Snow Dream - Coco & LED Closet Grow #2

I was finally able to get some decent pictures. I tell them how beautiful they are every day.

FLUSH TIME!! Such a beautiful strain this has turned out to be, going to the dispensary in next couple days to pick out my new babies!

Congrats they look great.....always though reaching the end, cause u know that u got to kill em...:[
Those new girls are getting the "Diamond" treatment...don't know how lucky they are..

They are gorgeous. How much did you yield? what lights were you using? a 180w and a 200w? link brand? How much do you think you were cranking out compared to a HPS?

Puff what do you think about this light:

I was reading a grow journal a few weeks back and the guy was comparing the Blackstar to the GLH Spectra and he found that the Blackstar wasn't pushing near the advertise wattage. (Kind of like cheap "1000w" amps for car stereos that only push maybe 300). He went on to say that the Blackstar was a GOOD light, just something to keep in mind about that advertised wattage.

Yeah, can't wait to run a full cycle with the diamond. I've been using it with my 180w for couple weeks now and I feel like I see a difference.

Thank you. I haven't harvested yet so I can't say anything on the yield this time. Probably will hit 3-4 ounces? I use leds from advancedledlights.com, this grow was done with their 3w 180w extreme flower model and then I added the new 200w diamond series just a week and a half or two weeks ago. I compare my 180w to about a 400w hps give or take. Next run Im going to be doing my 180w and 200w together for just under 400w of led and expect to be on par with about 600w hps. We'll see though.

No clue about that blackstar...just a wild guess but if it's actually more like 250w not 500 (pretty sure blackstars don't run at advertised wattage although I haven't looked at their newest models) it will probably be more like a 400w hps than 600w hps.

I haven't used any blackstar lights. From what I've seen and heard they are decent lights at a great price. I personally wouldn't buy them because of their warranty. And it's been well documented that blackstars don't pull their advertised wattage...something like half. But I've seen some fine journals with them.

Got a nice week's worth of flushing, 48 hours of darkness...chop time!! About to get medieval on these bitches.

Be gentle......

Been missing in action...actually, not much action going on right now. Fully harvested, jarred and curing. Going to cure for a good month before diving into the jars. Sampled a few nugs after they were dry enough and the taste and smell are superb, the high was mellow and relaxing. Total yield of nugs (not counting trim or fluff, was 120g...hit my qp mark again.

Post some jarred up pics later today.

Will be taking a break from growing for a few months...but i'll definitely be back for more!

Hey good job man. Not bad for just a 180w of light. Be nice if you show us the finished product.......
Good luck and be safe...

Jarred up. This was before I was done trimming so I still had another couple jars to fill. I reported in my last post I hit 120g but then realized that I left out 11g so my actual number is more like 130g.


A couple of the nugs. Elements are my favorite papers!

Thanks bro! Not bad indeed, I was thrilled I hit a little over 2 ounces per clone. That Snow Dream is an awesome strain, beautiful in every sense. Hope to find some seeds one day because I'd like to grow it again.

Yeah love this strain (shes a beauty). I only smoked it a handful of times off my friend from Cali (f@cking loved it)..........Enjoy the fruits of your labor.
Now i gotta stop being a bitch and switch to leds......

I too am growing Snow Dream right now. I picked a few of them up at my local dispensary. I did a google search for "Snow Dream" and your thread popped up on top. I'm doing mine under a 400w HPS, so we'll see how mine goes.. but they look pretty similar to yours. Nice grow brotha.

Thanks for the compliment! Yeah I am loving the snow dream, the smoke is amazing. I'd like to see some pics of yours under hps to compare. Feel free to post some pics up in here. I just responded to your private message too by the way.

I'll p.m you my email and send some pics.
Can't post pics on the forums cause I'm using my iPhone, unless you know of a way?
