Tad,

Regarding bud backbuilding.... To tell you the truth I really don't know. I need to do a run where I don't backbuild to know the difference.

I've only used this techniquic, I will have to do one without to tell you the difference.

I'll tell you this...you've seen the pics. IMHO the buds were very skinny after tipping them. But what the hell do I know....

HOWEVER!!!! The fat, tight, thickness of the skinny buds gave me the impression that bud backbuilding works. Tight with some mass to the center. You can even feel the weight in them.

I was very disappointed in the weight...but what the hell do I know...LOL. I'm being told 50 grams is average for a plant grown in this way so ok....LOL.

Yes, I was imagining a pound or two...but then I woke up...LMFAO....LOL.

My fucking brother sent a pic of cola the size of a baseball....no kidding. His legal outdoor grow out of SO CALI. DICK....LOL.

This was your first grow, right ? As you sound like you have done at least 100 of 'em, and average a kilo normally ;) As your gardening skills improve, so will yield ;)
 
Hey Renegade...sorry I missed the last 5-6 weeks of your grow. I ended up in the hospital with some health issues, but am better now. Great job on the Blue Mystic. I know you're disappointed in the yield, but enjoy the fruits of your labors and take it all in stride. I'm sure you've learned a lot during this grow (I know I did!), so it is a no lose situation. I hope your move went well. :high-five:
 
Fantastic Flux on 1 of my fav strains. I grew some Azure Haze and it was similar: smelled great and awesome buzz. It's by DJ Short, and is kinda expensive, but a great grow.
Since u obviously like plant-training, u might want 2 check out espalier. I'm in edible landscaping, and 1 of my specialties is espalier. I make fences out of trees (usually apple, but also apricot). I think u might enjoy.
Thx for doing such a great job and letting us look over your shoulder.
 
What use would it be to use that technique on cannabis ? (aside from the fact that a flux is a horizontal one, vs a vertical one)

I would be cool, to have a bunch of cannabis plants holding hands in a friendship circle, but I doubt it is gonna be good for my yield :p
 
My apologies if I was unclear. I had sugggested doing espalier for plants other than the Knowledge Tree. Espalier is typically used for perennials, and usually fruit trees, but I have sculpted some plants over the years for aesthetix and because it's just plain old fun.
The only real advantage in terms of yield is really a stealth issue. In a guerilla grow, if someone spots your big old Xmas tree, your yield will be zero. Atypical shapes are much less easily spotted.

I planted some Asian pears from seed last fall. I'm hoping to create either espalier or flat woven trunks to create a living wall.
Then again, Marmot, the ground hog under our porch may have snuck out in the last month and eaten the seedling trees :)
 
...move the seedling trees to a growroom for their first stage of their life next time ... a lot less pests and critters there :p
 
Merry Christmas Renegade :xmas:
 
Merry, Merry Christmas to one and all.....

The move is complete and now we're buried in boxes...LOL.

The smoke continues to improve. We went out to a local smoke shop and got a new glass pipe.

Still no harshness out of her and the buds remain very soft in the middle. Needing to lay a bud or two out for a couple hours till they crisp up.

This journal is complete. I want to thank everyone who helped make it a success. So as not to offend anyone i'll thank EVERYONE!!

Next up is a dry run side by side with the P300, 96*3 and maybe the Spider. Once the house is in order we'll jump into that one. And we still need to get set up for the BID grow.

Anyone have a start date? I'll ask over at central.

Till then....got another box to unpack....yuck....LOL. Got some bud to ease the pain....LOL.

Mod's it's all yours.....
 
Thanks for sharing your grow with us.

Please head over to the 420 Strain Reviews forum and post your smoke report there too.

I’m moving this to Completed Journals now.

Have you started a new grow you would like to share with us?

If so, please feel free to start a new journal here: Journals in Progress

Hope all is well in your world.

Love and respect from all of us here at 420 Magazine.

:Namaste:
 
If I had to do it again I would order this light with more white for the brightness and deeper penetration.

^^ Is the fixture able to be ordered with more white? Great grow BTW .
Respect
 
Coco,

Thanks for stopping by. Yes, the "Spider"
