So I sampled a little bit of my Lemon Tree x Zkittles last night, after only a week of curing. it definitely stills needs more time to cure, but the flavor was INSANE. It tastes like lemon mixed with berries and is pretty darn potent. Just a couple tokes and I start to get that rushing cerebral high where you can feel it in your forehead (I hope that makes as much sense to everyone else as it does me) and I can really focus on whatever I'm doing at the time. The buzz lasts quite a while too. would def recommend this strain to those who are a fan of strains high in limonene.
Nice, that should be the lemon party cut I think. Throw up some pics if you get a chance would love to see how that turned out.

would you say that's more of a sativa type high?

So how often should I message Caleb to see if he sent out my replacement pack? Or should I just send more money for another pack and mention it to him? I know he’s busy but I’d like to know what’s up. Hopefully he sent them out. He should pay someone $15/hour to answer emails and fill orders.

The main problem I had with leds was the intensity. I use to run them at full power and the plants always looked like shit. You gotta dim them down in veg and let the plants get use to them. I turn them up gradually until I hit full wattage at the start of flower. Warm temps (82-85) and a little extra calcium and magnesium are usually necessary as well.
Yeh, listen to this guy. I had a run where the Quantum Boards were too much for the plants.

In order to be successful with QB 's or LEDs, run your room/tent warmer, like around 27-29C which encourages the plants to transpire faster (which means uptake more nutes) in order to keep up with the strong lights. Add extra Cal and Mag. Make sure your soil is always moist (for organic living soil / no till growers)! And most importantly, dim the light down (i.e. 50%) for veg and every few day increase it. Keep the light at 3 ft from canopy for Veg and work toward 18" for the end of flowering. Use an afforddable LUX meter and convert the value to PAR, using the right kelvin temperature (i.e. 3000k, 3500k, 4000k, etc). Google migro + lux + par. He has chart on YouTube that shows the conversion. BTW, I run my room at 70% RH from seedling to middle of flowering; and the biomass increase is massive. I'll probably lower the RH to around 60-65% toward the end of flowering. Just make sure you got a good fan blowing and good VPD control. Do not be afraid of botrytis or powdery mildew if you got strong airflow. Try it and thanks me later. I got my info from listening to science based podcasts and experience.

Using the method above for QB's, my current grow is insane.

I use soil and sun the CSI plants fem from seed. Badass genetics. Clearly better than the hype breeders like exotic genetics(lame af), dna, dinafem, massmedical, Barney. Fuck grew so many shit fem off attitude back in the day. CSI fem hybrids are solid. Only issue ever had was autoflowrring mendo purp s1 and a mutant goofball looking Hong Kong Phooey (dogshit/ofp). Planted the mendo54/forbidden fruit , WiFi/D, and panama/bubba three days ago and they are all above the surface now. I always see people questioning what to buy. Buy whatever you want. I think the hybrids might be more fun than the S1 in my worthless opinion. lol. Peace and love. Live free do what you want and grow plants. I’m very high rn
Dude I have a buddy that grew barney's back in the day, he would find good phenos but most were trash, I stuck with serious seed back in the day and got great results, loved their ak-47. Out of one barneys the critical kush pheno he had was a straight cash cropper- had huge yields, decent look and nose.

Anyways I want to run some csi soon, I've got a pack secret service-trump1000 x Obama, from founding fathers. Csi's sours, chems, TK, purplecrumble, lemontree, zkittlez and gsc all interest me. I'm running a wyeast marshmallow og pack and pheno hunting some tikimadman right now, then will hunt some csi.

Post a heads up and I'll run some Secret Service with you!

I've been running LED since 2015. Same Cree Cxb3070s I built myself. Environment has ALWAYS mattered. Even when I was rocking 6000 watts of HID lol. VPD is great, but feed can be adjusted in lower humidity/temperature and be pretty comparable. I noticed my biggest jump in consistency and yield switching from FFOF/promix bx peat type soil to pure Coco in smaller containers DTW. I like higher humidity through week 3/4 then lower and lower (temp too) til the end. If I can finish in the 30s or 40s rh% and mid to low 70s daytime temps I will. I've noticed quality goes way up if humidity is lower in the last 3 weeks of flower. To each his own. These forums taught me a ton. Experience taught me exponentially more. The best advice to me always came from the most experienced growers. Also, I NEVER give my plants more than 1.4 ec MAX. Usually between 1.2 and 1.3. Even in peat that was a game changer for me. The low ec feed thread by homebrewer (I switched to jack's in coco, but used his dynagro grow as a standalone in peat mixes), posts from @UncleBuck , the coco DTW thread, and the Diy Led thread from @SupraSPL with contributions from many including seamaiden and greengenes, et al., changed my life.
