Hey Jerry - nice lookin' ladies! I have a question about your lights. Are you running MH and HPS in the same space for flower? I'm very impressed with the trichome development on your plants and have heard MH in flower helps with that. Just curious if MH is your secret or if it is something else...

Thanks Medshed.
I use a 400w MH for the first 2-3 weeks of flower in my small flowering space, then move them under my 600w HPS in a 6x6 tent, so no MH and HPS in the same space.
However, I do use enhanced-blue spectrum HPS bulbs, most recently the Digilux enhanced-blue, which had the best spectral chart of the 5 or 6 brands I compared. It is much more "white" looking than some of the other balanced spectrum HPS bulbs out there. If you use a digital ballast (specifically CAP NextGen) I highly recommend this bulb.
So no direct MH light after a few weeks, but a healthy amount of the blue spectrum. I think my trichome development is certainly influenced by that, as well as the organic nutrients I use and the proper environment I try to provide for them. And the genetics I'm using these days are pretty top notch (Cali Connect, TGA, Soma, DNA/Reserva Privada) so that always helps
Damn jerry, you make it so hard to pick favortites anymore
SQ #2 has some crazy 11 point fan leaves, you should press a couple after harvest. The pistils on SQ 1 are crazy, looks like the buds are a little denser on that one. how much longer for that LSD? Its wierd not seeing the plants on the sink for the photoshoot haha. much love Jerry, enjoy your day. those pics got mine off to a good start
I never really pay attention to the amount of blades on the leaves...didn't think it had much bearing on the plant. What do you mean I should "press" them?
SQ 1 is the most dissimilar, while SQ 2 and 3 are pretty similar. They all smell and look different though.
LSD is at 60 days today, and should be coming down soon. I haven't checked its trichomes though. I actually seeded that plant with the Querkle pollen, so some of the lower branches will need an extra week or two to finish up making my Q-Trip seeds! I'm going to miss having this plant around...truly some of the strongest cannabis I've enjoyed to date. But now I have some seeds of it!
I had to move the venue of the photoshoot yesterday because I already had all the plants out of the tent as I was watering. Expect to see them return to their normal spot next time.
Also, I harvested the Tahoe #3 last night. Got some pics pre-harvest, so I'll get those up soon. It is just the most ridiculously resinous plant I've ever seen, much less produced. 2 hits of the scissor hash last night and I was OUT.
