Not sure why more people are not using high temperature shut off controllers like I do, if my grow sees 90° light out. I have it to back up my extraction fans if they fail. $72 for piece of mind.

Icemud, I have a question for you. I have two 2x2 tents and two beautiful LED panels, an Advanced DS XML 350 and a Budmaster GOD 6. I was wondering which of these you'd consider superior for flowering, or are they comparable in your opinion?

Hey Sweet Sue! Great question...hmmm...

Well I have never used the Advanced XML so I can't really comment on how it does, I used the XTE's which have a different spectrum, shape and I believe possible different LED chips so its really hard to say. I know there are a few people here who have used the XML with great success and for a 2x2 tent, looking at the PAR charts it would make for an excellent fit.

The budmaster GOD panels did really well in my last grow, produced some of the best flavored and smelling meds to date that I have done, so right now the GODs have my attention

Now which is better? its really hard to say since I never used the XML, but I would say with either one, you will have an amazing harvest and excellent light source. If it were me, I probably would go with the GODs for flowering just because of how my last harvest turned out, very very flavorful. I think that the panels are both of great companies so I think either would make an ideal situation for your tent.

These things work great. I used to use one when I had my HPS setup going with 2 extraction fans.

Thanks Bangabong! I'm definitely very pleased with the harvest, and love having 7 different jars of flavorful nugs to choose from. Love having my Ogiesel buds, as its the perfect smoke for when you want to lay down and relax for bed. They should have named the strain "sandman" because after 2-3 hits, your eyes are shut and you are off in dreamland

Haha!

I try to take notes as I am testing, so that I can really give the full impression of the strain and I think once medicated, the writer in me really comes out almost in my head I think of taste testing/smoke reports like I was some wine connoisseur doing a writeup for a article Most of the time when I blaze, I don't really pay much attention to the subtle nuances that are involved with the process, so its fun when testing to just take a small hit and just let it marinade though the senses

Thanks for the rep my friend Yea I always forget about the rep thing, I have to get around and share it more

Thank you Icemud. That was pretty much my thinking. I'm very blessed to have the GOD panel. They sent me Stage's by mistake.

Re: Icemud LED Grow Featuring The All New Budmaster COB Technology - White Full Spect

Cob grow is looking sweet Ice & look forwards to flowering.

A seed grow ah with new stuff sounds exciting, i see BM have a blue spectrum panel (blue moon) these days for germination & vegging !

Even their EM panel infra red for the emerson effect sounds pretty cool but seen the same idea on another light source type to increase oil/odour etc

Re: Icemud LED Grow Featuring The All New Budmaster COB Technology - White Full Spect

SweetSue, I have an advanced Xml350 in 4x4 tent covering a 3x3 tray. It definitely rocks the tray. I have it for 2+years so I know the tech is a bit outdated as far as the cobs they use in them compared to this years led tech. I was considering ordering another to fill the entire 4x4 footprint and nix the tray until I saw Ice's bml cob journal. I pm'd Ice, asked a few ?'s, watched his light vids, asked some more questions lol, sub'd this journal and then I happened upon DIY led. I was considering the new bml lights Ice is featuring. 1 each to swap modules out. Now I'm gonna build my own. Ater saying all that, If I were to purchase a pre made light, it would most definitely be bml or 1 maybe 2 other companies offering the new tech. Bml is one company that is on top of the game in that regards IMO.

Ice, yessir the reports are just that. Akin to a wine connoisseur's perception. I saw a Mj palatte/tatse/smell graph that would certainly help me with my failed attempts at the 1 smoke report I have, but I can't find the site nor the file for it. Lost all my bookmarks do to an upgrade.

I hear there's a strain called night nurse that has those characteristics as well. As a matter of fact thank you for reminding me, I have a relative that needs a sleep aide.

