Balls to the Wall grow, Riddleme Gets Serious

[cindergrow]

was out of headroom weeks ago LOL but right now they are about 12 inches from the light (give or take in a few spots) definately closer than I wanted em

I did this (let em go wild thing) to show folks what they would and what is possible if you let em do what they want

I guess I was wondering what a safe distance was to set up. I got my 400 cmh and was going to finish it in a half and half, (4 under each) next to a 1000 hps. A bit late for a true comparison since I'm in week 7, but maybe some good data will come from this little experiment. As soon as I'm done this will become the veg light for a new cycle.

As an aside I put the meter set to foot candles under the cmh and at about 14 inches was reading 3500-4000. the hps was in the 7000-8500 range.

Thats cool Daniels , I'm trying to come up with a way to process some trim. Mabey I,ll just do the Riddleme coffe grinder idea.

And speaking of frosty buds check out this Summit Sweet Skunk I got the other day!

 

[gumball]

i say 1.2 lbs dry weight, congratulations riddleme

since everyone knows you here, are you gonna keep this thread going for future grows, or do you have other plans?

 

[kingofqueen]

I,ll go with 1.5 pounds . What are u going to do for height control on your next run Riddleme?

 

[riddleme]

will continue in this thread for awhile, as still finishing the IR experiment

and just so all the guessers know I rounded down, if a bud was 62.9, I called it 62,,,,,,so wet wieght is approximate

also did not include the popcorns from the stepchild, they are hangin seperately

and you'll be amazed at what I have done for hieght control

 

[Danielsgb]

I'll go 1.25 lbs. The Coffee Grinder works good for frozen trim leaves. I'm calling it Leaf Kief. Can't wait for Harvest Pics.

[kingofqueen]

I,m intrigued !

 

[rastadred22]

wow riddle dats crazzzy man!

 

[riddleme]

ok here are the results by plant

good ol #2 which I named Kat and who was the most vigorous came in wet at 989

#3 which I named DD cause of her two huge colas came in at 892

#4 the Tilders plant came in at 338

and the stepchild who took #1's place (Udo the male) came in at 176 (so much for big bud???)

DD's two big colas were the biggest one was 201 other was 145

pics are as they went into the chamber (from the bottom) 1st shelf is Kat, 2nd shelf is DD, 3rd shelf is Tilders, 4th shelf is Stepchild

then there are pics of the two biggest colas and I have big hands also the pics with soda can are just those colas on the shelf by themselves,,,,edit: reminder, shelves are 25 inches wide by 18 inches deep

I am going to say adleast 1-2 pounds. Nice yield for only 4 plants!

 

[riddleme]

I did the first 12 hours with lights on, then 60 hours of darkness, then 12 hours of lights on then 12 hours of darkness before harvesting,,,,,,pics are of one of the root balls as you can see they are brown so def O2 starved and were not root bound

 

[riddleme]

here are before and after pics from last weekend when I trained some of the plants to mater cages,

 

[riddleme]

The blue pots are NorthernLights #1, the purple pots are Tilders (NorthernLights Specials) the 2 #1's with cages had ALL of their big fan leaves removed the remaining one is the control plant as I am seeing for myself this whole defoliation thing. The 2 tilders that are not caged are basically runts as they were the last clones to go in several weeks behind.

Also light is lowered back to where I want it and the make it rain stand is back in place

 

[Danielsgb]

Nice. Great Harvest.

wow truly impressive! i say it has to b over 2lbs! easy!...love the new garden...and its about time someone proves in hard copy what defoliation does...u kno what im siding for, (thats gonna be the lowest yeild of the garden!) but good to see this experiment take off...are u going to continue with the infared?
