pH problem perhaps?

When I first bought my Hydrofarm 400 watt magnetic ballast light back in the 80's, the bulbs were expensive, so I kept using the same one for a long time. The bulbs definitely lose brightness as they age. It may appear subtle and you might not notice it. That's why, whenever I use my MH fixture...

Hmmmm....I guess it's not that legendary, after all...or maybe it's ALL legend. I'll never know, I guess! On my last seed purchase (Hazeman Tuna Kush), I got some freebies -a 5-pack of something called "Rocky Mountain High." It's supposed to be a cross of Mikado and Colorado Green Bud. I found...

I understand, now. I guess it just seemed a little misleading, to me. It sounded like the description was of a first-generation cross. But I see what you're saying. Thanks. What would happen if the two landrace strains were both Sativa? -say...Panama Red and Acapulco Gold, for examples...

The Updayday light is up and running. So far, so good. I can tell that this fixture could get hot at full power. My seedlings just surfaced yesterday, so the light is dimmed way down...probably 30% of full power. At that, it raises the internal tent temperature by about 10F with the fans running...

Yep, it would be perfect for a 2 X 4 tent, but I only had 2 plants under it in my 3 X 3 so each plant got a spot directly under each side. I have TWO Viparspectra XS1500s, so that was an option, too.

Actually, I used it once and it performed very well in the 3 X 3. It's a great light. I really like it.

Decided to go with the Updayday light. I've been fiddling with it and there really are some cool features about it. First of all, the pre-set spectrums are "MH" (metal halide), "CMH" (ceramic metal halide), "HPS" (high pressure sodium) and "SUN" (sun). I will say that they DO resemble the color...

This is an interesting point because I know that we didn't EVER differentiate the type of high that we got from weed. Back then, if the weed was good weed, then it tasted great and it sat you down. It made your eyeballs into rubies and slowwwwwed everything down and made everything feel warm and...

I always assumed that the reason we used to import weed in bales from those places, was because the weed from those places was unique unto itself. It was wild...but not wild as in hemp-wild. It was wild in terms of having to be from that place where it grew and evolved through open pollination...

Okay, well if I'm mistaken, then my apologies for the waste of time thread. But I always thought that a landrace strain was a strain that nature had created, where the genetic traits had been established and stabilized after countless regenerations. Sativa landrace strains would be from certain...

I can't invalidate anyone else's experience. I can only speak through my own. I was a grower back in the 70's. I had a gallon-sized jar of every kind of landrace seed you could imagine. I got Thai weed from a Peace Corps worker after the Vietnam War. I had Gold Columbian, Oaxacan. I had Hawaiian...

I never heard the term "haze" -outside of Purple Haze! We called weed by the place it came from..."Mexican" "Oaxacan" "Jamaican" "Columbian" "Acapulco Gold". I don't EVER remember the term haze in the 60's or 70's so it's odd there are Haze Brothers who have seed stock from then. This whole...

I will! In fact, I think that most anyone would tell everyone if they actually found something that was really the real deal. But, I don't see how that will happen if it hasn't happened by now. There are many seed sellers who claim to have something....But everyone knows those seed sellers and...

I heard it's legendary and some kind of lineage associated with notorious biker gangs....lol....I don't care about any of that. I'm just wondering if anyone has smoked it and what it's like. Thanks.

"Mikado is a hybrid weed strain made from a genetic cross between two landrace strains. This strain is 70% indica and 30% sativa...." If the strain is a hybrid between two, LANDRACE STRAINS, then how can the cross be 70% Indica and 30% Sativa? It is either going to be 100% Indica, 100% Sativa...

Search on Updayday on Amazon...a bunch of models come up. Yeah I'm leaning toward using it for the first time. Yes, it's the kind you can fiddle with the spectrum...OR, use one of the pre-set spectrums. Honestly, the instructions are non-existent and it's going to be a bit of trial-and-error to...

Oh....and going to use the Gas Lantern Technique in veg. I'm sold on this lighting schedule. I've used it many times and it is legit!

So, I'm getting ready to set up my Fall/Winter indoor setup. I have accumulated a lot of lights over the years. The Updayday light is the only one I haven't tried. It has some weird kind of built-in timer switch with green display that stays on ....not sure if I can bypass it or not. Anyone...

My feeling is that if the old school weed, that I speak of, actually was around to this day, then everyone would be smoking it. I have been looking and looking and reading all kinds of reviews and descriptions. I've taken the bait and tried a few of the so-called real thing.....none of it was...
