Yield was hurt by bud for rosin being too oily, or fresh.....made collection a pain.

Your Pineapple Chunk looks amazing brother. Top quality herb. I've had my eye on the Pineapple Chunk for quite a while due to it's cheese lineage, i'll be growing it out this year still. Wow that WW has a gorgeous colour to it!

Cheers Irie, the CMH are the quality masters, they pump up the oils and terpenes, make it taste,like it should.

The Pineapple Chunk and me have a love affair that spans 10yrs.
Every single time I smoke it Im always happy.....and it decks me with a heavy punch. Any concentrate from it has pineapple taste and trashes you.
It grows and survives torture with ease.
Just deserves a mention, that one.

White Widow, ....I grew most of this, so it is the staple, go to strain for day time smoko. Only bad thing is I decimate food on it. Thank the stars I can cook.
The Rosin from the WW is lovely but just needs more of a cure...bit drier yet to squish good.

Just smoked WW joint, off for a coffee, do some stuff. Pity ya werent here Irie, I roll a decent spliff....coffee aint bad either...

Gardens are looking good, coming back, was a lot of damage to roots that has taken time to bounce back from for a few. New growth shows real story..... Next time....

Update!
Ok, lets roll some of this here up.....

Rightio then, have ordered some focal reflectors with 4m leads to go remote ballast, so be using focals in flower gives me better punch.

Mums have really started pumping it.
Growing a bit tooo fast.

Mums going off, supposed to be staying small..... grrr...

• Lowrider72
• Aug 14, 2019

Might put Mums in 20L pots under clone before flipping, then I can fill the tent up easy. I need to get a third LED globe up in veg quick keep mums happier.

The girls under CMH are getting healthier, gave them a good trim and they look a heap better...and some root porn......

Getting used to loading it right and short burst of coil power hits to retain flavour...science , science, science, blah, blah, crap, look a unicorn, ....blah, blah....

Heres a Quad coil drowning in G13 Rosin...

Hey N420, getting there mate.
Yeah, they will go off soon.
I really needed a clean up in the room.
Easy to get to and do stuff now.

Heres some pics of the plants settling in to new groove....

Then I got some old G13 haze and squished 7g in 2 x 3.5g presses.
Return was only 10% @ 0.7g. Is pretty average bud though, for Rosin pressing.

Heres a few pics I took while doing some test squishing..... Rosin bubbles...

Luch time...

Hey brother! Hope you’re doing well. Sweet new rosin pen! I’m about to jump online to find one of those in South Africa. My last pen I got works well but the single coil is too weak for me, that quad coil setup looks potent!
Nice work on the transplants, solid root ball to work with - these girls are gonna explode with growth. They are now in 20L’s right? Gonna train them at all or let them go all natural again?
Lastly keep pressing that shit it looks amazing!

 

[Herb Dean]

LOWIE!!

Been a long time old mate! I’ve been busy moving and changing my life up but I’m finally back and caught up.

Sorry to hear you had a rough patch with the hospital visits mate but it’s evidently hard to keep a good fella down. Good to see.

Can’t wait to see what this grow brings! My hats on the hook and I’ve taken advantage of the complimentary spliff

Cheers mate!

Hey Irie!
Then pen is pretty sweet, rosin tastes pretty good, got to watch you dont over do it sometimes.... Lol
Yup, those are all in 20L pots.
Completely out of coco now.
All those plants were trained like a semi quadline, basically trunk is 1.
1 into 2 into 4 into 8 into 16 and so on.
Makes for a nice spread of colas on topped Indicas, and Im going focal shades for more punch.

The Rosin press is a cruel Mistress..... Lol
I press it, then vape it....
Thanks for the kind words.

Hey Herby,
Glad the move and stuff worked out.
Meh... Im fine, its dem shifty nurses ya gotta watch.... Shocking... Hehe.
I got complimentary RAW papers now too mate, in your reserved Seat next to Irie, they are in the VIP baggies.....

 

[Lowrider72]

Did I leave my Coffee mug in here.....?

Update....

Focal reflectors are now on lights.... Thats why I spent extra on mag attach reflectors...hehe.
Now I can go Broad or Focal in 5 min.

Focal has a higher ppfd than broad over all distances, so should be able to punch some longer colas, get deeper into the canopy.

These are specs of both reflectors if anyone would like a look...

Hey Lowie! Those reflectors are so damn cool, I'm hoping to have the same setup by the end of the year. All the plants are looking great and loving the CMH...

Cheers Irie, yeah they rock.
Recom ones have solid steel magnets and plates at each end. Just remove bulb, as not to scratch the bulb glass and its click out....click in.
This set up cost me a bit but its quality equipment, should last a long time if looked after.
Just changing the reflectors to focal ups the uMols by 80. 615 uMols on Focal up from 535 uMols on broad reflector.
PPFD goes to 119 from 91 as well.

The girls on the left are straight out from under 6500K LED @ 38watts, not bad.
Ones on right been under CMH for weeks recovering from the Home Alone incident......whistle..

I think CMH and full spectrum LED is where its at now Irie for value and performance. Low wattage grows with great results and plants getting close to natural sunlight.

I just smashed a WW joint, drank a coffee.....ahhhh.... Flava...

 

[Lowrider72]

Just a few pics of the girls....
gave them a 1ml/1L dose of Cal Mag on top of usual feed, seem to want more under the CMH.

Bright light.....bright light....

 

[Lowrider72]

Hey guys, decided to go remote ballast, so have a couple 4m cabled brackets for these focal reflectors to mag attach to.
Then run ballasts in room with just globes and shade set up in tent.
Should be pretty cool.
Hope so, this run should be done and dry 3 weeks before Xmas....yes its coming that quick.... Lol.
Temps here start getting a bit warm about then.

Just waiting on a couple adapters to arrive and I will show the new set up as soon as I change it all.

For now, few picks of the girls.....

[N420]

Plants looking stellar Lowie. You have done a great job with your canopy everything looks to be the same height. Nice call on the remote ballasts during the hot season I noticed my ballast can get pretty warm but the ballast and reflector are all one piece
These will be ready right around Christmas that's one hell of a Christmas gift.

 

[Lowrider72]

Ho ho ho! N420, thanks for stopping by!

I got my arse into gear today, full tent relighting, hanging, wiring etc.
Much neater now and happy with set up.
Grabbed a few pics before I finished it off and retired for the day...

Hopefully can flip soon, or,may run out of room. Be by end of week I think.
Enjoy your Weekends.

 

[Lowrider72]

Hey Guys,

Well looks like the girls need to be flipped. Tomorrow is the day.
Went in today and watered half of them.
Drinking a fair bit now in 15-20L pots.
I have to take into account the stretch on the plants, so now or pay later... Lol

Got a few pics while I was in there.......
