3 Kings -- Coco & LED

Thanks Jubiare! I'm not sure really since I've never done the same strains under led an hps. When I grew from seed, both autos and photo, the photo finished right on schedule with what the breeder said but the autos took longer. The rest were just clones that I had been basing off what the dispensaries tell me (always 8 weeks) which I never really trust especially for a strain like 3 kings. I figured sativa dominant should get a little more. The FD finished up at right about 8 weeks. I think it's mostly strain dependant. I would imagine panels with uv/ir might not experience longer finishing times than those panels without, but just a guess?
cool thanks. So I assume advanced has the uv/ir/whites and you don't supplement with other lights. It's good to know other experiences on this, as there is some controversy about this extended flowering thing ;)

Yeah I've heard people saying their led grown plants will take longer than if grown under hps. I'd like to know more about that because I'm wondering if it's an intensity thing or a spectrum thing...any ideas? I'm assuming my panel has all those spectrums since theyre advertised but we all know we can't believe everything we're told by led companies. I do actually supplement with one or two 15w far red spotlights, but haven't really used on a set schedule, just kind of turn them on randomly.

what up puff how goes it man , how the girls coming along still doing good i hope , cheers man :D
Yo curly, how's it growing? I have to say, the plants are just about calling it quits. Starting straight flush tonight. Will be flushing for a week or so. The smell is amazing, very reminiscent of sour d. Super anxious to get this one cured. Wish I had a mother to keep the strain alive. Hope to come across it again someday. Highly recommended but not for beginners. It definitely had some stubbornness early on and some sensitivities late. But if executed it is a genuine beautiful plant all around. By the way curly, just checked out your thread and your girls are looking very nice, keep it rockin

Need some opinions and advice for my next round. I've been growing 2 plants at a time in 3g pots and have been getting +2 ounces per plant. I'm wondering since I've never flowered in any containers smaller than 3g, what do you guys think about doing either 3 plants in 2g pots or 6 plants in 1g pots? I'd like to think I would still be able to pull the same total yield if not more. What would you guys do and what would be your target yield per plant per container size? Thanks.

Thanks Dawg! Harvest will be in less than a week. Initial smoke report a few days later, cure for a good month, then happy days!

lies! all lies!
Haha my bad psy! I actually tried to get some decent pics of them hanging out to dry but all the pics I took didn't turn out good enough to post. Will get some trimmed and manicured pics up.

Soooo...sorry for lagging on the updates...but there really hasn't been much to tell. The FD is curing, haven't weighed it yet. Looks a lil dissapointing though because they had a lot of late troubles (nearly dying from major stem breakage, long story...and being flushed too soon, etc) but smells great and looks good too, just didn't bulk up to my likings. Yeah, im a little sad about it but my excitement for the 3Ks is more than making up for it. They've been flushing for a week, but now I wish I would have given nutes a couple more days. Will check them again tonight but thinking another day or two before I put them in the dark for 48-72 hours before cutting them down.

very cool puff , do you notice a big difference when you put them in the dark for a few days before chopping?

The FD. Curing in jars. Pretty smooths smoke. This was basically done at week 5...not by choice. In the process of temporarily moving them, both FD plants' main stems nearly snapped in half. They were still barely connected by fibers. Tried to do some repair work and doctored them up with splints, and kept flushing them for another week or two. But they basically didn't get any fatter and immediately started turning orange. Nugs are dense, like surprisingly dense. Would love to re-grow this strain in the future to get it's full potential out of them. Recommended? Yes!

^^^ L I K E ! ! !

thanks puff bout time lol but yeah that looks like some sweet ass smoke, and nuggs are nice and dense... skunky like the super skunk side? or more tropical/grapefruit like many review seem to indicate? funny... the purple star side sounds like its more diesel/chemical in reviews... lol anyways... bravo!

Yo curly! I don't know if I notice a big difference but I have adopted the dark days preharvest method a long time ago and felt like it makes at least a little difference. I notice the trichs tend to pop out more. Could just be a placebo effevt for all I know. It definitely doesn't hurt them though.

sup psy? Finally got the pics up. Thanks for the kind words, actually relatively happy with them considering what happened to them. the smell is more tropical than skunky, very similar candy-like smell from other purple strains like grandaddy. Like I said, definitely a recommended strain. If you haven't yet, look up frisian dew outdoor plants to see some beautiful beasts and what the strain can do outside.

Also picked up the new clones for the next round. Decided to go with more plants in smaller containers. So far I have 4 clones in 2g smartpots for the new match instead of doing 2 plants in 3g pots. Im renting out my 180 extreme flower (over the FD this round) so i'll just be doing the diamond + h350 this time around. I might pick up 2 more clones for a total of 6 in 2g pots. Right now the strains are True Blueberry and Hash Passion. If I get two more I'll either get one more of each or a diff strain. New journal and pics coming soon!