Re: Icemud LED Grow Featuring The All New Budmaster COB Technology - White Full Spect

Strain Review: Smoke Report: Tangie #3


General:

This tangie was one of my favorites from last grow. It starts off in flowering having a very tar/asphalt smell with a cheese and sweet garlic smell but not much citrus. Even though one of the lower yielding of the phenos I have, and the buds are sort of foxtaily and knobby, the taste of this one is very good. I'm still debating whether to keep it or go with #5 as 5 has many similarities in sense of smell and taste but was a higher yielding plant and the bud structure was nicer. Still can't tell yet, have to do more testing lol.


The smell:

The smell of this one once dried is very interesting, and very pungent. Its hard to exactly place the array of smells that make up the fragarence but its very heavy citrus/orange smelling, almost like smelling a slighly overripe orange mixed with spraypaint. It also has a garlic/spicy/pungent type smell to it which gives you that wow face when giving a squeezed bud a wiff, very fragarent.


The inhale:

The initial inhale of this one is very harsh on the back of the throat, and makes you want to cough instantly but after the smoke gets to the lungs its nice and pleasant where you could hold your hit in for a long time. The taste of the smoke is that of a very citrus orange with a sweetness to it. The taste is not extremely long lasting but its a very good taste and the exhaled smoke leaves a nice aroma of orange freshness in the air.


The effect:

This one again is one of my favorites for the effect out of the tangie phenos. Immediately upon the inhale you feel your energy level rise, your eyes seem to open up and your senses all "wake up" and become very active. The thought process is very clear and not overloaded and you feel very social and happy. Such a great day time smoke for getting things done, social outings, or even anything artistic or creative. You wouldn't want to smoke this one though if you were looking to get rest as it definitely shows off its sativa dom characteristics.


Overall I still really like phenotype #3 and it will be a hard one to cut from the final round, but we will do some more taste testing over the next few weeks as the bud cures longer and see which one takes the win

Strain Review: Smoke Report: Tangie Phenotype #8



General:
This is the tangie phenotype that I cut from my last round, and I almost regret the decision after giving her another go round. Out of all the tangies this is the highest yielding one as well as seemed to actually need longer time in flowering than the others which seemed to finish much quicker. The reason I cut it was that the high last round didn't stack up to the others and the bud structure was very airy and funky. Now that I have run them all again, this one probably has the most unique, sweet smell out of all the phenos.


The Smell:

#8 definitely seems to rock a very sweet smell and its very pungent and pleasant. A close wiff reveals a very sweet citrus smell, like a fresh cut orange would smell, mixed with a carmel and cheese type aroma, this one definitely has some amazing scent. This is why I almost regret getting rid of the genetics last round as even though the buds were odd and ugly, the terps were off the chart and it would have been nice to breed into the other phenos or strains I have. Oh well, I still have some seeds left so I can always try again for her

The inhale:

The inhale of #8 is very smooth, no throat burn or lung expansion. It almost feels as though you are inhaling a flavored mist and its very enjoyable. The taste is that of a very sweet, citrus taste followed by hints of cheese. Overall the taste of #8 is amazing and is an enjoyable pheno overall.


The effect:

The effect of this pheno sort of comes on quite slow and non shalontly, and you don't really feel an immediate change. A few minute after smoking you realize that you feel more light, like the stresses have been lifted, and a slight energy comes on. The thoughts however are much more disfunctional and racy, so concentrating is very tough and even getting my fingers to type this seems like a task. Overall the high is good, and would be great for daytime activity which don't require steady concentration, like outdoors activities. This one sort of gives me an anxiety type feeling where I don't feel content inside, like I have to figure out what is not right and fix it, but can't pinpoint that thing to fix...LOL if that helps describe the feeling.

Overall even though the terp profile on this one is amazing, the racy, cloudy anxiety type effect it brings on is not my type of feeling I favor so I am glad I got rid of this pheno. I still enjoy it while its left but I think I favor the purple pheno and #3 still the most out of all the other phenos.

