What's up GC? Hope everyone who reads this is doing well. So let's see what we have going on here... Strain: LA Confidential by DNA Genetics (feminized) Origins: OG Affie x Afghan Type: 100% Indica. Super Indica Phenotype: It's said that there are 2 phenos of this strain; one very bushy, the other more leggy, with slightly larger internode spacing. I have the bushy phenotype. Regardless of the phenotype, the LAC requires a long vegetative time. It's not a high yielder, but it's uniqueness and quality smoke supposedly make it well worth the grow. Alright, let's keep going... Grow Conditions Vegetative Lights: (1) 4ft,4tube T5 with 6500K bulbs (20,000 lumens) Flowering Lights: (2) 4ft, 4tube T5 with 3000K bulbs (40,000 lumens) Setup Type: DWC Nutrients: Lucas Formula.. (FloraMicro and FloraBloom) Water: Tap water (145ppm from tap) PH: 5.7-6.0 I also have a scrog going on under a 600 HPS, but they are different strains. Due to the LA's slow veg process, I decided to just flower it solo under my T5's. 40,000 lumens to one plant should be very nice. If anyone wants to scrog her, expect a 10+ week veg time (unless from clone). My LAC has currently been vegging for about 6 weeks. Here it is as a seedling. It is indeed a slow vegger, at least for the first couple weeks. But don't let its size fool you, she is a huge feeder. At week 6, she is currently at 1030ppm and loving it... Below are some pics. Pic1: Her at about a month veg time Pic 2: Current photo of her Pic 3: Current photo of her roots. Look at what only using 2 bottles of nutes does! Havent done one rez change on her yet As this is a very bushy pheno, I am doing some mild LST and very selective pruning/thinning. It's somewhat difficult with the LST due to her lushness. I also noticed that her branches became more flexible over the last 2 weeks. She kinda had stiff branches in the beginning. I also topped her once. More updates to come right before I throw her into flowering..in about a week. Looking forward to a 7-8 week vegged LA Con under 40,000 lumens of T5's.
My scrog is in it's second week of 12/12. Will post a couple pics of that as well once the buds start forming. There aren't a ton of LA Con journals on the web, so Im trying to be as specific as possible. If anyone has any questions, please ask. And I always appreciate feedback.
Sub'd man! I was talkin to a friend out in Cali a few months ago and he said LA Confidential is one of his new favs. Like to see how this turns out.
Thanks, I'm looking forward to it as well. Have heard nothing but positive things on the smoke. Here's some history on this strain's ancestry.. 1965 First reports of C. afghanica use for hashish production in northern Afghanistan Late 1960s - Early 1970s The Brotherhood popularizes Afghani hashish. 1970 - 1973 Huge fields of Cannabis cultivated for hashish production in Afghanistan. Last years that truly great afghani hashish is available Early 1970s Afghani hashish varieties introduced to North America for sinsemilla production. Westerners bring metal sieve cloths to Afghanistan. Law enforcement efforts against hashish begin in Afghanistan A lot of people think LAC is half OG Kush, but it's not. OG Kush is a North American sativa hybrid with the Afghani lineage. LAC is supposedly a pure Afghan variety. Kush itself originated in the Middle East. Afghan cannabis/hashish growers would select the finest, most potent looking plants in their crops in order to produce the finest Hashish. Anything that is truly "Kush" would be one of the selected plants. Unfortunately now everything is called kush. I've even seen someone growing "Obama Kush". So I'm hoping that its low-average yields, but super potent genetics live true to its heritage.
Bump. I know we aren't to the good stuff (bud porn) yet, but seriously no feedback on such a beautiful strain?
I'm sub'd! can't wat to see how these ladies fill out. Little disapointed though, just went on DNA genetics website and they don't ship to the US . would love to try out some of those strains. Keep up the good work!
Yeah I donno about that website, but Attitude has never let me down. Im actually surprised at how quality their service is. But beyond all that, I appreciate anyone who wants to follow this grow, but please no shout outs. There's enough of that all over cannabis forums
awesome la con is defin one of my top three fav strains i have some la fem i hope i have your phenotype in there(six pack)..wont know until i get some room in my veg closet to grow these girls...in the little DNA vial thing only got one dark tiger striped seed in there and one dark colored seed..the others are light colored i hope they are good...cant wait to see how yours comes out
Yeah the smell right now is pretty strong/amazing in veg. Just a quick update. Im planning on putting it into 12/12 by this weekend. It's about all my patience can take. So it will be about a week shy of 2 months veg. Pics to come in a few days
Sup OP?? Im growing LA con right now under 1000 watt scrog and it looks nothing like your picture. Is it suppsosed to turn purple?
