Irydyum's Kush grow

Holy crap it's getting close. I cut a small nug off the unknown plant (the lowest branch on the plant) and dried it to see if I could identify what it was. I'm 99% sure it's the Church cut from my last run. Here's a picture of it. I have a feeling she may do some color change if I can keep it cool.

Here's your size comparison LSY :) I didn't know what else handy to put up.

Here goes a couple different Sierra Kush plants. The greener of the 2 (left) was flowered half the time under LED, and since under HPS (about 12 days). Had to move all the larger sierras under the HPS because they were just itching to put some weight on, and it's paid of well:thumbsup:

Here's one of the smaller Sierras, it's about a foot tall. Nothing really but LED for this one, it's on the complete opposite side of the HPS.

Here is the Church plant. I took a cut off one of the leaves from the main cola about halfway down to check out under the scope today. Day 43 and I saw my first amber trich. That's pretty fast. Granted it's not done yet, but to see it this early is nice, don't really have to worry about a premature harvest at this point.

Here is the indica pheno of the 2 NL/Skunk plants. It stayed much more compact than it's sister (which is sativa all the way) and is really beginning to pack on some nugs. The smell of it is something hard to describe, it reminds me of cherry cough syrup or something like that. Very tart, almost cherry but not cherry candy. Surprising that it smells nothing of NL or Skunk.

Last but not least has been my favorite little one this run. It was flowered right after it rooted and a branch from beneath the soil emerged and kept pace with the main cola, kinda looks like a slingshot or wishbone. I left it in a gap on the HPS side, shaded as hell, but it's put on some nice little golfball tops.

I'm planning on cutting the sierra and the church within about 12 days. The NL's may get to go a little longer if I can afford the time. They'll likely get one more light feeding, then it will be time for the great flood. Nothing but water till I'm home. I have given some thought to an Ice Water flush and maybe 2 days of dark before chop, but I'm undecided as of yet. I have been reading about the ice flush in another forum and i'm curious to see if it has any merit. As with everything else in this game, who the hell knows for sure. The logic seems plausible, if you can get the ladies to believe it's frost time, maybe it will stress them into more trich production? Maybe I'll try and let you all know what I think. Till next time, peace.

Got a new toy in the mail today so where I'd normally post up bud shots, I'm getting down to the nitty gritty so you all can see what I see around harvest time.

First 2 here are different levels of zoom on the Church. The first pic is a close up of an upper bud leaf, while the second is of the lowest bud on the plant. There is definitely a noticeable difference in maturity.

The second 2 are the same shots but of the Sierra Kush. Also a top leaflet, then a lowest bud. Same trend is apparent here.

Lasty, and most surprising of the bunch to me is the NL/Skunk. This leaf is off of the more sativa pheno. I didn't think I would see anything but clear, maybe a touch of cloudy, but the pic speaks for itself.

those trichs look cool....you can see some sort of star inside them from the lighting :thumbsup:

Do those gals ever see any UVb?

Wee.

I couldn't tell you with certainty. I can tell you it's a Hortilux Eye, 400w and it's in a SusSystem hood behind what I believe to be UV restrictive glass. Unless I got some super spytech UV LED in one of those nifty bars, I don't believe there is any.
