Grape Ape! It's pretty damn nice, I must say.

I'll be starting some new purple strains soon. The Ape is strong and delicious, but I think I can do better. We shall see.

 

[tlx9]

Yes. Why would you do such a thing?

I just missed being able to check on and work in veg room anytime I wanted, but if it will stress them out then forget that. I have too much in my tent to temp that. What I did instead is started a bunch more seeds and I am gonna veg them in a different tent 24/0 with t5 lights.

A couple weeks ago I started my Purps seeds. They seem to be doing great so far. Have you or anyone else grown this strain with the kit?

I got this white out on the tip of two colas, looks like a trichome party. But really, what the heck is going on here? I've never had this happen before. Oh yeah, it's a nearly finished (or is it, hehe) Blue Kush from Dinafem Seeds in HiBrix kit. Looks like an alien head...

"Hash tips" is a common term. S'ok.

 

[Graytail]

A most welcome development!

I love running across them in cured bud - instant hash hit!

I advise against doing that. The only advantage to 24/0 is that the clone can immediately adapt (with relief) to any phot0period.

You can interrupt 18/6 with light anytime you wish. My veg room is on 16/8 and I open the door all the time, etc. The extra light is no different than running a GLR. it won't change the hormones, which are already in the vegetative phase.

Plants need a rest!

Love that pic Doc, looks almost like a rose bud haha.

Thanks, I didn't know it had a name. That one has my name on it.

Almost on par...

My main focus is the get the individual grower on par with the most elite growers. I'm for the small, homegrown market.

Why in the world would anyone want to pay big bucks for a product they can grow at home? My goal is to have the home grower's exceed the quality of the larger growers.

They feel it! It worries them and it should.

Doc,

Just finished my first full-HB grow, and I'm impressed to say the least. Never did I have to worry about pests or deficiencies or pH'ing my water. Simple. Effective. Dank. For that, I thank you.

Working at a shop, a grow, and in my own closet has exposed me to pot from all over Colorado. That said, the stuff that comes of my closet beats almost everything except the choice buds coming from the hydro grow where I work. Let's compare apples and oranges:

My HB closet grow. Papaya #1 and #2.

The ladies where I work. Grown hydroponically in 8" rockwool cubes. In order of appearance: F'N Wrecked, Animal Cookies, Death Star, Hell's Fire #2, and Hell's Fire #1.

Though the buds at work appear frostier, I attribute most of that to genetics (Papaya vs. Hell's Fire is not a fair comparison). I'm growing the same cut of Animal Cookies and Flo that we grow at work in my 2nd flower tent. When those finish in about two weeks, we'll have to compare apples to apples.
I'll stop back with a smoke report when the buds finish drying and curing.

Until then, may the brix be with you.

Are you taking night shots with a good flash?

Strain selection my good man. I throw them in the bin if they don't frost up. The only strains I grow (excepting Willie Nelson) have to be loaded with resin.

That's probably all it is....

I use a cracked Cannon PowerShot SD1200 IS 10 megapixel camera set on auto. If you look closely, you'll see a line through all my pics because the camera is broken/cracked.

I take shots in the dark.

 

[flowerfarmer]

If that's broke I wouldn't fix it.

 

[Doc Bud]

I'm a cheap bastard like that. I could take much nicer pictures for sure. But then when people come visit they would see what they expect to see. This way, it looks even better in person.

I think I come every few weeks to this thread and all I find is porn! Thanks Doc!!!!
