Its all about the taste and getting that grab on the front of my brain that comes from homegrown. The onyx is the pictures that only show a single nug. It yielded 20.5g most of which was gifted to friends and fam. The smoke was tops even though the yield kinda sucked, very spicy. See pic of the onyx bowl I smoked before I wrote this.
Black Briar pics are the hanging buds. I managed to bleach the top of the top nug cause I had her too close to the leds, but other than that it turned out (haven't smoked it going by looks) almost equal in avg hid yield but the buds were way frostier than usual. Pistils also grew out further before retreating back into the buds.
Next crop will be much improved not that I've more or less figured out how to run these leds. The nute uptake is a bit slower. Don't know of thats because they don't run hot like hid or if it has anything to do with spectrums. Bought grow bags at my local hydro shop and was also given a free sample of gravity nutes which will be added to the next crop. Grow bags are better for led than the pots I'm using now, smaller in diameter but same capacity allowing to better use the directional nature of the lights.
Also, even though I've defended and advocated its use before - fuck some miracle grow. I picked up some Fox Farms Ocean while I was getting the pots.
MI-5, Sweet Carmel Cream, Santa, & Smurf Berry will be the next four autos I grow. I wish I knew how to make fem seeds of the auto I bred, just hate growing male plants when I only have a small garden.
We'll see about the super cali haze. I've got the house to myself this weekend and can finally get around to transplanting. It hasn't responded to what I suspected would be appropriate nutes and flushing.
To get feminized seeds, just don't harvest your girls. Eventually, some will hermy and pollinate themselves and the others. The resulting seeds will be "feminized" seeds. Don't use the seeds from the girl that hermied, the offspring will be more likely to hermie, and sooner, than the others. Cloning would be more efficient, tho. I'm watching your grow with interest.
