Incredible bulk by dr krippling seeds

[Toker1]

First time ever growing this strain...here is what you are looking at. A 400w MH air cooled hood going with 2 t5’s in a 3x3 tent. Week 1 of flower. 9 clones were vegged (18 hours of light on) about a month then I took 4 and vegged them another week or two. Topped once about two weeks after roots first appeared and LST the rest of the time. Trimmed up the side branches for fatter colas yesterday.

I'm going to bed, but wanted to post once to subscribe, I'll have a read through the first post tomorrow ✌

[Toker1]

👍 sounds good

[Toker1]

4 soil pots into flower (12 hours of light on). All on a drip water system...hand fed once per week with nutes. FF happy frog mixed with FF ocean forest solo cups. Then into 3 gallon fabric containers of FFOF. Mixing pearlite in every step of the way of course.
Full fox farm feed schedule minus the sledge hammer and flower kiss. I added fish sh!t through out the entire grow and will continue until week 6 of 8. I also add black strap molasses once flowering begins. The kind with out sulfur added.

[Toker1]

I will try to update this once per week.

Looking great I'm a firm believer in fish emulsions cannabis loves the fish.

[Toker1]

Totally agreed. Once I started using the fish sh!t I saw results.

They look awesome, Toker!

[Toker1]

Thanks Alltatup! Hopefully they will continue to grow awesome buds. 😉

Looks good. How close do you run your 400 with it being cooled

[Toker1]

About 6” from the canopy. I’ll raise it a bit the weekend when I switch to HPS after the stretch. I’ll link you to the light distance charts I use.

[Toker1]

For air cooled hoods I use these charts for light hanging distance. One is for MH the other is for HPS.

[George4green]

I knew it increased tri production but dint know it decreases the yield at the same time

[Toker1]

Yes. UV is corrosive. Stresses out the girls. You do see a diminishing yield with its usage. Which is why I don’t over do it with the UV. But quality is always my upmost concern. Quantity is second in my grows.

[George4green]

im With ya on that

[Spidermite]

Looking great bud. Im following.

[Spidermite]

What are you using for UV? I know mh without glass blocking it produces uv thus higher trichomes.

[Toker1]

The T5 bulbs switch out for Argo max UV bulbs. It’s mosrly uv-b but has some UV-a as well.
Yes, glass will rob your UV out of the equation. But I don’t run AC so only closed hoods for me.

[Canuck147]

Looks great! Got any Co2 happening?

[Toker1]

No co2... I am using outside air, a swamp cooler for summer, and fans to remove heat. So no AC and lots of air movement.

[Ace1973]

I grew this strain before and still have the seeds. Good stuff, real strong and can put you to sleep, the yield netted me five ounces off one plant, just LED lights(550watts) and soil in plastic pots(five gallon). The taste and high stood out and was very pleasant.

[Toker1]

This is exactly what I wanted to hear. Thanks for posting that!! Nice dark side of the moon prism avatar. First album I ever got stoned to.

[Ace1973]

Not a problem Toker1 , I am not a huge indica fan( that changes when I am out of sativa), yet, I enjoyed the buzz, it just made me sleepy, indica has always done this to me even if I do not know it is indica at first. I actually got stoned my first time to quite riots cum on feel the noize, although I prefer the original version of said song which was done by Slade. Of course the first time I smoked herrer was to wish you were here, it was an awesome journey. Although, if you ever have some trippy smoke, try listening to Alice Coopers Welcome to my nightmare, it is an interesting experience.

[Toker1]

End of week 2 beginning of week 3 (of 12-12) this Saturday. Tomorrow is the last night for MH and standard veg bulb t5’s. I switch to HPS and red t5’s first light on Sat.

[alltatup]

Girls are gonna stretch!!!!!!!!!

[Ace1973]

They should not be to leggy, at least when I grew them.

[Toker1]

This pheno is super leggy. I had to remove tons of mini branching from the lower main branches. Only left me with 6-8 inches of good nodes that were close to the main branch. I was not very happy about that. Especially since I am rocking the 400w here. It has the ability to penetrate further.
Oh well, first grow on this strain. I’ll chalk it up to learning curve.
Not a very stretchy strain. Only grew a few extra inches since the flip.

[George4green]

Like MCDs I’m loving it

[Toker1]

Switched to HPS and red t5 bulbs.

[Toker1]

Nice. I ended up taking some smaller side branches off the bottom of each branch. Maybe next grow I’ll just let that kind of stuff go.

[George4green]

Them some nice looking girls there

[Toker1]

Thanks!
