C99s: Finished pre-flush, changed out to pH’d and hydroguarded flush water; most tops untied for final few days.
Yes, EZ-Store buckets that come in 8 or 13 gallon size. Here is a couple of places to get them at the lowest prices I found (for the 8 gallon): EZ Store EZ Store Container/Bucket 8 Gallon - GrowLife
OD2 just becoming an absolute monster. There's a branch on the left side with 7 or 8 colas on it that is getting weighed down pretty well - leaning on the screen post on the left of the lid. Scoped them even though the pistils are still mostly white - probably 5-10% cloudy at this point. Colas feel pretty firm though - hopefully they still finish in the next 10-12 days...
Some pre-bud porn, these girls still have 6+ weeks of flowering to go! The top two are Strawberry Cough and the bottom two are Girl Scout Cookies Extreme. The GSCE buds have a beautiful purple hue, pics do not do it justice:
did the hrvst this morn..the bud is very fluffy frm the heat.....just hope i can get a decent high off it..smokin leaf till it dries to lower my resistance..likely its gonna be pretty lame high..
More goodies arriving today, update later. Expect to do some harvesting this weekend, prep tent afterwards for diesels and hazes which will flower under extreme conditions.
Will be adding these two HLG qb-35 lights to my setup: Two qb-18 strips, each one along with a driver (below) makes up the qb-35 product. Each strip has 6 red, 8 deep red, and 4 far-red diodes, used to boost photosynthesis via “emerson effect”. I’ll be trying them out in flowering the diesels and hazes. They provide this spectrum:
Very nice, it will be quite interesting to see how much and what kind of a difference they make (and you are the perfect person to ascertain that given how many flowering cycles you have gone through), especially since no one on the HLG site has reviewed them yet. What will your placement be for these thin light strips, above the plants next to the Timbers, or on the sides? Because these are for the Emerson Effect and not to induce a quicker sleep cycle, how long do they need to be run each day?
Current plan is to put them in between 48sams, on either side of t-5 uva-b and far red bar. When i have harvested the cindys, i’ll test qb-35 ppfd (should only be able to measure the red and deep red diodes b/c far red is outside par zone). Once i know ppfd, will dim planned ppfd of 48sams by ppfd of qb-35s, run them same daylength as 48sams.
Wondering if any of you have heard of this company and their products: https://chilledgrowlights.com/our-p...chilled-connect-960w-controllable-diy-package The controller system is nice and seems to offer as many or more options for running the lights as Kind's do (for example has a built in set-up for running far red at lights out). Pricing for the 960 watt DIY system is comparable to Timber and the reviews I found were very good but not exactly numerous, what have you all heard about ChilLED?
