Got in a money jam, so I borrowed a 400w from a friend.
These plants have lived their entire lives under floros up until the night before last. They are loving their new home under the "sun", no shock whatsoever. They're even handling the additional heat without a problem. I have grown with 400s in the past so I know what to expect. I was hoping to flower my "big mama" under a 600 at least, but I've been out of work and a friend offered to lend some equipment so I jumped.
Pic 1. The big bush is a QCDiablo, a friend and I have been growing it for awhile. We got the beans from a buddy, he said they were from south of the border but didn't know much. We grew them out and they are def a hybrid, they produce well, and the high is killer. We called them Senõr Kush for awhile, but QCDiablo (Queen City Diablo) stuck. Everyone around here loves it and asks for it over our breeder strains.
She was started in March intended to go out outdoors, but for some reason I decided to hang out on to it and put it in under some cheap floros just to keep around. As time passed the got bigger and bigger, so I started training her to stay low and pruned daily. I have only fed her twice her whole life and she's in Happy Frog soil.
Pic 2. These clones are Afghani Hindu Kush, and they are for my friend for letting me borrow the gear. I'm not really impressed with this strain, but we'll see how she does with me at the controls.
Pic 3. Afghani mother. She birthed all the little ones you see, can't decide if I will flower or keep around.
Pic 4. This is my favorite girl. Skunk #1 x Blue Goo, mmmm. We've dubbed these AirForce1 and it's that one hit shit. I will not be flowering her this time around, she's my mother for future crops. I may throw one in, but they are high smell and im working without a filter. Tend to lack a lot of side branching and form resin covered buds that stink of roadkill / skunk. they will also leave your fingers stuck together. it's so strong we almost called it Pepe Le Goo.
I will probably flip the switch in a week or so, just seeing how they like all the extra lumens before I commit. Plus I have a few loose ends to tie up in the room.
