960 watts LED, Apollo13, Medicine Man, OG Kush, White Russian, G13xHashplant, 3 more

[Senseimilla]

It's no problem as long as you've got a/c and/or proper venting

Hmmm, buds growing everyday, starting to show visible frost and a good amount of resin... and yet LEDs don't work...?

Just taking up a whole tub now...



Closer look at the night time crew now that they are going to be more prominently pictured soon!

Medicine Man #1 AKA Dr. Quinn, Medicine Woman -- she is a BEAST. Bigger than the apollos.



OG Kush #2 - AKA The Good Child -- she's so much healthier than her sister, and has turned into a real beast. Unfortunately, she wants to be a SOG plant sooooo bad... she refuses to be a bush.


White Russian -- Diminutive but just BEAUTIFUL. I am envisioning several nice long colas full of bud when she's done.

 

[Senseimilla]

Busy day taking care of the girls... watered the 3 biggest and several smaller ones.

Apollos doing fantastic. Buds still growing daily they are buds you can squeeze now (tho i haven't been)





Dr. Quinn medicine woman is forming buds, forming more than the apollos, and is ahead of them in time to form buds (closer to what i'm used to). I expect her to look like the apollos do now in about a week or so, especially since she got 50-50 veg/flower nutes today (she'll get 25% veg 75% flower next 2-3 weeks). I'll be posting lots of pics of her when the buds come in.

I've decided OG Kush has mag deficiency as do several others to a lesser extent (mainly the indica dominants, not so much the sativas). Treated it and several with cal-mag in their water. Despite her mag deficiency OG Kush is developing some frosty looking little nugs -- she is not going to yield much due to her size and health issues, but it definitely looks like what she does produce is going to be some primo shit. Hope OGK #2 which is soooo much healthier produces some nice buds -- it is definitely going to produce a lot more.

I culled the two sickly Romulans - now have one that looks fantastic and is the most sativa plant in my cab.

Girlie watch:

Med Man #3 - 65% chance female - I'm gonna train and top this bitch like crazyyyy - topdressed with nearly 1" supersoil
Genius x DC sativa pheno - 65% chance male
Genius x DC indica pheno - too early to tell, one possibly female

Already female:
3 apollo clones, 1 romulan clone, and 1 sour kush - Sour kush I am thinking of putting in the 4 gallon airpot and topping/training/vegging it for the next month and a half into a MONSTER that could deliver some monster buds. She'll be nearly 3 months old by then.

I got a response from the guy at gotham about the 2012 240w blackstars -- here is what he said. Assuming I am at the low end of the wattage range, those LEDs should be putting out at least 540w of light usable to the plants minimum. So yields SHOULD be close to what a 600w would produce for 2 plants at the least.

The actual draw on a 240w UV is anywhere between 135w and 145w depending on the line. The breakdown of LEDs is as follows: 1 - 380nm, 8- 460, 68 - 630 and 660 (each diode is dual band), 1-730, 2 -12000k. The main modification in 2012 is the mix of viewing angles - it is now a combination of 60, 90 and 120 degrees. Also, the LED pattern has been modified a little to achieve better light uniformity and distribution.

I wonder if some of the penetration issues would be resolved in the same ways with CFLs -- hang LEDs around the plants as well -- of course how much would it cost to hang that many panels? Still less than buying the same quantity in weed at street prices At street prices my LEDs pay themselves back within a couple of months of not having to buy it from a dealer. No cheap dispensaries in texas.

way to stick it to the man sensi haha keep your money in your pockets!

 

[curly604]

i hear its price as hell down in tx too , how much you guys payin for a oz of highs? oh well i guess when its hard times you can rely on all that mexican brick flowing past you guys

 

[donindica]

i'm subbed. I have two BS 240w in 4x4 room,over two Blue Mystic fifth week of flower. You grow looks very good + reps

We pay twice the going rate of dispensary states, mostly for mid-grade bud. I am running out of my bulk purchase from cali and bought a quarter from my old dealer... stuff gave me really nice buzz first time, a bit of a nice buzz the 2nd, and after that it's exactly the same as the bud i've been smoking from cali for 6 months... that bud was great when I first got it and took several months for the tolerance to build up to where it is now. That's why I fucking can't stand it... it'd be different if the bud I got for $120/qtr was top grade -- it is not at all. It always looks good and smells decent, but the quality just is not there for the power of the high... it's probably fine for his lighter weight clients... I got a tolerance

I don't even know where to get mexican brick anymore... used to be all we ever got before the kind bud started flowing.

I grew blue mystic a few years back. You won't be disappointed unless you are looking for a super powerful knock your dick in the dirt strain. It's just good solid bud, nice yields, very relaxing buzz with a little body but not couchlocky... or at least that's how mine came out. Not potent enough for what I'm looking for now, although i'm sure if you grew enough seeds out you'd find a keeper... or if you're not a heavy smoker should be great hows your grow going you got pics?

Still waiting on my seeds Can't grow'em yet but I'd just like to have them in hand. Going to mail the rest of my Genius x Deep Chunk and greenhouse seeds to my friend in Cali when they do.

It is going to be hard waiting the next 6-7 weeks for these apollos to finish... especially with this shitty ass weed I got which is going to run out soon. Wish I had a kick ass hookup who got top grade shit at least I'd feel I was getting my money's worth. Looking forward to a limitless supply of the best bud ever -- that's how it was when I grew before and I think I've already progressed past where I left off in grow skills after about 3 or 4 weeks of getting back into the swing of things.

