Calyx's instead of sugar leaves? Other? Thx.Most people check their trichomes but are looking at the sugar leaves which is not correct. Also shade the bud your looking at as some times the trichomes look white and in reality what your seeing is the lights being reflected which is more noticeable under hps and burple led. Also agree with hillbill on this.
Aloha dude, they’re lookin in great shape and just about ready to start dripping!Its aloha friday here, hope you're havin' a good start to the weekend...
The smell seems to be evolving, predominately overripe tropicalness, pineapple seems to stand out the most, there is now a sense of cheese?funk....undertone. There have been times i check my socks wondering wtf.
EC is now @ 2.2 (1050ppm) and runoff @ 1.5 (750ppm)
Wish i had the usb one...maybe someday/ thx againWatching the thread, good stuff.
I just got a $16 USB microscope off ebay. You should try one. Makes it really easy...I remember how much of a pain it is with a loupe.
Those are some of the best pic's I have ever seen taken through a loupe! Looks like you are getting close! I see a couple heads are starting to look cloudy. It seems many people have their own preference for when they like to pull. what is your desired ratio of clear to milky to amber?Darn near impossible to hold her steady for photos, parden the blurs, I'll try again tomorrow
ty kindly A, great choice on the lights, you're gonna luv them. I'm gonna taken um till all cloudy and just a smidgen of amber, almost there (its a cheapy microscope)Those are some of the best pic's I have ever seen taken through a loupe!

You are amazing, thank you for taking time time to type out that super thorough reply! That all sounds exactly in line with what I was thinking would work best for me. Hope you see emulation as a sincere form of flattery because I'm copying your ass.ty kindly A, great choice on the lights, you're gonna luv them.

Your space is same of mine, you could push almost 500w with that driver if you wanted, way overkill from what im seeing. @350w and 10-12" high over the canopy you can expect 45w per sq feet, 65,000 lux @ 900-950ppfd...any higher i got stressed tops, but if you dial in all variables you could push it further..
for your setup it would be more than enough power, then you can dim up and down and adjust throught the grow
the driver is mounted just outside the tent attatched to the wall, all cords run thru the tent vent holes
highly recommend the 480h. I built the setup to run the driver at 50-75% so it would run cool. If you max the drivers they get really hot! something im dealing with my qb's in my veg tent.
If i was to do it again, i would get the A verision of that driver (480h-24A i believe), it lets you adjust voltage also...
Best of luck to ya, lemme know if ya start a journal.
Back up the truck...Day 62
Almost there, will get out the microscope tonight and check trichs again. Smell is absolutely heavenly...like a mixed blend of sweet n sour exotic fruit in an alcoholic cocktail...
