400w Pineapple Express, Mastadon Kush, Grapefruit Krush, Big Band

sonar · Apr 23, 2013

So, I am 2 weeks into 12/12 and things are progressing nicely.

Lights - Started under T5, then to MH for a few weeks and now 400w HPS for flowering.
Medium - Pro-mix in 3 gallon bags.
Nutes - Using Dyna Gro for the first time. Usually a Botanicare guy.

Started out with 5 plants but chopped the weakest one a few days ago because things were getting too crammed. Vegged for almost a month. Bit too long for 5 plants in that space under a 400w. That's ok though I'd rather be in a position where I can cull one than not have enough.

Group Shot

Emerald Triangle Mastadon Kush - Super stalky and bushy.

Kannabia Big Bang. Topped. Freebie from like 2 years ago.

Emerald Triangle - Grapefruit Krush. 2nd time with this strain. 1st time indoors.

G13 Pinapple Express - topped. Probably the farthest along

Everything looks great. Wish I would've cloned my pineapple express..

sweet subb'd cant wait to see PE is my fav

sonar · Apr 23, 2013

Thanks guys. Yeah this is my 2nd time is PE. They were 2 freebie seeds from an Attitude promo last year. I'm very impressed with this strain. Thought it was a gimmick after the movie, but if this one lives up to my expectations I'm going to have to buy a pack and maybe look for a mom. Just don't have the space right now for keeping a mother in veg.

Grapefruit Krush is another winner. Probably one of the best tasting and smelling strains I've ever grown. Yield isn't huge, but it is certainly above average. As a matter of fact, I've run several Emerald Triangle strains and they've all been top notch.

Some new pics. Look terrible with the light in the background. Better close the door next time.

Looks like a missed a few updates. The girls are filling in quite nicely!

sonar · Apr 28, 2013

Yeah they seem to be moving along nicely. I'd say the PE is a fullest and farther along. GK stretched a little more than what I was expecting. If I run it again I am definitely topping it.

Another thing I'd like to mention is that I'm really liking Dyna Gro so far. These next couple weeks coming up is the most important time in a grow, at least where final yield is concerned. I like to try keeping them green and losing as few fan leaves as possible until the end.

Subbed my friend!

sonar · May 7, 2013

Hey thanks for stopping by. Going to try to get some new pics up later when the lights come on.

sonar · May 8, 2013

So I am a big fan of Emerald Triangle so far. Have a few pics of a Lost Coast OG I did last year outdoors I thought I'd share.

Oo S0uP oO · May 15, 2013

I like your strain choices all are solid as hell! Im gonna be running some G13 PE soon along with some Blue Venom Sannies Herijuana IBL and some extrema as well as keeping the Mastodon in the stable. Might try some Trans love as well for some clear day time smoke but only soo much room ya know? I also run the Dyna gro line and cant say enough about those guys. That Mastodon is one bushy girl though huh?

Thought I would post some new pics since it's been awhile. They are 38 days into flowering and looking good.

What hps you got going and how big is your grow area?

sonar · May 16, 2013

It is a 400w hps and a cheap 40"x40"x70" tent.

Kind of regretting no getting the 600w. The inline fan I have is like a jet engine and keeps the tent cool enough.

MrFowlio · May 16, 2013

shweet dude, they are looking good. would you know how to wire a capacitor, ignitor and ballast to the plug and light socket? :} haha
I have about the same size grow space and I'm using 400W HPS for plwer too, just can't get it to turn on...
Looks good though dude and remember, don't over do the nutes :}

Peace

MrFowlio · May 25, 2013

Don't worry about the question, got mine set up all good

How's the grow going dude?

sonar · May 30, 2013

Going pretty good. I apologize for not putting more time into this I know there are a few people interested in these strains. OK, so I'm day 53 of flowering I think. Pineapple Express and Big Band are the farthest along. I could pull those two now if I really wanted to, but I like them a bit more ripe. PE is probably going to be the biggest yield, but I'm excited for this Big Band. Very fruity. Almost like a overripe cantaloupe or melon smell to it. Hats off to Kannabia. This is the 3rd strain of theirs I've done and I've been very happy with all 3.

Mastadon Kush. I don't see anything on the buds, but the fan leaves toward the top are turning a bit purple

amgprb · May 30, 2013

Looks great brother! What kind of hood are you running? How far off the tops of your plants are your lights? I have a similar sized cab going now w/ a 400 hps, and by the pics, looks like you have a WAY better distribution of light then i do. Keep up the good work!
