Any quick search will show you are supposed to hang Mylar as smooth as possible.

When the company claims 95% reflectivity you think they just threw it up on the wall without care?

Cmon' man.

Diamond material is also supposed to be wrinkle free. So the pattern they engineered can work.

Pretty sure you are in no danger of anyone copying your practices.

All of the stuff you are writing about has been studied at the industry and university levels.

And you keep posting contrary information.
Well, when the mylar was not crinkled the plants got burned. When the mylar was crinkled, just from being used a few times, there was less burning. So I put 2 & 2 together. Crinkled it all up, worked great. I don't care if anyone else crinkles or not. Did I say please everybody crinkle up your mylar? I said that I crinkle MY mylar.

You insinuated we are all dumb and you are not and have had the opposite results as well, everyone.

From your posts it is obvious you do not have consistent enough results to have proven anything.

The best advice I think for you is for you to admit that it isn't the seeds. It isnt the lights. And if you see better results with wrinkly Mylar it sure isnt the Mylar.

And that you are the only control in your testing.

In real science the tester can not have emotional involvement in the study for many good reasons.

And that it has all been done 1000 times before.

No, my problems up to now were the seeds alright. Lots of garbage seeds being sold these days. I was insinuating that you're all dumb though was I? Well, from the posts I've been reading in this forum, wtf else would I think? You're the apparent leader of the dumb growers brigade. I have yet to see a post from you that actually makes sense or contains factual information. You keep showing up to expose your dumbness, for some reason. Pretty much proves what a slow learner you are, wanting more embarrassment. But, by all means keep doing it. Kind of fun having an easy target to kick in the nuts every few threads.

I grew one of these out as a freebie from Attitude. Stretched like mad so I must have had a sativa pheno. Easy to clone too. Pretty potent and smelled great. Yield wasn't too high, about average but nugs were dense as marbles so watch out for mold.

Here is a pic of mine at 9 weeks. Took a bit longer to finish and wasn't the easiest grow honestly. But it got me to Saturn after a few bong hits.

You are talking about yourself. Pretty standard human behavior for the self doubter. It's called projection.

And I and tons of other growers have gotten fantastic results with seeds you did not.

Here is a Dinafem bud from seed.

Looks like utter crap huh?

IMG_6647.PNG IMG_6646.PNG

Grown in horrible bagged potting mix with colorful label and terrible bottled hydro store nutes under awful indoor growing specific lighting.

And of course a low quality feminized seed. (Only one I have grown)

I must be really bad at learning stuff. ;-)

Problem there is that I didn't say Dinafem seeds were bad. Dumbness showing again. I mentioned that they stretched a lot, which obviously they did. Why the fuck would I say it was crap when I said the buds are just starting to show. Mentally deficient much? It actually looks like a great strain. The following quote says much about you as a grower though; "Grown in horrible bagged potting mix with colorful label and terrible bottled hydro store nutes under awful indoor growing specific lighting." You're a very astute shopper I see. Only the finest.

Nice. Thanks for your input. It's a stretcher, not just yours. Actually weird that many people said it doesn't stretch at all. The reality is the exact opposite.

Those buds looked like mine when they finished. Looks good.

Some don't stretch nearly as much. Another guy on reddit grew these out and said his didn't even double. Just depends on the pheno. The smoke won't let you down though as they average about 24% and I'd say it is about right from what I grew.

Well I've only seen two of three plants I started in flowering stage. Both of them stretched, one less than the other. Maybe the third will be the charm of shortness. Glad the potency is as described in the ads though. That's what I was looking for, a super-potent strain with great flavor. Slightly low yields would be acceptable as long as it's potent, yummy and good looking/smelling. I think this is the strain that I can actually keep growing long term and not have to look further.

