yeah i think ill end up right around 2 once the rest of the plant is dried out - i only harvested the big colas from her, in hopes that all the little buds would get swolen on me. Still not much progress yet, but the trichomes are still milky, even clear in some cases, so i figure ive still got a couple weeks for them to fill out. N personnally, i gotta say im not a huge fan of single cola dominant plants man. Im growing out my White Widows with a Single cola right now, n im smackin myself inn the head right now for not topping or fimming the shit out of them. I mean, obviously i dont know how much theyre gonna fill out on me, but the main cola on the taller Widow only goes down about 8 inches, and then theres hardly any bud at all below that, lol. The shorter, more squat widow has alot more budsites, but its a slower grower. I woulda just loved to see 6 big fat donkey dick colas on each plant man. I love seeinn that shit
-But you definitely picked out a good strain to grow if your lookin to pack a growroom that doesnt have a shitload of vertical space. shes not the heaviest yielder in the world, but she most definitely is one of the nicer looking varieties, and she hulks out horizontally, rather than getting tall n lanky. I love that about Whiteberry too, lol. Cant wait to see some finished product from you man. Hell, i cant wait to see my own finished product after 2 weeks of not touchin or lookin at my jars. I wanna be surprised, but i hope she keeps that sour berry smell to her. That shit makes her so unique from all my other plants. Fuckin love that smell man, i could smell that smell forever n never get tired of it, lol.
WM -- FUCK YEAH man, lol. I would normally say the same thing as far as letting sommeone else guinnea pig that LED before i do, but im kind of intrigued with it. Ive done alotta reading on what the possible future for LEDs are, and really man, weve just scratched the surface. All the stuff that we hear about LEDs being shit, and not ggiving the plants enough lumens n all that, n producing lower yieldingg, less potent buds - Its all because of the types of LEDs that are available right now. The Japanese or Chinese havent reached their full potential yet in the research theyre doing with LED, n the stuff that theyre putting out now, while extremely expensive, theres ALOTTA talk about these $1000 lights that are equivalent to 1000w HPS lighting, and even surpassing HPS, in that they provide WAY more blue spectrum, promoting more UV exposure, and more Resin production. I know theres ALWAYS gonna be people saying FUCK LEDs, and thiers always gonna be people praising them, but im on neither side. Im just flat out open to the idea of improving on growing conditions, and lowering cost, heat, and energy consumtion, all at the same time if possible. While this may not cut down on cost, its cutting down on heat, and energy consumtion many many times over, and that alone would make this light basically pay for itself in the first grow alone im sure, with all the money you would save on the electrical bill alone, not to mention not having to use even half as many fans in your growroom, n those big fuckin blowers CONSUME electricity man. Everything adds up, especially when your doing something thats a smidge bigger than small scale. I think that within the next year, i may do a run with one or two of these LED light setups. Wouldnt even need a ballast for it man. Other than the Illumination problem, Im finding it hard to find an excuse anymore to not at least give it a trial run, now that claims of the lumen problem being handled are floating around.
Ok, enough of me goin on n on,
Im out for now.
Gyps - I did actually post about the octagon, but it must not have went through from my iphone, cuz i couldnt find it either. N ill post in reguard to your light hanger problem tonight sometime man. I wish you had a pic, or a crude drawing of how you wanted to set it up though..
