Quantum Trainwreck

@TheFairyBudMother, I believe they are underrated and for no reason. I have buddies who've done comparison grows side by side. Same Strain, Same nutrients, Same Lighting and one of the grows they lollipoped the bottom of the plant and in the other grow they let the plant just grow. They achieved 20% more flower in the end from not lollipopping their plants. Lolipopping the lower branches of your plant is only effective and needed if you don't have light penetration to those areas. I'll post pictures tonight when my lights come on to show how the light is having no trouble reflecting off the mylar and directly reaching the lower areas of the canopy. If light is hitting a solar panel there is no reason to disconnect the solar panel. (Though thats a bad analogy because solar panels are only as effective as the worst functioning unit in the sequence, but i digress) If they get hit with light they'll yield good buds. Now if we are talking about tertiary and quaternary branches beneath the canopy that are only receiving reflective light and not direct light it might be prudent.

@DabCrab, popcorn nugs are highly underrated.

@DabCrab,ok I understand.

@TheFairyBudMother, Samesies :D I may need to change my ducting around later in flower so that everything is only going through one tent because I am noticing a little residual smell when my automatic glade sprayer runs out of juice. Other than that it does wonders. The smell isn't of utter dankness though, just smells like plants. It could be corn, strawberries, or the most fire nug in a baby tent you've ever seen. Good luck getting your ducting setup! Zip ties will be your new best friend. Cheers!

@DabCrab, I just ordered filter/fan/ducting. The odor is kind of like when you get near a dispensary. It's my favorite smell but I'd rather not advertise my new hobby.

@TheFairyBudMother, I'd say go for it buddy, it works wonders in our house. You'll notice the smell vanish!

@AlaskanGrownCaliRaised, Don't get me wrong, you should totally trim your girl up a bit. I just have a very different idea of how thats done than what I see a lot of people do. Around day 20, if you have anything that isn't showing pistols or any kind of resin glands on it you should trim those off. Thats honestly where I take most of my baby clones from if I have forgotten to take some prior to flowering. This time there won't be any need for that as I will be discontinuing my use of The Quantum Kush and Ia buddy has a rooted Trainwreck mom that if I would like to take clones from I may whenever I wish in the future.. Things that aren't flowering aren't needed on the plant. Anything that is flowering you should always keep. Those are were the good .3 - .5 nugs are found :D. You just have to 'talk' to the plant. She'll always tell you exactly what she wants and when she wants it. My future diaries will all be custom strains from this day forward. You'll get to see them made here.

@DabCrab, two word Bag Appeal. The only reason I see fit to do it at this point. I'm going to let them go next time and not trim up the lower section.

@AlaskanGrownCaliRaised, I would like to state that I don't consider anything that comes out of my mouth to be knowledge or fact; only personal experiences that have taught me a thing or two. Everyone has their own preferences. If you cut everything off the plant it's not hard to deduce that what you don't cut off with grow larger and thicker. Thicker and larger buds on the plant don't always mean higher yield though and it's a common misconception that it does. When you grow an 8 ft plant with a massive wide canopy if you lollipopped the whole thing you'd be losing a 1/4 to a 1/2 pound of popcorn nugs. It's more efficient to supplement lighting and make sure the plant grows as it wants to. You'd never see an outdoor grower lollipop their plants lower half so if you can achieve par lumens on the lower canopy why wouldn't you keep you? You dig mate?

@DabCrab, thanks I just read and apply 😂. Although this 14h light in flower with IR burst scares me but it's almost gotta work. I'm in northern hemisphere about even with Humboldt County if flowering starts August 1 that is a 14h day here. September 25 is the 12/12 day here (this year). Since a 10w plant finishes mid October. What do you think about it?

@Tazard1, I've seen your journals and I'm a huge fan of the way you are doing things :D Your tent is nice and you've done a great job keeping the temperature down for all those lights being in there. Those plants clearly love the spectrum you are giving them :D

@DabCrab,wonderful 👍 They're really nice and frosty 👌

@JUNGLE_B4RNS, I got you mate. Posted for you. They are a little hazey because it's hard to get good lighting in the area. I hope that helps :D

@Teamdirtbag2, Thats what I'm saying. He's just being a huge creep ball trying to start drama. He needs to go away.

@Tazard1,yes BigBri420 has one

@Tazard1, They appear to be a very interesting combination of hardware. I'm going to have to check them out. I'd love to see what you do with one if you decide to buy one :D

@DabCrab, this is advertised as a ceramic HPS. http://www.eyehortilux.com/products/ceramic-hps.aspx

@Tazard1, The technology has certainly come a long way even in the last few years alone. I can't wait to see what comes after COB's. Maybe Super COBS!!!!

@DabCrab, yeah these are 145+/-5w even with dual cooling fans.

@Tazard1, I've always admired Mars Hydro products. They do a good job and have a wide range of options for whatever your needs may be. Viparspectra are my poison at the moment. Gotta love a 300W light that averages 136W of power use. I bought these when they were the first people really using 5 watt diodes. http://ledgrowlightguide.com/viparspectra-reflector-series-review https://www.estagecraft.com/viparspectra-reflector-300-watt/ https://www.420beginner.com/viparspectra-300w-led-grow-light-review/ ^^^ A few reviews of them Now there are many people doing much different things like higher wattage diodes and even the new Chips on board technology (COB's). Once the life of these runs out I'll probably be building myself a COB light just to see for myself what all the hype is about. They've done wonders in a few of my friends gardens so I can't wait to try them out myself.

@JUNGLE_B4RNS, There just aren't enough good problems in growing. I'm happy to have one of them. The goal is to achieve the most from such a tiny space. I'm hoping to do that. We shall see :D

@DabCrab,yeah I see what you mean, it's a good problem 😄

@JUNGLE_B4RNS, Every time I open the tent they fall out. They are literally being supported by the negative pressure on the tent walls. It's a good time for sure :D

@DabCrab,do they say that in America ?

@Teamdirtbag2, I got you fam :D

@DabCrab,👍👊

@Tazard1, I currently have no side lighting yet; As for the heat from the 3 LED's, my air filtration system seems to keep things perfectly at 75 Degrees Fahrenheit. Thanks for asking :D

@DeepRoot3d, Thanks buddy. This was just a trial run on me being lazy while also trying something new. Should be fun the next time I really go for it. I learned a lot this time through. Thanks for the kind words :D

@GardenOfHerbs, Yeah, the problem was that the temperature never went above 75 degrees F. She's just such a sensitive plant that it could have been a multitude of problems. Every forum I've read on Trainwreck says that everything can cause her to foxtail. Having the Par be too high can even cause it which is just surprising to me.

@BigDaddyK, Seeing as that'd be a federal and international crime, no. Plus I only smoke with chill people.

@DabCrab,so would you send me some ?

@BigDaddyK, You are aware I live in a legal state and I comply with all my states laws right? You however do not.

@Teamdirtbag2, Lol, I'm thinking anything with a higher megapixel camera will do a better job. I'm working off of a lowly 8MP phone camera. Soon it shall be much better :D

@DabCrab, Bro your pics are beautiful... Can they get nicer ??? I don't think there's any Room for improvement.

@Teamdirtbag2, Thanks Brett. Soon I shall have a new and better camera for nicer close ups and pictures.

@DabCrab, do you have issues during intraweekly updates with units changing (i.e. Inches to cm or ml/g to ml/l)?

@Tazard1, I've noticed that you have to pay a heck of a lot of attention to the input system here to make sure things are adequately depicted in your journals. I just want to make sure things are correct or as correct as they can be so people know exactly what I am doing.
