Ah ha! Indica's are not made for that climate and why you get bleaching. You need some good Sativa's. Wish I could send you some incredible pure Sativa's as that's what you need and I'd love to see them grow for you. I understand about the pots, however it sounds like you need good genetics brother.rev.the natural
Well, why does a flowmaster muffler have a ringing sound? It just does lol. Molasses and sugar have always shown to put out the resin. Boys last summer had buds 11 weeks in flower, not frosty as mine at 4 weeks. Compost tea and sugar. They laughed at ole rev at first and bought all kinds of expensive nonsense and my piss tea and sugar destroyed all lol. Love the youth and if you show them, they'll hush, but you better show em or they give you heck lol. Rev.thenatural
Good genetics or not, indica's will not do well. I've got a load of great afghani beans that shoot me up to 5 zips a plant with just 1 month veg time indoor! The same plant does NOT like my sun lpl
I've lived here 18 months, those Acapulco golds above are going to be flowered in a few weeks. Then you and everyone else can see the whole process god willing and it will take more than 30 weeks. Nothing more to discuss now. I will update in two months and everyone can watch the process and they'll be nothing more to debate. I will harvest a different gold at each stage of ripening to also have tested so all of you and science can see true cannabinoids profile. There will be nothing left to think about and simply a choice to make then. See ya in a couple months as I've got people that need good beans and we are working on that also. Happy growing, rev.thenatural
Fantastic combination and red sun bulbs rock and I'm sure your crop surpassed any grown under sodium bulbs. Just suggestion, try sometime a 41-5500k combination with ati blue plus 14000k. Rocks the trichromes and the high blue will quicken ripening in all stages. T5 period, will produce quality bud. I'm smoking some right now from a local t5 grower and its sweet herb. Think its chemdawg and og 18. Proper defoliation will also increase yield three fold under t5. One love, rev.thenatural
Defoliation at the proper timing will increase yields three fold under t5. I'll give you the timing as few explain it in lamens terms that understand how to do it properly. Once you get to the ninth node, top your trees. Then once the branch has come out of the node from the fan leaf and extends far enough for the branch itself to form fan leaves, then you pull the big leaf the branch extended from that node. Repeat that on every newly formed primary branch and when the primary branch starts to produce secondary branches from its fan leaves, then pull half of those on each secondary and flower. During flower, pretty much pull most all leaves that have long stems, except the ones coming directly out of the bud. Cannabis rocks under t5 with this technique, better than any we have used. Most defoliate wrong in veg and stunt their trees and then think it does not work. It works incredible when done right. When I show how to do it on outside crops hopefully this summer, you won't believe until you see it. I'll have 20ft monsters with nothing but torpedo's from a sub hanging off of them. People preach the wrong thing and down techniques that could be properly understood and increase cannabis production unreal, with much less electricity and junk. They just have to be willing to listen to those of us willing to help. Try some defoliation and it works better the less light you use, so small scale growers really need to learn the proper technique to it. Happy growing, rev.the natural....old master kush that has been properly defoliated. Around five feet.
You asked a great question brother and I have your exact answer lol. Sodium bulbs and the red spectrum, produces allot of chlorophyll b. That works against you when flowering cannabis as discussed. However, for vegging the sodium bulbs would allow for proper stretch and leaves are produced galore. You keep leaves pulled at proper time or say keep at least 50% pulled, you will allow fast secondary branch growth and stronger primary branches. Con of using sodium bulbs even in veg are two. One, believe it or not powdery mildew flourishes under sodium bulbs and I've shown people were a simple change to high intensity discharge, would make mildew disappear. Two, it is best to grow them start to finish under same bulb and you will get intense smells and beautiful more exotic looking growth under the beach and I just raise the lights if I need more stretch. As discussed, you guys know you can use any bulb to grow, however the beach will be your best bet start to finish. You could also consider a conversion 6500-7200k for veg and use the beach for flower and save time on the beach bulbs. Understand, most of you have never seen this tree really start to kill itself and ripen. The 14000k does it quick and your leaves are going to yellow and crumble and fall off fast and that's what the tree is supposed to do, so don't freak out lol. You will see things never dreamed and your joints will clog every time. Happy growing, rev.thenatural
