Any recommendations for nice quality within a $200 price range?

Hey, @diggs99 when are you planning on chopping? I’m starting to see a few amber trichs developing but I feel like it’s early still...

Update for ya on the tricome situation.

The runt of the litter thats under the CMH is ready to chop according to trics and pistils, majority amber and orange pistils all curled towards bud.
2 Other plants on the tables under LED are showing small amounts of amber and majority cloudy, so they are getting close according to trics.

Now heres the thing im noticing, every plant except the runt is still firing bright white pistils , not sure if this is a trait of the BBHP or the Choc D , maybe i should be expecting pistils until chop? ive read about this before with other strains, but havent witnessed it myself.

I've got a theory that LED/CMH make the plants throw off white pistils. I don't know for sure, but I've just got a hunch that HPS is closer to autumn hues, while the others have more of a complete spectrum, so the plant is the correct age to be ripe, but receiving signals from the world around it that there's still time for growth. Total unfounded theory.

In my situation it seems the cmh plant is completely finished, pistols look done and trics are majority amber.

The led plants are showing amber but also showing lots of white pistols still. We will see what the next week brings.

Fast finishing it seems

1 DDS under 1000w hps getting scrogged in a 4x4. I think I'm about 4 to 6 weeks into veg. Using all the Greenleaf line.
Also just did a major defoliation.
She's in a 7 gal fabric pot and has been topped 2 times

That’s gonna be sweet @Aby55

Thanks. Yes it will be. My last run of dds was my first run with DDS and my best yield in the 5 or so years I've been at this.
I need a better scrog net with tighter spacing. That's my next project after this run.

I have noticed that with several of my strains, though I can’t really attribute too much to LED simply because they’re the only lights I use (except for T5 for seedlings), so my perspective is a bit limited.

What I have been noticing is that almost all of my strains are finishing - according to the trichomes - earlier than breeder recommendation by almost 10-14 days almost without exception. It’s really throwing me because I’m a newer grower still, and I keep asking myself if I’m jumping the gun. On the other hand, even the autos I’ve harvested have still hit like a Mac truck, so I’m at a loss.

Are you planning to chop, or are you gonna let them go a little bit longer? It seems like I’m gonna have to cut out the nutes like immediately and plan to harvest in a week or so..

I chopped the first girl this morning. She was the runt since day one but when i looked at trics she was prob 60-70% amber and all pistils were turned orange. So she was ready well before day 49 if i had looked earlier lol

The others ill give another week or two, keep an eye on trics and pistils and see how they look. If i feel they are still gaining size and swelling, ill let them go, but if they seem to be done and trics look right, ill chop them accordingly


I dont flush, i taper off the N and increase PK in the last couple weeks, but i feed nutes till the end ala @Renfro

The runt never even got tapered, so we will see how she tastes when dried and cured.

 

[DocofRock]

That’s what I was thinking too... maybe 7-10 days. They smell freaking amazing, I can’t wait! It’s gonna be A LOT of work to trim though

Sure do !!!! I was gifted some seeds by a close friend some years ago. They were simply labeled "really stinky cheese", I plan on hunting through them in the near future.

Lookin good there buddy !!! How many weeks flower????

Around 10wks. I really don't keep a close track on it unless I have a special reason to do so. It is starting to show ambers and I am preparing to cut in the next few days (once the last watering has time to dry out some).

Super strong burnt rubber smell.

What's good Useful fam!? It's been a minute but I'm back in the game!

Useful testing has commenced.
2 Tranquil Choc
2 H.A.O.G. x Choc
2 Gelato45 x Choc D


1 HydroRed inspired Flood & Drain tote.
Usually,I run 1st time seed run au natural. I'm not doing that this run.I'll top and prune to whatever shape I deem fitting or what I GUESS the tote will allow.
Lol, it's gonna be tight in the tote but I'll fight them until they make me concede and bust out another tote.
They are being run 10/14 under 200-ish watts of QB120's 3500k. Maybe 220w.
From seed.5 days to a week above the peat pellet to flower.

I was wondering what you were up to, good to see you back in action.

Is that a normal tote turned diy flood and drain table? i see the syphon valve but not sure if you bought this thing pre made or made it with a standard tote and valve lol

I like it!!

Thank you diggs. Yea, took me a minute to get things sorted.

DIY all the way brother! It is a normal tote(Rez) with a less deep tote of the same size acting as the flood table. It is a standard F&D kit attached to a pond pump from harbor freight. Maybe 25$ in it I made three and didn't have the totes,hydroton or F&D kits. Had the drain hoses,pots and pumps.

@hydro Red hipped me to them.

Heres the first Blueberries and Chocolate to come down

She was the runt, she produced a pure diesel smell and is frosty as fk

I expect to get around a QP dry from her i would think.

Nicely done diggs.Looks dank.
If a runt can somewhat keep up in veg with its siblings and is healthy,they get a shot at flower. They usually surprise me and offer something their siblings don't in the end product. That and I hate culling healthy plants.
Had one in a run of some of HydroReds beans and she ended up the tallest,branchiest of the 3 ran.Excellent end product that differed from the other 2.
