Hey thanks JD, I was kind of blah about that JTR because it looks like a runt now compared to these 2 Blue Ripper in the 7gal's but when I pulled it out last night I was like hey, that's a 3+ oz. plant! Never expect much out of the Harlequin but it's damn fine smoke, probably 2 - 2.5 zips but fire
Cheers giggles, I wish it were more often, down to about 4 week cycles, but in between there's always something to do like sift, caps, breeding
Trying a few seeds for a male JTR x BB again right now, hoping for at least one male!
I've found it depends on the original material. The strongest to-date have been those 160mg I referred to which were a mix of JTR + Blue Dream sift for the starting material. I'm 220/6'4' and at 160mg those were ridiculous, I was cutting them in half which was a good stone for a few hours and down for a good sleep. However, I just ran a batch of 100mg and 50mg, from mixed "Ok" material and they're much less of a punch. The 100mg get you stoned for the night but not crazy, good body stone for a few hours + a good sleep, very mild head buzz for a couple of hours. The 50's are for my GF when she needs a good sleep, she doesn't like feeling "stoned" and they worked well for her. Going forward I'm going to track the punch for different strains, then adjust the dosage accordingly by batch/strain as it seems to make a big difference. Cheers...
Hey @psuagro, thanks, those 2 big one's are looking killer
No bulb changes, planning on changing them every 2 years unless I notice any significant drop in output, haven't seen any reason to change them out yet. I did swap out the 315w for 210w last round to use over 2x 5gal as I thought the 315w was overkill. The 210w did just fine covering the ~2x2' footprint. Back to 2x 315w bulbs as the new batch should stretch into ~ 3x3'.
Should end up massive once they stretch. I can see already that I'll need to add some bamboo poles to support the 4ft colas For perspective, I put a Coors Light can between the 2 pots...
A li'l sun this past week and they doubled-up! The scary part is they have 4 weeks or so of veg left before they start pre-flowering/stretch
I may need bigger pots... lol
Thanks and cheers Bob, sounds like you're feeling better and getting your grow back on track, keep it up!
Yea, i was felling better untl i wasn't.
how does your camera have an IR function??Camshots at Day 39/Day 10. Lights-on last night and lights-off (IR shot) this morning. As you can see from the IR shot, colas are stacked and fattening up. Although they're just coming up to week 6, they look more like week 7 in maturity, some of the colas are starting to lean and had to tie some back to the trellises. Hairs have started turning brown already and buds are already feeling tight/dense which tells me the light coverage is good, even at almost 3x4' footprint. The 2x 3gal Blue Dream and 1x 7gal Blue Ripper at the back have caught up in height to the first batch. One of the Blue Dream's stretched quite a bit so I bent 3 of the colas down, they'll bounce back up in the next few days and even up the canopy. Those already have flowers popping through, they started showing up at Day 8. Not seeing any downside to having the 630/660 reds before lights on and 730nm after lights out, only thing I've observed is they're maturing fast and a little more stretch than usual, particularly the Blue Dream's.
