DWC means deep water culture...which is aeroponics.
...which means he knows his grows! I will eventually evolve into this after I master soil! I only have about 5 grows under my belt. To answer your other question Loud, yes I have run cfl's straight through flower and have gotten some dank buds from it, but last year I moved up to a 400w Mh and bought a hps conversion bulb for it which rocks! The last grow I used the mh bulb for veg then switched to hps for flower. This time, I decided to start new plants before those monstrous ones were finished so I made a separate veg cabinet and pulled out the old cfl's to light it up! You won't get huge monsters, flowering with cfl's, but they do grow some sweet buds....you just gotta keep them close to the plant...but not too close because they will burn any part of the plant that is touching them.

Oh and yeah I have a fan running constantly but not consistently.... meaning one day I'll turn it on low, the next medium..sometimes I turn the fan away so it pulls the air through the plants...... Lol, because nature is like that...some days are windy some days not so windy. I've heard alot of people say that a fan can deter those pesky spider mites...which I had once and never want to have again!...not sure how true it is.

wow u got a real beast on ur hands here. I sure can't wait to see what i'm in store for. I got a Sweet Black Angel about three weeks old now, but I'm growing her outside so i know she's going to be a monster. I plan on cloning it and having a whole garden full of them by this fall.

Did you get the 400w mh online or at a store? And about how much did it cost you? Oh and where did you get the hps from?

I acquired the light fixture and ballast through a trade with a friend....best trade I ever made! It's a hydrofarm light. The bulb, I bought from a hydro store that I took a road trip to...it's about 1 1/2 hrs from me. I originally was trying to get an agrosun gold bulb for it, which is a mh bulb with hps like light specs, but the only one they had in stock had a manufacturing defect in the glass...and for $120 I was like no way! I settled for a conversion bulb which screws right into the mh fixture but throws 360w of hps light...it was $35 and I don't regret it. The next time I buy a bulb, I think I will do it online though...because they are cheaper and because I won't have to hike to the hydro store when I can have it delivered to my door.

Man Darwin those girls are looking good! I can't wait to see how my baby turns out. I added another CFL on Wednesday and topped her on Saturday... She is looking pretty good, but I'm new to this so I don't really know... One thing that I have noticed is that she is very bushy! Matter of fact here are some pix that I took earlier...

Yeah Samsara has some sweet looking strains. They only specialize in autoflower and feminized strains. I will be trying more of their gear, for sure. I already have an order in for some Spicy White Devil, which is Jack Herer x Blueberry...I've also heard good things about Supersonic Cristal Storm, which is an autoflowering strain..I'm not to well schooled in autos yet but I would like to try it. I hope all of their strains are as stable as the SBA seems to be!

hey darwin riddle im gonna start a thread here in general m/j growing on my current grow [sub-cool ace of spades] i feel it would serve a better purpose here instead of in seed & strain reviews as its not all about just the strain i would appreciate it if you would stop by & check it out its not just my current grow but also the direction my next grow is headed as well it will be titled ''ace of spades'' & beyond

One plant is hanging, and the other is still fattening up, in the flower room. More pics of the big girl, and the harvest, to follow soon...also stay tuned for the smoke report!

Well, here it is guys. This strain has super compact, heavy buds. The taste is true to description with a musky start and a blackberryish finish. This was an easy plant to grow, but stretches heavily in flower. I will definitely be trying more of Samsara's gear. Sweet Black Angel is a great strain for LST and for 12/12 fs runs. I recommend it.
This plant could have gone longer, and probably put on alot more weight but I had to get it out to make room for some new ladies. I ran this strain for 9 weeks.
