Lighting El Samurai's Do Jo

[zepherlight]

Here's the pics I was able to get of phone. Only have two of sbr and and a few ofthe trans siberian that's all into the lights. The main cola on rose is in the back right and is growing up beside the light now. I didn't want to burn it so I'm gonna let it go up beside it. The first two are rose. Wish I had better pics. Still working on it. sbr on right in tent pic and you can see how crazy the other one is.

holy sh*t zeph! you sure got it going on in that tent. a real jungle lol. and the photos aint bad at all.nice fat ladys to boot. I'll try and get some new ones of the SBR and the others. my SBR doesn't seem as bushy as yours. more lanky. I think I might chop the top 1/3 this weekend and let the bottom buds go a little longer as they are still quite green.

Tks Yea the top ones are looking closer to done than the lower. She still has good light penetration but the lower are developing slower. Some have incredible frost and others just average. Kinda strange since its not always in the light and still super frosty. I'm really really getting impatient lol. Happy Growing

well I couldn't take it anymore lol. I took the whole thing down.76 days, mostly cloudy at the bottom and about 20-30% amber up top, tall and wide. 178g wet should come out to 40- 45 g dry. not a record haul but a very dense and funky girl.
I also planted straight to soil 1 each of Dinafem Critical Jack Auto, Dinafem Sour Diesel and an Auto Seeds Chemdog since I'm running the lights anyway for the chip bag HBSS already in the works. all 3 came up yesterday in some form or the other. the CJ seems like the fast start of the bunch. I put all 3 of them in my 6x6 in k-mart clearance pots for some perverse reason. (trying to keep them on the short side. thinking about the Faded FIM) all 3 are in Sunshine Mix #4 treated with some Alpha-thrive root stimulator that my gal at the garden center gave me as it was a few days out of date. she cant sell it so what the hell, I'm always up for the freebies. this stuff is just mycos and bennys and says all natural, except in California. what? is there some kind of magic force field along the Cali border that causes this change? lol jk. I will be using up my Fox Farms Trio on these with the Beastie Blooms and Cha-ching then about 3 weeks or so go to the Dr. Earths Flower Girl for a week and then a cleansing flush. (stole this idea from Trapper) maybe get the best of both worlds. but they shouldn't need anything for a while as I added some EWC to the bottom 1/2 of the pots. anyway, heres some pics

Awh man I wish I heard about the chip bag before all out of auto seeds for now. That sbr looks mouth watering mmm and you chipbag plant looks great! I was almost up your way yesterday had a buddy come down from Iowa and his car broke down right he hit two lanes on the interstate. But we got him and his family home safe and sound I hope you have a happy fourth buddy and be safe!

hey brother. the SBR is a real stinker now that I chopped her. yea, gotta stay on top of things as far as the grow offs are concerned. I've missed out on so many its kinda sad LOL. glad your friend made out o.k. you have a safe 4th also.

Hey how was the density of your buds? Mine seem a little fluffy. I've had a ph problem for about 2 week's and I can't tell if that is effecting the bud density or if it's genetic. Still getting a lot of new growth on the tops but not so much on middle and down. Trichromes starting to get cloudy and I'm hoping it will thicken up some more before it has to come down. That smell is incredible. Happy Growing

just a little update and a failed experiment.
@zepherlight , the bud seems a little fluffy now at 65rh in the jar. kinda skinny long buds. dry weight of 40g. for her size I figured she should put out 60 or better but dealing with high temps and less than ideal conditions is probably to blame. my fault.

on to an experiment with a peltier cooler. I got this thing with a dc power supply for $30 usd shipped. way too small for what I need it to do, but it does work. it cooled a 12x12x12 cardboard box from 82f to 73f in just a few minutes .i"m going to look into this further. we'll see. but heres a pic of it and a few of the sprouts. Dinafem Sour D and CJH and Auto Chemdog

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
