Status check on the 3x 5gal last night at Day 80/65/47.

JTR, Plemon and Blue Dream are good to go finally! They'll be pulled between tonight and tomorrow. The Blue Ripper and Blue Ripper x Blue Dream will get another watering tonight. Blue Ripper will come out Sunday for sure, the BR x BD could go a few more days.

Group shots, likely last pic with a full house:

Cheers bf, we got pink unicorns and everything going on in here - lol

Finally pulled the first 3 of the 3 gal’s last night at Day 66, will rough trim and chop tomorrow to dry by next weekend. Nice little haul from 3gal plants including the two smallest coming in. These, like the last couple of rounds had only super-cropping for training.

Remaining in the 3gal’s are the Blue Ripper and Blue Ripper x Blue Dream. They were given a regular watering, Blue Ripper will be done when it’s dry, the other one will get another watering to finish at around 12 1/2 weeks!

First up is the bonsai style Plemon. It’s produced better than I thought and was the smallest coming in. Has a lot of smaller tops but all heavy/drooping, particularly those two outside colas, both are flopping towards the floor. Very dense





Next is the Blue Dream. Not bad, it was relatively small as well, trained with 4 main colas that eventually flopped over under the weight. Besides the mains, it has a bunch of smaller but decent size buds in the center/bottom. Buds are solid.





Last but not least, JTR, just awesome. It was the largest coming in, first run for this pheno under the 3590’s. For the pot size this is the heaviest JTR I’ve pulled since I’ve been running it. For perspective the largest I’ve ever hit with this pheno was 3.7 zips in a 5gal container or .74 oz./gallon of medium vs. what’s looking like 1+ oz./gal. Really interested to get the dry weight on this one. Took a few extra shots of this baby For perspective, the door is 36”w and the door knob center is 37” from the floor.







Cheers

So much Yum. Very nice!

He does that yum very well, doesn't he?

Every once in a while you pull a pheno like that JTR and it makes all the effort worthwhile

And they keep on going, Day 78/63/45. All the 3 gal's were dry again and can handle a couple of more days so they all got a regular watering again. They'll go at least until Friday so I'll likely pull some on Saturday, as long as they're drinking they're growing

I notice on your last grow thinking with the lec 315's the flowering was much shorter. So the cobs take longer to flower with better quality/quanity?

Super nice Professor GroErr!

Not here they don't. It may be relative light intensity, spectrum or some other variable but for me the COB LED runs definitely finish faster than my 860W CDM Allstart lamps in magnetic ballasts.

I'm sharing this here in the hope that our experience is similar, or failing that we can isolate the relevant variable.

Yeah definitely longer, definitely better quality and quantity. That JTR has been pulled as low as 54 days under the CMH, Blue Dream normally 56-58.

I'm running 12.5/11.5 plus 10 minutes on each end for initiators (630/660nm & 730nm). Going to try 12/12, then 11.5/12.5 in the new year see if I can shorten down the time.

I am onto a thought that there is a correlation between how plants are fed in comparison to what type of light and spectrum they are under. And that this might be "part" of the missing link in what we all seek ultimately, which is the most effective/efficient way to grow the biggest and best quality buds we can.

I'm trying to prove/disprove my hypothesis that my high light intensity levels are a proximate cause of the phenomenon. I've been told my COB LED rack is probably pushing over 1000 PPfD, which might explain a lot.

You'll have some help soon with the new COB bars pushing 300W+ each

I am curious what they will do for you so will be watching.

My change in medium recently has made a much larger impact on my grow than any change of lights ever did. I try to tell people the lights are important, and they can be dialed in, but you need to have the rest of the environment dialed in too and the light source is but part of the picture.

That makes sense, was wondering how much that factor plays into it. This run was extended by a few days but was also running at ~25-28w/sq. ft. The back may finish faster, smaller area and will have more like 30-35w/sq. ft. once all the 3 gal's are pulled. The Blue Ripper F2/P5 is looking pretty mature at 48 days, about the same as it's previous run.

Just checked and the Plemon first run from seed ran under the COBs but at a higher w/sq./ft. and was pulled at Day 57 vs. this one at Day 66. This may have some merit.

That said, if I have to wait a few days extra for the level of quality and quantity I'm pulling out of there right now, so be it

We need to track down the happy medium between just enough and too much light regardless of what "type"
