Just a few more pics as I had her out for watering today...probably not that exciting for you guys but every time I take a close look at her I see something that makes me smile!!! lol!! Trichs are coming in fast now... always a pretty sight when you peek in the tent:)009.jpg010.jpg011.jpg018.jpg

Threw the tape measure in on one of thie pics but keep in mind thats from the floor... not the soil... just to give a little idea of the height~ (34" btw...just realized it's hard to see)

lovely healthy plant m8 nice shade of green :)
great experiment too, i have always been interested in these induction lights
would you be comfortable removing the led, do you think it would be ok with the induction lamp alone ?

peace :)

That was my initial intention... to go strictly with the induction... but after much reading I saw a lot of talk about how the lamp is lacking in the red spectrum... I had the LED sitting around and I felt as though it would be a shame not to give this plant every chance to prosper... It's just a small 100w blackstar which I have angled from the side side for the canopy... The plant was just so beautiful I felt obligated to give her some red if that was what she needed...lol~ I'm sure there will be a solo run in the future though!

I should mention that they list this particular lamp as "bi-spectrum" so I'm not sure if that addresses the issue of the reds... just didnt want to take a chance!

nice m8, hope it finishes nicely for you, im sure it would work fine by itself .. i see your point having the led laying around, you might as well use it
not sure why these lights have not caught on more, when you read up on them they have a lot of good points
i know in some countries they are trying to implement them for street lighting over LPS or HPS
since they are white, they light up an area better than golden or yellow light at a lower wattage and the bulbs have a much better life span than HID'S
looking forward to the end results

peace m8

getting FROSTY!!!!! Never had trichs like this at this stage in flowering although I have seen MANY grows of course that have... but it's exciting for it to be my plant this time...lol! Having no "control" grow in this experiment I can't say whether it's Sannies genetics or the induction light or a combination of the two but things are definitely going well so far!

The four "tops" are filling in nicely and I would guess that the buds are going to be 10 inches in length minimum...really quite a sight to behold:) Not to mention a multitude of others....this is a strain I will highly recommend to anyone who asks....it's really a beauty!!!

Sannie suggests a 9-10 week flowering time... I can NOT even imagine where this is going to be in 5 weeks....unreal!!!!!!!

well... not sure... kind of thinking it was a lot of work without much reward... getting tons of pins but they seem to just stall out... Got the initial handful... now I'm just trying to figure out how to get more...lol

restart and be more uniform about it lol, it takes practice well worth the reward only reason i dont have any going myself atm is im just too tight to afford 20$ for a syringe.

Looking good m8 .. i had no doubts that this induction bulb would do well
they seem a viable option for those with heat as a big issue
and for anyone that likes to experiment!

keep up the good interesting work looking forward to final pics
peace :)

thanks guys!!!!! things are definitely coming to a head. Today is day 53 of 12 and I've started using the loop to check trichomes... I'd say they're about 50/50 clear to cloudy. The smell is getting a bit overwhelming... smacks you in the face as soon as you walk in the house... kind of lemony pine...but obviously NOT a christmas tree;) lol~ have a few pics to post that are about a week old... will post some new ones when I have a morning off:)

2-3 weeks still donnnie. :) but she looks great now is the time to either cut back on nutes or go very low dose for another week.

already flushing Poly...but honestly went very light on the nutes throughout the grow...I never ran into any issues so after the initial few weeks I just gave her low doses of tigerbloom and molasses a few times. Easiest strain I've encountered to keep "happy":) also those last pics are 7-8 days old so when I put up some new ones I think you'll agree we're almost there:) ty for the post!!! new pics soon!
