So fast forward here OG, what will all this flower do? Go straight to live Rosen?

Btw they all look fantastic. Looks like 96 buds are bigger

I have my Moab’s nugs. Stressed that fucker to the point of making two plants seed heavy. Some of the pollen got on my sour stomper x fantasmo express. So I made deez nugs x sour stomper x fantasmo express all Mephisto. That’s my “Moab’s strain”

Then I have the 3rd monkey. White widow xxl Dinafem x Moabs deez nugs straight pollen to these plants. I reversed deez nugs using colloidal silver solutions and isolated it and collected the pollen then pollinated a handful of plants seeking some seeds. So far I’ve found that 3rd monkey strain seeds. WwxxlxDn and I also have Iceman strain. It’s Fastbuds Green Crack x Moab’s deez nugs. And honestly the Green Crack is in my top 5 quality ever plants in terms of bag appeal and smells. Strength im unsure on. Have a fat joint behind my ear. About to grill some dee oh double g’s and drink a few beers with my boss from work the. Will spark it up. Smoke report to come. Bitch is as fat as my pinky (although that’s not saying too much.....)
Is that what you’re sending?

@Or_Gro

So my reservoir looked like this at 9pm

6.0 PH
0 EC/PPM
77 degrees Fahrenheit

Sounds like the seedling ate up the rapid start.

Also, what’s the highest my water temps can be again? I know 68 is the lowest...
My h2o temps are going to Be my struggle besides ice bottles what can I buy to keep temps down? I believe it’s called a chiller but idk what the fuck I’m looking for.

Hey @Or_Gro

Could you show me how you hung your 96s? Im trying to do a similar setup if not straight copy your idea. You use fishing lesders dont you? Im wanting to hang my 4x 96s all seperately with just leaders but I am nervous about how to ensure the wires arent pulled out at any point. If you have any ideas, please share. Thanks!

If you get far red, run it for full lightson. 96s have red and deep red, adding the far red with these drives the emerson effect, which boosts photosynthesis.

Then run the far red by itself for the first 5-15 mins of lightsout to drive the initiator effect, which puts the plant in “sleep” mode instantaneously, rather than two hours after lightsout. I let them sleep for 12 hours, you can switch to 13.5 on/10.5 off to speed up harvest date.

After this, CO2 is the next step to increase photosynthesis.
Whooo.... *bites lip*.... c02 is just too much right now lol

Maybe one day. I’m just pretty excited to be able to utilize my own space the way that I want to without too much fear Of folks finding it.

I think I’m definitely going to get some of this set up as I build my new room

This is super fucking exciting like I’m gonna go get some Goodwood good screws at me to get some sound dampening material the whole 9 yards man

And that basement stays super super cool down there so hello tight nuggets goodbye 80+ degrees temperatures in the tent

I will make it a point to not breach 78F this next run

Thanks man!

Most of it: bubble hash -> rosin; won’t technicaly be live rosin cuz i have to dry then weigh for smackdown results before freezing...won’t cure, tho....

Imo, 96s are bigger, but there seem to be more buds on the 288s...

So, we’ll see....

Btw, i didn’t choose today’s buds based on their size, but based on my ability to get a reasonably good shot of their trichage...

I’m also running two of these 4’ Arcadia 25% in each 4x4:

They increase the % thc in the trichs...

The sweetspot for water temp is 68-72....below this, it holds more oxygen (good thing), but slows down metabolism...above this, oxygen availability drops and conditions for microbeasties improve...

Chillers work great, but are best for rwdc...i am fortunate that my floor is cold, so i haven’t even opened the box mine came in 3 years ago... @Steakbomb uses one, hopefully he’ll respond.

Nice buds.

From the pics, looks like the 288s are making denser buds. I like the structure of the 288s over the 96s too.

Either way, good looking all around.

Anyone know why my GSC is turning lightish yellow bear her bud sites?

RH is 60
Temp 79F
PH 6.1
PPM 700

Res is full of MegaCrop and hydrogaurd and Canna Pk with a bunch of mammoth P and Myco Chum (to feed the mycorrhizae sample I threw in her res) it will actually feed the mammoth P as well so it’s mutually beneficial across the board for me to add food for my microbes :)

They seem to be loving it! She grows so vigorously and she is flowering hard now but there is just this lack of green color centralized towards the center of the bud sites :/

This couldn’t be a calcium magnesium thing could it? I don’t think she’s starving 700 ppm is pretty high for another flower I mean I suppose I could bump the PPM up to 1000 and see what happens but I don’t feel like I need to do that I guess I don’t know someone tell me what to do LOL

I did start out hanging them by fishing leaders, but spent a lot of time trying to balance them....i gave up on this, tho others seem to like the leaders...

I now use two designs, both based on using 4 self-tapping screws, 1” angle aluminum, a hacksaw, a drill, and a screwdriver.

The first, puts all the lights in my 4x4 on the same level, and i use 2” styrofoam layers under my buckets to set the tops even under the lights:

AB9E562A-64B6-49F5-B71D-9FF43D5D4E07.jpeg
Basically a square frame at the walls, with pairs of cross bars to hold a pair of lights. I only have a single screw in each of the corners of the square frame; the cross bars and lights are not screwed into anything, so i can move the cross bars and lights anyyime without any work. I use blue painter’s tape at each end of the cross bars to hold them at the proper distance so lights wont fall thru. I use clamps in the tent’s corner posts to rest the square frame on to level them; i also drilled a single hole at each one’s midpoint of each side of the square frame, to attach a pulley as my insurance policy for frame not falling if a clamp comes loose....takes more time to describe than to build.

The second design essentislly is two cross bars with ends, a screw in each corner, hung by wires attached to pulleys:

7D4D90BB-998F-4CD5-B670-783871EDBCD9.jpeg

Again, i just put the lights on them (not screwed in) so i can position lights where i want them. The ones above are for 2 lights, but you could make a smaller frame, for each individual light.

Thanks man!

These pics were about the trichs not buds, so the buds are not really shown in a way that makes them comparable or representative.

There are differences in bud size and quantity, not really shape or hardness. (I just got a durometer, hoping to start quantifying bud hardness, which is amazing).

Imo, you can’t go wrong with either type light. But, I think that the 96s will kick the shit out of the 288s in veg, tho i haven’t done a side-by-side in veg yet....
