Re: Tangerine Dream,Violator Kush,Red Dragon & Super Lemon Haze
They are looking awesome as expected HD, I cant wait to get my hands on a decent camera myself. Its funny how growers all the sudden become photographers overnight, and good ones at that. The girls are looking amazing though. That really sucks to hear about the TD, I had a few scares with lights already, one night I was a little stoned and it was late, I walked out without turning the room light off where the flowering tent was, thankfully I havent seen any issues yet. The worst was the other day, somehow something went wrong with my timer and if I wasnt there at the exact time standing there waiting for the lights to come on, I would have been screwed. I dont know what went wrong but it was a wake up call as to how something so stupid and insignificant can screw a grow up quickly. So now when I go in to check the dehuey in the AM and look in on the veg girls I check all the timers.
As far as those products I picked up, I am on the fence with using any of them on my larger girls. I know that they could really make a difference, but its kinda late in the game to roll the dice with a product like that. From what I've read, they can literally change the game as far as yield and resin production, but they can also end the game if you arent careful, so I think I will spare my big girls that are nearing the end of their lives and try it on some of the clones I have in there and then start using it when I start getting the perpetual going. I want as much bud as I can get, but I'm not ready to risk it all to get another zip or whatever I could possibly get out of it. If I used it through out flower like it supposed to be used, I think I would get more out of it. A little risky thats all. I think you'll be happy with the hygrozyme, just dont use it too late into flower or else they will never finish. Did you read that article? If not please do as the instructions on the bottle arent all that descriptive, I actually had a bottle of it for well over a month before I used it because I couldnt find a decent description of what it did until I came across that dude bay areas post. Yesterday I fed my bigger girls and I worked them down to 3ml per gallon of hygrozyme which will be their last dose of it, the way it was explained to me was to start low and work your way up to a plateau with the suggested doses and then work your way back down to nothing a couple weeks before harvest. But I think you will really benefit using EJ, the dude that wrote that post swears by both, and actually compiled quite a bit of data to back up his statements, however it was his data but if nothing else it was worth reading.
As far as the colors, Its another thing I'm not 100% on yet. I have been doing a bit of reading about it, and all the experienced guys will tell you its just color and it does nothing for potency and all that but I say why not? If I can bring out some coloring to add bag appeal, not necessarily for selling purposes but just for the hell of it why not? I have seen some pics of the most insane blue I have ever seen, I almost didnt believe it was a pot plant, I thought it was photoshopped or something thats how crazy it looked. I cant find it again to save my life but after seeing it I am obsessed. But its brought out by lower temps at night and can be induced by exposing the roots to sub 55 degree temps towards the end of flowering. I think its done easier with a hydro system and a chiller because it can be run constant but I think an icewater flush will bring it out as well, I'm gonna give it a try anyhow, I dont think I could hurt it that late in flower, I plan on trying it towards the very end, maybe the second to last watering or something, still havent worked it out yet. As far as it being brought out in any strain, I think some color will come out but you will get the most out of strains that naturally have color in them like purps or any of the purple strains. I am still finding a little info here and there so I am not 100% on any of this but I'm trying to find out what I can. Once I can get the perpetual going I will have enough plants to try different things on, right now I just need to get these girls through my first try and get some smoke for myself, I just cannot afford these prices anymore and shit weed aint cutting it, LOL.
As far as the ages on my girls, the larger ones were all a little different as far as veg time but as far as flower they are on week 6 day 3 from the flip and all the others that I've shown pics of are on week 4 day 6 from the flip. Its absolutely crazy how the 2 free plants turned out to be the best ones, the kandy kush was free and la blanca was free, both are turning out to be the best looking anyhow, we will see how they are as far as the smoke.
I'll catch up with you guys later on, but they are looking good man.
