303

I run MH for the first part of flower. I've never done a scientific comparison but do feel like it reduces stretch. Bending will work wonders for you as well. I only have 36" from top of pot to bottom if light and have grown some super stretchy sativas in there. Just gotta bend and spin the plant around the pot. Look up "Crop Circle of Bud" on RIU to see what I mean. Hobbes was the grower and he had some good pictorials to explain the method.
what do you think the outcome would be if I ran a couple led panels beside the mh? would this defeat the purpose of running the mh to decrease stretch?

I don't have any experience with LED so can't comment specifically. In general, it seems like more light is better than less though. Especially if they are blue spectrum LED, I would guess it would help. That's pretty much straight up guessing though.

jet fuel took a little hit at the leaves, still haven't figured out wtf it was, possibly going from fluoro/led straight to 1kw mh.
Gonna start some peppers AND most importantly a nothing but 303 indica run! Flurry. nl5 monster, dank and a couple others that aren't on the 303 page anymore, webmaster removed shit before it was time! may have to write tech support but I think the other was rtd and shooting star. I want some of that columbine but figure hell I got the flo and the nl5 in the other 303 strains,why not breed my own? mainly skills but how hard can it be really :/
not sure if I'm fully covering the spectrum but after I throw this t5 (see photo) and a couple red and blue led shit should be smoking!

I ordered those from my hydro shop, they're actually aquarium/reef lights. the blue peaks at 454 nm, I have a couple 10000kelvin and I'm not sure what else really :/
so 6400 k and another than slips my mind,

I put the hortilux Blue in the hood on the mover, it says it's good for the entire cycle but I haven't seen any grows with anyone using nothing but the Blue in flower. I would however supplement the blue with either a couple LED panels of the 300 watt type OR a 600 watt with sunpulse 3K OR I could just switch the blue out to a hortilux super hps. and add (or not add) whatever. decisions decisions.

awesome, I'm gonna be trying some new shit this time, one is I'm gonna run a hortilux Blue mh the entire cycle and add some reds with the LED. although with that lamp it looks like it would be good on it's own.

a better shot(not much better) of the 303 stuff. jet fuel and aspen og. they'll soon be getting their own led panel OR 600 watt 3k sunpulse mh on their side of the room.

somebody took down some old 303 info on their website! I know I have like 5 different 303 indicas but not sure on a couple. I have flurry , g funk,303 aurora, dank #5 but I can't remember info on shooting star and RTD.
Looks like these ones will be taking a couple supercroppings :/
Remember, grow them big but not TOO big.

Damn can't wait to see that Aspen OG dbkick she's got some pretty amazing colors!!
dunno how it's gonna turn out, kinda harshed it in the beginning with temperature swings and then they got bigger and the air flow was real low , light penetration not that good(poor scheduling, they should have been out of that tent a couple weeks before I got to it) , so I moved them to the room and vegged for awhile longer under a 1kw hortilux blue(which seems to be a very nice lamp), now they're all super cropped and still almost in my light :/
The good thing I suppose is the light is on a mover , going to 2-600 watt lamps instead of 1kw next time. gonna try some sunpulse 3k metal halide lamps I think. that or probably one 3k mh and a hps of some sort.

Looking good dbkick. Isn't growing an adventure?

R.T.D. genetics are: [(Pre-98 Bubba Kush x Cinderella 99) x Blue Velvet] x [(Arcata Trainwreck x Super Silver Haze) x Pakistan Chitral Kush]

There was a bit too much variation in the F1 Ski Train polyhybrids for our liking. We're going to bring these back, but they're going to get worked a few generations until the pheno variation is down to 2-3 pheno's per strain or less.
