Update day 36.
Hi growmates ! Unfortunately due to some connexion problems i am a couple of days late on my update.
Things are going well this week, the plants are healthy and super frosty π I also made friends with a hornet living in the grow room, but unfortunately i didn't trust him and killed him..
I started the flush end of last week on the cali indica under the COB. She is a really fast flowering phenotype. She should be ready at day 50. I will also be starting to flush most of the girls next week.
The gorilla under the HPS is amazing, she will not be a heavy producer at all, but having been able to taste some " Real " gorilla glue abroad she is the closest i have ever seen to the " real " thing.. Super dense, super sticky with a very pungent citrus diesel aroma. Amazing genetics from Dinafem ! There gorilla is usually really good but this phenotype is off the chart !!
I tried to take the best bud shots i could, unfortunately its complicated to get all the plants out the room and take photos of all the girls.. i will do a big update of all of them before harvest though.
Update of COB vs Viparspectra : The COB is definelty more of a heavy producer, better light penetration and best overall quality but after growing a few times with the viparspectra i have come to realize that the viparspectra makes very dense buds, like rock hard everytime. If anyone has an explanation let me know π
Until next week,
Happy growing everybody ππ₯¦
Seems this grower has already Waxed many cars :P Wax on Wax off. Very impressive Sir. I bet you can't wait to Karate Chop this XD Oh god this isolation is going to my head. Looking awesome pal. Best of luck for the imminent harvest :)
@TheUk420Show, Same here, most of the time i use clones from my mothers collected over the years. Well, i have no light leakage or stress problems that i can think of, so i am going to put it down to a unstable phenotype.. only had a few bananas late in flower. But was not prepared to take any risk. Happens from time to time with fem seeds unfortunately. But oh well its all part of the fun haha π
Man that gorrila looks like its about ready for the judo chop ? one or two more weeks ? Dang sensei show me the way :D :D. A question for you ? Do you start counting the weeks after you change the light cycle or do you start to count the weeks from when you see buds on the plant ? both lights have formed nice looking buds :)
@TheUk420Show, Yeah not long now ! Going to give here about 10 more days, think i will take her down around 50% amber trichs. Going for the KO π Hahahaha. I have always started counting 7 days after switch π Thanks man ! I have been using HPS for about 15 years and was septic about going to LEDs, its quite new too me, but im glad i did ! Will be changing all the lights for next grow !
Good stuff...Love seeing diaries that put things to the test. I started off on a cheap LED. I never actually harvested a grow from it so I'm keen to see how it performs.
@Mospeada, Thanks bro ! To make it simple, the cob leds have much better penetration into the canopy, greater quality end product and better harvest weight. IMO The viparspectra 600w LED is great for getting into leds and is just fine for 1 or 2 plants maximum in a 80x80 growtent using hst, lst or scrog technique. It's good for the money ! Will be showing some comparaison photos on saturday π Not very fair due to being seeds and not clones but its makes the point. Happy growing π
