The Ultimate L.E.D Grow. 126w Penetrator - *New Technique

[Scrogerman]

What happened man, they were all looking good, then the last pic mean Disaster by the look of it man, all fucked up leaved n shit man, i hope you got a decent yield & what was up with all that leaf damage?, i was really surprised to see that after you going soo long with it looking so good? What happened man? Yield / Pics? See what i mean about this strain bro?
Ive written a grow & smoke report for the 5+ Pheno's i grew out of her in that last ScrOg i did of her, ive been really honest, sadly i did not like the strain at all, what a let down! big Time imo, but that just me, looked like you had the 50/50 or sati leaning pheno's, i only saw 1 that was any where near acceptable & that didnt even get in my top 50 strains lol! DutchP are full of shit im affraid, I think they felt left out and rushed this one out, what a failure & i'll never buy any of their strains EVER again! its really sad, but its true! Its a load of imo! I do hope you got something that i did not, but after growing out 10 fems and getting 5+ pheno's i find that hard to believe! Most of my comments are aimed at informing the masses of the hype bs that DP are dishing out with this strain, so others in the comunity dont have to waste their time & hard ernt money on this rubbish strain! Good Luck to you though Mean my friend, fingers Crossed for you brother! word! A friend of mine grew out a better strain out of a packet of Trill LOL(Birdseed/Hempseed)!

 

[MeanBean]

Hey scrogger man, are you talking about this grow or the other one?? If your talking about the other: I think the leaf damage is caused by a bit too much nutes and the leafs right next to the light get a lil burnt out. Seems to always happen to the leafs right around the light.. the rest of the story is on that thread...

Bout to update this one, everything is fine!! The one thing I do like about this strain is that the buds are big, but yeah its slow... I made cuts last week may try it again.. I don't have enough experience to really cateek the potency and such, I'm a noob n this stuff that i grow is the best I ever had except for a 100 occasions or so.

 

[Scrogerman]

The Ultimate in general bro! Sorry for the downer but im still reeling about the quality of mine & im glad yours is good. Thats great news bro! I'll await your report of the stuff bro! Loving your LED show man, Nice Job! Cant wait to see pics of this one now, think i got em mixed up then or something!
Peace & G'Luck.....Scroger

A Few Days Into The 9th Week

A Few Days Into The 9th Week

OK Peeps, time for an update:

As Far as My perspective the grow is going really good. Looks like these buds are starting to really plump up now! Next few weeks should be pretty interesting as they balloon out like I know there gonna.

There are a ton of bud sites. Having it this tight seems dangerous, gotta keep the leaf count way down to keep moisture from building.


I cleared a bunch of the leafs out and now to me the canopy seems a bit empty. I guess thats a good thing because it looks like these buds are going to need all the space they can get... These suckers are getting nute burn too, I keep knocking it back each grow, looks like I need to cut it in half next time maybe???

Also I noticed something weird going on, not sure what it is, maybe bud bleach. Dunno looks healthy though.

 

[MeanBean]

Yeah, so I got a bud that shows signs of bud bleaching for sure, So I tucked it down a bit lower in the screeen. wish my scrog was about 5 " lower hahaha o well hope it dont get to bad! lights up all the way...I am just really hoping I dont stun my plant beeing that close to the light.

Seeing the bud bleaching let's me know though there is a limit to these penetrators, they do kick some power..


white buds are the new thing!!

 

[LEDGirl]

That's an insane amount of bud sites. Bleaching does happen when closer to 6" on quite a few strains. It's due to the intensity of the IR LED's

 

[MeanBean]

Thanks! I am a Proud daddy! I am glad I got 3 pickle jars full of buds to smoke while I let these babies age to the last second!! Even though this grow aint done I am on to the next in my thoughts. Cant wait to lower the screen and get both my penetrators in there.

Today I actually though about making a low pressure areo system in each 5 gall bucket... I dunno it never ends,... I was thinking to grow some sick as strawberries with my other penetrator while I wait for this grow to finish but ahhh not enough time... Just think how tasty a DWC, LED grow strawberry would taste! mmmmmmmm




Remember, I got 2 Of these.

 

[hazy]

ummm, led strawberries.

Did someone say that's a lot of budsites MB?

Really nice.

 

[MeanBean]

Thanks Hazy, Nice to have a Senior Member Stop by! This beeing my first scrog and 3rd grow ever, idda never known it was an above average "packing of the buds" lol "thanks ICmag n members!

Hope to keep a good thing going, stick around!

 

[LEDGirl]

It's one of the sickest screens I've seen. I can't say I've ever seen more bud sites crammed into a canopy before. It's almost making me drool a little lol. Keep up the great work MB! Maybe when you're done with this one you can try for 3 grams per watt lol!

 

[MeanBean]

Thanks, Yeah just some waiting around to do now.... I am glad your lights kick ass, all this effort would go to waste if I had flopppin hss or something lol!!

 

[Weezard]

Brilliant!

Brilliant!

"This beeing my first scrog and 3rd grow ever,"

Outstanding!

Hey Weezard,

thanks for dropping in, were still waiting to see how much we are gonna get outta this.

I am starting to wonder this;

OK the mother plant of these clones was topped a few times, she still grew like 6 mega buds, spraypaint can size, plus change. Now these clones have a ton more bud sites but I doubt there alll going to be spray paint can size.

So I am wondering, am I riding the plants root limits if these buds don't get pretty big could it be Becasue there are soo many buds sites??

guess we just gotta wait n see how big the really get....

 

[hazy]

How long did you say these have gone? I just went through and reread you thread, but forgot. It looks like they have a long way to go still.
Yeah, too many bud sites can drop the size of the buds, maybe or maybe not the overall yield.

 

[Weezard]

There can be too much of a good thing.

NBD
If it no yield.
A good idea is still a rose. :-}

It is a trade off.

However, the 126 is a strong light and those buds are mighty close to it.
At that intensity, (just before bleaching occurs), Cannabis stops growing, the leaf thickens as the thylakoids "flip" and that takes energy.
Suggest you obtain some moa feddered boa and raise the light about 3" then, if it's not too late, the buds should "crown" and swell a bit.

guess we just gotta wait n see how big the really get....

Just a thought.
Great job!

Weeze

 

[MeanBean]

Well It is what it is now, seemed like it was just on the tip of a few buds that were the closest to the light...

Next time around the canopy will be lower for sure buuuuut I am hoping were low enough to not stun em...

there's simply no way to raise the light..

 

[Weezard]

There's always a way.

There's always a way.

Well heck!
If ya can't raise the bridge, lower the water.
And, if ya can't lower da water, think tinted windshield.

Window screen, cheesecloth, any kine attenuator should work. only gotta lose about 10% to test the too much light theory, yah?

Aloha.

[MeanBean]

Nahh, let's just see what happens! Today is end of 9th week. 3 more to go!!

I will update pics on Sunday...

 

[Weezard]

I heard dat.

I heard dat.

And I'm all eyes.
The buds look good, 'cept for da size.

This whole grow is impressive.
Got class, got style.
Should keep ya in side-effects for mo' dan a while.


Aloha,
Weeze
