ok guys so the Fastbuds Blackberry Kush is flushing out and finishing up. I will harvest her on day 57 which is this saturday because thats when i have time. i could honestly harvest her now with her all cloudy trichs but i want some more amber in there for a nice night time smoke. I added some molasses to her last feed to sweeten the buds up even more. i cant wait to taste these buds when they are fully cured, its gonna be a unforgettable terpine experiance! The buds REEK of grape jolly ranchers and some pine/menthol. MMM MMMM MMM!!!!
I'll get some pics of her Saturday before harvest and get them up when i get a chance after the harvest.๐
@Ted, since i have switched to them my plants have been bigger and healthier than ever. i HONESTLY think COBs and quantum boards will be the future of lighting for growing. once you learn your veg and flower distances with the COBs you will see 1-3" of growth a day strain dependent. im using Citizen 1818's and 1212's at 3500K 90cri running at 50W each in a 5x4 area
@Tripaholic88, just wanted to know if you like em? Ive used them for 2-3 grows but still not really sure if they perform better than my HS1s. I got 3 3500ks 2x55W & 1x100W....sometimes I think they are not that good for VEG.
Really nice work man! This purple tone its just amazing. How much liters of water did you give them ?? I thought 7ml of fertlizer was too much for an auto. I just bought all remo nutrients line and also got seeds of this blackberry strain. Any tip?
@CatnipGrower, oh man sorry that has to be wrong, it would be more inline with 1-2ml/l on them like the base nutes. its a nice easy grow with some tasty purple buds! good luck!
@CBD_Sweden, i did sow 2 seeds and the smaller one i ripped out of the soil and put in a 2 gal to see what would happen with the stress and that pheno had nice density 8/10 that started green but purpled up at the end and has a more fresh creamy blackberry smel that i actually favor so im hoping to grow out the (green) pheno next time.
What brand/ type of LEDS do you use. I've been using MH & HPS, but will likely switch to LEDS for better light penetration, efficiency, and longevity. Is there a brand(s) you highly recommend? Also I noticed you got a pretty large tent from your vids so do you use more than 1? And what size is your tent. I'm moving to a better location so I'm looking to upgrade.
oh yea @CAMOGROWN, Chemdawg or stardawg is a great one to put ya out! also girl scout cookies! all excellent choices especially if they get some ambering in flower when you harvest
@Tripaholic88,same bro anxiety ad insomnia is such a fucker to deal with until you wash is all away with a good smoke! I found bubble kush to be THE best for sleep issues, I end up falling asleep after 2 joints lol the auto chemdawg I've got going right now is supposed to be sedative as well but I'm a while off harvest yet :(
thanks @CAMOGROWN, im chomping at the bit to harvest this girl because she is definetly ready but i want it to really put me out when i smoke it for bed time for my insomnia issues
thanks @Nemobuds, purple strains tend to not be that dense but yet a more lose flower formation so im not expecting any serious weight but i should have some potent purple berrylicious buds to smoke here soon!
@Tripaholic88,sounds awesome im doing a colour strain but shes doing shocking at the moment I think it was jus a bad seed lol im running a stardawg on exact same stuff and shes doing well and my other is doing crap
Best cob actually are citizen clu 058 3500 k running on 2800ma meanwell 54v have 150 Watt, light its better than 4x cxb3590 running on 1400ma big penetration and plants well grow
yup i like my citizens but Luminous got the Luminus CXM22 that is just as efficient as citizen and cheaper @Amsterdam88, i think that may be my next fixture... but im sure they will be "outdated" technology and there will be better ones.... seems to happen every couple months at the rate COBS are developing and such
Nice one mate, i checked all your grows and i rate them 5/5 with my modest growing experience. What wonders me is does the terpinator make a good use to you and can you clearly spot the difference in tastes and smell between all your plants? I mean, does every girl got her own characteristic smell and taste? I am asking coz i got a comment on my insta from a guy claiming he did a side by side grow and realized it alters natural terpenes production and made his plants smell/taste the same - he said like terpinator..
@WhiteWidow, i really like terpinator and its not pricey which is great! and no all of my strains taste different.. terpinator just enhances/boosts their natural terpines and essential oils, and not adding additional flavors per say. give it a try!
