I'll give it a try wiz...thanks!
WT
there's so much valuable information in these threads. very interesting.
Hope your girls are recovering after the transplant! i'm rooting for you!
Had an idea about these LEDs...seems they add a couple of weeks to the flower time. Any thoughts on taking away a little of their day time? From what I understand they know to flower when it turns dark and some enzyme or something starts to revert back to something else...during light it switches back to day mode. Thought that maybe shortening the day by 30-60 minutes might bring the plants closer to standard flowering times?
tfl
well...i guess its safe to say we got a great recovery by all involved....WOOT! thought the church wasn't gonna make it for a while...and first pic shows me wrong! glad they are all goin now...lost maybe a week, but thats better than losing 20 plants.....AGAIN:wtf:

Weezard.....were you looking for this? :greenthumb:
HAHAHA thanks WH!!!! outta the Plan B Smashberry F2s, they are VERY different phenos....got one that is short FAT and dark...seems to be the one that leans much more to the purple kush side than the blueberry...sounds like a breeder!!! SNLxNH x SB?? hmmm...what kinda hybrid seeds will i be taking to cali??.....heh
defnitely doing the HKxBI and SB though...i love kushes, so Im gonna try to take the most Kushy phenos of those 2 strains to cross.....yummy.....

Oh sure, there were hints and allegations.

Full knowing that madness stalk the unwary I set upon the quest. :detective1:
Long grueling minutes slogging though the domain of the smilies
Rastas n hippies n pimps, oh my!
Silent, sad, bereft of reason.
I was sore afraid and yet, pushed on snuffling, sweating, grunting, swearing.
But alas no green did see. :i feel stupid:
Then thou didst come and rescue me
So I fed my dog and took a pee.
Did you draw a new one jus' for me!?
Or am I blind and acorn free?
T'anks Weedhound I owe ya one.

LOL!!! that was awesome weez..... its : greenthumb : but no space between the semi colon.. i just did that so you could see the text:thumbsup:
whiskeytango
Now THAT was a beautiful thank you. Wow!!
:)
first 2 are the HKxBI that I think is a male..then a group shot...and then the SB pheno that I am REALLY diggin...much darker and wider than the rest, I "assume" its pulling more towards the PK, in which case I will cross those two.....goody gumdrops...
:joint1:
whiskeytango
edit: 1st is HkxBI m?
2nd and 4th are the SB...PK pheno maybe
fuck I am high....the pots are labeled...i keep forgetting which one i put where as I type and they upload...look at the pic, strain is on the pot...church has the therm on it....:joint1:

thanks sunny!!! yeah, tits seems to be a great way to describe something good, lol....I like boobies!!! heh
plants are looking AMAZING, pics up around noon
whiskeytango
Update...The first pic is the Church, she seems to be pulling outta whatever funk she was in...
The second is the SNLxNH, I don't know what the fuck is going on here. The Ph is 6.8 nutes are being fed lightly, every other watering. They are getting the "wet" and "dry" periods, so I know its not over watering. Temp is 78-80, and RH is 55-60%. So, I dont fucking know. CalMag maybe needed?
The last three pics are group shots by strain. SB, BR, and the HKxBI respectively.
There is one HKxBI going nutty in there, lol. Got pre-flowers already too on it. So since breeding and seed stock seem to be the shifting priority, these guys will probably get switched to 13/11 instead of 12/12, this weekend. I am doing 13/11 since I am on 24 now, hoping for a lil more growth before taking clones next weekend. Thats the plans at least... The SNLxNH from the other grow is coming in here, and whatever is breeding is going over there. More on that later, to high to type anymore....
:joint1:
whiskeytango
Stealth have you checked the ph of the runoff on the SNL x NH?
Mine will do that too.....but immediately stop when I transplant them into fresh soil.....I can toss up a pic of my soil ones if you want....they do the same that but, again, always stop when I put them in fresh soil so perhaps try a transplant?
Also had some bugs....whiteflys etc sneaking in the house at night (in the living room....not the bloom room thank goodness) so when I sprayed my plants with bug spray they improved alot as well. BUT I think your yellowing is a soil/ph issue.
Awesome!! Thanks for the Update
For you SNLxNH, have you tried lowering the ph? Or do you think that is what's causing the burn? Or do you think that the one specific leaf that's on it's own stem has gotten blocked off (Nute block) possibly? I'm just throwing ideas out there for you to respond to...
Looks like your Church is doing fine now, glad to see that, and your HKxBI is quite a Bee-you-t!!
WH beat me to itQuote:

