Cannaventure seeds thread

[growslut]

Placed an order for 4 packs and Rusty included a freebie--hasn't arrived yet so excited to see what's coming!

Rusty also offered to replace a pack of Pure Animal and Triple Nova. He also included a long email loaded with grow advice. After I wrote him back, I realized it took 30 mins to write, and that my email was roughly the same length as Rusty's. Dude spent real time trying to help. And it was all solid advice (mostly about methods to keep the heat down during a grow). I can't say how much that means. Like others have said, Rusty really is a solid dude and I plan on supporting him more in the future.

As for the CV gear, I've mentioned it in the GPS thread but it deserves saying here too that Half & Half is a stellar strain. Did awesome outdoors this year. No rot and the only outdoor plant without WPM. And the rosin after harvest is some of my favorite rosin of all time. I also love Tenn Kush 1 & 2, Pure Raspberry Kush (it does have small yields but the flavor and effect are top notch), Cookie Wreck is another that keeps getting grown, and, of course, like others have mentioned LVTK is delicious.

Agreed, Rusty shot me a couple of long emails and was very encouraging and supportive to me. Says a lot and definitely gained my full support. He also let me know the arcata doesnt like heat so gotta keep them flower room temps down.

If you havent stopped by and scored a pack of CV gear then by all means do it folks! Youll be glad you did and if you got concerns dont be afraid to reach out to Rusty. Solid dude

Damn. My tents run hot. I run LED and read some research saying that plants prefer higher temps with LED's. So I stopped stressing the heat in my tents (which can get into the low 90's in the summer). But I still have problems with hermies.

I'm also puzzled about the heat because the outdoor temps hit 117 this year--and spent a month straight above 100+ degrees, and the outdoor plants never even wilted. So I figured the tent could handle 90 degrees.. Anyone else run it hot?

@ thenotsoesoteric i also ordered the arcada. Can you tell me what kind of heat range Rusty was talking about.

Rusty mentioned to me that he keeps his grow area temp at 75 with lights on and 65 lights off

sounds like a winter time strain then.. my shits be low 80s all summer

 

[Bodyne]

even with stellar air movement and air cond. in a tent, jme ive noticed anything higher than 85, especially in flower, seems to inhibit the bud density and also seems to kick the plant a lil, aka slow it down. Just my experience. I'd rather run em cooler than hotter, old days thought they'd like it tropical like, lol, now i think they like it a tad cooler.

Spectrum King has a LED heat and humidity chart. My canopy with Vero 29's is about 86 degrees and the top of my heatsinks are about 95 to 100 degrees F.
Winter, I rigged up a CO2 generator that runs on Propane. It put a little bit of heat in the room.
Tents are tough. I always got PM in a tent. lol

 

[thenotsoesoteric]

He didn't give a temp range. He said that the Arcata my present some issues in hot flower rooms so I'm guessing anything over 85 ish? I think @Bodyne has it about right.

My personal experience with this type of heat sensitive plant was my old cut of blueberry. I was a beginner back when I ordered them in 2002 and when we popped them it was fall in upper Illinois and our first run was in winter time. That shit was the fucking cats pajamas, the bees knees, the butter baby... then summer rolled around. The weed went from white with resin and tasting like grape jelly to hemp. It also didn't help I was running them in an Emily's garden style hydro.

I had a 400w hps crammed into a 3'x4'x4' space with no exhaust. I think temps were over 100 degrees some nights, lol. I kept asking myself "what is the deal? Is it too hot?" lmao

But for you cats wondering I think staying in the low mid 80s at canopy level should be cool, anything over that and you might see less trich production and flavors might not be quite as sweet.

I've noticed that with outdoor as well. I think those 100+ temps are more a problem in mid to late flower but veg and early flower no probs.

It's about the humidity at higher temps. The plant can't "perspire" ? 78 to 85 is the "sweet spot" in my opinion.

Yes sir!

The crazy thing is I had a pheno of Ice by nirvana back in 2007-09 that was able to handle 90+ degree flower room temps and still give top notch smoke. Every other plant in the rooms would be hurting but the ice wouldn't flinch. I definitely regret not crossing that girl because she had yield, taste, potency, never once had bud mold and could stand the heat.

When i was using blackdog led's they recommended air temp of 85. I was never comfortable running that high. Not sure if i will be able to get temps down to 75 with my set up.I think they like the same temperature as we do.

That strain still had more of its "plant esters" still in its lineage. Pot today has lost most of their resistance to disease and pests and climate. When I was growing around 2004, I never had any problems out of the strains(Skunk) with disease or pest. Kevin Jodey? has some good info on the old strains, especially the old Skunk strains.
And Nirvana is a good seed company. Been around forever.

You want to try and get your LEDs about 10 degrees difference between canopy and at light.

 

[slow drawl]

Man I can't remember so much sun in the middle of October. Both of the outdoor girls are clouding up quickly this last week. With another week of sun I'm gonna have a healthy robust harvest, I'm so F'n happy..

 

[CAPT CHESAPEAKE]

Wow great pictures. Looks like you will be set for winter.

 

[Stiickygreen]

wow those look nice.

Same thing happened here slow. Seriously nice "Fall". Making it til Oct 5th here is very good. I learned TONS this season about the cold ending.....mostly...DON'T STRESS. My big girls got hit with a week of 35F temps at night....and a few 32F nights as well. Not a single problem. The little clones i had out went 10 days longer...2 weeks of nighttime lows in the 32-37F range. Not problem. They frosted up...the hairs reddened up....didn't phase em. What I learned is that I've always been too cautious...LOL.... from here on out....unless the forecast is for HIGH in the 30's and EXTENDED freezing temps....I'm gonna loose the worry.

Seedlings on the tent grow are breaking ground. CVS strains are LA Affie and Cheap Thrills. The others are California Cherries S-1 from Dusted Bud..."Tally Mon" from Oni Seed Co....and Scarlett Johanssen from Honest. I keep buying seeds....LOL....even though....

I also wet some VERY old stuff. We will see if they germ. Some of this is 15 years old.... Reeferman's "Asia Girl" (in a 50 count "Breeder (coin) pack that is from Heaven's Stairway....Reef's "King's Cross" indica....NCGA "Blue widow" (a very popular strain back in the day in my circle)...Dman Kali Mist x Bubblegum...and Kali Mist x Star Gazer....California Orange x Superskunk...Super Silver Haze BX...."Muggles" from 3 Little Birds....and a Killer queen x Aloha White widow X Black widow. Time will tell

I hate the regs...but it's well past due time to try to give these...and a few of the thousands of other seeds I have...some LOVE. We will see if anyone wants to play. Doubtful i'll take clones...but maybe something tasty will pop it's head up. i can always reveg if something is grail-like....

the tent will be a new animal for me. Should be fun....even with the regs...LOL. I may end up buying a second tent to do the old stuff in. Again...we will see if I get much to germ/etc.

 

[SensiPuff]

My big healthy girls made it a few nights at 27 degrees this year but had to be pulled for a 23 degree hard freeze. Sucks cause after that there was 2 or 3 weeks of prime sun and growing conditions.
Regardless they can withstand cooler temps than most think.. it really packs on frost too
