GroErr Grows...

[GroErr]

Some COB porn at different stages, JTR is catching up in the frost department and 2 weeks behind these Blue Ripper x Blue Dream. Every time I run this 3+ year old JTR she reminds me why she's still in the garden. First run under the 3590's and looking like a champ, should be a good haul off this one

Blue Ripper x Blue Dream P1, Day 41/6 weeks:




Blue Ripper x Blue Dream P2, Day 41/6 weeks:




JTR, Day 26/4 weeks:

Cheers BBC and thanks for the props, these COBs are making it look easy! Lol, I haven't grown up yet either, 56 and still think I'm 26 I'll switch you places if you take over payments to my ex though

 

[Bbcchance]

Ok, but i have 2 young children to raise and an Irish Catholic wife to deal with, an ex sounds like the cheaper option to me lol

 

[BobBitchen]

Cheers & thanks Bob, OCD can be a benefit if redirected towards something productive Happy skiing man, looks like you're almost set to go for the season, nice! We had a small dump that melted right away and now nothing so looking like December before I can get on the hills again over here.

Hey thanks, this run is in 3 stages of flowering and all over the place as far as vegging. Longest veg in there right now are the 4x 3gal's in the center of the room, all those had about 4 weeks between 1gal and the final 3gal containers. The oldest one's at 41 days had about 2 weeks, and the newest one's had 2 weeks in 2gal's, then 4x 1gal's that I'm just pheno hunting were in party cups until 3 days before I flipped them.

The lighting is the first run with a total of 600w of 3590 COBs running at 1400ma, total of ~24 sq. ft. of footprint so ~25w/sq. ft. medium is 50% triple mix soil/50% Pro-Mix. I'm using AN A&B only, very low feeds just supplementing the soil/pro-mix. Typically but adjusting for strains I'm using the following pattern: water-feed-water-feed-water-water and repeating that cycle @400 ppm, costs next to nothing and works well...

I run 4x6' trellis panels for the same square footage. I can run 1100W of 860W CDM Allstart lamp- it pulls 1kW and the mag ballast pulls 80-100W. Or I can run 4 COB LED modules that each pull 225W. Lately I've been getting really nice results with only three of them.

Are they bare chips or you have reflectors or lenses? I use KB 80 degree glass lenses to better direct the light and to protect the chips from abrasion and contamination.

I use Angelina-type reflectors.

I have a mix right now actually, the 100w bars have the reflectors and the new one's are just running bare, mainly because I keep forgetting to put the reflectors on - lol May grab some lenses more for protection than anything else.

Y'all run your lights overhead, so protection may not be necessary- that said, I clean overspray off even my overhead lenses regularly.

Since I run my lights vertically, it's just inevitable that they get bumped and rubbed on. Glass lenses take all the worry out and do a much better job of directing light onto the canopy than reflectors do.

Yeah I'm thinking more for inevitable dust running soil, long term they're bound to get some dust on them. Haven't looked but there has to be some to fit those slots the reflectors clip into.

A Buddy sent me some beans a few years back and one cross is the JTR and DPJ, Deep Purple Doja I believe. Checked my list and have 5 of those so maybe see if they'll still sprout.

What is you like about the JTR GroErr? I'm more of a sativa guy but getting into High CBD strains and plan to blend the different types of pot to make something similar to the Sweet Skunk CBD I bought in BC and brought home to make cocobudder with. Great stuff for my arthritis.

Those sound like they're worth popping JTR was one of the first strains I started indoor and got this lemon pinesol pheno, really strong lemon smell, more pine exhale once cured. It's the most PM resistant strain I run which is a big deal where I am, it's had plants leaning on it with PM and hasn't gotten it. It's still one of or maybe the frostiest pheno I'm running, great for sift/hash. It's sat-leaning and very up/energetic high, get shit done smoke but strong head stone. It also mixed very well with the Blueberry I started the Blue Ripper cross with. In the Blue Ripper I have different phenos, one sat-leaning, smells a lot like JTR and big producer F1 (great for outdoor, PM/Mould resistant). An indi-leaning, mid-producer pheno with perfume level terps and more of a body stone. And recently 2x F2 phenos that are almost identical , strong blueberry and hash smell and taste, combined strong head stone and body stone. Really good meds, works for my migraines and should be great in caps. I have 3 of these phenos in the room, first and second gen clones, need to build up a stash for caps

i will try to find the website i was reading, but a grower was using cobs without any reflectors IN A TENT and getting better readings and results than using reflectors, the reflective nature of the tent gave better dispersion and coverage than having the reflectors focus it onto the top of the canopy.
now i'll spend a frustrating hour trying to find it again

these guys brought up an interesting point about reflectors/lenses

I don't understand how it'd be 20% less. The emitter's still bare, it just has a collar to direct light. I also don't keep it any higher than you would bare.
