This is my first round with my BRAND NEW LED-Lights from SANlight in Austria. I got myself TWO EVO4-120 fixtures for my HOMEBOX Ambient Q120 growtent, which has an area of 120 x 120 cm. The new EVO4-120 looks AMAZING, reminds me a little bit of a spaceship. I also got myself two magnetic dimmers for the LED-fixtures, so I can control the amount of light my plants get.
Then I went into my 'treasure-chest', where I keep my genetic gems I collected over the years and selected the strains I want to grow this cycle.
My good friends from CNNBS.nl recommended their SNEEZE (=Amnesia x White Widow) to me, which is produced by seedstockers.nl. Since the parents are two classic strains with copious amounts of trichomes, I am curious how 'white' this variety will come out.
My FAVORITE STRAIN OF ALL TIMES is THE PURPS from BC-BUD-DEPOT. It is a purple variety, which has the aroma and taste of grape jolly-ranchers and is simply DELICIOUS! I won the third place in the Sativa category of the HIGH TIMES CANNABIS CUP 2009 in Amsterdam with it and have grown this strain A LOT...therefore i know it well and it is ideal to see how well the NEW SANlight LEDs work.
SERIOUS SEEDS has a NEW PROMO STRAIN, which is called WHITE DELIGHT (=Mimosa x OG-Kush) and which I am very curious about, therefore i will try two of those seeds next to their classic SERIOUS HAPPINESS (= AK-47 x Warlock). The Happiness is an easy to grow strain, which ALWAYS delivers GREAT results, therefore I had to have it in my tent.
My treasure chest revealed some CHEESE seeds from BIG BUDDHA SEEDS, which are the ORIGINAL seeds from the HIGH TIMES CANNABIS CUP 2006, at which the Cheese won the Indica category and started its now famous legacy! Milo, the breeder from Big Buddha Seeds, gifted those seeds to me directly at the fair of the Cannabis Cup that year and I cant wait to smoke some ORIGINAL CHEESE again.
The BADAZZ-CHEESE (=CHEESE x BADAZZ-KUSH) is a collaboration of Ripper Seeds and Big Buddha and entails the BADAZZ-KUSH from Ripper crossed with the CHEESE from Big Buddha. This variety grows hard compact buds with an insane amount of trichomes, I cant wait to see her in flowering.
The STRAWBERRY SOUR-DIESEL from DEVILHARVESTORIGINAL SEEDS (NOT TO BE MISTAKEN FOR Devils Harvest Seeds, because its a split-off!) and the BIG CANDY from Mr. Hide Seeds have been recommended to me by a good friend, therefore I will give them a try as well.
All seeds are germinated in the 'Serious' Way' promoted by Serious Seeds. It is basically the wet paper-towel method, but instead of leaving the seeds laying on a plate, they are hung inside a plastic baggie, so the roots can grow out STRAIGHT of the seed. I use this methods since years and always have GREAT success with it, therefore I put a little video tutorial together of the germinating method, I hope it can help others.
@Compassionate_Gardener, Mahalo for your kind words, man! ๐ I loved this round with my new SANlight EVO4-120 lamps...they id an OUTSTANDING JOB! Aloha! ๐๐
@Compassionate_Gardener, Mahalo for your kind words, they are much appreciated! Yes, this grow WAS AWESOME and the BLUE MINT is a fantastic plant! ๐
@GrownwithLED, WOW...what an GREAT outcome! The buds look AMAZING...the amount of trichomes is INSANE, especially on the Blue Mint plant! Well done...GREAT job! ๐๐
Good looking Hydro setup! Nicely done! I have a few runs of Purps under my belt. Always see those GIANT leaves. Love the growth and taste of that strain! Enjoy! ๐
@LegacyMarketFarm, Hi, there! I find it to be AWESOME...simply THE BEST! She produces a sweet, grape-candy like aroma, that transcends into the flavor when smoked. You can taste it in the inhale and exhale...she taste sooooooooo DELICIOUS! Thats why she won several High Times Cannabis Cups. I can STRONGLY recommend her! Aloha, GrownWithLED.
@GrownwithLED, How did you find the terp profile of it ? I have always had interest in growing a batch of this strain. If you got the time check out my diary & follow my profile. Let me know what you think! Happy growing man
hey there,
Great set up you have got there!
Always curious about the Sanlight, they have plenty power for your growtent.
But I think you should hang them 20 cm higher and see how that works out !
I think you will like the results because as your pictures show they had a lot of light stress.
More is not always beter, myself bought recently a Telos 010 pro and it burned all my seedlings @ 120 cm,
I had to learn my ways around a quality fixture that's all.
Now? I'm loving it, not only in yield but special in the quality of the buds.
Be Well and grow it!
@SanderanderS, HI, there! Thanks for your kind words and also the tips about the lights. I had the SANlight EVO4-120 lamps dimmed throughout veg. and beginning of flowering, therefore I dont think they had light stress. After my plants showed yellowing and some crispy leaves I checked my ph-meter and calibrated it again. It was off by a full PH-point! That means I fed them with ph=5,0 instead of ph=6,0 and that brought my soil out of balance and the plants could take up nutrients anymore...
