Stoneslacker's 250w micro, hempy, scrog - Blue Hash, Afghan Kush Special. Cheese

[Lemon king]

Thanks guys. I tried some of the earlier Maz and PE outdoor I cut last week and the Maz tastes similar to the indoor one I grew, nice buzz. The PE tastes pretty meh but has a great buzz. I'll leave it to cure and sample again later.

JD I've heard that the lemon pheno is hard to find. Seems every lemon strain on the attitude is sold out.

lol looks like mega lemonista next round,,,,(i do actually want to try this, always banging on about rock hard nugs,,,,, lol)

 

[ADriftingGinger]

Lemon king you done bought all those lemon strains didnt you lol.

The calm before the storm. Those will be amazing when finished.

I agree on the Lemon issue....it does seem to have many fans.

awesome post. i am getting to the point in my grow that scrog-ing is a possibility. i have lst'ed the plants as much as i can and i am now letting them grow upward. your point about scrog making the most out of the available light makes a lot of sense(no pun intended). thanks. i am subbed.

Ya I scoped the mega lemonista out, looks pretty good. Have you heard anything about Next Generation's Lemonator?

He's a lemonhead, he has to do that.

Thanks JD. I want some DNA Lemon skunk, those boys need to get busy. I wanted some Tangie too but that was gone almost instantly lol.

Thanks Easty. They are really hitting their groove right now. Hoping they finish strong.

----> puff, puff, pass some blueberry from my last scrog grow.
She has about 5 months of cure time and is outstanding. I've got another jar yet
uncracked that I'm going to try and hold for a year. Here' hoping lol!

Thanks mate! I am a scrogger at heart. I've messed around with mainline once
and would like to give it another try with some modifications.
Glad to have you stop by and feel free to post away.


Peace

The Kessil 150 came today and so far I am impressed. Very solid and looks well built. I was surprised at the beam intensity for such a small light.
Much better than the cfl and much less heat. The only negative is the beam angle is slightly too narrow. I may build a track of some sort to
adjust the overhead position. It may not make much difference this round but I should notice it more next.

Blue Hash is far and away the largest. Her canopy may be the best I've done so far, which makes up for the AKS as one of the worst.
She has a very strong berry smell and is very sticky. I'm interested in how she turns out as I have heard mixed reviews regarding her.
As much as I like blueberry I'm sure she will be good to go.

The AKS is starting to bulk up. She is about as uneven a canopy as I have done. In my defense she is the least branchy
strain I've seen. Her main colas should end up nice sized as she is forcing her growth to those main tops. Still a very citrusy kush smell but not alot of frost.

Have I mentioned that I love this cheese? I really do, she is amazing so far. Her smell is so good: sweet, sharp, cheesy, fruity and skunky.
Her cola structure is so different. This grow really shows some of the diversity in cannabis genetics. Cannot wait to diversify these 3.

Man those AKS pics turned out like shit I'll have to preview the pics better before I put the girls away. Peace

 

[Javadog]

Great work and an excellent post SS.

I love the color that that Kessil throws.

You might try directing the light across the tops.

I bought goose-neck mounts to help angle my 350s, but they
would only fit in a full tent.

In any case, I am enjoying the grow.

[eastcoastmo]

Glad to hear you are still enjoying the blueberry from last grow man, im down to my last half ounce from my grow and still have no tolerance to it...love it

Damn that blue hash looks the bomb too, perfect canopy on her! Spewin about the AKS, hope you still get some good smoke from it

 

[StevieStoner]

Man them girls look sweet stone and looks like its gonna be one beastly harvest in there. That kessil is sweet too, i was looking at some the other day and they aren't cheap at all.

 

[SomeGuy]

Lookin really good man! I want some cheese. . How many weeks you have left? Seems like we are pretty close in flower. I know alot of people grow w led... I am still leary of them as i feel the cost of the fixtures is fairly over inflated. That looks like a nice one though.

Thanks JD, I thought about angling the Kessil over the tops like you said but with how often I rotate the plants around I should be able to even out the coverage.
The color of the Kessil magenta is sweet, and she has some surprising penetration. Looking forward to messing around.

Hey does that mean you'll be firing up the 600w soon? The blue hash really shows alot of blueberry traits, I think I am going to really like her.
The AKS is not the best formed plant I've done but her colas are definitely packing on weight so I think she will still impress in the end. Cheers mate.

Things are definitely looking up SS. Should see some noticeable swelling in the next couple weeks. The kessil is a very nice, quality product I will say.
I got mine on ebay for $122 and of course last night found them for $92 on http://growershouse.com/kessil-h150-led-grow-light-magenta
I may even pick up the California Light works 200 sometime and try it out for my next summer grow I swore I wouldn't do.

Lookin really good man! I want some cheese. . How many weeks you have left? Seems like we are pretty close in flower. I know alot of people grow w led... I am still leary of them as i feel the cost of the fixtures is fairly over inflated. That looks like a nice one though.

Thanks SG. Breeder times for all 3 are 50-56 days and I usually allow for at least a week past recommended, so I am figuring around day 63 is harvest. I am at day 36 right now so a bit over halfway.

The LED technology is starting to get better and better, but the prices are still definitely in the upper spectrum (pun intended).

Some of the grows I've seen with higher end LED's have been impressive to say the least, but I am unable to pony up $500-1500 to experiment.
I think we are still 5 years or so away from quality, affordable LED tech.

 

[SomeGuy]

Right on man. Im at day 39 days today. Little more than halfway.

I may try a less expensive led for the freezer veg cabinet i have planned. Fun to watch another scrog.

 

[eastcoastmo]

Dont think i'll be firing up the 600 again man, not in that tent anyway, got a bit unmanageable lol. Hoping to use my 400w instead after i finish the back crossing, which will start in a few weeks
I reckon you will be a mess on that blue hash bro, lools potent as!!!

 

[md97]

thanks for the update stone, really enjoying your journal.

Once saw the Kessil on some random store and leave me thinking if I should buy it or not... it would be perfect for my flowering cab. Will have to wait and see how she works for you. Looking forward for harvest + next run supplementing with the led.

 

[whocares100]

Stone you have a thing for hairy girls...LOL, does that light have a cover on it or a glass? I was wondering if u could rig it like an umbrella

I'm working on a 12 volt led project right now, making my lighting affordable if I can build it myself...

Easty, how much heat does a 400 put out, can I keep one outside over winter in a shed or something and have enough heat, or would I need to supplement? Thanks

 

[steeliesteve]

Looking MAHVALOUS my friend! I was showing a fellow grower some of your picks and he wouldn't believe me that you only use a 250. I had to go back in your journal and show him where you said it. Lol.

On a good note, my close friend has been so pleased with my meds lately that he wants me to be a Caregiver for him and his wife. His last round finishes up in a couple weeks, then he's giving me his 600w ballast and hood, a 4x4 tent, led supplemental lighting, what soil he has and his smart pots. HELL YA! Lol

I'm also in the process of making a movable smart pot scrog. I've wanted to try a scrog ever since I first started following your journals, but mine will be Super Soil. I'm gonna pick up some pvc fittings tomorrow after I pick my son up from school and see what I can come up with. Sorry so chatty, pretty ripped. Puff puff pass--> Critical Hog and oil bong rips

Hey man, a 400w in winter would be ok while lights are on, its lights off you'd have to worry about. In winter i keep a heat mat under my girls and sometimes (when its -5 centigrade) i'll also use a home brew heat belt around the pots as well to keep the roots warm. It really depends on what temps you get in winter mate, we regularly get -8 centigrade where i live!

We are close easty, so I'm thinking some additional heat mey be in order, THanks my friend
