Stanky, gassy and covered in red hairs, this strain has kick, but I'll probably grow CC again instead, considering the CC strain's different phenos are all a little more potent and the CC and LAC strains are just so similar.
The LAC buds were also not really as dense, except for the very top colas and even then they lacked the tightness that I got with the CC. Strong smoke, very stanky and gassy, with big head highs that come in little waves, but again - so similar but not quite as potent as the CC.
Love the line and I'm buying in even more next grow with Diamond Nectar. I underfed in flower, and my lights were a little high but with a minor change I expect nutes to be on point, now with Armor Si until mid-flower, DN all the way through, and LKB for more pk in flower when they show signs.
Awesome little 200w with a remote. Not worth a damn as a flower light, but perfect for Veg in a closet. I start indoors and when I flip to flower they go out into the shed, in the big tent under the MH. I can avoid the horrors of trying to grow out there in July and Aug, or Jan and Feb which means I don't need to use an AC or heater much. Costs for electricity have dropped significantly since I gave up on those 4 months and just veg inside with this little light.
Love this lights for my 3x4 and even if I upgrade to a 4x4. After moving my in-line fan out of the tent I had a ton of head-room this run, maybe too much. Disappointed with the amount of larf with 1 LAC so I'll drop the lights in flower about 6" down to 18" next time (from 24" this run).
LAC were topped less, and grew impressive dongs because of it. Quality genetics and a decent yields but I'm in it for the quality and as much as I like this strain, the Chem Cookies is very nearly the same strain (Chemdawg x GSC) with LAC (GSC x LA Affie) that I'd probably just grow CC again, and hope for more foxtailing, prob give her more light and food in flower, etc. The GMO pheno for CC is just too good and the regular pheno is still a little more potent than the LAC. Hung whole, dried for 9 days (shoulda been 8) and jarred after a 9 1/2 week run in flower.
Thanks! My last 2 grows seem to dry too quickly.
I dry in a shed but rh and temps are decent- 70-75F & 50-60rh. Even tried letting 1 plant go 6 days instead of 5 before trimming and the jar never climbed over 54% after. Is this normal- should I & how could I slow the dry down?
The ideal environment for drying is to try to maintain 60F and 60% humidity with a fan blowing air GENTLY around the buds, not directly at them. But that still is not going to guarantee a long drying period... airy buds, for example, will dry much faster than buds that are hard, dense rocks... When you jar them up, you can put in some Boveda 62 which will ensure the moisture content of the jar... you could try Grove Bags (they're great but too expensive for me)... I've never had a clue what humidity is inside my jars (although I DO use the Boveda when I can)... if my buds are too dry, I will put them in a ziplock bag with a slice of bread (like you would soften rock hard brown sugar)... some people use a leaf or two of lettuce... if they're too wet, I put them on a plate somewhere and let them dry out a bit more.
You're worried about the length of your drying - there's no "magic" number of days, believe me! I judge when the buds are ready to be jarred by gently squeezing them - they should be slightly spongy but not overly so... in time, you'll get to know the right feel.... that might take 4 days, it might take 7, it might take 10.... The drying time for my first grow was only 3 days... but the product was stupendous.... my most recent harvest dried in 6 days... the drying time does not affect the taste, only the smokeability... dry buds will be harsher and used up more quickly, wetter buds won't light as well nor keep going without re-lighting...
Good luck... I'd just suggest you not try to achieve absolute perfection - roll a joint and relax! :-D
a. Chop & hang the day I leave, ac dry in a tent for 7 days
b. A friend can water mid-week once
c. Water the day I leave but lights OFF for those 7 days
I prefer "c." for $ + safety (np running an ac for a dry tent but I'd like to cut the lights)
Any risks to this idea?
THANKS!
