Those buds are looking great! What are you thinking of the LED now?

Im really liking it. I think its great for what it is and in certain applications. This is only a 250 watt and its really putting out. I cant compare it to my HPS just because this is only a 250 watt LED. I would love to have a comparable 600 watt LED to give my true input. With that being said, WW has beautiful buds and looks to be very good quality but it holds no weight over my HPS plants. My blue cheese would eat this plant lol... But the quality is there so im giving it a thumbs up! I would love to do a test with two of these 250 watt LEDS on a DWC grow. Hmmmm, Maybe an upcoming journal? ;)

OMG yes. When you open the tent just a deep, skunky, piney smell. When you brush a bud or touch it the fruity, dank smell just explodes. I cant wait to see, smell, and smoke the final product!
 
Res change and root porn! Raised PPM to 1300 on the 500 scale.

Alaskan purples are just doing amazing. Some of the earliest frost like this ive seen that I can remember. She has frost like this in 2 weeks flower. Her bud development is also doing amazing.

I check on each grow a few times a day and stick my nose to a cola and smell all three strains. When im done my nose is a little sticky and I have the most amazing aroma every time I breath for about a hour of all three strains mixed. Its so crazy how different all strains are and you can really tell it when growing different ones at the same time.

I carry cutters to WW every time I check her and I still cant bring myself to cutting a cola yet. Shes just developing so well. Bulking and seeing some foxtailing and new pistils all over and just making the colas massive. I squeezed one today and they are rock hard.

Couldnt resist! Took a smaller tester cola from the side. Def still has about a week or even two after closely checking trics.

Order placed for another 250 watt 301b board. It will go in with the HPS on blue cheese to add wattage (total 950 watts) to this big girl and then next switch out after blue cheese in this room will be two - 250 watt boards for 500 total LED watts on one plant. Stay tuned! =)
 
I thinned out blue cheese this morning. Cut a lot of smaller growth off and just thinned her up all around. The growth rate is kinda slow and im thinking it due to just how massive she is. I dont think there is enough wattage on this plant. Thinning her out this morning should have been done 2 weeks ago but hopefully this will help her focus on the tops that remain.

With that being said the smell on this blue cheese is like nothing ive ever smelled before. I know where it gets its blueberry name from. I ask my friend to smell (not knowing the strain), and ask what does that smell like? She said BLUEBERRIES! Sure enough. If you brush up to a top you get a straight blueberry sweet aroma. Its so crazy how this strain actually smells. Lets hope her bud production kicks it up a notch! I have 2 BC clones and hopes to do a blueberry cheese soil grow under LED. Most likely one plant under the 500 watt that I was talking about after this one!
 
I want to try the refrigerator drying method this time on some sample buds. Do I just put them in paper bags and leave them in the fridge? I think someone told me how to do it and I didnt save it. Sorry.
 
I think 30 grams per sandwich baggy and put in the fridge to dry until they hit your curing humidity is what the directions call for. I just trim and stuff mine into paper grocery bags and leave in the fridge until dry enough for the jars.
 
Sunday update! Res change for blue cheese. Shes doing great. Just added the extra 250 watt LED along with the 600 watt HPS for a total of 850 watts on this ONE girl. Development is looking better since cutting all the underneath tops that wasnt going to do anything. Hoping this extra wattage helps with some massive colas.

PPM 1300
pH 5.7-6.2

WW is doing great! Check out these fall colors! =). Still new pistils and small foxtailing out the colas. Everything is finally turning cloudy with some amber but still not ready for me yet. Last pics is of that cola I took last week all dried and curing. Smoke is wonderful! A lot of clear trichomes on the first cola I took, High is still great. Cant wait for a finished one. Shes frosty!
