Sleezy do you notice a considerably different amount of trichomes on the top of your plants vs the bottom? This is really a penetration of light question regarding these lights.

Honestly brokenturtle. My plants were over three feet tall, and I trimmed my plants twice during their life. I had no penetration issues leaving the lights 6 inches away from the top canopy. The trich development was exactly the same. If you go back in my last journal you can see the bottom buds close up and they were full of trichs and dense! So I don't have an issue with penetration

Nice I notice no difference from bottom to too nug besides some slight density change. I actually think the lower ones may be frostier. Don't ask y lol it's my perception lol

Actually Kron, you are totally right! As you go lower on the plant the density does get smaller, but it did seem frostier at the middle/bottom part of the plant compared to the top colas closest to the light! I thought I was tripping, so I did not mention it!

Here are some pics three hours after lights out. When the lights are on the girls reach for the sky with their leaves. Right now they have droopy leaves because they are sleeping. Anyways, I will be flowering most likely on Friday because these bitches have been growing fast! I think they grow 1-2 inches a day at least because they are all at 20 inches tall. I will start flowering on Friday because they should be at least 22-24 inches tall by then. This time around I will count the day the girls actually start showing flowers as "Flower Day 1". So when I do flip to flower I will label the journal entry (Day 1 of 12/12) then eventually (Day 9 of 12/12 Flower Day 1). Anyways, enough of the chit chat. Here are some updated pics

So my lights just went off today at 1pm. I reset my timer to go back on at 7am tomorrow till 7pm to start my 12/12 cycle. Flowering will begin soon! I also was planning ahead for my next grow, and just bought 10 feminized seeds of Vanilla Kush. Once I get them in the next couple of weeks I will germinate them and throw them under my 300w LED so when these bubba kush are done, I can flower the Vanilla right away. Im hoping to cut down my harvesting time from 3months down to 2 months and harvest every 2 months. There were so many different strains of Kushes I was confused what to get. So I decided to look up cannabis cup winners and bought the 2009 Cannabis Cup winner- Vanilla Kush.

First off nice plants.....second, I would really recommend topping bubba kush....she is a notoriously low yielder........topping will greatly improve yield.......I have been growing Pre 98 bubba for a while now and l love it.....it's a hardy ,great tasting, good looking strain.......subbed to see some led bubba nugs : P

Every feminized seed ever produced comes from a Hermed plant and it carries hermetic genetics with it. Some are more stable than others. Some are inherently unstable.

Thanks for the advice! Send me a link to some of your Pre 98 Bubba so I can compare for my progress! I was going to flower at 22-24 inches, but I was set for friday 12/12. I measured this morning and they are 20-21 inches. WHat height did you flower? How tall did they get? Not excited about you telling me that it is a low yielder!

Well I guess this satisfies my daily goal of "learning something new every day". I didn't know that!

Some people claim sex can be reversed by colloidal silver or other chemical methods but all this does is produce male pollen sacks on female flowers aka Hermes. So any chemically or light induced selfing are really all the same. Some plants genetically are more sensitive to herm than others these are the fem seeds that u find hat herm a lot. Like reserva privadas sour kush aka headband notorious for hermin. Just be careful with FEM and watch for nannaers u can still get absolute gems from fem seeds. I just stead clear as a general rule but I do run some of the ones I really want
