Greenpoint seeds!!

One more question about LED QB and COB’s.

When it comes to power outages, are they safe to fire back up immediately (or do they even fire back up) if the power goes out and comes right back on?
Not sure how these drivers work in relation to power surges,outages, etc...

Right on, I was kind of leaning towards the Copper Chem x Orange Fruit Snax for my next run. Thought that would cross nicely with a FPOG leaning phenotype of Pebble Pusher I have.

So how would you rate Pebble Pusher so far . Growth, stretch, flowering speed, frosty, leaf to bud ratio, smell . . . Got 6 going . . . 1" tall

Growth has been vigorous. Stretch was about 2-2.5 times. They, as with all the GPS strains I’ve grown, are very frosty. Leaf to bud ratio seems good. The smells vary quite a bit. #1 is limey sweet, #2 is pure Chem funk, burnt rubber acrid industrial cleaners, #3 is hard to pin down kind of sweet baked goods right now, and #4 is pure lemony cleaner/ pinesol goodness.

Sounds tasty. I've got a couple of seedlings of CC x OFS, x XXX, x dolato, and x nyc diesel all started, but the overall germ rates on those have been sub par.

Oddly, the copper orgis were 10 for 10 from the same chuck. Looks like 2 of the 5 I kept are shirleys.

That is some serious variety! And I think you have a better and more descriptive sense of smell than I do. LOL.

That was my thinking when I tossed copper chem pollen all over one, and made some seeds. Coincidentally, far less seeds than everything else in the chuck, because of another tiny output of bud.

Unfortunately, my first test of cracking 8 seeds has produced nothing after 8 days [ @LubdaNugs ].

Ya I am quite surprised and not in a good way. Yield is usually not an issue at all, but this is. I thought when I was doing organic soil and I limed the shit out of them that that was the reason for the poor performance. But wow now seeing while it was a poor-er run, it wasn't as far off as I thought. This run the plant has been healthy too, just sitting there though.

All of those will tend to seem that they will keep throwing pistils. The stardawg male Gu uses to breed with has been known to cause strains to continue to throw new pistils long into flower. The B.B. is good strain. Theres a few grows on here of it. And they look tiptop. @mistermagoo has some pics of his Garlix a page back that looks phenomenal. Probably one of the best runs of garlix I've seen. Good luck on your grow.

What's the smell like on the garlix? looks delicious!

I bought mine on ebay. 360 pcs. 3000k. Company is Atreum lighting in USA.

You can fire right back up.

Yeah they light back up instantly pretty much too. Already had to deal with that a few times.

Just my 2 cents but for $25 more you can have the latest Samsung LM301B and support a US based company and family that does their best to keep as much production and assembly as possible in the USA. I am one of the early adopters of QBs and thankful for HLG for proving the naysayser wrong with these lights. I stick behind them and their product and so do they.

It has been very muted up until now, you would have to molest her with your fingers to get a hint and it would be a muted stardawg

In these last weeks as the color comes out I’m getting earthy, muted chem, some pine maybe there ... starting to dank it up now we shall see

Didn’t stretch at all this pheno, very indica Dom leaf sets that didn’t get big themselves

I just fill the buckets and make sure the lights come on. One of the easiest runs I have personally had, about 10 days left.

Nice rhyme, will totally steal it when I feel cocky someday.

Hey buddy i know your knowledge is good shit so I wanted you to take a look at my page I posted. I have some bug problems and there are 2 soil type bugs in there. Ones looking like transparent brown little ticks and long white ones I have a viedo if you want to see it please get back to me. If anyone wants to take a guess look at link

Question for some of the LED-heads, anyone have any experience with HLG300 qb’s or something equivalent?
Are COB’s the way to go? Curious if the qb’s are as awesome as the cob’s that everyone speaks of.

I have used crappy Chinese COB as well as QB-288 v2. The qb's run cooler and put out a better spread of light. For me the coverage was greatly improved over the COB fixture at the same wattage, and the spectrum is a little better on the eyes. I've been very happy with the productivity of both.

Leds are the future. Looking forward to building these QB360's.

Wow dude, just found that thread accidentally a second ago. You are very kind, there are a lot more experienced growers than me here. I don’t think those are terribly dangerous bugs, see my reply over there.

I agree, the price just needs to be more reasonable, and I know its already gotten a whole lot better.
To be fair, if space, temp, and other environmental factors were not an issue, I still may use HPS at higher wattage for the 'bang for your buck'.

I am starting to think these are either hard strains to feminize or put into seed form, or something happened with these last seeds that Cannaventure did when breeding them. Lots of people having issues with the plants from the LVTK and Raspberry seeds given out. Some good ones here and there, but very poor consistency.

Nickel is a micronutrient that the seeded plant should have in proper amounts for strong seeds.Alot of breeders miss that important micro or change something up in there solutions.Could be a possibility.

What's the cost for the 4x4 set up. I'm looking to do the same thing this fall.

Click to expand...

for a 4x4 12 cobs around 700 for 2 drivers,12 cobs and heatsinks and aluminum.12 cobs with the 1400mA driver will give you 650 watts total,for a shorter canopy.If you want to go higher get the 1700mA drivers and run 3 drivers at 789 watts for deeper penetration.Its all up to you.You can run cobs from 1000mA to 2100 mA they will just put out more wattage at higher amp input.
the 2100 mA driver will give you 975 watts over a 4x4.Over kill IMO unless your growing a 8 foot plant or have a very deep canopy.I use 1400mA drivers for efficiency but i may go to 1700 on my veg room.Just a matter of swapping the drivers.The cobs dont change.

Edit just priced that setup with 12 cobs for a 4x4 and its right at 700 dollars,aluminum 8 foot rails are 12 a piece so you cut them in half,with drill bit and screws and 4 sticks of 8 foot angle your right around 800 out the door to slay a 4x4
