Blue Dream in Coco. 12x6, 2x1000 HPS

[InsaneMJ]

Im not using any pesticides anymore since I'm week 5 of flower. So that's out of the question. I never use pesticides once I'm past week 3. The buds start to get too developed and I feel like the pesticides burn out the plants potential. My veg garden I'll give it a shot once I'm out of the current pesticide. For mites I use plant vitality plus. One spray and their gone. Havent had mites in awhile.

For the black strain I think it was bc, not 100% on that thou. I saw it on attitudes and my buddy recommended it to me.

Watch out on there gear insane! Not saying to not run it! Just beware! Only order it on attitude do not order
From them direct! Theres to much bad feedback on there service. Also I put 10 beans in only three poped
And one of those was female, that was god bud though! But I hear thats a common thing with there gear!

 

[InsaneMJ]

That's why I've been kinda putting off buying strains for the moment. I keep on hearing mixed feedback. But IMO you kinda just gotta take the chances to get the genetics your looking for.

 

[hellraizer30]

This is true insane! But if your looking for a shure thing look to gage green genetics and tga subcool gear!
Cant go rong!

 

[InsaneMJ]

Yeah, when I do order seeds ill be mainly looking at Gage green, reserva privada, Cali connect, an then I may shop around after that. The og#18 is awesome under reserva privada. The medical shop near my house has been promising me a cut since 2 weeks ago. But still waiting :/

 

[InsaneMJ]

Hey I got a question HR, how high are your lights above your plants, I just raised my to 6 feet so their about 3 feet above the canopy, I did this for a better light spread. What's your opinion on light distances?

 

[hellraizer30]

I like them right at 70in high

 

[InsaneMJ]

I think I got my thousands at 72 right now it's about 6 feet up maybe alittle higher like 6 1/2. Do you notice a difference in yield with the closer or farther the distance?

 

[hellraizer30]

Running x6. 600 in a 10x10 area no theres enough like to go around

 

[InsaneMJ]

Lol, yeah that's true. I think I could use another thousand but I really wanna know my Max weight with 2x1000 then I wanna set up co2 I know I'll be easily pulling an extra lb

 

[InsaneMJ]

So the girls are swelling pretty nice. I'm going to start the molasses with the rescipe starting tomorrow. Every other day they'll get it until harvest. Last run I started week 6 but these girls look like they could use the carve like last week so I'ma start it. I notice When I start the molasses within a week they turn from sticky to gooey it's awesome I love it.

 

[InsaneMJ]

Since I got rid of the chem mother, the veg areas been going pretty nice. No sight of gnats, put up a fresh sticky trap just in case. I gave them a spraydown with the plant vitality also, just to kill anything that's living on the surface. I haven't ran anything in the soil yet to help kill anything off I don't want to hit them with another pesticide until I know there's more to get rid of

So my buddy's last harvest he went by the exact gas lamp technique. He was greatly disappointed by the outcome of his buds. His normal set up of 6 plants yielding around 1 1/2 p's, this run he was short by a full pound. I think it has in part to do with his water reduction techniques, along with the gas lamp technique. IMO the gas lamp technique isn't exactly the best because it say's after week two drop the light cycle by a half hour every two weeks. Now I haven't been doing that because I've never heard of anyone going under 12 hours. Also I've been kinda keeping this hush hush, but a week before I flip them I upped them from 13 hours for veg, to 16 hours right before the flip. I'ma post some side by side pictures of the blue dream on my last run compared to this run. Mind you the hydroponics is the same exact age as the coco. All the clones an mothers are sleeping and they look better with the light on so I'll wait to post pictures of those girls. Anywho, I won't be adjusting my light cycle strictly 12 12. But as far as bud formation and what not this time around I'm seeing larger buds and it was faster then the last run aswell. Also the gas lamp works as far as I'm concerned for vegging. I still think that you'd be safer off jumping up to atleast 16-18 hours a day, a week or 2 before the flip. Also kinda like a re-assurance thing so you don't pull hermies. My buddy never got seeds or anything. It's just better to be safe then sorry. Don't wanna stress out your girls too much before they're going to be packin on the weight. Also I'll be starting the tea tomorrow. I'll probably give it to them everyday until flush. Better roots, better plants.

View attachment 2044743<--- The bomb hash I made yesterday. Pulled in 40.69 grams out of alittle under 2 lb's of trim.
View attachment 2044744<--- This looked fuckin amazing so I had to post this. lol. Mind you the blue dream in the first picture is the same age as these girls.
View attachment 2044745<---- The og I recieved from a buddy. This is it's trial run, if it turns out bomb, the clones live. If not.... well I don't like to talk about what happens to bad strains lol. Lets just say their genetics don't go to far in my garden So far it looks bomb though.

Was that hash made with dry ice????

 

[InsaneMJ]

The dry ice method makes keif then you can compress it, you have to use water an ice. IMO this is better then the dry ice method. Also it's way better then blasting it with butane to make earwax, amber glass, or hashoil. Less dangerous obviously too. I've been hearing of people make co2 with co2 or oxygen. I'm still tryin to figure out how to do it that way.

Not sure what you mean by making co2 with co2 or oxygen? But I wouldnt use oxygen in any pure form as it quickly oxidizes THC, especially when the trichs have been ruptured, which any method of hash making will do

You guys go 72 inches from your plants with a 1000? that seems way too far away. I guess the spread is more even but that's a bit extreme. You mean above the canopy or above the ground?

I have my MH at 22inches from the canopy and no burns, but I hear HPS is much hotter... still 72 inches sounds a bit much
How much hotter than MH are the HPS?

 

[InsaneMJ]

No from the top of the canopy to the light is right around 36 inches. It was 32 inches above but I need better spread so I raised it. It's right about 6 feet and the plants are between 36-40 inches tall. So i do feel it's alittle high, but I need the spread. The reason why I've heard people using oxygen is cause liquid oxygen is in the negative degrees which is butane when you blast trim to make hash. So the concept is exactly the same but with oxygen you get less impurities because it's straight oxygen rather then butane which has more things in it. Thus you get more potent and higher quality product. If I had more lights I'd probably keep em at 28 inches because that's what I've always done and got good results. I'm just doing more numbers now.

 

[Thedillestpickle]

hmmm oxygen oil eh? sounds pretty nifty. So a similar result to honey oil?
Thinking about it again the oxygen probably wouldn't react so much with the THC in the short time frame mainly because it is at such a low temperature.
I've never heard of anyone measuring their lights from the ground up, seems confusing.

 

[InsaneMJ]

Lol, yeah the measurement was alittle odd but it works. As for the oil it comes out like earwax or hashoil. Idk the last time I've seen honey oil to be honest. I'm thinking we probably just call it differently lol.

I've only seen honey oil once, and from what I was told it is made from butane

It looks like honey and its thick and syrupy

Very potent but it felt like my lungs had collapsed after taking a hit
