CSI humboldt thread

Some Coked out Girl Scout at flip.
Swapped my LED to CMH halfway through veg, one didnt like that at all. I think it messed with nute uptake or its just sensitive, new growth is all good though.

I'm noticing the same with ALL the csi gear (and founding fathers) - pretty sure my LEDs are stunting them; or rather, my environment isn't giving them what they need with the my LEDs...I may throw some cobs up, see if that changes things...if not maybe I have to break out the hps

Have run all sorts of light and the one thing that made a difference was going from coco to hydro. Odlmoney and snausages specifically got more robust in the hydro. Snausages did not like the coco very much

I hear you. Has anyone found a cultivar that performs particularly well under LED's, specifically quantum boards? I use QB's and it seems like it makes things a bit more touch and go. It all works out in the end though.

I think my issue was a cold root zone, plants weren't unhappy but just kinda meh. About 6 hrs after I switched everything was praying but that plant in particular just kinda burnt hah.

Ah shotty...better luck next time.

I'm thinking I'm gonna run a few under cobs - see if anything improves...if I get similar slowness, and overall just blah like you're seeing I may have to bust out the HPS and see if that does anything.

Interesting...I ran hydro for a few years and had mixed results; never ran CSI gear in hydro though, so maybe I'll have to set up a couple buckets!

I've run a TON of gear under my LEDs (custom PLC and HLG quantum boards) since I switched from HPS/CMH...most seem to like it (AK Bean Brains, Bodhi, Ethos, TGA/Subcool, a hundred bagseeds), it's just ever since I got my CSI gear craving on I've noticed issues (slow growth, skinny branching, shorter plants). Driving me nuts. That being said, I still get decent harvests of daaaank, just have to power through. I still think there's got to be some factor, or factors, I can play with to achieve what I am looking for...that's the beauty of the hobby I guess.

Worth a shot. Was not getting a decent root ball in coco but in hydro it seems to pop a little more and put out some roots and grow . Not a vigorous plant the snausages but its some dank old school og and why shes being kept.

You guys sound kinda crazy, talking about how CSI' gear doesn't perform well under LED or Coco.
Like he's bred a special characteristic into his genetics.
:D
Sounds like a user error, lol.

This is what I was thinking lol. I've grown too many seeds to count in more combinations of genetics/lighting/nutrients/substrates/containers/feed methods, etc., than I can remember. Unless a seed is specifically runty I can say with confidence that most issues are operator generated. Usually from environment or saturation levels of the root zone. Just my experience and opinion.

I just accidentally cooked a pack of white triangle, a lil too hot, got 18 other seeds up, grower error, not gonna blame ole white trash. I suspect beer cup stress, small cloth pot rootball stress, light intensity stress, aka environmental/grower is what many scream herm about, bjmo. If you notice, many a problem is had by the same grower or two with diff strains, but same probs.
 
The main problem I had with leds was the intensity. I use to run them at full power and the plants always looked like shit. You gotta dim them down in veg and let the plants get use to them. I turn them up gradually until I hit full wattage at the start of flower. Warm temps (82-85) and a little extra calcium and magnesium are usually necessary as well.
 
I use soil and sun the CSI plants fem from seed. Badass genetics. Clearly better than the hype breeders like exotic genetics(lame af), dna, dinafem, massmedical, Barney. Fuck grew so many shit fem off attitude back in the day. CSI fem hybrids are solid. Only issue ever had was autoflowrring mendo purp s1 and a mutant goofball looking Hong Kong Phooey (dogshit/ofp). Planted the mendo54/forbidden fruit , WiFi/D, and panama/bubba three days ago and they are all above the surface now. I always see people questioning what to buy. Buy whatever you want. I think the hybrids might be more fun than the S1 in my worthless opinion. lol. Peace and love. Live free do what you want and grow plants. I’m very high rn

If you havent run the snausages or the Tk cut as another example then maybe you dont know what im talking about. The similarity between the 2 leads me to believe theyre related. Tk was never vigorous whatsoever and lost the cut after it just stopped cloning which has never happened The Tk cut and snausages to a lesser extent just arent the most vigorous plants out there and are fussy as all hell . Maybe i didnt pop enough packs of the snausages and didnt get a strong plant but the one i have is the weakest plant in the stable and it took off in hydro compared to coco so say what you will . Old money is fine it does its thing regardless of medium or lights
 
Snausages is the only plant thats fickle and fussy of his and ran a few packs. Snausage is Og kush x chem 91 . Anyone run those freebie og kush crosses he gave out feel free to chime in as id like to hear how it goes with em.. if you do have any id pop em cuz that unknown og is o_O

Just to be clear, I wasn't saying anything about CSI gear. That's all I run right now. I was just asking if anyone has found a cultivar that seems to perform especially well under QB's. And I agree on the user error thing, but some cultivars are more forgiving than others for folks like myself who are still finding their way. Cheers.
 
So I sampled a little bit of my Lemon Tree x Zkittles last night, after only a week of curing. it definitely stills needs more time to cure, but the flavor was INSANE. It tastes like lemon mixed with berries and is pretty darn potent. Just a couple tokes and I start to get that rushing cerebral high where you can feel it in your forehead (I hope that makes as much sense to everyone else as it does me) and I can really focus on whatever I'm doing at the time. The buzz lasts quite a while too. would def recommend this strain to those who are a fan of strains high in limonene.
