Summer 2017 HSO 4 Strains In Coco DTW Under 600W HPS

[FatNeil]

Anybody else here use hps? Is there that much lumens loss from bulb after a grow? My cheap amazon bulb I was using my first grow burnt out halfway through my second grow or I probably would have kept on using it. Wonder if it's worthwhile buying a new one for my next grow

 

[Van Stank]

Sorry brother, I am an LED guy, no clue about HPS

 

[FatNeil]

I'll probably just use this bulb to veg my next grow then replace it for flower. I really do want to go led for next year. Power and heat are the main reasons

Chop day. Took a couple hours to wash buds and hang dry. Will trim in a few days I think. My back is killing me after all that.

I estimate slightly lower than 4 clones yielded. I'll be happy with anything over 4 oz.

I did not wash the last harvest with clones and I think they are the best buds I've grown so far. We'll see how it compares to this washed harvest

Day 56

Black Dog

This girl keeps looking better and better. Orange hairs everywhere now. Getting some purple on a couple leaves.

Green crack

Amherst-sour-diesel

Chocolate-mint-og

Lots of purple on this one. Had to put some string in there for support. They are surprisingly dense for how small buds are. Flopping everywhere. I'm gonna start flushing this one this week.

Those are the main reasons I went LED. I also hear that the LEDs can bring a bit more potency, but not sure if thats true or not. I like T5s for the first month of the plants life.

Anyways, your Black Dog is looking awesome brother. Keep chugging along and its going to be ready soon.

Day 60

Black Dog

Lots of clear trichs still. Can't find any amber. Gonna be awhile longer for her.

Green crack

Amherst-sour-diesel

Chocolate-mint-og

Flushed for 1 day now. Some really beautiful colours on her.

 

[FatNeil]

Looks like I'll be staying at this place till end of March now. Ordered some cks candy cane autos so I can squeeze in one more grow before I move out.

 

[FatNeil]

Bubblelicious is really good after 3 weeks curing. I'm hooked on terpinator now. These are way better than the plant these were cloned from. Strong fruity bubblegum taste, slightly minty exhale.

Been sitting on the couch drinking coffee and watching the cubs game. This stuff is not good for being productive that's for sure.

 

[FatNeil]

After 6 days dry I put everything in jars. 43g of popcorn buds and 77g of the bigger stuff. Not bad for being under cfls most of their life.

They smell slightly less pungent than stuff I didn't wash. Still heavenly though.

Update tomorrow

Ya Neil, that's not normal. I get several grows and I only replace when I want fresh ones, not because they burnt out.

Maybe clean the bulbs....I hear they can get really dirty

Holy icicles batman! Especially that green crack.

Never thought of that. Good idea

Yeah, it didn't get very tall at all, but there is a ton of bud sites. It's got icing everywhere. Gonna be a lot of bubble hash from all that trim.

Yeah, what caught my eye, that I don't see that often (maybe I don't get around enough yet), is the amount of frost on some of those legit large fan leaves, not just the sugar ones, and it's not like a light dusting reflecting in the flash either, or so it would seem. Yeah I'm already jealous of your trim! I have about 30g of trim at the moment that I'm gonna try my bubble hash bags out on, I was expecting to have more, and it looked nothing like what your will end up like. I'll be happy to even have anything to scrape off the screen(s), but you, my lord, are you in for a treat. lol

 

[FatNeil]

Cut a couple small buds from cmog and dried them in oven for about and hour at 220F. Surprised at how good they taste and smoke. Gave me fierce munchies and then I slept a solid 8 hours.

One thing I can say about cks is they are definitely speedy. Ordered these Thursday night and look what was in the mail first day after Thanksgiving Monday

Day 64

Black Dog

On day 2 of flush.

Green crack

Lot more amber than I thought there would be on this lady. Started flushing today.

Amherst-sour-diesel

Think this is gonna be one more week of nutes. Then flush.

Chocolate-mint-og

Lighting doesn't do this one justice. Colors are so purple. Smoked some early buds last night and it caused me to forget totally about update yesterday haha

Day 70

Amherst-sour-diesel

She's got the whole 4x4 to herself now. Day 2 of flush

Harvested Green crack and black dog today. Green crack flushed for 7 days and washed. Smells like citrus and mint. Amazing. Was so short, but nothing but bud and frosty leaves.

Black Dog was flushed for 8 days to harvest and wash at same time as green crack. Skunky smelling.

I estimate ~3 ounces each for Gc and bd. Maybe 3.5. Cmog is gonna be lightest weight by far. Still drying for a few more days. Maybe 2 ounces, but it took forever to trim. Gonna be so much hash.

This journal is almost done

 

[FatNeil]

Black Dog had hollow stems. Never seen that before