Thanks guys!! Will check run off and dose with Cal-Mag. Just transplanted recently into a 3 gal...Saw a few gnat lookin teeeny bugs in there, but they dont seem to be minding the plants..no evidence yet...

What is that? I'm so lost when it comes to this terminologyQuote:

Git it off dey feet, please.
At the very least.
With HIDs it'll overheat the soil.
With LEDs it'll suck up the light.
Point a tempgun at that pot, even under LEDs, you may be surprised.
Poly, white side up is great fo' cover da soil, Myla work too, but dey no breath,
I use Plain old paper towels, folded double, den again, cut da inner corner, make a slit.
Dey breath,
dey stop fungus gnats,
dey keep feets cool,
dey reflect,
an' bonus, dey glow bright white under da UV from blue LEDs.
Sure dey get soggy, but dey cheap n handy.
I see the Duct tape on the rims with the sticky exposed.
Nice trick! I'm gonna steal dat. Hope you no mind.
Sorry fo' be blunt, I worry 'bout dese kidz.
Aloha nui braddah,

Get some of those yellow stickpapers for the hatching adults.

Eggs hatch, fungus maggots eat, well, fungus.
But, dey also eat tiny feeder hair off da roots.
Adult plants jus' get slowed down and eventually outrun da maggots, but seedlings are in mortal danger!
Berry berry bad ting here!
Be aggresive!
I bought a pesticide, let the girls get real dry, actually let 'em wilt just a little, then mixed the poison and a little detergent in some aerated water and flushed da pots.
Be sure to cover 'em right away, or the flies will lay more eggs that hatch about the time the pesticide degrades.
Good luck brah
Wee worried Zard
Dude, gnats suck! One of my local hydro shops sells these little critters they keep in the fridge that will eat the larvae of those gnat fuckers. Take care of them quick before they get too outta control. They are a predatory organism of some type that is sold in a sponge - kinda looks like the inside of a tissue after someone blows their nose. Gross looking but worked for me when my dirt moms got the bug.....
Brilliant!Quote:

Thanks to MVP, I'm onna way to da hydro store.

Howzit, first post here on da site, I'm a long time prowler on all of your threads for your LED grow experiments. Thank you so much for all the detailed information.
I'm in the process of building a grow shack, I'm leaning heavily towards using LED's for my veg growth. I live in Hawaii, so we have ideal budding light year round.
Even though the Procyon is a bit overkill for me, I think that I will go that route. It would be nice to have the option of budding under lights if a weather system blows for a few days during the winter. Last Feb, we received 23 inches of rain in 48 hours and just 20 miles away had over 48 inches in that span.
WT/SNS: How happy are you with the lights? Would you do it again? Does the light fully cover your grow area, or do you notice that plants positioned in certain spots do better than others?
Once my new operation is under way, I'll post some pix. It will be a few weeks.
Aloha,
punaboi
Hello again you guys. just letting ya know i am lurking on your grow log:thumbsup:
if you have a procyon for each 3x3 of grow space, you will be fine...thanks guys for the comments and ideas!!!!
whiskeytango
dosed em with an organic insecticide/fungicide...mostly fish oil...room smells like blue crab now....lol Mixed it in with the watering, and gave a light foliar with it just in case....
