Ocean Grown seeds and CMH's

So this plant, basically a mystery strain (I know that the father was a bubbilicious from nirvana) is so incredibly terpy it's insane, if only you guys could smell this!
I reached out and touched a lower nug and it was like a grease bomb going off, for the first few seconds my fingers were so slick and greasy then turned superglue like with a golden shiny glisten left on the fingers tips. And the smell is amazing. I love the other genes here but this is the best smelling plant in the garden. I'm having a tough time puting my finger on the exact comparison for smell, just so pungent. I get like a grape diesel and fruity smell off of it. It's also really purple'ing out too, I'm sure it's going to be some incredible smoke.


This plant is also sporting the most stacked branches in the hole garden. By the time I harvest her I'll have 6 or 7 main colas with about 12" of Buddha on each Not too bad for a plant that's barely 18 inches tall. She would be sweet to run in a mono crop with a longer veg. Such a keeper.

The ladies are lookin real nice.

This sweet girl earned herself a spot to the center of the canopy such a beautiful plant. Real deep purple fade. Pics don't do the color justice at all.

Top notch for what did you say, second grow? Well done

Growers house already did the cmh bulbs testing........... Phillips is the one to buy, not shocking as they invented the tech(retrowhite)

Two arcs in one envelope(630 de) has historically shown to have lower output..........2 sun systems 315w(Philips ballast/ bulbs) will easily beat a 630w de in ppf/w & ppfd.

This is news to me. Good post

Yeah second grow, I'm pretty happy with it. It's been a lot of work but about to pay off

What do you guys think? I have two plants that I'm wondering if they're ready for chop or not. Take a look and tell me what ya think if ya got a minute

Do NOT chop those yet.

Just harvested my first rift two weeks ago @ day 60 from 12/12, incredible results but I plan on letting the next three clones go to 65 to add to the bottom end of the high.

Despite what breeders claim amd what written on the packs...out of hundreds of strains Ive grown through the years..a very rare few were truly done in 7 or 8 weeks. 63 days or 9 weeks to really get all she has to offer. And even 10 or 11 for some. Ive even grown real sativa leaning gear tbat was even longer but I dont grow those inside anymore. To expensive in equipment and power bills. I like true 63 to 70 day strains and the vast majority of indoor cultivars fall within this ripe window.

The old saying..."when you think it's done..give it another week" is so true.

I'm learning that big time with first hand experience, as I've harvested about a 1/3 of the room so far starting at day 57 up until about 4 days ago and I'm at day 67 now. With everything I've harvested so far and viewing the trichomes, compared to what I'm seeing now on the plants that are still going, I should've given what I've chopped one more week. It's still pretty dank but what I've held back on chopping is really started to swell more than I expected and packing an extra layer of frost on.

Now that I've let some go that I thought were done a week and a half ago I'm starting to actually see amber trichs coming in. Before I'd stain my eyes so bad and just figured they wernt real easy to decipher, well now I'm seeing that they just really wernt there in the first place up until a few days ago

Sorry about the lack of updates, I kinda figured no one was really watching so I just started posting my pics in other threads. I mainly just use this for show and tell rather than a journal, I keep my notes and what not on paper at home.

I'll throw a few pics up tonight though.

Here's a link of what's been going on a bit since day 50. I've got several pics of different plants in there.
My purple plant was done enough but in hindsight I wish I would've given it about another 4 or 5 days. Pics of that one toward the bottom of page 3

Here's the one that'll be done next I'm guessing, alien rift #8, I'm seeing lots of dark ambers popping up on the leaves, not seeing many on the calyxes yet though. I plan on giving her a day of darkness before chop so that'll add one more day of ripening past when I feel that she's done. What do you guys think? Time to put her in the dark or not yet?

Some quick closure on the thread,

Day 81 I believe and the last 5 are coming down.

Loved reading this good job man. Cant wait to see the harvest

Nice grow, everything looks great!

I've been harvesting slowly but steadily the past few weeks, of coarse depending on ripeness, so I've got lots that's been curing for a bit now. Here's some finished bud shots.
I gotta say for my 2nd grow I'm thrilled with the results and quality
