HemperFi's Second Season

[gourmet]

For me it is not having to find a dealer and the quality of what is possible when you grow yourself. I have to be careful not to over tend my plants. Patience is a virtue I never acquired.

 

[HemperFi]

Bitchin and groovy, Rosy It's more than an Earth thing for me -- it's a universe thing. I feel like the God of my own little piece of creation (or something like that). If I ever get busted, I'm going to argue that it's apart of my religion, opt for a jury trial and hope for a jury nullification verdict. I WOULDN'T PUT SOMEONE AWAY FOR GROWING A PLANT -- WOULD YOU? Hopefully, I won't have to deal with that experience though. Growing this plant is making a better person out of me. They should make a law that you HAVE to grow some MJ. The world would be a better place.

Peace

That's how it started out for me as well, Gourmet, but it is morphing into something a lot deeper than just having some good weed -- I know what you mean about patience. growing is teaching me patience. I sit and watch them grow lots, and I always want to do something to them. Lately I've just been turning them a little and resisting doing anything drastic

I still want to know what you-all think about putting both a MH and a HPS light in the tent for flowering. What do you think?

 

[gourmet]

Theoretically I would say no to the MH with HPS as defeating the purpose of changing the light spectrum. But I have never done a test of same, so that is a big I don't know.

It's more than just fun, Rosy. I get such a thrill out of this sport, and there is something deep down going on too. Something in my soul....


Peace

Don't call it a "sport"!! We aren't allowed to discuss sports!!!

[HemperFi]

I wonder if anyone knows, Gourmet. I read the other night that both lights are optimal, but I don't know the author, and I'd like some confirmation from the experts I know -- MPers....

Peace

 

[HemperFi]

It's as much a sport as poker oops, can I say that? hehehe

 

[Budders Keeper]

Looks like you're off to a bangin' start. Can't wait to see the rest of the story!

 

[Rosebud]

I see no reason to use up your HPS on veg, if that is what your thinking of doing. Why?

 

[HemperFi]

It is by far the best start I've had so far, Budder, I think it has a lot to do with my refined setup and the ammount of control I have now. I can't wait to see what happens as well. Thank you....

Not in vedge, Rosy -- in flower -- I read just the other night that the full spectrum of light from both an MH and a HPS will really make a difference. I don't know....

peace

 

[Rosebud]

I don't know why the MH would help in flower. Other people will be along to opine with you I bet.

 

[HemperFi]

I would appreciate EVERYONE'S opinion -- Masters, noobs and lurkers What do you think, Hick?

Peace

 

[HemperFi]

Here, my friends is a pretty sad thing to see. It tastes a little funky, but it hits pretty hard, and it's my LAST jar of buds. PMM stands for "Poison Mighty Might."

 

[Budders Keeper]

I read just the other night that the full spectrum of light from both an MH and a HPS

I used a 400 of each on some Mango. I definately noticed a difference in trich's compared to a run with only hps.I'm not scientific enough in my procedures to know if it was the full spectrum or something else i did better. I had the grow on here but the crash took it. Someone else.. maybe bombbudpuffa or bigkahuna was using both all the time last I heard. I ultimately went with a 1k hps for the simplicity of one light.

 

[HemperFi]

Thanks for the reply, Bud, I have six or seven weeks to think about it, but if I'm not told a good reason not to do it, I think I'll give it a try. Seems like to me it would be closer to what nature does that way. I'll cut them down from 24/7 to 14/10 for a week and then 12/12. I don't know, though, if it is a good idea....

Peace

 

[The Hemp Goddess]

There are many who believed the enhanced spectrum adds to the yield. I personally have not tried this. Some HPS bulbs do come with some extra blue light in there, so there is probably an advantage to blue light during flowering. Give it a whirl and let us know what you think. I would think that you would want to make sure that you rotated your plants so all were exposed to about the same amount of MH and HPS.

I really don't see any reason to do a 14/10 for a week? I'd just go from 24/7 to 12/12. Remember, that we are not trying to mimic nature--we are trying to use the best of it to our advantage by manipulating our grow environment.

 

[HemperFi]

Goddess, you always make so much sense. I will give it a try and let you know what I think (for what that's worth). I will rotate the plants a quarter turn every day. And 12/12 it will be I'm not thinking so much about a bigger yeald, but I am thinking about more trichs and better pot. It's worth a try....

Listen, I didn't realize I was naming my journal when I typed in "No longer babies." Could you change that for me? Something like "HemperFi's Second Season" would be more appropriate, don't ya think?

Peace

 

[Potscientest]

For'me its about creating something and watching it grow, ..................................without it asking me for money... and i can smoke them when they are too old

 

[HemperFi]

Everything I have bought to grow with has paid for itself buy me not having to buy street weed, Potscientist. I also get a real thrill out of the grow which is a bonus

Peace
