No, wrong end of the spectrum. Its 450-460nm blue LEDs to encourage root growth.

@Bongedtobits, I think the red that u are seeing is the red digital display from the thermostat inside the humidity dome.

Zak Haze clone going in the no-till.

Killer Haze(Killer Queen x SSH) x
Strawberry Cough = Zak Haze

This strain is dedicated to one of our dear family members that is no longer with us, Zak Hayes. Zak, was a dear friend, committed cannabis activist, and a true believer in the healing powers of medical cannabis. Being a cystic Fibrosis patient with an inherited life threatening disorder that damages the lungs and digestive system never got him down, never slowed his enthusiasm and never ever, became a crutch or an excuse. The fact that he knew he had a short ride ahead of him never dampened his vision of the future. In fact, it fueled his passion and drove him to become a well respected member of the New Mexico medical cannabis industry. In his short career, Zak worked with several of New Mexico’s finest producers and was well liked and loved by his co-workers and managers alike. He made an impression wherever he went. Zak has been part of Organtica’s family since the very beginning and was there every step of the way.

Many of us in the community were devastated at his passing and as we struggled to find sense in it all, we wondered what Zak would have thought about it.

The answer was pretty clear; we needed to develop a strain and dedicate it to our friend and, thus, the Organtica strain Zak Haze was conceived.

The funny thing about Karma is, it works both ways. In this case we developed a great strain that came in with a respectable THC count of 20.75%, and after sifting through test results we discovered a little secret. Not only was Zak Haze high in THC it also had an unusually high CBG-A content of 1.2%.

So What? Who cares about CBG-A?

If you are a patient, you do. The bottom line on CBG-A is this; it’s the magic ingredient that makes the cannabinoids work together as medicine. To put it in other words; Cannabigerolic acid (CBGa) is formed when geranyl pyrophosphate combines with olivetolic acid within the cannabis plant. It is thanks to CBGa that all other medicinal effects of cannabis are possible. Cannabigerolic acid (CBGa) can be thought of as the stem cell cannabinoid, which becomes THCa/THC, CBDa/CBD, CBCa/CBC, and CBG. It does this through different types of biosynthesis, where chemicals combine to form new compounds, examples being the THC biosynthase and the CBD biosynthase.

CBG-A is:
Analgesic – Relieves pain.
Antibacterial – Slows bacterial growth.
Anti-inflammatory – Reduces inflammation systemically.
Anti-Proliferative – Inhibits cancer cell growth through apoptosis.

Experimental blue light worked out great, all clones rooted successfully.

WWxBB tester. Not my best work by far.

I finally got around to filtering my reetha glycerin tincture @DavesNotHere. l will try using it as a wetting agent later this week.

ReikoX · January 28, 2019, 4:45pm

Zak Haze clone adjusting to the no-till bed nicely. Trimmed up some of the clover cover crop.

WWxBB at seven weeks now. These are not very big, but getting some girth to them. The smell is also maturing. It reminds me of SSH, slight fruitiness with a savory component to them.

WWxBB 1, if all four were like this one, I would be very pleased

WWxBB 2, if all four were like this, it would have been a complete fail

WWxBB 3, this one is getting darker as it ripens up

WWxBB 4, despite her small stature, she is pretty chunky

After a second round of Creme Brulee I came up with the keeper. These were all very similar to one and other. These three Creme Brulee moms are being culled, they have been in these same pots for about nine months.

Got my screen put together and up. Just in time, the Zak Haze clone is getting about screen height already. The light is running about 100 watts right now.

ReikoX · February 4, 2019, 4:53pm

So I went to water my mother plants and noticed that my T5 was down to a single bulb. No wonder they were getting yellow and sickly. I tried to be lazy, but I only had one spare bulb. So I guess this is the universe telling me to get off my ass and install that LED I built for there.

Fist I had to remove the old light. This light is actually screwed into the ceiling. So I had to remove the bulbs and reflector to unscrew it. I pulled all but one pair of wires.

Next I had to install the driver. A little messy, bit it will do for now, I’ll clean up the wiring in a bit. The light is installed and dimmed to about 75-watts.

The light is all hung and working again. I also installed my webcam while I was at it.

Finally all the mothers were put back. I also put some autos in plugs.

WWxBB at eight weeks. They look like they could use another week or two. I turned the 2700K lights off and bumped the 4000K lights up. Hopefully this will frost them up a bit the last few weeks.

WWxBB 1, as advertised these are starting to get a sweet smell to them. The savory, veggie smell is giving way to a more floral and citrus smell.

WWxBB 2, this one was an interesting experiment. Normally I would pull a small plant like this. I wanted to see what it would do.

WWxBB 3, this one started flowering very fast. Shes about done already.

WWxBB 4, this one is short but stacked. Very chunky from top to bottom.

I removed the filing cabinet and the 1x1x2 cabs and put my tent in their place. When I moved it something happened to the Sonoff Duo, so I disconnected it. I’ll try and debug it, hopefully I didn’t somehow fry it…? I also moved a lot of pots and misc grow stuff, harvested a couple gallons of vermicompost, and got most of the workshop cleaned.

The clover is overgrowing my Zak Haze clone, I should trim that up.

Could you put some pictures up of the inside of your tent please @ReikoX I’d like to see how you have everything set up if you wouldn’t mind as I need to utilize my space but finding it a bit of a clart on getting it sorted as theres hardly any room to move. I’ve just been trying to hang my new light but gave up as I started getting frustrated and bad tempered with it

ReikoX · February 6, 2019, 3:22pm

This is a tiny little propagation tent, 40 cm x 40 cm. I hung the fan with bungee cords, with some flex duct venting out the top. This is controlled with a Sonoff TH16. The light is a little 25-watt deal hung by the wire. A little heat must on a thermostat on the bottom.

Ghandisflipflop · February 6, 2019, 4:47pm

I thought this was the inside of the small tent.

Ghandisflipflop · February 6, 2019, 4:48pm

Where did you find how to make those planters or did you make them yourself?

ReikoX · February 6, 2019, 5:27pm

The WWxBB Autos are in my workbench. It’s about 75x75x75 cm. It has six 2700K strips on a 240 driver and three 4000K strips on a 120-watt driver. There are two of these areas with the fan in between exhausting them both.

I made the small planters and the no-till bed. The WWxBB are just 5-gallon spartan pots off amazon.

Ghandisflipflop · February 6, 2019, 5:30pm

I remember now, I remember you put pics of it up a while back. What kind of fabric is it you use?

Cheers

ReikoX · February 6, 2019, 5:31pm

It is called eco-felt. It is made from recycled water bottles. Make sure to use nylon thread, not cotton

Ghandisflipflop · February 6, 2019, 5:37pm

Thank you mate . .

Tinytuttle · February 6, 2019, 6:18pm

Nice clover patch in there have you had a bunny they’d be in heaven with all that yummy food! Looking good @ReikoX!
