Irie Seeds "Orange Gasm" under Gavita Pro 1700e LED's..........

[Norcalchris]

They stacked beautifully. Stoked to hear about the minimal trim job! Bummed though about the lack of orange or citrus. And damn does that light perform. I'm running an SF4000 and am trying to see how it will do at ~$650US. I think its about 25% less powerful as the Gavita. Overpowered for a 4x4 but I want quality not quantity. On my second run right now as I got crushed by root aphids the first go, as it was the first time I've ever encountered them. Been running biowar tea and new media and havent seen a trace since. Jealous to see it go so smooth! But you deserve it after all these years of hard work!

Regarding trimming, I wouldn't call it minimal. I give them a pretty good going over before I hang them. When they are dry enough, I do another trim removing some more stem and leaf I missed to make them look nice, appearance wise. Then I tupperware and burp them until their final packaging. I'm told mine are not as "trimmed" as much as other people do, but I try to leave anything that's covered with resin, no matter how they look.

I've been giving the Sweet Zombie some thought.......when i trim the next couple of finished plants in a few days- I'll move the remaining ladies to another room so I can clean, set up and start over again. I've decided not to pinch or top the Zombie's, as I'm concerned how they will react. Some plants don't take kindly to it (especially slow growers in veg) and since S.Z. relies so much on it's center cola (it gets big), I'll just do a lot of defoliation and make sure those side branches get plenty of light. Still, a little longer veg period might be in order.

I also wanted to mention I accumulated a nice chunk of scissor hash over the last 2 days and put it in a little container which i opened up tonight for a smell and the grapefruit came thru very, very nicely. As Rasta Jeff had said,, the concentrates are incredible from this one, and I'm guessing it's about the only thing he got right (and the over all weight too of course)........

I also realized tonight I haven't put a pic up of a nicely dried and ready to go bud........... click for a closeup and then magnify it. I'm still not so sure about the high, but it is a resin bomb!

How highs your ceiling

 

[sshz]

8 foot high in the basement..........

 

[Madmax]

8 foot high in the basement..........

With the led right up how far do you have to have it away from the ceiling ..just thinking how much room i would save in height if i get one down the track when i win lotto lol haha..

 

[sshz]

Obviously I was raising and lowering but it never got closer than 34 inches to the ceiling......... so about 3 ft. away at it's highest point or 5 feet off the ground.

 

[Madmax]

the smells getting to you.haha...lol...i meant how far the fixture or how close i should say to the ceiling.....can you have i say 5 inches off the ceiling

 

[sshz]

Oh.......LOL

I believe I read 4 inches from the ceiling is acceptable.......... just enough distance to allow some air flow.

I just smoked a bowl of hash.......... and boy, my lungs are tired. LOL Tasty stuff, for sure.

And, I also noticed today that many of the plants still going are pretty much done below the canopy, it's just the tops of the plants that need to catch up. I felt a lot better after seeing that.

 

[sshz]

10 minutes, the effects are pretty strong. All in the head, up buzz........ I feel better about it now. Not necessarily my favorite kind of high, but I'm sure people will like it.

Thanks sshz...i knew you was smashed ..b interesting how the edibles come out...your daughter will b onto you soon..where are your gummys dad..

 

[sshz]

LOL....... I emailed her last night and told her they'd be done over the weekend.

An hour and 20 minutes later, I'm still nicely buzzed.

 

[Cracken]

And the fans whirl as we all wait for a final number...but as someone said earlier, this could break 100.so i know i am out of the race.

 

[Madmax]

Snippety snip snip snip..."whats that" thats just sshz snipping away chewing on a gummy..

 

[sshz]

LOL......... just laying low, watching football. So, an update. Below is 61 oz as of now, from the 13 chopped plants. I'll continue to burp these in tupperware until they leave the house, another week or so. They'll lose 1/2 oz of moisture a day for a few more days, then it will slow down. I'm figuring 56+ oz in the end, which is about 4 1/4 oz per plant.

If I average 4 oz each for the remaining 11 plants, that puts me at 100 oz!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I know I said I wasn't going to be shocked to see you hit 2gpw but 2.2gpw as much as I hate that measurement on your first LED grow is impressive to say the least. So while I may not be shocked I sure as hell am impressed and it sure was fun to follow along

 

[sshz]

Honestly, I'm more shocked than anyone............. 100 0z under 1290 watts of LED. I don't think you can ever again question if LED can out perform HPS any more. Quality is definitely better overall too.......sticky top to bottom.