So I guess diamond mylar is a total fraud. They say it's the most reflective but in reality all a big scam. But no we wouldn't want anyone to copy my practices. They'd be up to their ears in weed, can't have that. But by all means do show us the references to support your statement. I'm sure a study was done comparing crinkled mylar to smooth.
I use foam insulating board, which has aluminum on one side and white mylar on it's back side, so you can use either side if you desire. I get 4'x8' sheets at Home Depot, cut it to size for whatever area I am using it (have 2 rooms with the shiny side out) and the reflection is awesome. I use it for my veg trays also, like I cut it into 2x4 strips and box my trays. Works great, buy a sheet and try it, it's good stuff. :)
You can even wash it to keep it clean

Dinafem OG Kush is a great fucking strain, and I would highly recommend it for both rookies or the experienced grower.
Basically anything Dinafem produces is excellent, so no worries there.

I disagree with much that you post but I have to correct this one before someone copies it.

Mylar only works well if perfectly smooth. The wrinkles are what gives it hot spots.

Even aluminum foil would work well if it could be kept smooth.
The whole hot spot thing is mostly myth.

The best reflectors are made of hammer tone aluminum. Basically wrinkled aluminum.

It might be possible with 1000 watt de but I doubt it.

That's something that just gets repeated.

Many people do praise Dinafem seeds. I've heard the Critical is a weak strain though, only good for getting a lot of weight from. They say it's one of their top selling strains though, so apparently there's a lot of people out there just going for weight over quality. Probably better than other companies' high yield strains though.

I like the crinkled mylar emergency blankets. Only issue is that they still let some light through so you have to double or triple them up. What I do to get them nice and crinkly is to ball them up and flatten them back out. It's possible they lose some reflectivity from it but it still looks pretty bright to me. When they're new and you just unfold them, they have a bunch of creases in them, forming a bunch of rectangular sections, so it doesn't hang all that flat anyway. Actually hangs better when crinkled.

Great, thanks for replying. That's what I was hoping to hear. How long did you flower it? A lot of people will take a plant at like 6-8 weeks and then wonder why they got low yields. Me? Ten weeks all strains. Doesn't matter about trich color. That can be genetic. You just run em all for 10 weeks regardless because there's really not much bud weight before that. Even 9 is not long enough. Anyway, from your reply, this stuff is gon be sweet. I finally scored a strain that isn't shit, like 99% of the seeds being sold today in my experience.
10 weeks for every strain? No sir, you are flat out incorrect. Maybe that's what your environment requires. Are you really attempting to flower under 13.5 hours of light? Then you expect the plant to induce flowering in a timely manner? No way, not going to happen. Reduce the lights on duration to 12 hours for one week -- that will induce flowering within 7 days if the plant is mature (at least 4 weeks above ground if from seed). Your anecdotes could confuse newcomers too; I would appreciate if you prefaced everything with "here's what I do..." Because it seems you do everything wrong.

Edit: removed a useless and.

I am growing out Royal Queen Seeds Critical Kush which as I understand is a rebranded Dinafem Critical Kush (now Big Kush). I have one pheno from three seeds that is a huge yieldee and frosty as hell. I had to snip some smaller branches in the 6th week of flower as the tent was getting crowded. Testers you might call them; even the smallest buds were super potent and I have had decent shit straight outta West Coast co-ops. Terpenes profile is definitely gassy with sharp citrus notes and after grinding, you get a wonderful bouquet of citrus, flowers and diesel that makes my mouth water.

One last bit on commercial breeders: quality is there you just need to stick with the guys that are passionate about medical cannabis. Dinafem is definitely one of the good guys, along with Humboldt Seed Org. and TH Seeds. There are definitely quality boutique genetics that can be had for low prices too, which gives amateur growers access to elite clone only Gene's.

Yeah they all take 10 weeks, usually look they they could take another week but I ain't waiting that long. I just tried the 13.5 thing for a little while actually. I'm back to 12/12 now. Guess it's the only way to get reasonably quick ripening.

As for prefacing my posts to suit you, pretty fucking unlikely. Nice try though. Do other people actually say okay? Or am I the only one you tried to have tailor their posts to your tastes? Now I would appreciate it if you go fuck yourself, please and thank you. Wouldn't want to be rude or anything.

OG is a stretchy strain and proper light and nutrition can help with that.

But you of course are still blaming the seeds.

.......or lighting or soil or...........

You don't appreciate sarcasm too much do you?
