Thanks man, I know - I am trying to sell my 250 soon and get a cool tubed 4 or 6 if the tent can handle it. When you get your seeds, you should journal your grow...How's your set up?

The OG is extremely tasty and smelly. Real dense buds and a great smoke. I like it alot, but early signs of the Blue Widow are looking better surprisingly. But its like comparing Peyton and Brady - both amazing.
Picture of a small nug of BW attached. Can't find a great zoom for the crystals, but heres my attempt.
Yes, use your CFL's during flowering in my opinion. I like the different light spectrum and color of the CFL's to be added to the more yellow/orange warm light of the HPS.

Lowes Hardware
Its in a yellow box (old ones are in blue one)
300 watt CFL from Bright Effects
Part # to order online or in store - 046931 (lowes)
And heres a rip-off version. I wouldn't settle for less than the bright effects though. Its only like $18 and its amazing. I am using 4 right now for 3 veggin babies.

Lowryder Auto AK47
-Grew to completion in about 10 weeks which is within the range that the website described. They are very fluffy and airy but were full of crystals all over. Tallest was 23" and shortest was 18". Smell was controllable during all stages of growth with a carbon filter but the real stank came when cut down and dried/cured. The buds smelled like fruity gum after curing and while smoking. Got great reports from other smokers about the AK crop including fast body buzz, concentrated head high for long time following the buzz, and an overall uplifting smoke.
Dinafem Blue Widow
-This plant was under an HPS for its whole life, so it obviously stretched more than our CFL veg'd plants, but still produced very well. It did also produce the dankest bud in smell, density, and smoke out of the 3 strains grown. It had many Eighth size nugs that people thought were only grams or teenths at first glance because of the density. Crystals were all over the plant, giving us the opportunity to make hash with all the clippings and get a good amount of material. Smoked so smoothly and taste very very good. It has a blue tint throughout the bud and you can taste that blueberry in it for sure. Smoke gives you a debilitating head high and body buzz for quite some time. I can go to class or whatever but I'm totally ineffective which is great! We also eat all possible food soon after smoking this one. Good times!
OG Kush
-So this was my favorite plant during growth because it looked soo good and had those 6 colas that were just enormous and it produced the most of all the plants. It came out extremely hard and dense as well but not quite on the rock hard level of the widow. Great crystals on this one too as you can see in the pics. Smoked very smoothly as the others did but this one had a distinct lemony flavor compared to the other's fruity ones. This was also a snacker late at night, but thats if you didn't fall asleep first. Hard hitter in that respect. I like to think I smoke a good bit and this one put me to sleep any time of the day!
Hope you enjoyed my stealth grow-which was certainly successful in that regard as well as dank production IMO. Leave any comments or questions about the grow, setup, or techniques I use and I'll be glad to answer or respond to them. (All my techniques were learned right here on ROLLITUP-the important part is finding the right ones for your growing situation.)
I have started the following feminized seeds:
Pineapple Express - unknown Genetics, dank results every time
Barney's Farm - LSD - great indica plant that is 24% THC. Coming from Barney's Farm and a claim of 24% THC is worth pursuing.
Barney's Farm - G13 Haze - This plant looks incredible and has won many cannabis cup awards among other things. Real excited for this one!
2nd Tent Started Seeds:
Barney's Farm - LSD
Barney's Farm - Red Dragon - Very high THC content and supposed to be a high yielder of some funk.
Barney's Farm - Blue Cheese - Look this one up if you are seed shopping. VERY dank plant. Heavy yielder as well.
I will post some pictures in here throughout major stages of the plants' lives, but am not doing a full journal this time. Once again, thanks for stopping by and most importantly happy smoking.
