TheBlaze: Genesis, Chapter 1, Verse 1

Yeah, I'm a long time HPS fan. Then I was a long time fan of HPS + LED, but I find the old blurples better at supplemental lighting than the more powerful, but whiter saga LEDs I ran not too long ago. From there I got rid of the sagas and added 2 gavita plasma lights. They get the job done, but 2 of them was too much for an 8 x 4 tent. Starting getting UV burn and "bleaching" on a few of the buds. Also lost terps, simply because it was too much of a good thing. Now I have one plasma running, and the results are better. Not quite as much resin, but no UV burn and the plants are smelly AF. Problem is, plasmas are simply too expensive. So I can't expand and keep using them. So going forward I'm just going to be running gavita pro 6/750 DE HPS lights. Have 2 stashed away, and will get another 2 with their master controller. Some nice kit that.
 
I dropped them yesterday while moving them around. Too scared to open the boxes and look. Trying to be optimistic. They are well insulated with polystyrene though. Nice snug fit in those boxes.

Johnnie the first time I ODed on a sativa edible was Headband. I woke up the next morning and had to send my wife to a birthday party with my son because I was still too wrecked, and spent the morning off in space somewhere instead! 18-20 hours seems to be the OD range for me, and 100+ mg will give me that massive high. We have terpene-removed edible oil in Canada too and I've ODed on that too and it was much milder.

I do find I can still get the racy / paranoid feeling from vaping, same as smoking. I'm terrible for red eyes when I smoke and don't get them when vaping though. Makes going out in public way more manageable!

For me, once I was used to the initial onset of vaping for the first 30 minutes or so... The experience is very clear and in the HEAD. That initial RUSH can be a DOOZY getting used to. I'm old school, I still use my vape box with glass on glass whip(lately ROSIN freak!).
 
Nice work on the harvest Blaze. I still think I'm about 10 days or so out on my PE. Hope it turns out as good!
 
Thanks guys

She definitely takes a while to ripen.

Got my PE mother back. Going to get her nice and healthy, and then take cuttings.
 
I threw the sour bubble leaning Dnets into flower last thursday. The GG#4 leaners went in yesterday. The DMT (sour bubble) leaners are looking the business now. Took some photos. Not much to see, but I like them. Please excuse the HPS glare.

I want to throw out a number, but I don't want to jinx it. Let's just wait and see. My best pull to date was 120g from one plant.

Those DMT leaners have really bounced back nicely from the mite attack. I won't run 20L pots with soil again though. 40L is where it is at. In a few days, I will haul them out of the tent and take better photos. :thumb:
 
In coco my final pot size would be 20L/5 gal. In soil, especially with longer veg times, 20L is too small. At least from what I have noticed.
 
I was told a litre of soil for each week the plant will be in the pot, so for a 8 week veg one would use 8 l of soil over and above what's obviously already around the root ball. Does this make sense
 
Yeah, that makes sense. I'm just not sure how they got to that figure.
 
Yeah, Reaf knows what he is doing. I've been friends with him for many years now. Last I saw, he was using fairly big pots though. About the same size I use. I will chat to him. Thanks for the tip Justin. :thumb:
 
In my experience, 5 gallon pots or smarties are good for around 80-90 grams and are pretty maxxed out in my opinion. My last 3 plants were SO matted up with roots they were having a hard time draining from just feeding them. AND... those were 5 gallon smart pots that air prune, I couldn't even imagine if they were plastic. If you are looking for QP size plants(inside), get 7's or above, these plants LOVE the room and the WIDER the pots the better! Outside, I dig 25-30 gallon holes or bigger and 2.5 - 3 feet around. IF I could grow them bigger than 6 feet(AREA limited, 6.5 feet MAX which I usually hit with one or two a season) easily 50 gallon holes and 8-10 foot SUPER monsters. These plants can look like orange tree structure/branches, with MASSIVE cola's.... ONE can only admire and appreciate what we have and I'm thankful my little spot has been a GEM for years now. Back on track(freakin' GOD bud Rosin), I've grown with 3 gallon all the way up to BIG holes in the ground and 3 gal smarties are good for right around 50-60g, 5 gal 80-90, 7 you should hit a QP or more in a solid environment with no big issues. In my example, if I were to bunch up 6 3 gallon, I would shoot for 40g a plant or so on the low end, and hit a half elbow no problem. I just did 3 5's and all plants were in the 80g range with budget LED's. I wanted to do 3 5's again(60 days then FLIP), but my Bubbleberry didn't make it so it's 2 plants in 7's probably 70 days, I figure if I popped another I'm behind with one plant, this way it's still a week or so wait so it's a WASH. I haven't done 10's inside, I'm going to have to ponder that notion for a moment and check the dimensions and or data.

I finally pulled that BD and she was UGLIER and stinkier than ever. I forgot my camera, so I took a few phone pics but there absolute garbage and the phone is old and doesn't want to email them to myself. I can do it another way, but it's been hectic lately and HERE come the holiday's and just haven't had time. That freakin' BD was DIRTY too(washed her up ALL clean now), figures.. DIRTY... UGLY... and STINKY, and Heavy. I've grown a few pounder plants and SHE's definitely there and probably OVER. Every single bud is just flopping over with weight(the tiniest of branches just parallel with the ground). I know it's quite a bit just by washing it too, took well over an hour(1.25 definitely NOT 1.5 hours) and most of my plants that are in the half-3/4 lb range, take about 45-50 minutes with a nice prepared routine. The resin from the plant gave me welts on my forearm, always irritates my skin but these were pretty bad. This plant wasn't smelling very much and AS soon as I chop it the sucker JUST blew up the entire area! WHAT a ride with this pony... :volcano-smiley:
