Wrap a dark cloth around a side stem for a week or two.
I've heard of that! Does it really work? It supposedly enduces the plant to show sex on the covered area because it doesn't get light, and hence supposedly will show sex/begin flowering.

Hey all! So sorry the updates have been slacking a bit, its crazy handling this place all by myself. I'll be updating tonight or tomorrow and you will all be able to see how stuff has moved around.

Side note pertaining to this round: I am expecting the yields to be quite low weight wise but this is mostly genetics. I yielded the first Aurora Indica out of the HPS tent and results were less than satisfactory with the yield, and after this round the strain will be discontinued from the garden. The comparison plants are also no more than 2 ft tall, being small in size just in general.

That being said, next rounds will be done using Trinity Kush or Qrazy Train which are my 2 favorite strains to grow to date, and are the top yielders as well as top in quality.

Check back soon for updates! I will also try and collect the first few rounds worth of info and post it in comparison to the yields from the 3rd round.

Sorry for the hold up but the long overdue update is here!

All the new plants are about 10 days into flower. The AI plants are day 52 out of approx 63-70. I want to again reiterate that this strain will be leaving the garden after this round because of the lower yields the plants give off. You can see in comparison to the Qrazy Train strain in tent 2, the nug size is substantial for being the same age.

I have been able to pull 4-5 oz per plant off the Trinity Kush and Qrazy Train plants after a 4 week veg and 9 week flower.

Without further intro heres the video:

But I thought LEDs only produce airbuds??? ;) Seriously, it's looking like one of mine is going to be over 4oz too (hoping hoping hoping). how do you like the smoke of the qrazy train?

Great video wejuana.............but damn your keeping that HPS up high up......what's it's like 4-4 1/2 feet off the canopy???

Hahaha airbuds indeed! I can't wait to run either the Trinity or Qrazy Train in a test round so I can provide some descent yields "officially" instead of just random plants that aren't in the "comparison."
That will be next round..

The QT smokes awesome! Definitely one of my top 10 favorite strains to smoke, but beyond that I really feel like I can read the strain and am able to grow it well.

I will take a measurement from it tonight. I raised up all the lights about 12 inches in uniform with the new additions coming in the tents to allow for a good stretch these first 2 weeks. I would guess its about 36 inches off the canopy max though the way it is sitting.

I measured and the glass on the HPS is currently 28-34 inches above the canopy but keeping in mind the plants will keep stretching for the next week or so.

Great up date! I got airy buds from organic under led but my high pressure aero plants were dense and tight as hell! I think the typ of growing style will play a big role in density

Agreed and I think another large factor is the distance from the light. Last round in the HPS I noticed good size top cola's but the density lacked because the heat from being so close to the light itself.

This round I compensated a bit more with distance in hopes of increasing the density all around.

Yea I'm still figuring out distance the black stars need to be realy close like 10-12"
My opinion is it's partially strain dependent, and footprint size is a factor too! The Qrazy Train likes to be about 8-10" off of the light, but the Trinity Kush does good at about 18-20" I pulled 5oz from the last Trinity under the Blackstar @ 20" distance.

Yea I'd agree
5oz off of a 3 gallon airpot is good!! 2 weeks into flower now under my solar storm and a 900 bs looks promising so far!!

I thought I would share this video with yall. I found it interesting what type of lighting solution DARPA (
