Mitsu Strains and Experiments - 100w LED / 60x60cm

[Mitsuharu]

52th day of flowering

I just had the chance to take some daylight shots near the window:

Malawi Sun

The Unknowns

The Big Long One which i want to harvest at the weekend:

The Small Pollinated One which is carrying the new strain Jungle Boogie © seeds:

The Cutted One, she will obviously yield best:

 

[Mitsuharu]

The Small Unknown One (with pollinated side branches)... her head is hard like a rock. ^^ How much different these colors are with LED light:

What's going on here with the whitening/browning at the seed calyxes? Is this dying plant material because she didn't got enough energy to build all these seeds?

Malawi Sun has some impressive sativa like bud structure just like the Malawi x NL Mother Genetics!

What's going on here with the whitening/browning at the seed calyxes? Is this dying plant material because she didn't got enough energy to build all these seeds?

Maybe it's just the one green seed you see and the others are brown and done. But be careful of the dead material, it's an invitation for mold. I often got this outdoors from some ladies, but the seeds were already ripe by then.

Maybe the plant just wants to keep flowering to get more pollination and has cut those spots off from nutrients.

56th day of flowering

All 3 plants of the Unknown Strain are getting close to harvest(the Malawi Sun will take a lot longer)... time today for one plant to be chopped, the long leafy but resinous one, sugar leaf pheno.

Because she was so big i think i could get easily ~20g + dry buds... : - )

hope you had a grand day with loved ones and a good ganja session

jungle boogie takes me back to mid 90s yardie bush weed . great funtime weed . fits of giggles

 

[Mitsuharu]

Thanks, yes in the meantime i'm more a fan of a energetic high, i'm pretty tired in the evening without cannabis anyway. It's some indica hybrid i think but kind of fun to grow a unknown strain, especially like this where i got a little bit different phenos with the 3 plants.

And because i'm following the discussion LED vs HID lamps i must say that i cannot say a bit bad about LED, this is my second time with flowering plants now since i got my first LED from Mars Hydro. The growth, the flowering, the smell and the high... i'm very satisfied and it's pretty impressive what you can do with only 100 Watts! It was a very stinky harvest. ^^

 

[shiva82]

i use small leds, , 315 cmh , and even a big double ended gavita 1000 watt hps. led is more than good enough, if you get the rest of the room dialled in . soil always helps with the natural sticky terps , light distance , etc . loads of variables. hps for big rooms and led for small tents is fine. Strain dependent too. Many strains have been grown for generations under hps and selected under hps. loads of variables man. how longs a piece of string.

 

[Mitsuharu]

soil always helps with the natural sticky terps

Yeah, i'm a soil fan you can say. And the bat guano i always use with the soil brings some nice natural spicy smell. I use it with my window grown plants in soil too and there is no difference for me. But i'm a small grower and no hardcore 24/7 stoner so my weed is more than good for me, most important it's own grown.

 

[shiva82]

well, i grow the same strains in soil, hydro , and coco , organic and non organic , and under hps led and cmh and i can say it is strain dependent based on what i have experienced. The early skunk is tastiest under led, where as peach is best under cmh or hps. as an example

i'm just a hobbyist smoker , grower with arthritis that consumes and grows his own bud

 

[shiva82]

and if you use the correct bacteria , fungi , silica source , etc in coco for example , it can be quite close to soil in terps..... but much simpler to just use a good soil. but anything is possible

here is my christmas gift for you Mitsu. she took a shit in my porch today

 

[shiva82]

and also, some of the best bud i have grown was using high output t5 bulbs close up to the plants. not many people use ho t5 bulbs but when used correctly they are great

Congrats on the harvest and merry christmas Mitsu-bros!

59th day of flowering

Today i defoliated the 2 Unknown Ones and watered one last time, looks like they are getting ready too soon... The Malawi will stay alone next week, think she will need 80 - 90 days flowering.

Unknown 1 - Cutted

Unknown 2 - Seeded Side Branches

Malawi Sun - Cutted, 2 Seeded Side Branches

 

[Mitsuharu]

After drying for 5 days the weed from the first harvested Unknown Strain Plant is in the jar now. It's more than i expected from this lanky one, i think around 30g, the jar is pretty full.

It's super sticky and white, reminds me of the Northern Lights x Skunk #1 which i had with my first indoor grow 10 years ago... maybe it's something Afghan like!? Just awesome sticky resin with hashplant flavor at your fingers when touching.

Also i got a first batch Jungle Boogie (Unknown Strain x Malawi Sun) Seeds from the pollinated Unknown One(which is still in the tent) to look at, pretty small but ripe. I think i will first test a few at the window in spring...

 

[Hasch]

Lecker lecker lecker!
And seeds

How is the smoke?

 

[Mitsuharu]

You know i don't smoke. Little bit too early to consume this, i just put it in the jar today, it needs 1 - 2 weeks curing at least.

 

[Hasch]

You know i don't smoke.

Ja ja, then let us know how the first vape is/was.

Do you find the curing makes much of a difference when vaping?

 

[Mitsuharu]

Yeah, i think it gets more ripe when sealing away and airing once a day for 15 - 30min., a rounder turn you know. Best after a few months... i once had a rest from my Orange Bud in the jar for 6 months, looked like golden honey and was soft like fabric. It got so strong that one Bong Hit was too much(and i was a pretty good stoner back then ^^)!

Anybody else here vaping!?

 

[Hasch]

Meee

 

[revegeta666]

And me! Although listening to some Behemoth instead ofSnoop Dog. Much more relaxing I think.
