SLH Round 2! 400w MH/HPS

Matatan, you got the right seeds, but there are a few phenos in this strain. Look at my avatar....that's one of my last SLH...the other looked different. I'm feeding the fox farm line up and transitioning from Grow Big to the Tiger. They have been in flower 6 days and have put on 6 inches in height in that time. My last ones didn't stretch this much, but apparently it was a bad gauge because I had some lockout going on at the time that must have stunted the process.

Ray, I did LST during veg basically to get the tops the way I wanted. I have a couple of strings left that are attached, but I can't do anything too drastic at this point as the stems are at the width of the pot and have no where to go. So the strings can be tight and they will just grow straight up from there. The stems are also too long and tall at this point.
Additionally, this is a hermie prone strain, which means I want to avoid any stress during flower. Heavy LSTing during flower can cause a vegetative response and I don't want to get too heavy handed and sprout balls.

Got cha. I'm going to be scroging this strain to try to tame her tall nature.

Getting a little tall here...

Without the HPS. I hope they stop stretching!

Lookin good man, i wonder what pheno's u've ended up with...

Yeah she did get tall. A lot of space between internodes. I'm vegging under CFLs and am almost in week 4, my lady is little, but the internodes only have a few cm between them. Going to throw her under the 400W MH on week 4. Hopefully she gets a little bigger, but not too much.

looking good dank

You may want to keep than MH on for the first week or 2 during 12/12. Thinking that may have kept them shorter with less space between the nodes. Of course, a sativa is going to have more space.

They take up more w/ a longer flower. I was thinking 2 weeks of MH, then the HPS.

That's a good plan Ray. Now that I think about it...
Looking back at my last grow's SLH phenos (one more indica/one more sativa), they yielded the same total, however, the more indica pheno got a good portion of its yield from mid and bottom nugs with medium sized colas. The sativa pheno had big thick colas and a lot of internode spacing with very little mids and no lower nugs.

20 days of flower: I would not have said this on my last SLH round, but now I am. Watch the stretch!!! They went into 12/12 at 12 inches. They pretty much put on 20 inches in 20 days as I measured them at 32 yesterday. Buds starting to take character. Hopefully these bitches are done growing and ready to produce!

30 days of flower:

Looking Great. I'm on about 2 weeks flower myself. Keeping her small....not like yours.

You growing Super Lemon Haze Ray Ray???
I harvested mine a few weeks back. I grew mine in DWC and they hated "heavy nutes" and got super huge. The buds really do smell lemony. They smoke alright too its definitely a Sativa high. Good luck ray ray Super Lemon Haze is a fun one to grow but a long finisher.

Wish I would of found this sooner o.o

subb'd. +rep



p.s. i also read all your other threads, not to sound too creepy but i saw you had problems with your plants and i'm an addict to knowledge so had to read it to add it to my brain haha.

props on this grow man, i wish I would of gotten a cooltube, those things are dopeee.

Good to see some late comers. 34 days of flower, 1 day shy of 5 weeks. Buds not really filling in yet. I put these in flower at 12 in. I can not believe the stretch...they are over 3 feet tall. Sucks cause I think I would yield more if more of the plant mass was getting more intense/closer light and I could back the light off the tops some. As it stands, I'm out of room to raise the light, but at least they stopped growing. Temps are 75-78 two in off the bulb...so cool tubes work well if you have an inline fan. The disadvantage is the small light print, but I can't fit a bigger hood in here.

Concerned about yield, but not too worried yet. We shall see. Steezz, I had some lockout and water issues last go. Not doing that BS this time. As a result on the last grow they barely stretched, which threw me on this round. Plus I upgraded from 1.5 gallon to 5 gallon pots and from 250w to 400w....long story short ...this time... they freaking took off. I'm figuring 6 more weeks of flower...I pulled the last ones at 10 weeks..going an extra week this time...maybe more depending on how they look.

Looking damn good man, I'm glad I found you, cause most of the people I talk to have 600w...1000w...2x 1000w....4400w.... lol so I feel like a baby.

But seeing great grows like yours off the same light output as mine gives me more hope than you can imagine.
Last time I smoked SLH I didnt like it that much, but yours is lookin lovely. But you have me a little worried man cause you're saying you started at 12 inches... my sativa got started around 18 inches and that was after I lst'd it the rest of my plants were around 12 inches... so now I think i'm going to need to buy another tent cause I'm running out of room lol.

props man, keep up the good work/

There are a couple SLH phenos and they have different effects when smoking. I got 2 last time that might as well be different strains and I've heard there are more variations than that. Last time, the more indica looking one with the purple in it was super potent and felt like someone was standing on your brain. Kind of like you did coke and smoked weed. Fun with booze, but a little on the intense side. Enough to knock your dick in the dirt. The more sativa pheno was lighter and more euphoric. The kind of stuff you can go out in public and talk to people on. Both lasted fairly long.

I believe the stretch had a lot to do with my larger pots aside from not locking it out. Also, I should have kept the MH light in there longer during the first 2 weeks of flower as the blue light has a tendency to keep the nodes tighter.

I decided that these plants got too tall and the middle bottom portion is not getting enough light. So I went into my closet and pulled out my old CFL stuff. We now have 200w of supplemental lighting added that will hopefully help

BADASS!!!! Love The DIY Shit! I would of been using both all along if you're keeping the heat down.
