B.I.D.'s Mysterious 8.0 Featuring? Come See If You Dare!

[B A R]

Great photo shoot but that's the norm from BID. Question Big Irish Dude; I've been told veg RH should be around the mid 40%s but haven't really noticed many members there. What's your feedback on the matter?

 

[BigIrishDoode]

Nice work!

ty bro im having fun watching the changes, the reveg sour diesel #2 has sprouted new leaves since the new lights went in

 

[timothypaul26]

Those are some nice looking plants, love the sheen and dark green leaves. That purple urkle is very pretty!!

 

[GrizzWald]

It's your bid, and we are all watching!! Sorry! Peace

 

[spiffy]

I wish you guys could smell those plants. I went in the grow room last night when I got done touching all the different bud sites I had sticky fingers. Oh and the smell is beyond belief. Oh and so you all know the only boobs bid should break for are my big ol boobs unless I am pointing out a nice set to him lol

well ideally i would like to keep the rh in the target zone, i have tried using humidifiers buckets of water bla bla and its always been a hassle and personally didnt notice any major differences between grows where i did nothing about it vs keeping it near perfect, also i foliar feed and that boosts rh,so for the most part i dont worry much about it,i live in a dry place its an impossible battle, if i happen to notice its really low i give em a mist, the cool thing is i have never had any major problems with mold or mildew, perhaps one day i'll have a totally sealed and controlled room, till then i dont sweat it! ba dun dun!

that purple urkie looks wild.

that purple urkie looks wild.

it is amazing stuff it does not at all smell or taste like cannabis more like grapey freesia,hyacinth fruit floral ,with a great uppy daytime friendly buzz,pick it to early and its racy speedy , but social and nice with potential for munchies, and of course stunning bag appeal

I like the way you are able to explain the strain... I am like a Neanderthal "umm good"

Any luck with new/old genetics?

Thanxx BID. I feel much better now. I've been struggling with my Veg RH readings. Now I can do Lester's thing; Relax...

no nothing survived me...those 30 yr old beans have not poped so far still have quite a few to try,and the other genetics well it my fault i kinda let them stay in the dome to long,i will try again,im bummed the super snowdawg never popped i squeezed it and it was hollow the rest except for 1 gdp,1 grape 13,1auto,and 1 blue mystic all damped off, it was cold and i neglected them

What about having a low of 55 degrees isn't that too low? YouI would put a small room heater on a temp/timer to keep them temps from dropping below 65... I was told that you generally do not want more than a 15 degree difference from the temps Hi/Lows for optimal growing environment. Is this false information?

 

[B A R]

Yes, I think that would be quit low Dave but don't feel it would cause any real problems. I've read some members lights out temps are that low. My Veg tent low is about 72 F and my Bloom tent low is about 68 F. That's what they drop to during lights out.

Danky Dave bro,
With all due respect,
You aren't helping the rating in several ways.
Engaging in bickering with folks (who shouldn't do that either)
Leads to many, many non BID journal related posts. (Like this one)
Also maybe proof read your posts. Majority have spelling errors.

Also maybe just sit back relax and watch the whole thing go down with out commenting frequently.

People wanna see plants grow under the LEDs and get BID's take on the lamps. And they would like to do so with out reading through pages of unrelated chatter just to get to the meat and potatoes.

I hope this doesn't seem like I'm being a dick or harsh... You asked and I think that is your answer. BID is the respected grower here and you chose him so let the man do his thing.

Ok..I will stop being involved and just let things be...
Later all, if you have any questions hit me up...peace

Hey Dave I wanted to comment about the temps. As long as you do not go below 50 degrees F you should not have a problem with growth also the low temps bring out the colors in the plants during flower. Making them more appealing to the eye. In the end you have a bud that smells amazing and looks just as good.

 

[DankyDavid]

Sweet.... genetically makes a little sense. We no too much heat starts to lighten the color of leaves...why wouldn't it do the opposite? Theoretically it makes sense. Seeing I am no geneticist I can say is absolute truth but..very cool. I just learned something Thanks

rather than type it all out myself i was lazy and borrowed from green wellness dot com

"The reason some strains of marijuana turn purple is the same reason why some trees leaves turn colors in the fall, why red grapes are purple, why a blood orange is so red, why an eggplant is purple, why blueberries are blue, and why black raspberries are black. This phenomenon is caused by the occurrence of something known as anthocyanin accumulation which causes anthocyanin to build up within plants. While chlorophyll is what gives weed and plants in general their green color, anthocyanin is what makes weed purple, and carotenoid is what will make weed yellow or gold." Does purple cannabis have any added benefits over just green?
"If you do some research on anthrocyanin, you'll find that it is an excellent anti-oxidant that occurs in various foods, much sought after by sufferers of arthritis and fibromyalgia. Perhaps cannabis with a high level of anthrocyanin is beneficial for conditions in which an anti-inflammatory medicine is desired."

From https://www.mellowgol...anabotany3.html
"d) Color - The perception and interpretation of color in Cannabis floral clusters is heavily influenced by the imagination of the cultivator or breeder. A gold strain does not appear metallic any more than a red strain resembles a fire engine. Cannabis floral clusters are basically green, but changes may take place later in the season which alter the color to include various shades. The intense green of chlorophyll usually masks the color of accessory pigments, Chlorophyll tends to break down late in the season and anthocyanin pigments also contained in the tissues are unmasked and allowed to show through. Purple, resulting from anthocyanin accumulation, is the most common color in living Cannabis, other than green. This color modification is usually triggered by seasonal change, much as the leaves of many deciduous trees change color in the fall. This does not mean, however, that expression of color is controlled by environment alone and is not an inheritable trait. For purple color to develop upon maturation, a strain must have the genetically controlled metabolic potential to pro duce anthocyanin pigments coupled with a responsiveness to environmental change such that anthocyanin pigments are unmasked and become visible. This also means that a strain could have the genes for expression of purple color but the color might never be expressed if the environmental conditions did not trigger anthocyanin pigmentation or chlorophyll breakdown. Colombian and Hindu Kush strains often develop purple coloration year after year when subjected to low night temperatures during maturation. Color changes will be discussed in more detail in Chapter IV-Maturation and harvesting of Cannabis.

Carotenoid pigments are largely responsible for the yellow, orange, red, and brown colors of Cannabis. They also begin to show in the leaves and calyxes of certain strains as the masking green chlorophyll color fades upon maturation. Gold strains are those which tend to reveal underlying yellow and orange pigments as they mature. Red strains are usually closer to reddish brown in color, although certain carotenoid and anthocyanin pigments are nearly red and localized streaks of these colors occasionally appear in the petioles of very old floral clusters. Red color in pressed, imported tops is often a result of masses of reddish brown dried pistils."

i have noticed several of the strains i am running produce more trichs with the lower temps like the sour diesel #2 ,blue dream, and GDp,and they develop more turpenes for a different and stronger flavor and aroma
hope that clears some things up for anyone wondering
and to be honest i love my purps!! just ask jandre or any of the members that have followed me for years im a freak for purps

 

[timothypaul26]

That is some nice info. I am after arthritis easing medicin, so maybe I should stick with more purpleish plants?
