The Crystal Palace is back, now with a Spiderfarmer SE5000.

I wouldn't say you fucked up, you're just experimenting. As am I. And like I've mentioned before, my buddy strips as hard as you did every single time, and he just crushes it. So I know it can be done. I guess time will tell how well they rebound in the long run.

For me personally, the decision to not strip as hard for round 2 is based on the fact that this wedding crasher has a tendency to throw bananas when under stress. My last crop of it had a couple immature seeds in about 1 out of every 5 buds give or take. Not a big deal, but kinda annoying when your chopping up a dooby and feel that "crunch" in the scissors. So the name of the game from here out is minimal stress.

+1 tobh grow ur grow is badass as well man give urself some credit !

never lol not until it's the ever evasive perfect run. now, if i could convince @Dirtbag to come south of the border and build me a replica of his shed, that'd be great haha

Haha, crossing the border? imagine... dude, I'm not even allowed to eat in a restaurant. Hell with the most recent public health order I'm not even legally allowed to hang out with anybody, period.

The irony is not lost on me though.. a couple of socially compliant friends of mine returned from Mexico last week, went on duty with the fire dept the next day, went to a Christmas party 2 days later, and now one of them isn't feeling well..

Not a big fan of this new bizzaro world.

Fla is a shining beacon of sensibility from where I stand. Your governor is getting it right.
Where I live is feeling a little too authoritarian for my liking as of late. I came to BC because of the freedoms people here enjoyed, it was a libertarian haven 20 years ago, you really could do whatever you wanted as long as you weren't harming anyone.
It's done a complete 180 in the last 2 yrs. The last year, really. Makes me nauseous.

I’m blessed to live where I do at this point in history . Lol only 2 real issues everyone carry’s I mean everyone , but we have surprising few shootings- real problem is the hard drugs like fentanyl and even spice people still smoke that shit! Both contribute to the crazy homeless population

Yeah we have the drug problems here too. Honestly everyone carrying guns wouldn't bother me, I'd probably carry one myself if I could. Especially if everyone else was.

Hey DB do you use UVA/UVB lights through your grow? Christmas I might buy a present for myself as in a new light. I've my 12x12x9' 1000w hps flower room, a 3x4 x 6' Se3000 led room and a 3x4x6" t5 veg room. What,where,when & which type do you use or what would you recommend?

I dont use a specific UV bulb. I do often swap my lamps out for MH the last week or 2 as they put out UV.
That spiderfarmer SE3000 also already has UV diodes on the bars if it's the newer model.

Okay thanks, There has been some chatter about them lately and I was just wondering if its worth the effort or not. I see some of the folks here using them & or trying them out. I'm pretty happy with what I get but you know the strive for bigger better badder buds is an ongoing quest we tend to get carried away with. Would you thumbs up or down using one?

 

[Dirtbag]

I may need to pull a few more leaves.. but I might just roll with it.

Most leaves were pulled mid canopy, I left a few at the top and some at the bottom of the plants, I really just wanted to open up the middle to expose the lower buds to more light and venting.

Overall, super happy with the health. Today was the first day that the smell really punched me in the face as soon as I opened the door.. starting to make some funk.

Honestly having never used them, I don't really know. But I think there is something to it.. its a shame Aqua Man has gone silent again as he would be the dude to ask.

I do think you need to be careful with them, overuse can cook the plants.

There’s a balance, there’s been studies done you can find them on google, UV spectrum triggers defense mechanism in cannabis plants, that defense mechanism is about producing more oils/cannabinoids to protect from the UVA And UVB spectrum

 

[Dirtbag]

Pretty crazy that these two pics are only 21 days apart.

Rockwool and smart pruning FTW.

Yup and that’s some good work on defoliation

I’ll look for some

Thank you. There is a method to my madness lol.

Looks great, I love seeing how they can be stripped and they bounce back with lots more growth

Bro. This looks exactly like your old runs. Super stacked. Vigorous and healthy. You’re killing it dirtbag. I can’t complain with how the sf4000 is putting out..

Thanks buddy! Honestly I can't complain either. The plants under the LED look great, at less than half the power output. But I do think they're benefiting from the proximity to the HPS also. Row 3 looks amazing up close, plants in the middle are getting lit from Both LEDs and the HPS. And they're honkin'.
