i would like to welcome everyone to my Seed Cabinet LA Confidential journal. i plan to regularly update this journal with photographs and video when Labexperiment brings over his video camera. my partner in this is my friend Labexperiment. Labexperiment and I have constructed a seed cabinet with a 6 inch carbon filter, 6 inch cooltube, 400 watt digital Lumatek ballast, exhausted outdoors. Labexperiment is an organic grower and has mixed up his batch of composted mater, rock minerals, gypsum, perlite. this is my first experience with this mixture so i have left the composition up to him. General Hydroponics Flora series nutrients are the nutrients that are going to be used for this grow. Labexperiment germinated the seed and has grown the plant under a 2' t5 florescent light until it was 6" tall and then topped at 4 nodes. I received the cannabis plant 14 days later and placed it under a 400 watt Metal Halide light. Mycorrhizae has been added to the roots during transplant from 1 gallon to a 5 gallon pot. I trained the plant down so its secondary branches would develop into separate tops. the plant has been fed General Hydroponics flora series nutrients at 5 millilitres per gallon. the lower leaves have just yellowed indicating that it requires more nitrogen. it will be switched to a flowering nutrient schedule.

LA Confidential

Details
This is a great medical strain as it relieves pain and helps eliminate insomnia. For the everyday user, the high of this herb is psychedelic and energetic, with a hammer. This girl is a heavy eater. There are two real phenotypes of the Confidential and they will both finish in 45-56 days. One is a bit more hardy, but both equal in knock down drag out stone. Pre-veg’ing is advised to maximize the yield. Thinning the large fan leaves in the later part of the flower cycle will promote more light getting to the lower buds, thus increasing your yield. With an incredible smell and unique LA flavor, DNA’ s LA Confidential has won many awards. 1st Battle of the Bridge 2009 (independent grower) 1st Indica HT Cannabis Cup 2008* 1st Kush Cup Las Vegas 2007 (independent grower) 1st Indica IC420 Breederscup 2005 2nd Bio Highlife Cup 2009 2nd Indica HT Cannabis Cup 2005 3rd Indica HT Cannabis Cup 2004 3rd Kush Cup Las Vegas 2006 Strain of the Year 2006 Hightimes
