@honest hey man is the blueberry lollipop fem or regs?
They are regs, I only have two or three packs left of it since it’s a super limited release. Those are amazing! The male I used on that drop was about four years of work between starting with the F1 and making my way to hybrids with the F3 male. If you have interest hit me up on my email :)

what happens if you break the law and don't use those higher temps and let your temps sit under 68 but over 60
You’ll have much tighter internodes running that low, also less internodes overall. A couple nutritional deficiencies as well since the flow of hormones isn’t working as well and the plant pulls less food from the soil as a result. Purpling of the stems/leaves/buds is a normal plant reaction in that kind of climate as well. Also your yields will be lower and your buds will be denser. Whereas flowering in the 80’s you’re likely to suffer pistil burning, over stretching, more airy bud structures, dented resin heads(you can see it under a microscope), and increased mold susceptibility. There’s definitely a sweet spot for cannabis. But again this is for indoor terms when creating a perfect functioning artificial climate. There are ways to keep plants healthy in both the cold and heat while flowering outside. Boosting Manganese/boron/iron in the heat and silica/potassium boosting in the cold for instance will decrease quite a few natural shock factors outside. But indoors you’re kinda trying to do something unnatural and artificial in climate terms for the best possible results

A greenhouse picture of Sin City Kush F3 that I grew last fall. Same generation as the male I used to breed my hybrids. The flower and oil tasted like pure skittles candies :)
That flavor comes off in the hybrids quite strongly, especially in my strain Skittlez(Zkittlez x Sin City Kush F3) since both parents are Skittles flavored :blsmoke:

That all said, nothing will ever come close to the sun itself, especially if you’re between 3000-4000 ft above sea level where the red, blue, and UV spectrums are completely ideal for cannabis cultivation. With a climate controlled light deprivation greenhouse at that elevation you can surpass any indoor grow imaginable. But it requires true climate control which can get quite spendy depending on the season
Thanks for the info. Do you know of any links that show the different light spectrums @ differing altitudes like you describe above? I know about UV increasing 4% for every 1000 ft of elevation gain but haven't found any data about spectrums/etc.

Not that it matters...I am where I am. Here the UV is raging (7100 ft)....and the temps swing madly every day...up to 50 degrees at times. Between the heat....the low humidity...the rain/hail storms...it's never a dull event...that's for sure. We have to start em indoors and plop em out somewhere around the first of June...and try to finish em up mid-to late September. 95F days all Summer...nights about 55... and lows near freezing/frost levels early and late season.

Due to the fact that you can burn your face and freeze your ass off all at the same time here....Ms. Scarlett will need to have her coat, her sunscreen, and her bikini handy everyday! I was defintely glad to see her finish in 8-9 weeks because I like the smoke and think she will do well here and will finish before the weather takes a dive.

Basically the lower you are to sea level the higher the red spectrum is, and the higher up you go the more blue/UV the spectrum gets. In the 3000-4000’ above sea level zone there’s an intense spectrum of both red and blue and the UV spectrum creates excellent resin as well. The higher you go past 4000 you start losing the reds and thusly the flowers get less bulbous since they need the reds to truly fatten up. However plants veg like crazy higher up as well. Down low towards sea level the flowering is crazy but they don’t get the resin spike from the UV boost. I don’t know where a chart exists online but I remember the information being in one of my college textbooks. I know most truly potent landraces tend to be found in the 2000-5000ft above sea level zone as well, and it seems like the sweetest spot for the best of everything is around 3000-4000ft. Both in landrace terms as well as greenhouse growing terms.
I’m guessing you’re in Colorado? You can’t beat the potency they get there with that mile high UV spike!

I’m betting OOP #2 in the photos has the more wild terps. I tend to like the phenos in that line that purple up a tiny bit ;)
Enjoy all those, Scarlett Johansson has been a very loved strain in many gardens. I’m always amazed how many people run it round after round and that my brand isn’t more recognized for bringing that to the table since I’m the only person with the mother lol. All my Cookie Jar strains have crushed, I think I’ve used it as a mother more times than anything else at this point because I love her progeny so much

Yup...Colorado. Not Denver though. Couldn't pay me to move back to the city...any city.

The flowers here plump well under the high UV sunlight. Our drawback is TIME. The season is pretty damm short up here. No 2-3 month+ veg here like in CA...so our plants are typically not as large.
I own a greenhouse but don't grow weed in it. Talk about temperature swings.

Beautiful plants socaljoe. You can send cuts of that OOP anytime....:grin:

What? Not sure exactly what youre asking but if your lights on temp is under 68 with LED you will definitely notice slower growth because your plant wont be able to process the light properly.. Thats what the leaf temp is all about.. photosynthesis

:clap: Good shit Joe! Looks like Honest is bringin that heat! :weed:

Just a heads up to everyone, my current offerings including Scarlett Johansson, The Dessert, Chocolate Frosted Sherbert, Sin City Kush F3 crosses, etcetera are all going to be retired when I drop my new menu in April. So if there’s a current strain you’ve been eyeballing from me you have just slightly over a month before I officially discontinue it from sales and move on to my new menu :hump:

I have touched them, and that plant has been sensitive to something. That's only happening on one of the tops, so perhaps it's touching, maybe heat or light intensity.
Hairs redact early when the room is too hot usually. Other issues that cause that are touching the buds, lack of airflow, and pollination. But 90% of the time it’s heat related

That is the same girl that has the taco leaves...maybe she's just extra temp sensitive. Managed to get my temps hanging around 72/73 during lights on, so hopefully that will at least keep things from getting worse.

Here's some pics of the flower tent. Everything's getting frosty!

The labels on Oregon Orange Punch and Mint Choc Chip got confused so this is one or the other and looking impressive. Think this plant might produce the biggest yield. (The next two pics are same plant)

And Face Punch is a week behind Scarjo's flower time, but looks like it might finish quicker.

A lot of Face Punch phenos are done in 60 days, ScarJo’s tend to take more like 70 most of the time but they are very worth the wait :)
