    Lighting upgrade worth it in flower?

    All are valid measurements, some just have more validity than others. For two bulbs of the same spectrum, Lumens will be as accurate as anything else. Once you start comparing different spectrums, PAR or PPFD will be more accurate. Even with different spectrums however, Lumens is a good...

    Purple Haze & Pineapple Express

    Good to know. I've got one Hashberry/Lockdown mother right now but have been looking for a second mother. I tried the LSD but it's just too finicky. I took a clone of the PE about a month ago and am doing some topping/LST Training to get her in shape to be a mother plant.

    Lighting upgrade worth it in flower?

    Some people swear by cheap bulbs or changing bulbs every gro. I've been running the same bulb for 18 months so since I was throwing a new batch in the flower tent, I swapped in a new bulb. Trying a Ushio Opti-Red this time.

    Gave my plant the chop and finished the trimming with a spin trimmer.

    Thanks Nizza. I'm glad this grow is finished. I had a couple of girls waiting for the flower tent to free up.

    Purple Haze & Pineapple Express

    My timing was off on this one and I had to keep these two in my veg cab longer than I had planned on while I was waiting for the flower cab to free up. From the marketing materialG13 Labs – Purple Haze (feminized) – from seed http://g13labs.com/feminized-g13-labs-cannabis-seeds.html...

    Gave my plant the chop and finished the trimming with a spin trimmer.

    And more updates. So I checked the HBL this morning and humidity in the bag was right around 58% so I popped the bud in a jar and sealed the hygrometer inside to get a true reading. After a few hours, humidly leveled out at 72% so back into the paper bag with the top loosely clamped closed...

    Gave my plant the chop and finished the trimming with a spin trimmer.

    I don't usually weigh since I grow just for myself, my wife when she's in the mood or when friends come over but you made me curious. Right now the batch weighs 71g or 2.5 ounces. I'm guessing I'll lose ~20g still to drying. That would leave me at 50g or 1.75 ounces. Humidity was at 76%...

    Gave my plant the chop and finished the trimming with a spin trimmer.

    So I only had the bud on a drying rack for a day before putting them into the paper bag because I wanted to make sure they don't dry out too fast. I know some people who do all their drying in a paper bag but I think you're running too much of a risk for mold. If you dry them out too much...

    Gave my plant the chop and finished the trimming with a spin trimmer.

    Some very boring pictures. Cabinet read as 37% with nothing in it, 41% after I loaded the rack up last night and was at 56% when I opened the doors tonight. Buds aren't super large so I'm going to slow things down now a little bit. Dropped the bud in a brown paper grocery bag. Climbed to...

    Want to Know If Your Plants are Finished?

    If you grow feminized seeds then you're growing hermi beans, only way to get them. Commercial feminized seeds are created when using something like Colloidal Silver to cause the the plant to produce pollen. On a stress scale of 1-10, Colloidal Silver is around an 8 or a 9. Most people when...

    Want to Know If Your Plants are Finished?

    Ok, this was back in 2006 when I was on the old HG420 forum and The Doc was still selling seeds. I had purchased three feminized strains, White Rhino, New Purple Power and Hashberry. The Lockdown (also feminized) came as a free seed. I had two Hashberry and one Lockdown halfway through flower...

    My Hashberry/Lockdown cross has always been frosty. That's why I've kept this strain going for over 6 years. Very "Couch Lock". LSD is a good smoke too but much more of a "trippy" high. Sativa really shows. Great if you want your party to turn into a bunch of giggling stoners.
