The frost runs about 6" deep into the canopy. Nice, eh?

Wait until I build a reflector for the lamps! :yoinks:

Wow that's beautiful!!! That pic filled my screen with snow, stepped back a few feet and it looked like snowy mountains. Nice job, this is very encouraging for me and my first PL-L flower experience. That is awesome.......hydrosoil!!!!

no offence but i would have expected better, they look very small like they are extremely under lit :S
or is it bad strain to use maybe ?

The pheno bites :( (Edit: I think it's even going to run close to 70 days which is NOT the short-flower sativa I was looking for. LOL)
If I'd known how little this pheno was going to produce and how long, I would have run with the Princess Diesel and Trainwrecks instead. Working on getting some better C-99 beans to find the short-flower plump lady I was expecting. :D

Still, it'll be enough to last me until the next harvest so I'm happy. :)

Hydro- How many lumens a piece do ur lights put out?
The 3000K lamps are 4,800 lumens each.


If the strain turns out to be medicinally of value, I may run it again before I grow out a couple new seed packs of C-99. If it's good enough, the yield won't matter that much. :D

Don't say nothing about CFL's. If you grow shitty bud using CFL's then don't blame it on the CFL's but your own skill!
People like you try to grow huge plants using fluorescent's and then wonder why they end up with airy-scrawny looking buds. See, the whole point is to keep everything as small and compact as possible, to a point. SOG's and SCoG's are perfect for CFL grows, and produce bud that is the same quality than anything else.

wtf rave? i think we already came to the conclusion that it was a BUM pheno, you dont need to come along saying i dont know how to grow under cfls?? lmfao

AP KUSH - I wanted to take a look at your thread since it's very close to mine (Mine's about 250w per room, yours is 200)... but it gives me a link to http.com.

Fix your sig so I can read your thread! :)

looken good hydro. how many days of flowering r they.
That's one of the things bothering me about this pheno. That's day 54 and I should have already harvested them. As it is the trichs are still crystal clear and everything is just beginning to swell up in bud size at that point. Very disappointed in this pheno as it's is definitely not living up to it's namesake. :wallbash:

They're still crystal clear trichs today at day 56 and I'm pretty pleased that everything I've left uncut is frosty as hell. Little bit of heat stress on the tips of a couple buds but nothing to make me raise the lights over. Canopy temp is optimal. :D

Cut some bud off it the other day and did a quick dry. Medicinal but nothing special. Wondering if it isn't a 70 day pheno? I would have run the Trainwrecks alongside if I'd known it was going to run this long.

Still gonna be a bitchin harvest though. :yoinks:

Strain:Orange bud DP
Grow box: 0,5m x 0,4m x 1,8m
Lights: 1 agrolite 200w, 6 cfl 30w (380w, more or less 30000 lumens)
