Archive Seeds "Light Speed".......

[sshz]

If anyone has ever grown anything from Raw Genetics, I'd appreciate you piping in............

 

[Dr.Green55]

Those Irie genetics Orange Gasm looks very interesting , I'm going to try and get some if I can.

Dragon's Stash moving along, early in flowering......another week or so, after they are thinned out- they'll be placed outside.

What happened to the leaves?

 

[sshz]

These were underfed early on with too much light.......... I wasn’t paying much attention to them. I raised the light and put them on a heavier feeding schedule and they are recovering nicely. I also switched them into flowering very early, at about 2 weeks in veg. There’s 7 plants in the tub, all competing against one another for light and nutrients.

3 pic's from today...........the room looks great.

After listening to Rata Jeff's podcast on Defoliation, I'm going thru the room tonight and thin out some of the plants. It's well worth a listen if you have time and it's very informative.

1 month finished flowering today, check out the frost on the "light speed".....I can't say I ever remember something this frosty so early.

And of course a pic from the room with a strong flashlight as the light source.

Looking good brother! Especially since you didn't have high hopes for the Light Speed whenever you first cracked them. I am going to listen to the podcast on defoliation whenever I get a chance. I appreciate the heads up! Positive vibes...

just a beautiful thing you got going

 

[sshz]

Stank- make sure you read thru the 200 or so podcasts he 's done.......he touches on just about every subject from mites, to fertilizers to strain selection, etc., etc. They can be a bit long sometimes but I've listened to the one on the Orange Gasm 3X already and bunch of others. It appears he was a large scale master grower for some large organizations before getting into breeding.

Regarding the room, I couldn't be happier. Everything is so friggin healthy, the plants aren't even dropping any leaves down below, which usually starts to happen around now. I did notice the Light Speed plants are darker than the LemonOG Haze, which probably means they are less tolerant to high fertilizer levels. But I've stayed relatively low, not going above 750 ppm. Usually I'm way higher than that by now.

So, 6 weeks more which puts me to a June 14th harvest...........

 

[Hidd3nGr0w]

Next level man, next level. Can really see the OG in the back. I thought the lightspeed would stretch more, but looks like they just decided to sit right where they were at and put in work. Looks awesome!

 

[sshz]

Yup.......I attribute the LemonOG height to the Haze that's bred in there......and yes, the Light Speed did not stretch like I thought it would- except for that 1 single plant that I may have missed and not topped.

But we are all so locked in to looking at pretty flowers, we miss where the magic all begins- in the soil. So today, lets give some credit to the soil and the not-so-pretty pots. The first row is Light Speed, the next 3 rows going to the back are the lemonOG haze X Cookies.

looking good

Regarding the Dragon's Stash F3 I've been testing, I was able to sex them tonight. Out of 9 plants, I've already mention 3 were runts and not worth keeping. That left 6 plants, 4 which were males. So, 2 females, a bit disappointing. I take a pic of them tomorrow, before I place them outside.

 

[sshz]

Both plants are healthy, I'm imagining once they go outside, they will take off in veg again and become monsters by the fall (if the bugs don't get them first).......

Spinosad helped me tremendously last year outside

Spinosad helped me tremendously last year outside

Which one do you like the best? I bought some dead bug brew for my vegetable and blackberries this season. I used Monterey I believe last time. Seems to work. Wish it would kill off these damn honeydew ants!

 

[sshz]

I think a sulfer spray is very effective outside..... but I own Spinosad too. My next door neighbor does a large veggie garden every year and loses alot of product to bugs no matter what he applies. We sit near the Chesapeake Bay, a stones throw away- the bugs are winning. My neighborhood gets a weekly bug spraying of pyrethrum, which probably helps some at least with the mosquitoes. I'll leave the plants in the container, as it's plenty big for the season to help with anything crawling.
