The Coming Of Cheesus

Now are you using these dual arc bulbs all the way through the grow or just for flower?

Damn now its between Ceramic metal halide and dual arc after doing alil research.

I used to use the duals all the way through but i'm just using it for veg this time then switching to the green power, i like to change things up all the time lol next crop when this 1 is done is going into NFT 2 trays 3 plants in each 1 light over each

I'm gonna check into all the different bulbs. I'm used to just regular bulbs never thought about all the different kinds of bulbs for H.I.D though. Dual spectrum, Dual arc and ceramic interest me alot.

How did you like the dual all the way through? Alot more resin production?

No doubt Niko, growing is all about personal preference, but I. Am bias to the dual spectrum

I hear ya, I eventually want too try every growing style at least once. keep telling myself I'll grow soil one day but still haven't done it haha. wonder if theres such a thing as a dual spectrum bulb with a ceramic socket?

 

[vapedup]

I don't get waht u mean by ceramic socket? Don't all HID have ceramic sockets??

woops, excuse my ignorance haha. What do they mean by ceramic metal halide? I havent looked up what that type of bulb is yet just assumed it was ceramic socket.
Feel free to fill me in on what it does mean

Smoking some bubba kush for the first time right now.....My face is fucking numb and my teeth are melting. would explain it perfectly. Fuuuuu yes

CMH is just a very enhanced hps bulb, dont be trying to run it on a digi ballast though or you will be loosing bulbs left and right. here is a chart of the hps vs cmh you can see the cmh is very well rounded on the spectrum chart.

It still wont let me plus rep you and damn you deserve it.
So what your saying is it has more even amounts of light from each end of the spectrum. So magnetic ballast and your all good. Sold.

lol well thanks buddy, mag ballast and the bulb and your ready to rock, pretty sure its not as intense as a hps (light intensity anyway) but there is much more usable light for the plant. i have heard allot of good things about them and want to try a few myself.

Pics of a lil bubba kush nug. sposbly, as this is only what Im told it is. Having not smoked it if anybody has feel free to tell me what they think.

More efficiency and a better plant, hell yeah. Still so many different methods out there to try. this will never get boring

Holy hell that was a good smoke.

97 likes ? Lol dunno what I did but thanks guys.

Time to finish my bowl from last night throw on some tunes and get some work done on the plant. PPM is at 205 as of this morning so I think its time for a res change and bump up to 700 or so ppm for this last week of veg before 12/12

 

[drgreentm]

i agree get her on some heavy feeding before the flip, just keep a eye on the leaf tips. from what 3 eyes said she can be a bit finicky.

 

[Niko Bellick]

well last night it was 701 let it settle overnight and this morning it was 680 when I added it to the res. gradual run up, probably wont go past 800 before I flip in a week or so.

Added two more flowering cfl bulbs to add more red spectrum as I get closer to flower. Not very tall but super thick stem. weird.

 

[Niko Bellick]

Did my first and probably last trim on this plant til maybe two weeks into flower. mainly trimmed inner growth to open up light to the main branches. Four of the larger trimmed branches I decided to try and clone them for practice. Added two cfl bulbs as side lights as well.

When I go to flower I'll have six cfl bulbs surrounding the T5 flowering bulbs. Hit her with Sensi Bloom A and B + VooDoo Juice+ Bud Candy= two ounces dry smoke....I wish.

 

[Niko Bellick]

Not liking this strain in veg so far. Noticed alot of uneven inner growth and odd fingered leaves. The 28th will be one month of veg at which I'm going to flip to 12/12 and see what this plant is really all about.

ph 5.8
PPM 540
res temp 66
Air Temp 75-81
RH...no idea but probably too low.

 

[Niko Bellick]

Update: Not much going on, she took the topping very well and has grown at least three inches since topping. Mixing up Sensi Bloom A&B, Voodoo Juice and Bud Candy and letting it settle for a few days before I switch the lights.

Not impressed with this strain as I've said before. Think I will order the original Cheese next time and see whats up. Except the lighting everything in my grow room is optimal. The best Nutrients IMO, Mid seventies temperatures, good humidity etc. The best of this strain should show itself without excuse. Unless I just got a very poor pheno, well see.

My girls are 14"-16" tall and are nice little bushes their getting switched on the 1st then we'll see what they can do
