I wanna know how you get a 5' plant in your tent.. They sure must be able to get close to them lights without burning. I know it woodn't fly with a HID light. I think if I didn't have the 8' ceilings, I'd be using them LEDs in tents.. I've never tried one myself.. I hear ya on the R/H... Are you close enough.. she's looks real close.. I wood hate to see rott on them pretty girls.. what R//H are you at? GL and Keepem Green
Yeah Woodie... 3" from the lamps, no burn. Serious... might even be closer. Touching will burn for sure. I used to run HID... hotter... plants
bigger, more risk. Balancing act for sure. I switched to LED because I go away during the summer time.
Here you can sorta see the top cola at the lights... Those lamps are hung on the rafters... @ 6' - plant tops are at my eye level or a tad taller (I'm close to 6' tall) .. so 12" pot 5' ish plant & into the lights they grow.
I grew one time with HID while I was away for a week and stressed the whole time. That was it and I changed to LEDs so we can go automated. I ran Black Dog last summer, was away for 6 weeks of the flower cycle and came home to monsters with LED. That was it for me.
I have some more Black Dog...
I decided to harvest the Devils Tit #1 - yesterday. I freaked out when the ourdoor temps were in the 70s and it was looking like thunderstorms in the AM yesterday with RH way high.. it was only that way for a few hours thanks God. I have fans on the harvest while its hanging.
I took down:
Devils Tit #1 @ 65 days I think..
The Future - Clone @ 45 days - she was trying to flower in VEG so got off to a very fast start.
Chemdawg Clone @ 46 days - she was also trying to flower in VEG. So both clones took longer in VEG but shorter in flower.
Yields on the Clones are not big... maybe 2.5 zips dried for each one.
Replacements are:
Chemdawg Purps Clone - she is already 5' tall ... stretched to the lamps in 3 days... hopefully since shes a clone that's it for the stretch.
Her mom was pretty big and tall. This one is a huge bush. Already flowering.
Exotic Genetix - Labyrinth #1 - Spirit in the Sky X The Cube, Indica 60/40 THC: 22-26% Flower Cycle: 56 days
Exotic Genetix - Labyrinth #2
So 3 new girls in the flower room. This run I have some winners and a few so so's finishing up. All good meds that for sure but my yields are off due to my tardiness at the begining of this round. The previous round finished in under 60 days and I was not prepared and had to throw some shorties in FLOWER.
I chose wisely with the Devils Tit. Those were Sativa dom hybrids, so they stretched X3... to some nice large skirted tall ladies. Very impressed and glad I took clones. Haven't tested any buddage yet... a little scared really. I've been vaping mainly Indica dom poly hybrids lately so a more relaxed feel. Sativa will likely be daytime run laps around the yard weed.
gorgeous buds!
Thanks there buddy... love your nic... Farming in the bedroom. Takes a special touch!
Running out of superlatives for your beautiful buds & photography bob. Man that DT1 has it all....crunchy frost & amazing colors. Don't know if I care for "white knuckles" anymore though. Great gardening.
Hey there BL - thanks for kind words again! I know what you mean. I've grown straight up Sativa and yeah it gets a little rippy... but hey, maybe a good 2 week cure will tame her down a little. or prolly not!
I wanted some good make me wanna go out and garden buzz... lots of extra light outside this time of year, and I've got a lot of outdoors work to do. Help my wife in the flower beds.
I challenged her last year .. my flowers go 80 days .... how long do yours bloom?
She kicked my ass with Hydrangea Paniculata (a version of Hydrangea) - she kicked my ass but good .. flowers went at least 6 months. Only reason they came down was roofers roofing our home stepped on them, and that was in February.. those buds were still there, it was amazing. Wife got a promotion to chief bottle washer, I resigned my position. hahahahaha Passed the baton with hopes to get revenge!
Revenge, a plate best served .....wait for it.... GREEN and PURPLE ...
Hey hon.. don't get comfortable in your new position! just sayin... and I want my old job back.
Wow bob that looks really good just caught up on your journal very good stuff man
Welcome JC... thanks for the props.. I love gardening... and more than glad to share everything I know. I could write it all down with a coloring book and crayons.
