Blurples, Cobs, and Florescents Fun

Hi All!

I'm slinging pollen with mostly Colorado Strains. The Strains shown are:

1. Lavender Aura (original seed from Colorado)
2. Two Hibernate X Jabba Stash X Lucky 7's
3. Two Ice X Lavender Aura
4. Hibernate X Jabba Stash (very purple)
5. Mex Swag X Lucky's 7's X Lucky 7's
6. Mex Swag X Lucky's 7's
7. Jabba Stash X Lucky 7's X Lucky 7's

The Lucky 7's strain has been discontinued but is dynamite.
The males I get from this bunch will determine my next strains (coupled with some pollen on hand from recent harvest).
I will post some pics of last harvest including some strains currently growing.

And have Highly great day!

Here are some from recent harvest that should look similar to those mentioned above.

Here are some pics of Hibernate X Jabba Stash:




Here are some pics of Lucky 7's:




The Lucky 7's expand in the lungs like the old Thai sticks. Hard to hold a hit in. Have to take small hits.

Must be good because I notice I keep setting the pipe down....lol.

Really though one of the best high energy highs (like sativa dominate) I have found in years so hope to play a round with it a bit. The other one, "Hibernate X Jabba Stash more couch effect so good at night.

Here are some pics I just took at day 25 of 24 hr light. In 5 days I go 12/12. They all have been topped once and some have been topped twice for end result of four main Kolas.

Whats your setup?

Hi,

The Blurple is about 4 years old and is American made, "AdvancedLedLights." Here is their link: https://www.advancedledlights.com/ but apparently they went out of business. Been thrilled with mine as it has Cree and Bridgelux leds with infrared, far red, and white with dimmers.


Then I use a variety of Fluorescent lights (including 4 ft tubes I believe enhance crystal formation) also will place compact fluorescent (mostly 2700K at late flower). Also, shown are two, "Kind," blurples.




Lastly are the wondrous cobs for penetration. Timber with two 3000K and an Optic Led with 3500K.

The Blurple if I remember right is around 160 watts and the Timber is 200 watts and the Optic Led is 100 watts.

So vegged a month on 160 watts (IMO the blurple adds to multiple leaf growth faster than my dual T5 fluorescent setup (not shown)). The space is basically a 3' X 3' X 7' covered with Elastomeric roof coating (for high reflectivity).



I add lights as needed and often will have around 300-400 watts until final month of grow when I change to 11/13. My electric bill barely shows up any difference and pay low bill as is. Gotta love LED's when you get that electric bill!

Have a highly great day!

Here are a few pics of recent Jabba Stash harvest.


and here are some of Jabba Stash X Lucky 7's



Have a highly great day!

12/12 starts tonight after 30 days 24 hr light. Gonna be a stretch city sight. Oh what a delight!

High, how are you?

Well, been 7 days since 12/12 and have them all sorted out finally. Had unusually large number of males this time (5 out of 9). Oh well, things happen for a reason. This is a pic of all together prior to transplant/sorting.


Here is a pic of separated males (just came off 72 hrs of dark…speeds things up). Then the males will get a 2700K with approx. six hours of light with 18 dark (light not set up yet…I use a big box for dark in my laundry room). Two males not shown one in dark currently and other duplicate of another male (what are the odds)?


Here are a few pics of two that were transplanted yesterday and two not transplanted at time of pic. The two not transplanted are: “Mex swag X Lucky 7’s X Jabba Stash,” and “Hibernate X Jabba Stash.”

Here are two pics of root ball (can see transplanted just in time). First pic is the, “Mex swag X Lucky 7’s X Jabba Stash,” root ball and next one is the, “Hibernate X Jabba Stash,” root ball.

These last three pics are final result from 9 starts. They are:
Mexican Swag X Lucky 7’s X Jabba Stash.
Hibernate X Jabba Stash
Lavender Aura (original seed from pack)
Ice X Lavender Aura (Ice from Europe)



Two were smaller so only got topped once for two main Kolas while other two will have four main Kolas.

Day 40 since seed sprouted and 10 days into 12/12 update.

Males coming along nicely (should be collecting pollen soon).
Females have stretched quite a bit but still more to come (over 2 feet tall already).

I never could understand some friends I have that veg for like almost two months with some light/dark schedule. I asked them why they don't just do thirty days solid 24 hr light then switch to 12/12. Could have buddage much faster and just as good (or better).

The only response I got on why people veg long time with light/dark schedule is there was some thought that 24hr light for a month with sudden switch to 12/12 could shock em into hermies. Oh, and supposedly the electric bill but that doesn't make any sense because the longer veg makes up any difference in savings from a 24hr light.

In late 90's for many years I grew exclusively 24hr 30 day light to then 12/12. Back then would rarely see a hermie (I mean rare!) and the one I had once was a nanner late in flower (kinda normal for some sativa strains). But I had one hermie in like 4 years of growing and nothing to do with my lighting schedule.

These days every time you look at your plants one might show up (in the strain). Miss a watering and fence sitters jump to hermie side (a little stress and it's off to the hermie races).

Anyway, these pics are of my plants at 45 days from seed pop and last day of second week of flower. My friend gonna still be vegging another month and about the time his first buds show like mine here.....I'll be harvesting and on with the next batch.

Wanna veg long time and waste time then that's on you! I tried a long veg and found my plants to be smaller and less robust (lack of stretching?). Smaller plants make smaller buds.

Then came "Buddage!"

Day 25 of 12/12 tomorrow.


Here are six Barney's Farm Pineapple Haze just recently came up and ready to go into 12/12 after month of 24hr light.



Things looking a bit hazy here in the near future.
