do you notice any difference from changing mediums?


plants look good, a lil yellowing, but healthy

 

[bigkuz68]

yeah soil is easier, some days there isnt anything to do, a nice change

 

["SICC"]

pretty sure the yellowing is from the hydro, they started to darken up since transplant

Update

black indicas are close, they are 6 1/2 weeks 12/12, 7-8 week strain

i was gettin worried for a sec haha, buds looks great, they always have that white glowing appearance to them, like something on high times haha

 

[bigkuz68]

thanks
heres a couple closeups i took to check the trichomes... quite a bit of amber but just not quite ripe yet...had to tie them up they kept tippin over

 

[bigkuz68]

3 black indicas trimmed and drying, biggest two will be soon

 

[bigkuz68]

i have notied a big difference in how the trichomes are under different lights... the buds grown under all red led have much less than the ones under red and blue and warm white... although the buds were denser under all red

 

["SICC"]

any difference in Yield?

 

[bigkuz68]

looked pretty similar but the top bud was more dense, they are all drying together so prolly wont know... the two i have yet to cut are much more buds

 

[bigkuz68]

remaining 2 black indica

ebb n flow is doin nice, pineapple express in the back, gigabud up front

 

["SICC"]

Nice, im lookin forward to the pineapple, have you grow it before? how many damn strains have you grown haha

 

[bigkuz68]

too many strains, now i just have pineapple, gigabud, might be a few black indica mixed in... i havent grown pineapple to finish before... i cut the last plant, there all drying now... looks like a quarter pound easy

 

["SICC"]

Nice, sounds great man, keep me posted

 

[micro.grower]

damn nice grow and sicc preciate ya throwing this link out there...
bigkuz... quick question... lets say i wanted to replace a 400w hps with led's... about how many watts worth of led to make up for the 400w hps? me and a homie were having this conversation last nite... is it even comparable in these terms? i am hoping that i am making a lil sense.... i need to go smoke... i'll be watching for a answer homie...

 

[bigkuz68]

its definately not what the manufacturer says... if your gonna do it though i would say shoot for 200 watts... still gonna be less heat than the hps
