Does anyone have any experience with (and insight on) the following strains? Just trying to make my grows as predictable as possible.

Bodega Bubblegum
Garlix
Dynamite Diesel
Blizzard Bush

Just wondering if anyone has any information (other than the descriptions on Greenpoint's website) in terms of yield size, flowering time, susceptibility to pests, feeding, etc... anything you could let me know in order to save me some time and effort dialing them in.
All of those will tend to seem that they will keep throwing pistils. The stardawg male Gu uses to breed with has been known to cause strains to continue to throw new pistils long into flower. The B.B. is good strain. Theres a few grows on here of it. And they look tiptop. @mistermagoo has some pics of his Garlix a page back that looks phenomenal. Probably one of the best runs of garlix I've seen. Good luck on your grow.

I agree. I pulled my LVTK. She just wasnt looking good enough to hold half my tent up for 10 weeks. So I yanked her. Pulled a few clones to root and throw back in veg. May come back to it later. But as of right now. It isnt looking like itll be any time soon.
I am starting to think these are either hard strains to feminize or put into seed form, or something happened with these last seeds that Cannaventure did when breeding them. Lots of people having issues with the plants from the LVTK and Raspberry seeds given out. Some good ones here and there, but very poor consistency.

The poor man's way of doing this safely is to extract with butane, then when I have that extraction, I do another run inside food grade ethanol. The particular one I use is called extractohol. That gets rid of any remaining butane
It's not the butane you need to worry about, it is the lubricants they use when they make the cans. There is no way to get that out without running a closed loop empty multiple times and recovering the same butane in order to leave the contaminants in the collection chamber to be cleaned out after each of those runs. IMO, homemade BHO is not worth smoking unknown oils and chemicals. Better to leave it to the pros, buy the proper equipment and become a pro, or try rosin or a straight ethanol extraction.

Mine was made outside as well, the first one was due to some bad advice that was given to me. I had a tank of compressed air that I was trying to blow through the glass tube to push out more butane. I guess dry enough air will make static no matter how humid or tropical your weather is. The second time, I don't know there was nothing but glass, pot, butane, and grass plus me. I just took it as the universe telling me this was a stupid way to go. So I stopped.
Sounds scary, I would have stopped after that as well. lol

This guy is old enough that I don't try to tear my face off with a hit or two. I also have feelings that there is a bit more to the desired effect than concentrate THC. Remembering the Wayback Machine, the '68 to '75 time have us some fabulous herb and much was heirloom landraces known by where they came from like Colubian or Panama or Thai or Chapala! And it seemed there were different tastes around than now. There was also a lot of brick weed junk. Actually smoked a lot of imported Hash in the Great Lakes States as it was everywhere and reasonable
I think there is a lot more to a good concentrate than just high THC. A good concentrate also has a good level of terpenes and other cannabinoids, the best have them in the same or close to same ratios as the dried flower would and are a true representation of the flower in a concentrated form. IMO, it isn't just about the high. I have never gotten taste even remotely comparable to smoking herb in any way than I do from a good dab. The wife is all about her herb though! haha

I'm growing bodega bubblegum now.

Rapid LED sell premade rails to put the heat sinks in.If you dont wanna go that route and make it yourself you can buy angled aluminum from lowes or Home depot or anywhere that sells it.The whole purpose of the DIY cob builds is to fit the footprint you wanna cover.
When i set mine up i took the square footage of the area 4x5 (20) square feet.I used this selection tool to select the wattage per cob and what drivers i needed.
http://ledgardener.com/cob-led-driver-selection-tool/
The goal is more cobs at less wattage for alot of light overlap.cobs are 120 degree beams so the more you have at lower wattages the more efficient.I dont really see the need to air cool LEDs honestly.for a 16 square feet you could go with 3 rows of 4 and put 6 35 - 38 volt cobs on an HLG 320 and drive them at 1400mA.
The vero D is 38.7 V X 1.4 amps giving you right at 650.16 cobs for a 4x4.Thats right around 40 watts per square foot. which is perfect IMO.
If you wanted to spend less money on the build you could get 8 of the same cobs and drive them at 2100mA with the same 320H drivers and only have to use 8.Less money on cobs and heatsinks but less coverage and less efficient.
Its worth the money to get more cobs and drive them softer.The amps you drive them at determines how many watts they are pushing.I could hook up 2100mA drivers to the cobs i already have and put 2500 watts over the 4x10 if i wanted to just by switching the drivers.
What's the cost for the 4x4 set up. I'm looking to do the same thing this fall.

If you buy the good butane it's not really a worry... you can check out the numbers on skunk Pharm research. Com.... i buy lucienne butane. made in europe, little to no ppm of contaminants....
might spring for a closed loop tho, been drooling over them for a while now!

cob setup is bout 800 to grand for 4x4...
qb is about 400 for a 4x4

i think im going quantum boards

Except for the worry of blowing yourself, your property, and your neighborhood up. And, I'm sorry but the difference between the highest testing (3.5ppm) is only 2.5x higher than the lowest (.66ppm). That's still plenty cause for concern IMO. Have you seen what the "mystery oil" looks like and what's in it? It is nasty shit. I honestly can see no justification for making homemade BHO in 2018 with Rosin and access to people who have the proper equipment.

I have to say without a doubt If gu puts anything with that star dawg ,purple punch is legit.i didnt like it at first but it is hands down the best smelling cannibas I've ever put my nose on,frosty as all get out and not fussy at all.im aure it's in the works at some point.
my only issue with the pp is its low thc content. i think the stardawg could boost it up though.

i have a press, still like bho better... gonna order a closed loop soon to save on tane tho for sure!
I personally prefer a good butane extraction as well. Unless you are doing fresh frozen iwe and then pressing that, I just don't think you can get the same quality from flower rosin as you do from BHO extraction of the same flowers. But, I just don't think that alone is worth the risk. If someone is willing to invest in a good closed loop and knows the science behind it, I can stand behind that all day!

best value vacs has pretty good deals!
I would double check other people's experiences first. These things run at very high pressures. I have heard of less than honorable companies selling equipment that isn't truly rated for the pressures involved. One example was a company told a purchaser that their equipment could be run with mixed gas. Turns out it can't and the added pressure of the mixed gas caused it to explode and shattered the guys' skull. Scary shit!

Yeah it seems most companies pressure test them 100 PSI I have met the guys from terpp extractors I might just hit them up...

An update for those inquiring, the yield on the Pure Raspberry Kush is pretty bad. Buds look very nice and smell good, but with todays genetics if you are growing for yield, do not waste your time. .......... Effects are worth it to me, but I will be looking to breed it to increase the yield.
That was my thinking when I tossed copper chem pollen all over one, and made some seeds. Coincidentally, far less seeds than everything else in the chuck, because of another tiny output of bud.

Unfortunately, my first test of cracking 8 seeds has produced nothing after 8 days [ @LubdaNugs ].

I just bought 6 of the QB360 for 45.00/pc. I run way more than 80 watts (120 to 150 watts) which requires a heatsink.
I love my COBS. Can't beat them.
Gonna add these QB360 boards to the mix
Electric bill is way cheaper by 1/2 with using COBs
It's all about your set up. Ether of them work great.
What are the QB360s? Are these new from HLG or something from Alibaba?

Have you guys had mag deficiencies with Copper Chem? I have 4 CC plants and 3 of them are HURTING for more mag. I have added some now and will see how they do.
