ChilLED Day 60

With the exception of some foxtailing on a few of the OG strains, the tray looks exceptional.

HPS DAY 60

They are just starting to show their fade. I've been flushing for the past 5 days and will continue for 5 days more.

The CXB3590's are killing it. Definitely worthwhile decision to go with DIY COBs.

Got delayed on the updates since I was traveling. These ladies should be ready to chop within 6 to 7 days from now. The aroma when entering the garden is THICK.. even my UPS guy smells it from the driveway. Didn't run a carbon filter this time around so holy crap does it stink up the entire house!

Anyways, the other two tables are looking great but the COB one has the best appeal in bud size and overall appearance. It's the clear winner but once I have the weights in we will have a better idea of how much it won by.

Thanks for the updates - damn, that is a frosty pile of ladies you have there

Can't wait to see what the yield/strength difference is

only one word can describe what i've just read
WOW
very impressive grow

DeceiverZ · Nov 18, 2016

Thanks a lot fellas! The Tangie is something special. Thank you Mycotek for sharing the cut with me.

Also the OGKB v2.0 and Thin mints are shading purple now and temps have rarely gone below 72F. The foxtailing on a few of the OG's was probably due to my AC, which failed and allowed temps to reach 83F for 2 full days before it got sorted, such is life I suppose. You try and try to have perfection but it's not always possible. Still very happy with the outcome.

I will post up some individual strain pics compared to each of the three light sources. Thanks again for following and hope it's enlightening to those considering COBs in their future! :tiphat:

What an amazing grow. I wish we had smellavision already because I bet it smells crazy in there.

Loc Dog · Nov 19, 2016

Have you pointed an infrared temperature meter at the backs of the heatsinks, where the lights are, and halfway between them?

The main thing holding me back, is cost of heatsinks. Actually fans would be cheaper.

I am going to have to try making them soon. Maybe Christmas present to myself.

Thanks for informing me!!!!

DeceiverZ · Nov 20, 2016

I do have fans on the back of my COBs up against each heatsink, 140MM and 4 of those per bar.. It was probably overkill to be honest but it definitely moves a good bit of air.

Here are the OGKB 2.0 buds, which are turning a beautiful shade of purple. I was advised to take her to 70 days but I'm thinking the chop will come in the next 2 or 3 days.

These are the same ladies under three 600W HPS fixtures over a 4x8 table. I'm using the lens off the glasses I wear so that's why you see a weird yellowish glare on the photos. *Sigh*

Last but not least here they are again under the COBs. They are beautifully fragrant buds. Hats off to chunkypigs for making this strain possible.

beautiful

Loc Dog · Nov 30, 2016

Have you harvested?? Do you know what the trick is, using 730nm light to induce heavy budding? I think it was 15 minutes after lights out for first 2 weeks of flowering, but not sure.
