Having smoked some BB3 x MC, Lake of Fire, Tangerine Power, and Brooklyn Mango, all grown 12 / 12 FS, there's no doubt in my mind that potency is not affected by skipping the veg phase. Much less yield under CFL than HID of course, but still a zip per plant in a one gal pail in cfl [ 4 per tent ] makes for a fine low cost, low maintenance way of running through a bunch of beans in a hurry.

What size hid did the 315 of cfl replace? Did you notice a huge difference in temps?
Glad to see you back man and trying things.
Wonder how the cfls would do in a reduced flowering cycle.

The 2 x 3 tent always had 2 105 watt CFLs, but previously it was the veg tent for one of the bloom rooms, which I've shut down, keeping only the one 3 x 3 bloom tent w/ 400 W of sodium. So instead of moving them out after 4 wks of veg, I just put them in bloom at birth, and let them do their entire life span there, turning on the 3rd lamp when the flowering becomes vigorous.. The temps are about a third less than the halide, but the space is smaller.
My best guess, is that you'd have to have at least an equal amount of lumens if you went to cfl in your 6 or 8 hour cycle. I've never been a grow techie, but I don't think 400 watts of cfl would be significantly cooler than the same amount of halide.

Ya i always wondered about those guys that run so many cfls that the wattage is as much or more than an hid yet they think the temps will be better. I always thought the efficiency is what matters and more sources of heat the higher the temps.
I used cfls for vegging the first week or so but never tried to flower with em. I assume your right tho i would need way more than would be practical.

@Bad Karma - how about a smoke report on the grape ape you posted here a few pages back, por favor? I;ve got a couple grape smuggler girl clones about halfway through [ grape ape x faceoff og], and am considering keeping a mom.

You want a smoke report, you got it, amigo.
All of the following "clone only" strains were obtained from Dark Heart Nursery and grown out by yours truly.
Grape Ape
A very relaxing, take the edge off, kind of medicine. If you have any inflammation issues going on in your body, where tension can build up, Grape Ape will melt it all away. It's great for after work, before bed, or anytime you're getting a little stressed out. Definitely more of a body stone, than a head high, but you still feel it a bit in the head.
Her taste is the standard "purple" flavor associated with the Purple lines, like GDP, and Eurkle. I still wouldn't call it grape, but it is unique, enticing, and enjoyable. Her scent is wonderful, and intoxicating in it's own right, still not quite "grape", but non the less amazing. A floral, berry/grape-ish, skunk, blend.
The White
So very, very, resinous. That is the first thing that comes to mind when describing The White and those thick layers of resin make for some very good medicine. It's pretty potent, hitting the mind, and body, quickly. The White is a well balanced hybrid, giving you a powerful wallop, from head, to toe. I'd call it a mentally aware kind of couchlock, unless you over do it, then it's nap time.
She smells strong, but not sweet, or fruity. I'd describe it more as earthy, hint of onion, skunk. I wouldn't say that her taste was anything really specific, pleasant, but nothing noteworthy.
Thanks to all of that resin, she seems to just keep going, and going, when smoked/vaped. That's something I really appreciate and enjoy.
Platinum Girl Scout Cookies
I'd heard so much hype around GSC over the last couple of years, I was really interested to grow this one, and see how it turned out. I can honestly say it was the best of the bunch. I was really impressed. Just crazy, rock hard buds, easily the densest ones I've ever grown. You can tell why it's called platinum from just one look at the resin, so copious, and radiant. It was actual hard to get a good picture of the Platinum GSC for that very reason, as the flash kept reflecting too strongly off of the buds.
She's an absolute home run in the potency department. I felt a great head high, while my body was nice and relaxed, without any couchlock. It's a strong, functional, high. Some serious top shelf medicine.
Her smell, and taste, were on the spicy side. Kind of peppery, but with some sweet, floral, hints to it.
She smokes/vapes for a good, long, time, too, thanks to all of that gorgeous resin.

Much obliged, compadre - great job on the buds, and the report. What are you tending to in your garden now?

I've got two Ace of Spades (thanks amigo), and two Grape Ape x Platinum Cookies, going at the moment. I'm upgrading my garden very soon, in the next couple of weeks, so I'll show them off then. When everything is nice, new, and awesome looking.

Amen I just popped off on the GPS thread about that same thingI feel you bro. When you don't have to tend to them and figure them out its really no challenge but I don't think I could ever be bored seeing beautiful plants grow especially ones I can smoke the finished product and feel all warm and fuzzy insidedamn 7 zips from from 4 12/12 from seed plants is amazing just shows the power of hydro. I'm good bro hope you are too and appreciate the non hermie pics of Greenpoint Monster Cookie cross. Should help a lot of the haters see that you can still get great plants even tho people are reporting bad news. Shows that you can't take everything a person says about herms to the heart fareal. So many people don't even know all the possibilities why a plant can herm. Thanks again for the info

I haven't ran the Monster Cookies cross I have yet but from what I've seen of them they are fire. I understand dealing with Cookies anyway there's that chance for herm and nanners so it doesn't bother me. Seed runs aren't what you want to judge the plant by truly especially if you get a couple sacs or nanners. Some people cull those I run again to see but only stuff that doesn't full blown herm.
The ONYCD x Polar Beat OG is looking great. Very stinky in veg cant wait to see them finish. I've seen some pics and they get some nice color. Big and frosty too

What kinda smells/flavors is coming off that Kushberry?
Amos Otis
Well-Known Member
Not much smell, but I haven't jarred up any yet. The early smoke is excellent - much berry taste, and the stone hits hard and spacey in less than half a joint. I've sampled two joints...about to roll a 3rd.
