My ability to change humidity has really made it dry. But, I had very little in the other plant and it had a cola about that big. I am worried but it is funny how big it got. Lol
Incredible!! That MT is a pure beast , best build Some scaffolding when you bring her down , you could be crushed to death by it , not a bad way to go in fact - yes office we found the body pinned under a budzilla cola
TIMBER!
Yeah I would say around 8 to 11 weeks so far. Yeah they are moving more towards a skunky smell now in cure. Funky for sure. The one with the huge bud above is going to be tasty on a rosin press. Lemon chemical flavors.
Happy belated 4/20. Here are a few bud developement shots.
First up are two Smell My Finger’s (Purple Urkle X Kush). These are turning fruity and frosty. I still have hopes on some purple when she finishes.
Here are the two plants together. I just defoliated last week and they exploded in growth.
Triangle Kush S1 #1 showing some early frost.
This is an Unknown Mother x Snow Lotus from @GrowHard. I received this last year here on OG. I popped a few seeds and this was the one female. I have her in Coco on 321 for something different. She is looking great.
Moved the No Name Mom x Snow Lotus over to flower in my cabinet.
Take note everyone. Clean. It only takes 10-15 extra minutes but it will always improve the finished product. Plus it gives you pride.
Listening to a lot of Bill Withers lately. Grandma’s Hands. He brings it home on this one. “Might be snakes in that grass.”
We had an early frost! Look at these girls laying out the frost early.

They certainly are👍
@ReikoX and @Mr.Sparkle quick question for you light experts. I have a 4x4 tent that is only 72 inches. I have some large plants that are around 20 inches from the light. I am running 8x QB132’s on two meanwell 320’s. What should I shoot for watts per square foot. I have been running at 260 watts.
hard answer to actually say cause it depends on many factors, aka light on time, light output, like you already mentioned hang height, wall reflective-ness, and genetics, and or even a way to measure it all
but thats just something im diving into more at the moment
May not be a very helpful answer, but I would say as much as they can take. As they get bigger add more. 260 watts over 16 square feet is just over 16 watts per square foot.
So reading and such most articles for say discussion on DLI and whats required for other flower bearing crops typically state a DLI of 20-30 is in that upper range of very high quality output potential, barring cannabis references to higher than that but thats of augmented co2 concentrations and or feasible upper limits of what a plant can handle not necessarily what it will thrive under.
How does that equate lets say we pick a high rate of say a DLI of 35 that would work out to a PPFD of around 800 for a 12hr lights on time span, i personally dont have a ppfd meter or par meter, but if going by HLG reference tables you can work out a rough LUX approximation of that of around 55K lux which can be further be skewed by say what device your reading that from, say good phone vs an older one, or an actual light meter or whatever, and thats not really considering discussion on atmospheric co2 concentrations or say actual house levels and more whats idea under that…
why it gets complicated…
but more simple answer would be as much light that allows the plant to remain happy and where they aren’t drooping hrs before light out, or are showing signs of light stress like paler leaves where directly exposed vs noticeable darker leaves where shaded.
And like @ReikoX said 16w a sq/ft is probably on the low side especially if running 12/12 but you just have to watch the plants and see
Yeah, I ran all those Mountain Temples at around 350 + watts and I was getting a lot of foxtailing. It could just be the SSH in the strain. I’ll bring them up some tonight to around 300. I’m trying to dial the tent in, in regards to light height and how long to veg the plants. I’ve only had it since the fall. I’ve overshot the veg time on the last few plants. Way too tall.
Exactly why I lean on you for experience! I feel as if a clone can handle more light. Second run with a strain is always exciting to see how a “mature” plant can perform.
Man. I hope im not messing up. I have a 4x4 tent im running 444 watts of lm301h leds in at 3 weeks into flower. Guess i better keep.my eye on em. They look great though.
How tall is your tent? Mine is only 72 inches. Like this one but a 4x4. I have low ceilings.
78 inches. I still have plenty of headroom but im running it about 24 inches above the canopy at the moment.
TIMBER!! Final Mountain Temple is down. Had to get the chainsaw out and give her an angled back cut for some directional falling. Didn’t want the main bud to fall on my head and kill me!
And some were questioning mold? I chopped her up and NO MOLD!! These big buds need chopped down before the dry. That is when I get mold. In the dry.
