My two cents on the htg set-up. I would not purchase another easy cool six, I would opt for a few more bucks and get the aero-flow? airo-flo? or however it's spelled, I'm not looking at the site. Two reasons, first off I think they emit too much heat and secondly for me they are too small. I have the luxury of not really being limited in space so I know now that I should have gone with bigger reflectors. A friend uses the aero-flo's? and you can pretty much put your hand next to his glass and it's barely warm. They work to remove the heat very well and their light spread is excellent. They work so well I'm constantly telling him to raise his lights and spread out the light. I keep telling him, you don't need your light eight inches from the top of your canopy.
Jig, the colombian gold is from world of seeds. A buddy purchased both the acapulco and colombian golds. I think his seed plant took ten weeks and he vegged them for four or six, I really don't know for sure about the vegging but I think it was six. He took some cuttings just for shits and giggles cause he had never tried to clone before, I got one of the cuttings and it finished in eight weeks. I took one cutting from it and it rooted and gave it to my buddy. He took four clones from that cutting and I just put mine into flower this past sunday after a couple of weeks of vegging. The clone I grew was way better than the mother. I'm sorry I got rid of it all and only kept about a quarter oz. The chocolopes have only been in jars for a couple of days so it's hard to give a true gauge of how it is but the colombian is blowing it away. I would have to say it's one of the top three strains for my own personal liking. Anyway his colombian is already super frosty, the clone from the clone and I'm curious to see what he yields from his one plant. The buds are not dense at all, at least mine weren't. The seed plant had fairly dense buds but not the clones so far. When you feel the buds you'll think wow, skimpy. I still got over four ounces dry and it was superb.
I'll get some pics up tonight of my gold and my next critical+kali mist. I supercropped the main stem of the kali and I'm lst'ing the gold. I'm slowly dismantling my screen and I'm trying to go perpetual.
Edit. I'm losing my manners, I apologize. Nice bud guys, we do have some damn good growers on this site.
Thank you all for sharing and caring, it's what makes this thread so special.
