Growing it
Easy
Resistance
Strong
Very easy and strong one, would recommend for beginers and for experienced growers if they look for a plant you can't kill, I've tried ;) Curing some buds for one months now - flavor is develops from piney more to tropical, which I like. Hit is very relaxing and makes fun chatting with friends. Cool for most casual works and hobbies, nice for walks. Not always good conditions but good light, fertilizers and a lot of air for the roots did their jobs good, still I am very amazed by capabilities of this strain, Barney's farm delivered what was advertised.

Reviews. Nutrient
I only followed dosages suggested by GHE, no experiments, and it went very well! Afaik we didn't have any serious nutrient related issues in this grow. It was good for me as a newbie to have a small and workable set of fertilizers! I am also quite satisfied with GHE waterfarm - some critical things have to be considered and it would profit by some small and easy mods but it is a nice, easy and reliable tool to start hydro-farming!
Reviews. Lamp
My absolute favorite! I don't have much to compare but I am rather happy about it. Top quality materials, low heat, very good spectrum which makes plant happy.
Reviews. Tent
It is sufficient but not top quality materials. Beside of that, very good construction, useful accessories, a good choice for mid budget.

I continued to flush her for couple of days. Checked trichomas - top albinos had approx. 40% amber and lowest flowers still had 10-20% of empty. I decided to give her 24h of dark desert and cut her next morning. Left her hanging as whole plant upside down one day. Removed some of side colas from main plant and hung in separate tent. Had to run my AC daytimes and both dehumies 24/7 at first to keep humidity under 62%. After couple of days could keep stable 48% only with dehumies. Sugar leaf trimming, two weeks daily! Yes, yes, very meditative activity... Discovered and removed some new molded spots, probably catch them in first days of drying. Not much but hurts. The wet weight mentioned above represents "wet" weight of colas after one week of hanging. No idea how heavy was the whole bush right after I cut it. Almost 15g of white buds. I leave them cure for all 3 months before testing. I don't expect to much difference - OK, no chlorophyll, other pigments maybe it will be a bit smoother, let's see. Big respect to the biz for being so close to us, customers. Lot of thanks to GD for this place and all that plus ocean of love to the community for your feedback, advice and being inspiration for all of us! Peace all

Currently I only got 2 x 50W / 5000K flood lights for veg and approx 150W / 2700K later for flowering. Both LED. Planning to keep lights close to plant - 35-45cm. Do you think its going to be sufficient or should I get professional lights asap?

Dude I use led bulbs and they work great. The issue you have in your setup is that your light is more appropriate for a 2x2 tent (60cm x 60cm). Keep in mind that for veg you need 25 to 30 watts per sq ft at least and for bloom 30 to 40 watts per sq ft. IF you really want to take advantage of your DS 90 tent, you need like 250 watts for veg and 350 watts to 500 watts for bloom (I'm giving you rough numbers)

Hi all! I am using Waterfarm from GHE and I have set it up so the pump goes on and off at same time with the lights. Is this timing OK or is it better to just run the pump 24/7? I have no experience in hydroponic yet.

That is a drip system. In my experience, they're meant to run continuously. It's run by a simple air pump so running it 24hrs a day isn't going to use much electricity. Don't turn it off.

Found 2-3 fungus gnats in growbox. Growing Hydro. Have/know no adequate product against them. Installed sticky papers but of what I read on net - it doesn't help (larvas). Your suggestion please! I have good range of products to choose from, would appreciate your recommendation!

Simply spray pyrethrum over the soil of your plants or on the roots if you are growing hydroponically. This treatment should be repeated about twice a week for 3-6 weeks to ensure all the hatched larvae have been killed. Hopefully, I answered your question and remember Happy Growing and Free your mind one puff at a time.

Hi all, new leaves on top of highest colas shoot out completely albino white with small green dots. Later they become green, still with a white stripe/spots in the middle of leaf. What could it be, how do I read it? Thanks in advance and happy grow!

That is led light bleaching...no good for the plant. Basically the chlorophyll is all gone from the tops and they'll turn rock hard and become unusable. Looks pretty but is bad. Look up weed tops bleaching in Google for what to do 👍👊

Aha, funny, never saw anything like that. It look like the little white chocolate piece decorating a beautifull cake ^^ I vote for albinism as said by @blackListed, just because the other suggestion (deficiency) make no sense to appear on top of apex, without appearing anywhere else. Genetic thing. I'm curious to know how this will turn after harvest and after getting curred :) I'm following this !
M420_GROWS
M420_GROWScommented4 years ago
@PurpleWorship, right, albinism rules! I think it might be not only genetics because they started to appear as I have played with lamp distance (approx 15cm) and they appear only on the highest colas. I guess it had to do with light. I also changed light schedule from 18 to 20, maybe a trigger as well. And yes bro, I am also soooo curious what it will be when she ripe and cured :)! Happy Grows!!

Hi bro, i think this white ends could be magnesium deficiency - it happens only under led lights, rather common thing, prolly something with light spectrum
M420_GROWS
M420_GROWScommented4 years ago
@johnbut, right bro, I think I triggered it by very close distance to my LED lamps (under 20cm). Maybe it also needed a particular amount of stress - it was a bit higher temp and humidity as they started to appear
SANlight
SANlightcommentedweek 104 years ago
Hey, thanks for using our products, hope you like it. Some people already told you that it´s to close to the grow lights, that´s why you´re suffering bleaching. Put one light 20 cm from left and the other 20 cm from the right. Keep it tilted as you have and make sure the distance is aorund 40cm. If the top flower is slightly closer it´s no problem, but try to keep it minimum 30 cm away. So you have the optimal light distribution for the branches below the top cola. Hope this will help. Regards Sanlight Support
M420_GROWS
M420_GROWScommented4 years ago
Thanks for great support and products guys! I think a big part of positive progress in this grow goes on account of this lamps. Have adjusted my setup as you suggested (last picture) - top cola is still closer then 30cm to the lamps but it is better for her and side branches now. I can go maybe 5cm higher if I hang the lamps directly on hooks under roof but for now I would keep it as it is for couple of days and observe how she improves.

Got an accident, not sure if she survives it. I left dripper constantly splash water on young leafs, now the first leafs look very damaged. Even if she survives this was probably a huge stress for her in first days... I will keep watching her but will update less frequently in next days.

Hey, thinking you know this by now... but these are not albino buds.. These are getting way too much Daily Light (PPFD should be FAR lower than typical flowering stage when running autos 20/4 in flower). The plant can only take in so much light per day, so if you are far exceeding this number (and possible exceeding Vapor Pressure Deficit you should look into that) then your plant will look very light stressed light this. my tip would be to focus primarily on optimizing the environment... Cannabis can grow very efficiently even when under significant stress, but only if its one light source is dialed in hope this helps

@@Blacklisted, Dude, I'm so sorry. I didn't realize u were such an expert grower. How do I learn to grow really larfy foxtail bud like u? I'm only in my first indoor grow, and sadly my buds are dense, compact, and full of trichs. Meanwhile, yours stretch so long and look weak and measly but wow man looks like so much weed (do u just turn it all into cannabutter? Maybe its the phytolumens - https://www.blackdogled.com/blog/lumens-why-they-are-not-important

@@GreenGrows, guys you're saying same thing with different words, I understand both, thank you both! There is no way to hang the lamps higher in tents available, it is my highest tent and lamps are hanging on roof right on hooks, no yoyo's. I am thinking about dimmers, not ready yet. Not an option to me using only one lamp on this plant. Peace all!
