Congratulations!
There were a few folks who dropped some this year. Take a gander at @Weedison posts at the end of the first link below… He is ‘smacking it out of the park’. Feel free to post pics there as well, it just makes the thread even better.
Anyway to answer your question.
There was a co-op run a few years back, @Mongobongo was the grower and
I think this was an outside grow; that’s where the first pack came from. @Barefrog also threw me a pack, I believe he was the source for Mongo.
There is a more complete history at the top of this thread.
…and because I couldn’t leave it well enough alone, there’s this…
If you also got the Critical Kush pack, I have three of those on the go as well.
Orgnkid bred oger not ghost1 and ghost og is a clone only , that seems to consistently get mixed up in these threads.
I see a lot of people talking bout having og kush beans when what they have is oger , you can’t have beens of a clone only.
I don’t even get a ‘fuel’ smell, jet fuel, diesel or whatever. To me they smell like crushed stink bugs😂. I’m liking Hellfire OG atm, but it too has that chemical smell.
Yes but they named it something different, even if it was og x to a ogs1 male I would call it something else to distinguish it from the clone. There is already so much miss understanding around the line.
Research indicates that for every 1,000 feet of elevation gain, the sun’s UV rays intensify by 8-10 percent.
Experimenting with varying levels of blue light toward the end of the flower cycle results in different tastes and smells, so it takes some trial and error to get your desired results. This is often how growers create unique strains.
Increasing blue light while your plants flower can definitely change the taste, smell, and potency. It’s a very effective technique for growers hoping to create unique strains.
Fun fact: Coffee farms will plant fruit trees etc between rows to get fancy flavors, takes a few years after planting. We still argue about whether this works with Cannabis. The Cannabis experts like Skunkman Sam say no.
I’ve always been a hps guy but was thinking about giving the metal halide a try. I happen to have a new one and the spectrum has so much on the red end it’s very similar to a standard hps bulb.
Ive tried Super HPS too.
But MH just have that wider spectrum, and like you said, you can get similar levels of red, but still keep enough blue in there to make a special product
All of my best ID runs were with at least two different bulbs at the same time.
The best was MV, MH, SHPS all in a 4x4
I used to run the duel arc hps/metal halide bulbs with great results but they are not designed for electronic ballasts and are only available in 1000 watts. I have the 1000 watt ballasts still but don’t want to pay the bill , a 600 running at 75% is fine for seed making and pheno hunting.
I’m going to stick with the hortilux super hps , it puts out twice as many lumens as the halides. Maybe run a halide for the first week or two of flower, but I kinda like the stretch from with the hps and I hear halides reduce that .
You know I grew some of my best product in a room with HPS and red and blue HO T5’s. I haven’t been getting as good as that in a while. My T5 fixture blew both ballasts I guess, and now they’re going to discontinue T5, I think.
I hope they don’t discontinue t5s they are perfect for mother maintenance and cloning but I could see it with so much of the commercial grow lighting becoming led.
For building homes and what not its great, I switched a lot of the lights on my jeep over to led, but plants need types of light we cant see. The biggest issue with the led is the full spectrum and lack of Uv. Now there are some companies like California lightworks who are addressing this issue but they are outside of my range price wise. They make a led light that has adjustable spectrum and is programmable and they have 25watt supplemental uv lights available also. If I was ever going to try led again I want something like that at a working mans price.
My T5 fixture blew both ballasts I guess, and now they’re going to discontinue T5, I think.
