Lighting El Samurai's Do Jo

[elsamurai]

Yea I'm getting close and they are still wispy. I think the ph problem I had probably hurt its final yield. It's always at the worst time to have something happen that it does lol. The cola and two side branches have really swollen up in the last few days and they are beautiful. Probably two jars out of those three. Really nice frost on them and fairly solid but most of the others are lighter size or smaller. I got a lot of other seeds to try but I will try to do this one again soon. Scroging is the way to go on this one and that's what I'll be doing from now on. The other is burnt up pretty bad but would have been exceptional if I had of known how big it was going to get and had acted accordingly. Live and learn. Lol gonna watch those plants too. I got a sour D bean too. Happy Growing

I think the most important thing is to have the next grow better than the last. and if you can fill a couple jars every time you're golden. I agree with the scrogging or at the very least, aggressive LST. and mine I believe sufferd from the heat AND lack of light due to having to run the lights on 1/2 power the last 3-4 weeks. exact opposite in the winter. both led's on full power with 4-6 cfl's on the side with lights on 24/0 to keep them warm lol. I do like that sourD. the last one I grew had a lovely citrus aroma and taste with a great high.

Yea I suffered with high heat last grow. Plus I found out this grow that mh runs hotter than a hps. Was able to keep temp at 81 but first time I tried the mh it ran up to 96. Plus I had cfls in with hps. Any that's why I switched to led. Lol. I'm gonna love the next grow after all I've learned this one. Already thinking of a redesigning of my set up so I can take advantage of this potential that I'm finding in hydroponics. I do kinda miss soil through. No garden this year breaks my heart but my health just won't allow it. Maybe next year. But this tent and my buddy's big grow keep me grinning anyway. The sour D sounds good. I may have to bump it up my list priority. I got too many seeds and keep changing my mind on what to do next. I need more space. Maybe a warehouse. Lol Happy Growing

for a personal grow, its hard to beat LED's. cheap to run and less heat. and upgrading. I'm always upgrading lol. gotta do something with all the $ I'm saving not buying street crap. too many seeds also and wanting more lol.

time for a quick update. they all are doing fine. a bit on the small side due to the 12/12 lights, but heat is my dick-tater. but with a surplus of beans I gotta run thru before I order more. oh woe is me LOL. a good problem to have. any way, temps 79-86f, RH 50-60 so all is good. and with prime flowertime it should be around September, I'll be able to pump up the lights. gave them some Big Bloom at 1/3 strength with some Alpha-Thrive. about a liquid oz 1/2 each. the CJ is the most vibrant so far but the SD and CD are not far behind

Hola, Hermano. yea, I figured I'd start one here as a continuous log of all the non-sponsored seed breeders. you never know,maybe somebody wants to grow the same thing but is unsure about a certain strain and perhaps my drivel will help them. and give me something to look back on. any way, good to have you stop by

 

[NekoSempai]

Nice! Sounds like a good idea to me my friend.
It will be fun to watch these different strains grow out. Cheers brother!

I do believe I subconsciously stole the idea from your tent adventures amongst others lol.

 

[NekoSempai]

Yea lol. I definitely stole the idea from others on here as well haha.
