I’d love to see that comparison as I’m currently using an HLG 350r plus a Crecer lighting panthrx mini to cover a 4x4 to 5x5 space that’s a walk in closet I sealed and also converted to a grow space, but considering upgrading to a mars with a bigger footprint like your FC 6500 or even a FC E 6500, instead of the two smaller lights, and I might use my current two lights for other experiments once I upgrade
Just enter every light competition and keep documenting your grows and you'll either win, or have someone come to you to test their light in exchange for documenting it in a grow journal.
Awesome Jeff!
The seed banks you are dealing with do they have an old school section ?
Loved catching up with your journal! Such good information, thanks! @Jeffislovinlife C99 are an S-2 from Female Seeds. The S-1's they came from split about evenly with a pineapple pheno and a mango pheno. I had such gastric distress from it I haven't run it since but I should refresh the run as the seeds are getting older now. I have some Mosca C-99 I'd like to run too. We are lucky to be living in a time with such a wide variety of seeds easily available.
Most of the old school stuff I buy direct from AKBB and Fleur Du Mal (they have a website). Hazeman has some good stuff too. I also have a bunch of stuff from CSI Humboldt-I like their Pirates of the Emerald Triangle label, some good heirloom strains and CSI has Chem and OG S1s that I like. I think in my collection, the breeder I own the most seeds from is AKBB, and I have a list of stuff that I still want to buy from him. I'll grow out his Sensi Star f4's next time. The problem is, I also want to pop his beatrix choice, Deathstar bx, Hawaiian Cat Piss, Big Fuck x NL1, Black Domina....and many others. Next time I order from him I plan on getting his 907 Blue Genes (blueberry terps), PHK, and Dope Beard Durban. I also want to keep expanding my landrace seed collection too though...there are so many awesome landrace seeds on strainly, but most of those are shipping from overseas.
The irony is so strong, how we have such access to all these different strains but now we want some historical stash seeds! I wish one of my relatives had a good stash from the 70s or 80s!
Speaking of historical seed stashes up in Nova Scotia at a viking site they found hemp seeds lol
No, but that's a good idea. My plan was just to close them up when the pollen sacks are close, but that's a little dangerous. I bet I could just tape some paper over top of them when it's a little further along.
Thanks for stopping by!
Man good luck deservering that holy cow lol
I have cut the male branches off and put them in a cup of water inside a paper grocery bag to finish puffing smoke before I had a separate area ;D Then just brought in a female or two and grabbed a branch and shook it all through her/them.
I'm just hoping I get that far, I want some pollen! Strawberry Cough S1s would be so cool. I really want to experiment with different ways to manage pollen within a single room-I've got lots of paper bags and clear plastic bags for isolating plants or single branches. It's going to be fun, I can't wait until I have females with each cola pollinated by a different male. In the past I only did open pollination outdoors.
Im curious if you have ever ran the C99's from Brothers Grimm? Wasn't Mr Soul the guy that bred the original C99? I have some of them in my collection and with your run and @Jeffslovinlife thinking of running C99's I thought maybe its time.
Right now I'm doing everything I can to keep pollen out of my room from my neighbor for some strange reason I guess he believes he can grow outside his house
but I think what you and others are doing is awesome and once again I've just got to say thanks for the opportunity to be able to share in your Journey
Yes, Mr Soul is behind the C99 and was gone for a long time, but came back with the new Bros Grimm a few years back I think. I have no idea how the new version of C99 stacks up to the old lines of it, I haven't seen any of his new stuff grown out yet, but I'd love to see them sometime. I'll check through the C99 thread on ICmag to see if anyone posted pics there. I just got my Sweet Tooth #4 in the mail from FDM, but they're going to have to wait until next time-it's a wonderful strain, I think it was actually cubed the same way that C99 was, but it's from Breeder Steve originally. It started out as the Sweet Pink Grapefruit clone from Vancouver.
