I'm really liking it, but really it's not a whole lot different than using bottles. I still feed kelp teas, barley, aloe, fulvic and humic acids...

I'm interested in that solo strip light that you put together. Are those the Samsung chips?

It looks like you are using that to replace one of your 70w chm's is that right?

Edit:

Oh yeah, in for another year of awesomeness!!

The CMH was 150-watt, so these use less energy and run way cooler. These are two strips at 4000K and a 5000K strip in the middle.

How big an area is it that you have those three strips over? I have a 200 watt driver that I'm thinking of getting four strips to run in a dresser converted to a flower cab.

[ReikoX]

The three strip light is good for about a 2'x2' at 12" The cab these are in is 30x30, but im taking advantage of the lower light area for clones.

30-40 watts per square foot are the recommended rating for strips like these.

yo Reiko, those light strips look sweet.

I crossed the ancestral skunk to itself, got a couple hundred tiny black beans

Me too, feminized even... but not on purpose.

[~star~crash~]

did we ever get a report on that skunk?

[ReikoX]

I have a harvest photo, the yield was good, but the quality was not so great. No exceptional plants and one with lots of male flowers. Two were musky with a bit of sweet to them. Reminded me of old school Mexican. One has almost no smell and absolutely no taste. It's smooth and they all are medium potency with a bit of a lag before it takes effect.

I washed 100 grams through the bubble bags and only got about 5.5 grams of hash back from all the bags. I pressed out some rosin and it's good, but not exceptional. I tried making flower rosin and missed a seed or two. You remember that taste of a seed in the bowl? Well concentrate that and dab it.

I'm not sure how I feel about the skunk. Right now, I am thinking I have better genetics available. I am thinking about gifting the remaining to someone with the space and time to hunt through them. I still have the clones, and would consider re-running them one more time without seeds.
