Great seeing her finish up! roots are looking healthy

Thanks for stopping by. I will be trimming her up and doing a cob cure soon. She is plenty potent and smooth, but lacks character. I'm hoping the cob cure will add a little something to make this special.

I re looked at blynx he seemed to have moved on to the screw in 10 watt leds n got 1gpw runnin 30 watts n yielded 33 grams not bad at all would you recomend cob led or screw in led

 

[ReikoX]

For your box, screw in. COBS are nice, but expensive.

 

[u7vk7v0w7v]

Ok cool which wattage leds should i get n yea i see that plus i dont have club card n should i do straight leds in flowering how many should i run blynx did 3 at 10 watt ea in a cab about the size of my flower box im thinking at least 6 10 watt leds n maybe cfls or no? N leds will say if theyre 2700k right

 

[ReikoX]

I think 6 10W will be plenty of light, forget about CFL. Get warm white if they don't say 2700K.

Ok thank you alot reikox i really appreciate it i really do sorry to keep bugging you 1 more question they need to be just straight down evenly spread can i mount socket on ceiling or will that create to much heat on bulb or anything

 

[u7vk7v0w7v]

And should i switch veg to led lighting?

 

[ReikoX]

Yes straight down, veg you can wait, but it may help with heat.

 

[u7vk7v0w7v]

Cool appreciate it reikox bout to get started on this move plants to flower side tonight but keep them vegging just so they have more room n see how it goes

 

[ReikoX]

Cool, I'll keep an eye on your thread.

I'm at the store right now looking at them don't seem to have a high is the lumen output of CFLs is that alright

 

[u7vk7v0w7v]

The led im lookin at is 800 lumen ea 11 watt ea can that really be better than 1620 lumen 23 watt cfl not questioning anybody i see it worked for u and blynx but maybe your leds are better

 

[ReikoX]

Yes, that's the whole point of blynx thread. Lumens is a horrible metric for light. Lux is somewhat better, but nobody uses that to sell light bulbs. Basically when you use a CFL light goes in every direction. When you use LED the light is directed toward the plants. That's why they are more efficient.

 

[u7vk7v0w7v]

Where do I get the flat ones like he had i see one here at 3.5 watt for 15 dollars i see some perfect ones but they have glass circle cover on end does that just pop off or break it if its glass and theyl be flat underneath

 

[ReikoX]

Yeah, break that off and they are flat in there.

 

[u7vk7v0w7v]

Sweet thats what i was waiting for now i can buy them lol thanks

 

[u7vk7v0w7v]

1 more thing reikox would u stick with six in my space or go for 8 looking to do nore than 1 plant at time n aint too worried abput heat i shouldnt have problems with heat

After three days of drying, the buds were trimmed and manicured. This strain sure had a lot of sugar leaves. Final weight was 19 grams. A little short of my goal of an oz, but not bad for a mercy grow.

The bud is potent and full of trichromes. It grabs you behind the eyes and is a bit disorienting. The smoke is smooth but the flavor lacks character. Like the flavor, the aroma is subtle with maybe a hint of mint and pine.


I hope that by cob curing this it will give it some character. I used 14 grams and wrapped it as tight as I could with hemp string.


Here is my first cob ready to sweat. Since I only used 1/2 oz, I will check on it in a few days.


While that was going on I cracked one of the Fast and Vast Auto seeds. This is what I planned to run in the cab before I threw the THC Bomb in there.


I'm going to use the ScrOG screen again. So I planted the seed in the final container and made a humidity dome for it out of a 2 liters soda bottle.

The Fast and Vast Auto is above ground now. The soil was pretty dry so I added about 5 oz (150 ml) around the seedling.


When I checked on my cob I noticed it had started to shrink, so I opened the bag and took a look. Looks like it's starting to sweat. The outside of the cob was still damp.


So I wrapped it back up, tightened up the string and compressed it some more. After that I put it back in a vacuum bag and put it back in a cool dark place.