Grow Update:


The clones:

So as of now, some of the clones have rooted enough to be planted, and some are still taking their sweet time on getting roots out. I may take some more cuttings tomorrow if I don't see roots to make sure they root and so I can get my plants into flowering soon as they are getting large. The black cherry soda so far has 3 clones that all rooted, the fire og 2 rooted, the harlequin 1 rooted, and the tangie #6, 2 rooted. 3 cuttings were taken of each strain. Black Cherry Soda will be the first feminized seed to be produced in my upcomming seed project so I will keep 3 of this one, and 2 of all the others, one to mother/veg and the other will get cross pollenated with the black cherry soda.

Still waiting for roots:
Harlequin x1
Black Diamond OG x2
Tangie #3, x2
Tangie #5 x2
Tangie #6 x1 (one of the clones didn't like the soil and wilted, not enough humidity)
Ogiesel x2

Currently I am running this tent on the Gas Lantern Routine, and only using one of the GOD-4's on 1/2 power (85w) until the clones get situated in their new soil and start showing some new healthy growth.

The COB/VEG (soon to be flowering) Tent:



The veg/soon to be in flowering tent is doing amazing and I have corrected all the leaf issues on all the plants. It took me letting the soil really dry out a lot along with ph balancing my feedings and the plants have really shown some fast new growth and look very healthy. Today when I was moving up my COB lights, I noticed that one of the modules on one of the lights, the fan wasn't working, so I will have to contact BM to get a replacement, or just pick one up locally at the electronics store. Not too worried about it as these things happen and easily replaced but just figured I would note it as I do with any issues during light testing. I turned off that 1/2 of the panel until I get a new fan to prevent the COB from overheating.

The girls got fed today with just 2 cups of some water and botanicare organic grow I recently picked up. I like earth juice a lot but also wanted to try something new and so I saw the botanicare organic grow and figured I would get it instead of getting more earth juice which seems much harder to find at local stores.

After I either see the rest of my clones root, or take more cuttings I will be flipping this tent to flowering because the plants are really starting to get tall. I'm using the Gas Lantern Routine still and the plants seem to absolutely love it. The plants seem so much less stressed then they did on the 18/6 schedule which I love, plus saving more electricity which is money in my pocket double win for GLR

Lots of work Ice. It's paying off I see. Great report bro, lovely looking buds. You are in your grove. It's hard with two area's on different feeding schedules. But all looks well.

You are welcome Sweet Sue sorry I couldn't give more of a "pick this one" answer, since I never used the XML, but I think both companies are great companies and make amazing products so either you choose should do you well The GOD panels are amazing, and I think you will really like it

Even their EM panel infra red for the emerson effect sounds pretty cool but seen the same idea on another light source type to increase oil/odour etc

Yea I have to say Budmaster really has a nice line up of choices of LED lights, whether you want COB, blurple, blue, IR or strip lights they have it all I get updates from Paul often and he is always busy with new ideas and products and constantly working to provide the best products on the market He has some really cool ideas and new lights coming too can't say anymore at this time though

Those blue lights are interesting, however I used similar ones by Advanced which were all blue, and noticed the lack of red in the spectrum creates very stretchy plants. Not sure if the BM's are any different, however due to the research I did it seems that all blue spectrums do this without any red. The Ex-VEG that I used did an amazing job vegging the plants, very fast and happy plants, but just very stretchy as well.

Those EM panels though, look awesome. Not only can they be used for increased oil, but also for photoperiod manipulation by running longer than 12 hour days, with 2 hrs of IR at night is supposed to keep plants in flowering, even with longer than 12 hour day periods

Thanks for chiming in with your experience with the XML. Good to hear that they are doing well in your garden I never used them but used the XTE's and I really liked the XTE panels. I think she will be good whatever choice she makes between the 2 options. Both are quality

I want to eventually build my own too, not for any other reason than just to do it looks like a fun project now just need the extra $$ and the space to do it
