I'm beginning to think the color might have something to do with the 2 UVB lights I have in there. I think they are 20W 10% UVB and I leave them on during the entire light cycle. I figured what the hell; I'd back it off if they showed stress. But now the Hawaiian Snow I have under the lights...

And yes...all grown IN A VAN DOWN BY THE RIVER. Eating a steady diet of government cheese. La-te-freakin' dah.

Ok drying pics. I further manicured them and put 'em in jars tonight. Took me nearly 5 hours! I can't wait for that first whiff out of the masons tomorrow morning :sleep::sleep::sleep:

Some closeups...same pics just cropped

Thanks for the kind words. It really turned purple those last two nights. I have an AC cooled grow box and I drop my nighttime temps down around 64F. I don't know if that is normal for this strain or if this contributed. It was a lot of fun to see all the bud but I have to admit it was...

thank you sir. been such a lot of effort but so worth it in the end...

Look how they turned purple the last week...mmm... It's killing me to wait. I just smoked some that's been drying for 24 hours and it already tastes great!

Ok so here's my first thread. I've been a lurker for years - I did my undergrad back on overgrow and was a good way thru a veg period of Amsterdam bought seeds before my roomate got scared. Ditto the second time. Then I got a job where I was randomly drug tested and I quit smoking for about...

I use the Liquid Karma almost every time I fertilize. Stuff is amazing from clone thru flower... Haven't used Botanicare other than the Clearex and Hydroguard. Both of those are great and pretty cheap. The hydoguard saved me from high res temps this summer. When it comes to pots the bigger...

Couldn't have said it better myself! I can attest 100% to the benefit of molasses when used with beneficial bacteria/fungi. The plants just love it; they really put on the trichomes and they tend to be able to handle much more stress (especially drought). MrFishy is right; it will ferment if...

I disagree that it cannot be done in hydro. Granted, there are drawbacks: it can clog your system, and it promotes bacterial growth. For the first, I run an aeroponic/dwc hybrid system (little 360deg sprayer nozzles), and I had no problems. I do have my pump in a filter bag though. And for...

greenjumble: This is my second successful (12 days away!) grow to harvest, and the first with AK-47. I bought the Hawaiian Snow for a pure sativa, and intended to get the AK for the pure indica, based on the stated flower time (47 days listed on gypsy) and described characteristics (as you...

Been a while since any input on this list, but I'll reply as I had the same idea starting out - wanting to get both ends of the spectrum. At the moment I would say Hawaiian Snow (sativa - Green House) and AK-47 (indica - Serious). The AK is the frostiest thing I've ever seen - shows preflowers...
