Yea, she's a stretcher all right. Got to be some heavy sativa genetics in there somewhere among the Chemsis, Sour Dubb, and Chocolate Diesel. Someone made the assertion that the Gorilla may not develop large, heavy top colas. I took a picture yesterday (sorry for HPS lighting). These plants are...

Skywalker, aka "Sativa Kush." 90%+ sativa dominant clone only.

Took another shot of the Skywalker yesterday. Didn't have time to wait until lights out, sorry. My phone camera has a narrow depth of field so often the shot is focused in some areas and not so focused in other areas. In this particular shot the focus is on the top of the bud and shows the...

Here's a shot of a fat bottom girl for ya'. On of our Skywalkers at week six. Fattening up nicely. Notice the three-leaf trait? Might also spot some single blades in there. Funny huh? This is one of the strongest and most popular strains we've ever grown. A patient favorite for the ability to...

Thanks for the heads up. Looking forward to that side-by-side. We're running a small test room of the Gorilla Glue #4 now. Sourced from a trusted grower up North. Never got anything from him that isn't the real deal. Said this one was the very elusive #4 from JW himself. We really liked the...

Words matter. Punctuation helps. If you had used "annuals and perennials" in your original reply and included a period to separate two run on sentences near the end of your post its meaning would have been much more clear. But what came across was a snarky "if you'd grown more than a few cycles"...

Thanks for the scientific explanation and extensive references... :finger:

We've run this particular strain of Skywalker for over 12 years now and probably 60-70 cycles. I'd respectfully submit that over a decade of direct experience might be enough to develop an informed opinion based on facts. The strain has not lost one tiny little bit of its vigor. If anything it's...

Make a few "drying boxes" from super cheap materials. You can stack them in the small space that you have. In our experience each box will hold about 150-200 grams of buds, depending on strain. Here's a link to a post I made sometime back that explains it all. Easy and cheap, works very well and...

Our experience differs. Early on we had problems with a few of our mothers. We failed to rescue one or two and others we nursed back to vigor. A great example is our Super Lemon Haze. Damn near lost that girl a few years ago. Stupid mistake by a new budtender almost drowned her. Was touch and go...

Why heck, I've often wondered why not take off every single branch except one? And while you're at it pull off those useless leaves that are preventing critical light from getting to those bottom colas. Then you'd have as much "energy" as possible going to single huge, giant, enormous...

Yes, but... 1) the compressor emits lots of warm air. If your basement or attic is not well ventilated there may be a problem with heat buildup. I've seen some small warehouse grows with interior buildouts and the compressors on top. I've know at least two of the operations that had problems...

Thanks for your opinion. Have you ever grown Skywalker or the "original OG Kush" strain like that in the picture I posted above? 420 Magazine forum had an excellent thread on the strain -...

No, we run 3100k full-spectrum Phillips bulbs. The 4100k bulbs did not perform as well for us. The plants seem to love that full spectrum of the 3100k, it's the most like Ma Nature. Also heard the DE (which is actually not a double-ended LEC but a twin bulb unit) has problems with hot spots, but...

Footprint is smaller than a 1000w HPS. We try not to exceed 4' x 4' with the LEC's. Remember we're cloning and vegging so the dense light saturation is not quite as necessary as when powering through flower. Important still, particularly for strong vegetative growth, but foot print has not been...

Sweet spot is right at 9 weeks. If we go 10-11 weeks the stuff just gets too damn racy. You'd think it would get some amber trichomes and lose some of the raciness but this is an almost pure sativa. It just keeps going... and going... and going... and it does what we call "bubbling up." Turns...

We have used all the different lights mentioned in this thread over the past several years. Then we picked up one of the Sunlight Systems 315w Light Emitting Ceramic (LEC) to experiment with. Set it in a small veg room and threw a few Super Lemon Haze mothers under it. Over the next several...

Our Skywalker (originally called "Sativa Kush") displays the three leaf trait. When starting in veg she sometimes throws a single leaf. They are voracious feeders that take ridiculous ppms (1800-2500) and love it. We've deliberately tested the high ppms on this strain but typically don't run...

Yea, in the beginning we were of that mind; however, we've learned a lot in the last decade or so. On the surface it might seem that trimming wet is easier, but if you try dry trimming you might learn the same things we did. Better end result by far. And an overall easier process. Before...

Nice work on the buds. I see a little PK burn on the leaves but good color retention, fillout and trichome development. Are you trimming before chopping? Wow, that must be a lot of work. Respectfully on the trim - they need to be cleaned up a bit to make top shelf in today's market. Prices have...
