The Secret Garden- Twin Blackstar 240.

[D3monic]

I'm using the haight in my veg cabinet works pretty well for that. Eventually I might move it up to my closet for a little more blue spectrum side lighting. As soon as I can afford a t5 fixture for veg.

Day 55

I took a branch off the purple wreck. I'd like to say it's to test it but honestly I'm out of herb lol. I got it hanging in the closet. Trimmed nice and easy. Nugs very dense.

Wonder Woman had the hardest nuggets I've tried.

Got Venus Flytrap, Dr. Johnny Fever, Swiss Cheese, Acapulco Gold, and a mutated AK-48 started now. The AK-48 has a good deformity. It grows with 2 main colas, then the second main cola splits off of itself and it just keeps doubling its heads. Shit is crazy looking. Last seed I had of it, maybe I stressed it? Got 2 1/2 heads starting on it now.

Nice, real nice. I upgrayedded from my HSS PPF800 to a Blackstar 240 based upon your PAR comparisons. I've been running it for 2 weeks now and they look lovely. Stuck my HSS as a side light in my christmas tree grow.

haha, I just made a xmas tree reference when I pulled down my ppf1600 to replace with a 1 watt diode penetrator (why I don't know, the hps overrides the led in my room or so it would appear to the human eye). so not a good word on haight from this thread either? the splashguard certainly seems to look like it would get in the way a bit. was thinking of removing it myself. has anyone tried that? mine looks not totally clear and I'm not sure if it's shit that needs cleaned on the inside of the splashguard or if it's just the material it's made from.

Mine is still pretty clear but probably made of plexi glass which fades/clouds with long term exposure to UV. Pretty sure it could be buffed clear again.

Mine looks kinda blurry too, I think it's just how it's made. I wiped mine down and it still looks like it, maybe the heat from the LED's fog the thing up, I dunno.

 

[dbkick]

I think I'm just gonna remove it.

 

[dbkick]

put a fan or two on the damn thing too, that or that sucker is hitting craigslist, I was real close to buying a shitload of them and glad I didn't now. if they're good in veg though I'll hang on to it. I like to mix it up.

you must be getting some good med right now! out your thread 3x in one day? what is this world coming too. lol yeah the heat has probably "tempered" the glass making it less clear. i would just remove it if flying waters not an issue.

woot woot, I'm cured ! I haven't even started one fight! oh wait I did kinda wanna beat shit out of shaggy earlier but that's a normal feeling.

quick dried a bud from purple wreck last night. Ground it and smoked some this morning. Wasn't as harsh as I would have expected and got me pretty high.

 

[D3monic]

This plant will be lucky if it makes it all the way to chop, dry and cure... lol. Out of weed, $$, resin and friends. This bitch is getting the ax sooner than later lol.

your telling me lol, going thru the same thing here. got 4 weeks till next harvest ill be lucky if what i got lasts 3.. got to stretch it, i say as i microwave buds.... i feel bad when i hear about people quick drying thier buds cause i know no ones got a micro like mine(old ass micro, probably 800w), i swear to you my shit comes out like a cured bud when its done. but it goes bad later after it sits turns to straight rocks then to dust when you touch it.(not always just sometimes)

 

[D3monic]

I just dried a small nug of lemon og in the oven at 180. House smells yummy. Harsh but not bad.

Lemon def gets to go for at least another week or two. Buds where very fluffy unlike the dense purple wreck.

 

[D3monic]

Lemon is def going into secret headstash. I haven't even finished a bowl.

 

[GypsyBush]

Just got through the first page... Got some catching up to do...

see you guys in a bit...

Nice set up btw... Me likey!!?

 

[D3monic]

Thanks!

I snipped a small nug off the bottom of skywalker. She's got at least another week but I quick dried it in the oven. Oh my does she taste good. I can't wait to try it once its dried and cured right

 

[polyarcturus]

dude i got to get some skywalker i think about 7 out of 10 of the journals ive followed have had skywalker and that shit keeps getting rave reviews.

 

[D3monic]

I got the skywalker OG .. wan't to say it was from reserva pravada, you can see in the journal that shes very stretchy (barely a foot tall going into flower) and now her tallest bud is 2 inches past my light. Not going to get much... maybe 3/4 oz if I'm lucky but that shits getting stashed for sure. Rock hard dense nugs, most bigger than golf balls and about as round. Still tons of white hair but very frosty. I had two tiny popcorns at the bottom of the branch after dry and they looked like glass breaking as I crumbled them. The larger bud was still a lil moist in the middle so it's slow burning. Keeping me up later than I should be.

Been a very long few days. Thought I was getting off work early yesterday only to get a call while I was on my way home. We had a big oily mess back at the facility. Ended up working till like 9pm. Dealt with it all day today and got to head back in tonight for the graveyard shift.... Looks like I will be working through the holidays. Good thing i'm getting double time or I would be a little salty.Looking at chopping the girls next Wed during full moon. Going to make some jerry rigged pop up tent that I can put the girls in for their two days o darkness since they are sharing space with the next round. Closet 60-73f and averages around 40% humidity. I will probably just hang and dry in closet. I cant imagine the bs240 puts out enough UV to degrade the THC especially if they are hanging higher than the lights. Checked my test branch. At 4 days the buds feel dry but branches still bend. Probably will average 5-6 day dry times. Hope thats not too fast. I could probably make that a few more days by watering day or two before chop.