I may actually try to take a break from smoking when I run out so I don't spend a bunch of money on shitty weed -- and get some non-weed related shit done before my harvests start coming in I fear I won't be able to help myself and start taking off popcorn buds which is going to cost me yield. We'll see

 

[PSUAGRO.]

yeah your better off not smoking than buying brick weed.....girls look fantastic as of now.....how do the new airpots handle the watering?, I know they just revised them to make it easier in that sense...

be safe and happy growing...

 

[Senseimilla]

Mine leak very little extra water out the pot - how much they do depends on how careful you are it's about the same amount that runs out of pots with holes in the bottom though. I use a spray tho to water in relatively slowly so I don't waste water/nutes - i've also a couple of times put a bunch of water in the top at once and it didn't come out the sides. Every once in a while you will see it but not much. I'm liking them so far sure hope that '50% bigger fruit/flowers' claim is true, kind of doubt it. The strong root system development I think definitely makes some kind of airpot a good choice for people even if it's not these.

No close ups today just a picture of the girls in the cab. Still doing great may have to give them some kind of N boost as the fan leaves are starting to rapidly yellow the more P I am giving them

sweet beard of zues did you say 120/quarter !!!!!!!!!! fuck me running thats outrageous no wonder you grow your own , man i would go broke with how much i smoke i would have to take a fucking mortgage out on a pound of goods!!!! thats crazy man i feel for you going rate around vancouver 60 bucks for some fine kush , 50 for the jammies (jamaican) , anything lower than that and you dont want it and if you buy in bulk the prices go wayyyy down can get quarters of goods for 30 if you buy enough. you gotta get out of that crazy place haha no offense , i had a buddy move up here from tx guess what we called him ...... TEXAS! haha we got him so fucked up his first night up here canadian beer, canadian weed and canadian mdma had him going for days lol im blabbing now but anyway safe growing and i hope the cheapgoodweed fairy finds ya

 

[Senseimilla]

No shit curly because the weed is not all that potent (for a heavy smoker) I'm smoking like a half a week... so do the math on how much that costs Used to be the shit I got was pretty good quality and only smoked a quarter a week... I got my cali weed for $150/o!! The best I've ever done on an O here is $360 for stuff the guy wanted to get rid of... $400+ normally

Yes I am definitely planning to move sometime in the next year or two it's just a matter of saving up some money for that kind of move and then finding a new job and doing it... and of course having enough in stock to last me until my new grow is complete at the new place Looking at maybe Oregon they have the best laws here IMO on how much you can grow reasonably... CO/CA/WA are options too especially CO (family). Wife would probably be happiest in CA (weather). I've been to vancouver and it's a nice city too not sure how that would work But I get along well with Canadians Love a lot of things about texas but will be happy to leave both the heat and the ignorance behind.

 

[curly604]

good stuff man ya moving is the shits speacially long distance , oregon is really nice been down there a few times and have a couple buddies who live there very similar to van but our laws are even more slack CA would be nice i would want to live there but your guy's laws are fucked up sending people to long term jail sentances just for small weed possesion charges ..... not up here i dont think anyone goes to jail for possesion alone its just unheard of. the beaches and the bitches in cali though mmmm hmmm yes please van is nice but not hot enough and it seems like we only get 2 months of summer 3 max

 

[Senseimilla]

What are the laws in vancouver? Do they apply to foreign citizens living there?? Last I heard growing there was not decriminalized even if possession is. In Oregon I could get a medical card and grow and smoke essentially legally -- (still illegal federally but I won't be selling so chances of any problems with feds almost 0). Not sure when it is going to happen, but at some point some state is going to get it legalized... I hope CO or WA do it this year so I can move next year

 

[Voidling]

I hate the cold so much. With my love of gardening, moving north is no good.

Got friends in portland, love rubbing in my flourishing garden while they're still freezing.

Would love to try seattle for a couple of reasons.

 

[Senseimilla]

Seattle may be some place I have no choice but to look at due to employment... i'm a techie. Not sure how portland is for techie jobs.

I'm an indoor gardener -- I don't need seasons Though I'd love to have the ability to do some outdoor gardening too.

 

[PSUAGRO.]

Ah yes.......their is nothing like the taste of outdoor bud....god its instantly recognizable..
well cmh is a far second though...
Either way your girls are looking good....be safe and holy shit at them prices down there

what up sensi , ya the laws up here are the same you can apply for your license as well but its not just legal in the province its legal federally too , also i believe the figure is that 1 in 100 houses in BC either are or have been a grow op so blending in is not all that hard possesion charges dont really happen up here unless its large amounts and even then get a good lawyer and youll get a slap on the wrist but if your smart you can avoid it all together.

 

[curly604]

foreign citizens might have more trouble dont think the gov likes new comers fucking around too much

 

[Senseimilla]

Progressing slowly but surely... I wish they were bigger but I'm so impatient. I managed to be patient today and watered them with no nutes, but did give them a pre-emptive cal-mag shot, some EJ catalyst and molasses. They're yellowing a bit at the bottom probably because I've been giving them extra flower nutes. I shouldn't have to give'm nutes with super soil so I'm gonna try and have faith They got a good watering but even good waters seem to last them only a couple of days already.

So looks like I may have female issues agin. One of the Genius x Deep Chunks (the mutant) is female -- I am naming her Deepak Chunkra. The sativa pheno genius x deep chunk i am 95% sure is female (looks like it is pushing the hair out but it's not 100% clear). No idea on the other 2, but I don't have room for 2 more females.
