Kessil H350 + 240watts of CFL )(MKage+Tangerine Dream) 12/12 From SEED

**brahbrahbinks** · 05-06-2012, 03:02 PM

A little description from thedailysmoker about moby:"Moby Dick is Dinafem's most psychoactive strain with a concentration of up to 21% THC and the appearance of THCV, a compound present in equatorial sativa's produced in response to the ultraviolet sun rays; this substance makes the impact of the THC more powerful, to the point that the effect can be experienced after just two or three puffs. The low CBD concentration helps to make the effect psychoactively intense and long lasting; it speeds you up both mentally and physically and the come down is extensive, a little physical and apparent. It produces great food cravings and thirst, and it is advisable to eat and drink well, to deal with its effects.
There are two primary phenotypes for this cross, a dominant sativa which is found in 65% of the plants approximately, and the rest, that are commonly more compact and quicker. The sativa phenotype has a wood, pine, incense fragrance, and the indica variety is sweeter. To develop this particular strain to its full potential, it requires large amounts of light, up to 800 watts per square metre and a very high E.C between 1.5 and 2.00 because this strain needs more feeding than the majority of the strains."

It seems like mine is definately indica dom. but Im pretty bummedd about cause I might have to harvest early depending on how fast it buds. As soon as I see some trich production Ill throw in those uvb bulbs to get the thcv out of them. Ive never even heard of thcv. any experts wanna share some knowledge?

THCV has been shown to be a CB₁ receptor antagonist, i.e. it blocks the effects of THC

This is what I found on wiki. Although wikipedia is highly unreliable it makes me wonder why they advertise high thcv if this is actually true. Seems like dinafem is using misinformation to bait the consumer into buying their seeds?

Yo brahbrah! I don't like to rely solely on wikipedia either. Check out this video, it has some nice information

Thats crazy,so basically the vid says that thcv makes the high come on quicker but last for less time. Im still not sure about the trade off it seems but at least now I actually know what it is. Really informative vid puff, thanks.

Updates on the Moby:

You can see how far apart the nodes are in this one.

i thought Thcv is what gets converted to Thc when it undergoes combustion . its not psychoactive

This should help clear things up.

THC (Tetrahydrocannabinol) is essential to get the user high, more amounts of thc equals a stronger high.
CBD (Cannabidiol) alters the effect of the high on the user. For example high amounts of THC and minimal amounts of CBD creates a clear headed more awake high.
CBN (Cannabinol) is produced once THC starts to break down through oxidization. The more CBN, the more messed up feeling you get.
*These CBN levels can be reduced by properly storing and drying out the marijuana. I will post next about this.
THCV (Tetrahydrocannabivarin) increases the intensity and speed of the marijuana high. Although it settles in as a quicker high, making it wear off quicker aswell. This is most common in asian and african marijuana and can be recognized by a stronger then usual smell.
CBC (Cannabichromene) interacts with THC in enhance the high, although not known to have psychedelic properties.
CBL (Cannabicyclol) acts just like CBN in the essence of production during the breaking down of CBC. Light converts CBC to CBL.

Im using adavanced floricultures bloom booster line (i.e the yellow bottles) and it seems to be working well. I'm on phat right now so hoping things will bulk up soon.

Wow you got a nice camera^^^ great stills..........oh and your girls look good too

........how you digging the kessil so far??

**brahbrahbinks** · 05-09-2012, 06:26 PM

Actually they're taken from an iPhone :P but yea the h350 is actually really impressive. I have to say I was having my doubts when I was trying to veg some plants with it so essentially it is a flower only light and if you needed to veg you would have to go and pick up the deep purple. Personally the deep purple model would be a waste of $$ as any cfl can produced the same results. All in all I'll make a final statement when I get the exact numbers on yield but as of now its looking good. On another note if my magnets can veg for shit without supplemental lighting from a cfl imagine trying to flower with a deep purple (worthless).
