my next upgrade will be a ceramic halide bulb. I've done my research and they are a good mix of spectrums plus they emit UV light. Plants respond to this by increasing resin production, like sun screen. It runs on a magnetic HPS ballast. Anybody know anything about it, think it could work?

turns out the nirvana northern lights shows sex in like 40 days...too long for me. Maybe i've just been lucky but all mine have showed within 14 days. what are average times to show mellow?

Normally around the three weeks mark. I like the sound of that ceramic halide bulb dont know anything myself but I think they'd be a useful investment :mrgreen: and I'm Loving the new photos man she is looking tasty :bigjoint:

I think so too. It's just finding a 150W bulb that's the problem. The ones that are out there are at least 40 USD plus shipping. And there aren't a lot out. Thanks man, she's still growing too, the buds are really starting to stack on top of each other now. When do you think you'll start a new seed?

Wouldn't the bulb you said get SUPERRR hot? I think I have one similar that I use as a "spot light" for when me and my mates are out back.

thats not to bad man whats the lifespan on one of those? glad she's going so well
:mrgreen: whats your estimate on the yield? I've already germinated two and planted they've not yet surfaced but I only planted today lol I'm not starting a new thread til they've sex'd tho but I'll keep you informed :bigjoint:

Oh by the way I made some cannabutter earlier for the first time
:mrgreen: it went well. I made it with a bit of trim from my last grow but mainly weed that I've already vaped (to death lol). I've had nothing for a week or so and thought I'd give it a go. I used 66g to 500g of organic unsalted butter (its organic because thats the only unsalted they had), then made some cookies :clap: I've had two an I'm pretty baked :eyesmoke: so I'm happy with how it went its worth giving a go if you haven't already :bigjoint:

If you vape it to the point that it's black can it still be used for cannabutter?

yer man thats what I did :mrgreen: all I did was use almost three times the vaped weed, your suppose to use 28g(oz) of weed to 453g(lb) of butter but I used 66g to 500g butter it does make things taste like vape weed though which is a bit odd

Sorry for the hijacking of your thread napa :mrgreen:

Here she is just after lights out to get her true colors. The tips of her top leaves and calyxes are turning slightly purple. I wonder how she will look with a trim :). Weather is looking mostly cloudy today checking trichs. Day 61, hopefully 9 to go.

I would guess by the dying off leaves it is almost done flowering?

that's the idea. I keep them on til they basically fall off themselves. That way I don't have to feed within the last 2 weeks. She's feeding on the stores in her leaves. This also gets rid of the leaves that don't get any light and increases airflow between the buds.

9 days to 70 i think so that's what i'm shooting for. of course i'm no newbie so if she needs more time, she's gonna get it lol. all these kids running around chopping their plants 2 or 3 weeks early.

yeah man. i'm glad i have the patience to let her go longer. she just keeps shooting out pistils. Those buds are getting pretty damn thick, just how i like em :weed:. I'd like to make brownies with my trimmings, as she's glistening right now. Do you know how? You made something with pot right? I'm too stoned to remember hahaha.
