PlatinumLED Mars-Hydro comparison grow

nice better thanmy exp lol bought 5 seed 4 didnt germ one got 3 weekscin flower and stopped left it 10 more weeks (no idea why) never did a thing tho i got some more to try. But left it a while as it was a new release when igot them

 

I no longer carry it. Hey antics what is the max temp as of late.

 

Yeah. Hit or miss for sure. I got three strains. Hash Plant, Early Vixen, and Haze Extreme. The Hash Plant was a total bust. very weak genetics, I only took one of the 5 into flower, and it was pathetic.


The Early Vixen was good. Very easy to grow, decent yield, great smoke for anxiety, and two distinct pheno's.


The Haze Extreme was....interesting. It said 8-10 weeks to flower, lol. Haha! Try 16-18, lol. And the plants were all different. Some with more traditional bud shape, some with unreal foxtailing, and one, the keeper, I dubbed "Medusa", due to it's endless braids of calyxes that aim to take over your entire grow space, lol.
I also got 1 male and 4 females out of the 5 seeds I bought. Pretty good % for regs. The male I did get may be a really good father for breeding. It's pretty much 100% Haze, has a muck usually reserved for females, and forms extremely tight nodes. and vigorous like crazy. I've had to bonsai it harshly 4 or 5 times in 6 months. I'm just getting ready to cut some clones off of it to make some pollen. And Medusa is in re-veg.


Medusa





Medusa is THE best smoke I have ever had the pleasure to experience. I can't remember the last time I proclained any herb to be the "best" i've evr had. But this is! I can't overstate my appreciation for it's effects. It's an energizing buzz that gets you out of your chair and gets those creative thoughts flowing like red wine, lol. It does not, however, give you the slightest hint of paranoia. It has a surprising number of amber trichomes that level things out. As if that isn't enough, it seems to make those aches and pains fade away. It's relaxing, yet energizing.
This Pheno is 1 in 100, if not more. It's the stuff they used to make thai sticks with. It's just strings of calyxes, so you put'em together lengthwise and tie 'em together.







And this was the other one, it was a 14 weeker






So I, like you, came to the conclusion that their stock is altogether, unreliable. There is some good stuff in there, but it's impossible to know what you're getting. I wonder if there is someone out there who has recieved seeds for one of their strains from two different batches. What I mean is, you know when they sell out of a strain? Well I wonder if the batch of seeds that puts the strain "back in stock", is consistent with the previous batch?


PLaid

 

Wow PLaid, that plant is insane!?!? I can't believe how long it took to flower! I have a Thin Mint plant that'll be at 9 weeks tomorrow and it's killing me cuz it's my 1st plant I've ever grown, and from all my reading it seems the new growers tend to chop too soon. So I'm toughing it out and waiting haha, the trichs are about 80%+ cloudy. So I'm assuming a while left? I'm lost honestly, it looks and smells like nothing I've ever saw which is cool lol. So awesome watching it go from start to finish, I love it! Oh and that smoke sounds unreal, do you have any plans to run it again? Have a good one

 

Oh yes, I have plans to run it again as soon as re-veg is complete and I can cut some clones off of her. I also pollinated her with some Fem. pollen from the 20YKS, a local outdoor strain. I got 40 or so beans, making this my first cross, of sorts. The 20YKS finishes in 7 weeks indoors so If i'm lucky, i'll get a fast finishing, Haze dominant pheno. I should get a lot of variation. The 20YKS was very stable with Very little variation. The thai Haze on the other hand, well who knows what landracey genetics are in there, lol.



After 3+ weeks of Veg time after Harvest I saw the first Three fingered leaf on her. It first began growing more leaves that gradually got larger, but they were still looking like "bud leaves". The last leave or two grown on each shoot are very much "Veg Leaves".



July 9th, two days after pruning roots and re-potting. There are 50 or so beans on this thing.



July 26, cut off more "flowers", lol. You can see in the second pic new, larger leaves, but still not full veg leaves.




Today, Aug. 7th Nice new fully formed Veg. leaves. And down on the right side, the first three fingered leaf, =)




Soon soon

Sorry Antics,


It is my fault, I did not noticed that, there is a mistake. sorry for all . yeah, we will not sell that light anymore, too many same one on the market, it is not good for making products.

 

Can't believe I wasn't subbed up in this sooner.


Stoked to see results.

 

Good morning Antics. I caught up on your old thread, and found that you started the side-by-side. Super stoked for you brother! Everything is looking great brother!

 

Great update my friend.


I flipped both switches on one week before I flipped seemed to work well interested in you using both in veg.

My Platinums are pretty much just for bloom but still am curious about both switches on sooner. If it doesn't seem to help I'd assume leaving them off may save a few pennies

 

I'm wanting to order seeds but I'm not sure what site to trust. Can anyone offer any help? I'm looking for indica dominate strains that have high thc levels.

 

My favorite is cannazon.com. But the single seed center is great as well plus they take bitcoin

 

Thanks I'm going to check them out.. Do they accept credit/debit cards?

 

Also what do you guys know about galaxy hydro LEDs? Thinking about ordering one to save some money on LED.. Their expensive as hell
Sorry they're
