These are in the window for extra light. 1.5 gallon grow bags using roots organic soil. I planted 3 seeds per bag to insure at least one female in each container, thinking perhaps one seed won't sprout, one seed will be male. I had 6 grow bags, with a total of 18 seeds, and 17 of them sprouted. I ended up with a total of 9 females, 3 grow bags with 2 females each, and 3 with 1 female each. The grand total dried weight with as little "lumber" as possible was 39.2 grams.

Lights: 5 x 24 watt "t-5" floro tubes that I got at the local hydro store and 3 x 26 watt floro spot lights that I got at a hardware store. All strapped to the under side of a plastic shelf that I got at the hardware store.Thats a total of 198 watts cfl mixed spectrum, plus indirect sun light for less than 12 hours daily in the middle of winter.

There is also a 750 watt space heater set at 75 F and a small fan for air movement.

When the plants got too tall I raised the shelf by putting cans of cat food under the legs of the shelf, and then cans of veg, then cans of coffee, then more on one side than the other because the plants on the right got taller.

That piece of paper taped in the window is my medical paperwork and ID. That is why I can have it in the window without my neighbors calling the cops. They did that last summer and the police almost cut down my outdoor plant until I pointed out the plainly visible medical paperwork. They told the neighbors that they couldn't press charges, and no one has bothered me since.

This is my current auto bumper. They are more HB x SR, accept for the ones on the left. They are the pure HB directly from the breeder. The tags that say BS are the "Blue Snow" or the HB x SR. They were planted on feb 2. They should show flowers after thier next set of leaves. The HB were planted on feb 19 so they will be at least another week.

The label that says "CA" is the plants that I have donated to my apprentice for his second run at autos...or any plant for that matter, af ..non af ..tomatoes or anything. His first plant was the White Dwarf and he got it to yield 32g. Not bad for a first go.

Since these are not flowering yet I only use the blue spectrum T-5 floros, because I have found that more yellow light makes more males. I have 5 - 24 watt blue floros for veg - the first 3 or 4 weeks. Then I switch to 3 yellow T-5s and 2 blue T-5s, and I turn on the 3 - 26 watt spot lights that look to be yellow to the eye compared to the blue tubes, even though the packege said nothing of spectrum. So for the first 3 or 4 weeks I use 120 watts blue spectrum T-5 floros plus sun, then I switch to more yellow than blue for a total of 198 watts plus sun until harvest. The floros are on for 20 hours daily. Most of the last bumper was done just under 10 weeks but the last of them was ready at 11.5 weeks.

I can't belive you got them in your back window like that lol. Should start calling you Oak nuts!

They look nice, i have both of those aswell. Might be a worth while cross. Whats the smoke like? They look like they lean to the SR side of things, so i am gussing that mango berry flava?

Keep us updated on the newest Blue snows.

Oak nuts? Not sure I understand, but OK. Yes they do lean toward the SR side. Yah smooth mango, but a one was just like the blueberry but not as potent.
