I got everything trimmed that I had drying and ended up with a little over 18 ounces from the 3 plants and another couple that are still on the plants.
The Cultiuanna light did a great job with even coverage and really good depth. The bud density on the Steve Lemme OG plants is top notch and they got really good trichome production under the Cultiuanna spectrum. I can't thank them enough for this great light and based on my experience with it so far, I'd recommend them for sure. I'll have it back up and running in a few months and hope to really take advantage of the power it has. I can see 1.5 gram's per watt being easy with a good canopy. Hope you're garden's are doing great. Here's a pic of my mountain and the haul.

That’s great! Nice haul! My plant is in its dry stage now. Only 4–5 days into it so it’ll be a little while. I’m probably looking at half of your haul, but it gives me something to shoot for next round. Probably going with a strawberry cough cross next.

Looks like you are up there in the middle of nowhere. My kinda place. No asshole neighbors. Great views and great fresh air. You are truly living the good life.

Just got these from DC Seed exchange plus these five purple skunk x AOG F2 ( Regular Seeds )

 

[OhNo555]

What are regular seeds? Does that mean you got to sex them? Could be males and females in pack?

Looks like some great choices. I love DC Seed Exchange.

Yup , they will have boys and girls I you're going to have to sex them once they're mature enough. Usually 4-6 weeks of veg will show.

Thanks never seen seeds say regular. Got 5 free so now I know they are photoperiod not autos. Have not grown any photoperiods since I got back into this cause I did not have a tent. Only growing in an open room in my house. I got a variety pack that came from ILGM with AK-47, Super Skunk, and Sour Diesel. Got 5 of each had a problem with first batch so they sent me a replacement order. I think their genetics are not stable grew three Super Skunk and had a 24”, 18”, and a 12” plant? What are your thoughts on the difference in heights Waiting on a/c infinity tent 4’x4’x80” that will be here in the next week. Got a smoking deal from Amazon for $143.00. Worried about light from window messing up the grow when I go to the flip 12/12. Not real sure about ILGM most places even high Times rate them in the top 3? What do you think about them and have you ever gotten seeds from them? The only reason I used them to begin with was I got $40.00 dollars off looked like a good deal but if they got problems then was not very smart tried to do my checking before I bought. What else can you do but try them.

 

[FirstCavApache64]

I've heard hit and miss opinions on ilgm as far as a seed bank. To be honest I've heard enough bad stuff to keep away personally but some people seem to do okay with them.
The plants being so different from each other can be strain related or the seeds are just not worked enough by the breeder to stabilize the line. Some variation is nice but in a tent I like to have consistency to help manage the canopy. Cutting clones from them and then running the clones can help out with that.
Congrats on the tent buy. That should help our a good bit for environmental control.

 

[OhNo555]

Thanks, will let you know when I am up and running again. Just finished that run of Super Skunk that is now curing in jars.

 

[OhNo555]

Try to weed out the bad seed places.

 

[DrDukePHD]

Thanks, it looks like nerve damage from my injury in the service so at least the Veterans Affairs folks will pay the bill. I'm chilling in the emergency room at UVA. I'm just upset it came before I could get my new 5x5 tent up and start the new run. The babies I have are looking rough so I might just take fresh clones and veg them over. View attachment 5231374

If you need someone to set up your tent, I'm your man FCA! Feel better brother & let me know, seriously it's no problem at all.

Man that's so cool of you! I had my son down here the last couple days and he was a big help. I got my whole room emptied out and I just have to assemble the tent and hang the light. My wife's off the next week to take care of me so she can help get it if we decide to do it this week. I got some sleep this morning for the first time in weeks and it was great. The Steve Lemme OG x White Cherry Truffle is really nice smoke for just having finished drying. It has a really nice balanced effect and a funky, skunky fruit smell I really like. Thank you again Duke, I'll let you know if I need a hand for sure.

Never tried cloning at all or may have but just did not know it was called that at all. How is it done? I have taken pieces off plant and put them in water to root or put them in soil after I cut them on a 45* angle dipped them in root toner to get them to grow and have had ok results. Please school me up or send me a link to a good article to help me.

 

[FirstCavApache64]

I'm in the process of bringing my plants in that I'm going to flower once I have my new 5x5 tent up. So far I have the Steve Lemme OG clone from the last run and a Purest Indica plant from Authentic Genetics. There's more on deck with BOG Seeds Sour Bubble and Sour Cindy waiting to show sex and more Purest Indica waiting for sex determination as well. I'm really excited to see these older school genetics and hopefully get some seeds out of the process as well. Here's the new generation.

 

[OhNo555]

Look really nice. Keep it going

Merry Christmas everybody and I wish you a great New Year full of happy plants. Hope everyone survived this cold snap/snow storm ok. We got down to 6 degrees F the other night which is really cold for us up here. Saw others that really took a hit from it up North. I'm ready for spring now lol.

Merry Christmas! It’s freezing here we have been in the negatives and I’m definitely feeling it lol
I’m ready too.

Yeah got to the teens a few nights in my neighborhood. Mother in-law had a problem with her heat but, but wife found a guy by accident on Christmas Day to come out and fix it for $230. Parts and Labor and he and his son were there for about 3 1/2 hours was a blessing! He really saved her holiday. We were truly very lucky. We give a lot of money to charities though the year and volunteer to help when we can. Guess all good really does come back to you. Hope you had a great Christmas and you have a good new year. Keep in touch always nice to hear from you.

I'm a big believer in when you do good for others it comes back to you. Glad it got sorted out. Our central heat went out last week so I'm using a kerosene heater and a space heater to keep from freezing until I can get somebody out here. It was 58 in the tent this morning and the babies are not happy. Have a great New Year's day.
