Looking awesome. So the sole strips don’t put off any heat?

The diodes are warm, but I can touch them with the back of my hand without any discomfort. There are 9 strips each with 96 diodes for a total of 864 diodes. So individually, they are quite cool and efficient.

Its pretty much plug and play.

You can get a kit and your SIL can help you assemble it, right?

Probably the most reasonable solution available today.

Hydro Grass Monkey (Update 5/09/18)

Operations Report:

For the last 4 weeks these girls have received minimal once a week maintenance. These plants were in limbo for that time as I was moving to a new location and these plants stayed out of my reach.

You will notice some deficiencies caused by PH fluctuations because I was not maintaining PH level every other day.

I have applied a good amount of topping and super cropping during the last month.

These plants were transferred May 7th 2018 to their new location and have started to stabilized after treating the reservoir yesterday.

They are going to need some work (trimming, PH, air flow, etc) but once they are 100% healthy, we will chop them for clones in the new week.

Those are looking mighty fine there @Jellypowered. I know you have a hard deadline, I hope they are ready in 10 days for you.

When @LED_Seedz said these were an eight week strain, I thought for sure I would be running them nine weeks. Looking at them today at six weeks, I’m sure they will be done in two more. One plant in particular is ripening fast.

Grass Monkey is finished in 54-56 days tops, it is one of my most favorite LEDSeedz strains to run, great weight, awesome smell / bag appeal and easy to clone
plus its a true 8 week finisher fosure. :peace:

it’s not so much a hard deadline, I just wasn’t going to be able to start any new plants but I think i’ve got a way figured out around that :smiley:

With the intensity of my light, I feel confident in saying I can match the finish time of Led_Seedz recommendations. The pistils are starting to turn all over, even on the lowers, the girls are finishing up.

Do yours smell AFTER harvest? Right now mine don’t smell like much of anything, not complaining because when I handle them they smell great, I think my temps have something to do with this phenomenon tbh, steady between 68-72F

Either way, i’m blown away by the frost on these monkeys. Hope the smoke report is every bit amazing as the journey growing them has been :smiley:

Yes both in flower and dried they have a very specific “smell” hard to nail down since I don’t have a great nose but it is not super loud but def got some funk to them
sorta a soft, berry sweet with a dank earthy smell
just smells like good weed to me.

Bet @LED_Seedz could nail it down solid since he has a much better pallet than I do.

I suffer greatly from allergies especially during spring (even though we’ve seemed to have skipped spring all together) and can’t smell ANYTHING right now
 wifey tells me they smell good but she couldn’t describe it either. When we got back from our weekend in Texas, I caught a hint of the dank berry funk for sure, but then the allergies said “ha, NOPE”

Thanks for the description, I look forward to curing these out and enjoying them :smiley:

I think that’s a pretty good description of what I smell right now. They are subtle in smell, I only notice after I handle them. It’s myrcene dominant, smells like weed, but also has some slight sweet notes as well as some smokey notes, which is new to me. I noticed after handling the monkeys that my fingers smell like I just finished a joint.

Yep, the one thing that does work in overdrive is my nose. That is what I was thinking Sweet fruity Totally different than the other two strains I had. That is until I started spraying. Loved the smell.

Grass Monkey by LED Seedz at 43 days. Things are looking great, getting a bit of fade on the back right one already. It is also developing a lemon and grease smell to it. Over all they are starting to get more sweet notes and less veggie smelling.

Here is one of the bigger colas with a lighter for reference.

One of the smaller side branches, still looking nice but not as frosty as the buds under the lights.

Here is a shot under the canopy. I think I need way more velcro. This is starting to thin out as the plants cannibalize the older leaves. I let the plant consume most of the leaves, but try to remove them once they shrivel up.
