Graytail's 3rd: 4x4, HiBrix, Latest LED Tech, Lots Of Light!

Hmm, I didn't reply immediately, and ... two days passed ... oops. :cheesygrinsmiley:

@SweetSue - I've rolled it around and around in my head, and it's just too hard to try to custom fit something like that. Ima gonna try to do a really nice permanent job, with the shiny white board paneling over the insulation for easy cleaning, hopefully all sealed up, too. :cheesygrinsmiley: I'll lose the heat sink in the summer, but I'll do better in the winter. I could always install a window A/C for the basement, which would clear up both temp and humidity ...

@brightlight - I didn't fully answer your question. I'm pretty sure the plants could handle being closer to the lights, but they're thriving at this distance, and I'll let any taller plants grow up to the lights until I see stunting. It looks like both BHxUH and Tikal1 will be good candidates - BHxUH is at 41 inches so far and Tikal is at 37. :laughtwo:

@Darkgrow - You have a fine looking Panama there! Very nice early pheno! :thumb:

Shiny white board that's easy to clean isn't as effective for the grow space as a top-quality ultra-white flat paint, which will also be easy to clean if you apply at least two good coats. Shiny white board will give you potential hot spots. Flat white paint will give you BRIGHT!!! :battingeyelashes:
 
I didn't have time to get pics today so the update will have to wait until tomorrow, but ...

I did chop Tikal 4 days ago, and now it's dried and jarred and yielded 79 grams, 2.79 ounces over 191 days = 0.414 grams per day. :slide:

Sweet Graytail. Nice job. Beautiful nugs. Dang.

So now I have to wait a whole other day? Drat! I'm going to bed then. I'll see you all tomorrow. I'm beat. :Love:

Once again Graytail, :bravo:
 
Sweet looking harvest! Beautiful trim job. :thumb:
 
Whew - had a busy day today! Had to get pics, water everything, upcan a couple, spray DeStress ... Growin' yer own can wear an old guy out. :phew:

I pulled BHxDestroyer from the bloom room today, but didn't have time to chop 'er, so that'll be tomorrow. I really like the way this one turned out - wouldn't ya know, I didn't take cuts of it - go figure. But it frosted up really nice and started growing fat creamy foxtails the past week. Very nice. :cheesygrinsmiley:

Next up will be OHS1, due in mid October. I'm only running it because I took a clone before I sampled the mother. I'm hoping this one will do better. So far, it's been healthier, so it may come closer to its billing than the first one did. I want me an orange-tasting pheno.

UHxCarnival is a better strain, though. This is my favorite kind of plant - easy to grow, consistantly good color, great habit, early frost - love it! Look at the frost on the lower buds. :Love:

Tikal1 finally topped out at 37 inches! Nice bigun, heheh. :laughtwo: I'm not sure I want to grow another one that big, but here she is anyway. Fortunately, I like the smoke - quite a lot in fact. I'll do a report in a few more days, but as of now, I consider it to be a winner! :slide:

BHxUH is also very impressive - I have to remember to get a brix reading on her - the shine strikes me every time I get a set of pics - Very healthy happy plant! She was thirsty today, so she's limper than normal.

Purple Haze continues to be a fast wild thing. I'm gonna have to get this one into bloom early. She's going in the pot that BHxDestroyer vacates tomorrow, and then into bloom as soon as she acclimates.

Your little ones and youngsters are looking mighty pretty these days Graytail, and I see your strategy with the Tikal is to try to corral her early. Wise move. That may actually work, or did you try that before too.? The Tikal strain likes to play with you. :laughtwo:

I gotta say, that Buddha Haze x Destroyer is one of my current favorites. She's been consistently right there. It's so crazy, you feel like they take forever to get started and then you blink and they're ready to come down, although 172 days is a long time to wait. We're more patient than we get credit for, aren't we?

Your big Carnival is pretty too. She gets me so excited every week it's rediculous. Hehe!

Thank you for another bright spot in the week. It's so hard to wait Graytail! :laughtwo: :kisstwo:
