LED growing- An instructional grow log

[SnSstealth]

ok....day 58 flower...in response to my "slightly above average" resin production claim...I give you my lil 16in JH x BB, that will give me over an ounce easy count them, NINE tops!....I will leave it up to you guys to tell me if this is "average"...please let me know your opinions, I have been growing with JH for some years now, and have never seen resin like this...only off of VERY few special plants...imagine if I had the LEDs when they were around.....

never had to tie up a 16in plant before either...so much for sub par yeilds with LEDs as well as far as I am concerned....

Do your plants smell as strong as they did with HID's. I find with CLF's that the plants don't give off such a strong smell as with HID, and am wondering how the LEDs are.

I'm thinking maybe it's the radiant heat from the HID that makes them more fragrant?

I definitely notice you cant smell them barely at all...we havent even turned on the ozone generator yet... I believe its from the fact that the girls transpire (sweat) alot less under these lights, yes...from the lack of heat...thats the reason you water alot less as well....less heat, power, smell, bugs...more resin, decent yeild...well, Im sold...

sorry i stand corrected, your resin production matches my white strains under an hid ww wr. and there bred to look that way. you do have very nice resin production.

have you heard of icing the roots at harvest?
a buddy of mine said that he learned a trick from the grower at the dispensary that pushes the resins out.

how much longer look like 2-3 weeks from your pistols?

i have heard of icing....not sure how i would do that in soil though...i give em the last 3 days dark, with a huge nail driven throught the base of the stalk....
i am a sadist at the end:stoned:

i figured the pics were shitty the first time, and they STILL dont look quite like they do live....Ill try macro shots next time:thumbsup:
imagine if i threw a WR in there phat?!

with a huge nail driven throught the base of the stalk....

What's the theory behind this? Is this supposed to produce more resin since the plant is being stressed? And have you ever done a side by side comparison of nail driving and not driving nails?

[Weedhound]

I'd skip the nailing.

LOVELY buds Stealth. Opie is right though....the only way to really know is side by side.

Those buds fucking ROCK! :thumbsup:

[SnSstealth]

never did a comparison with w/out nial...just something i have always done, taught to me by an uncle who grew for YEARS, he did it to his outdoor plants...yeah opie, supposedly it stresses them into producing a lil more resin...dont know if it truely works, but it doesn't hurt either..we are only talking 3-4 days...
thanks WH!!

i have tryed different lighting and angles and no pic has ever done justice as to what the plant looks like in person so im sure they look much better in person.

i plan on getting a proc for my summer grows should really help with cooling cost since ill be having to bring my grow room indoors for temp purposes and maybe well get to see it on a white strain.

my buddy said he gets a five gallon bucket fills it with ice and a lil water and stirs it till it gets really cold and and flushes his soiless evry ten minutes or so just before he pulls, and it takes him about an hour, but he says the cold contricts the roots and forces out all the resins, says yuo can actually see it happen, i havnt tried it but plan to at next harvest.

Type compact sog with cfl in google then hit im feeling lucky it wont let me rep u so i give it to u this way. Figure if i post the link it will get removed.

lineage of strain :

Haze x NL#5 (Seed Bank 1988)....female was chosen for potency(That Bitch took 21 weeks to finish)
Hash Plant Pure(Seed Bank 1988).....Male with 1/4" nodes and Sisters with a 7 week finish
Jamaica II (89 trip) & III (90 Trip)
M48-Haze x Durban Poison (S.S.S.C.1991)
DJ Shorts Blueberry..... Male added by accident (and it was a good one)
C88 for weight
I'm almost done with her .....it's almost time to cube and make some seeds


I was wrong skunk was not the basis for the strain.
