Competition GROW CONTEST WINNER: Noreason gardens

[noreason]

I was hoping to get your word on it, I only had it for 2 cloning cycles...

I'll try it and I'l tell you

Very nice, you are sharing a lot of good and helpfull informations to everyone too!
And bro those steams are not just healty but also colorfull!

That extractor.. have you just packed it inside the box or did you use some rockwool inside too? Is that a centrifugal extractor?

The inner walls are covered with an insulation material. I also add a sort of blanket, made out of the irrigation mat I both and then discovered it was not good for that, but good to lowing noise.
I'm referring to this kind of irrigation mat:

The fan is a cheap 125mm one, if I remember good it's 200 m3/h.

90x90 Secret Jardin box, with a 96W fluo. panel. Plants love it, and I have to prune 'em often to keep an overall good health.

Before

After

Really nice green. They got Canna Hydro Vega A+B, Cannazym, and some Si in 0,4 liters pots.

X-Stream 40 working

Sour Diesel from Medical Seeds…90+ days pheno, here at 80 days. 2 plants yielded 380 grams.

Surely this cut is a big producer. I'm pretty sure it can hold 100 days flowering, with a massive yield. Smokes pretty good, has some hint of sour but nothing really special. Have to make a box only of this clone and see what happen.

Hi bro,
100 days of flo, for a no fist class Sour diesel?
I had to sent you my "roma campione" 81 days, but fist class sour...

 

[StRa]

great show as usual master Nore.....

 

[dimodz]

looks like working well the T5 unit

You're right, but honestly, I'm more interested to see the maximum yield I can ever have in a recirculating systems like these I'm using. Obviously, having a 100 days flowering clone, it's easier to achieve what I want

Thanks guys and yes dimodz, those panels are just great. However, I guess any good T5 panel or similar is pretty the same.

This is a single grow-box setup with a 600W HPS (nanolux ballast) in a cooled reflector.

Same recirculating system, with clay pebbles, 6,5 liters pots, 600 l/h pump (15min. ON - 15 min. OFF)

The clones in here are ChocoTonic. Usually I pull out 550/580 gr. of clean and pretty dense buds with this strain in 70 days. Will post some pictures of the harvest. It could be even more if I take off that cooled reflector, mounting a new adjust a wing. I'll do it for the next winter!

 

[noreason]

Some more hydro ChocoTonic F1

It can be easily seen the bud is pretty ripe, but the top of it is still growing. This is a sign the plant has something more to give.

It's like a car crash.i can't look away. Amazing !

Nice to see you are still chocotonic aficionado, long time since we don't meet buddy but I'm sure flavors and tasted we both preferred are still the same

Let's chocoberry together

Nice to see you here again bro, I still grow chocotonic because it doesn't annoy smoking all day long, year after year, it's always a good pot for anyone who tried it

I am having the same secondary flowering phase and decided to follow that advice. How long would you keep from harvesting with these buds?

Depends a lot on the cut you're flowering. I would say it's not economically appreciable let plants flower till the very end, just to ripe a 5% of calixes. In this point of view, I prefer cut the unripe foxtails from the bud and keep 'em for extracts, leaving a complete ripe bud. I just look at the flowers and decide when it's time to harvest.

As I said…I think all depends by the clone. If a clone is capable to do another good second flowering, then you can decide to let it do…always if you have the grow dialed in with RH, because with such large flowers, mold risk is very high in many many places, where spores are naturally everywhere in the air.
Growing in the desert (as you maybe know) high/dry mountain, cold places, small islands and so on…mold is not such a risk and if also the RH is low, mold incidence (botrytis) is insignificant. You can grow really big, large and dense colas without any sign of botrytis in the inner parts on the flower, without the help of technology…..well…saying it all…growing in a cold and dry place would be perfect

Yo guys, Agent Orange are now at 43 days from the switch.
Pretty good looking plants. Pretty nice aroma overall, still don't know if there is a real keeper. Aroma is somewhat between solvents, some kind of soap...but at now, nothing like orange.

One picture for every phenotype.

Overall they're good vigorous plants. On the aromatic side too, but nothing really special at now. Gotta try it at the end, but it's very probably I will not keep any phenotype of this strain.

Some pics

I'm using 2x600W HPS total (the second one triggered on the 30th day), in a space of 150x150. Temps: MAX 29°C - MIN 19°C
Pots size is 3,5 liters, with coco and some perlite (10/20 % approx.)
Canna hydro flores A+B, some cannazyme, and very little of silicon sometimes. That's all.
EC range for each watering never went over 1.65 mS/cm always with some run-off.

Maybe not keeper but they are still beautiful under your greenthumb!

They're beautiful because TGA did a good work. I was expecting something more ''orange'' there isn't, but overall this is a good strain.
Maybe not a great yielder, but you're pretty sure you'll smoke some aromatic weed.


I got a new tent just for vegging…because vegging requires more and more space to work in comfort. It's a clone box view 120x65 and it's pretty solid!

It has two gratings, on the top of the higher one I put some plexyglass to let the light pass trough it and at the same time it offers more stability for little pots.
This way there are 2 different kind of lightning in the box. The higher grid, near the light are for a good vegging.
The lower grid is for rooting and for those clones which have to vegetate, but not so faster, with a very relaxing light.

Lights are 2 PL fluo-panel. 110W each.

And some fun trying to purging ChocoTonic BHO in different ways to achieve the best aroma. CT is just great to make BHO but I need some more equipment to improve the extraction tech.

 

[CalMag]

Very Nice and organized location! Well builded the extra box for the clones!
Will the clones in the x-stream get enough light? It could be an idea for a box that i'm going to build.

Have you tryied the aero cloners with and without dome?

Looks fantastic!
