HSO-Mark Posted September 19, 2017 Share Posted September 19, 2017 @GreengoStarrI have seen some great grows with platinum LED and reports so far are very positive Will be interesting to see how the Viparspectra 450 compares Kind regards HSO-Mark.. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Halfatree Posted September 21, 2017 Author Share Posted September 21, 2017 Time for a little update. Some good and some bad... Firstly a group shot shortly after flipping to 12/12 on Monday. Light has both switches on for flowering and they are getting the full LED spectrum, from the Viparspactra. Now for the not so great news. On inspection today, I noticed the Strawberry Amnesia had some definite male flowers on it. *See picture below. Rather than risk it with the fact it is supposed to be female, I have gone with my judgement and binned the Strawberry. For the purposes of this diary it does not really matter anyway, as it is not an HSO strain anyway. Not sure what happened with that one, can't see any light leaks etc. Okay so now the HSO Blueberry Headband remains solo now. Although I plan on taking a clone or two off her today and will fill in the spaces round her, with her offspring. Also did a little LST on her, to get her filled out a little. More soon.. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HSO-Mark Posted September 23, 2017 Share Posted September 23, 2017 Strange that this occurred with the strawberry amnesia mate. If you drop me a pm I'll see if we can sort something out to say sorry Now into the blueberry headband as you are now in bloom and she is getting the full advantages of the LED she will really take off Personally I would do clones now or this coming week will make rooting easier imo Until then next time Kind regards HSO-Mark.. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Halfatree Posted September 27, 2017 Author Share Posted September 27, 2017 (edited) @HSO-Mark Yeah it was a little strange. I'm not too worried by it though and thanks for the offer, but I will be fine. I got so much stuff to get through as it is. Have to keeps things small at the moment anyway. Kids are at middle teen age now and just trying to keep it all hidden is a pain. To be honest my space works better with one, at the moment. Less chaos. I was wondering if the LED might of had something to do with the Strawberry turning male/hermie, all that blue light in veg. Who knows... Okay so time for an update. The only thing I really noticed so far with the LED, is that the onset of flowering after switching to 12/12 seems to be very fast. This Blueberry Headband has some serious smell to it already. Couple of pictures taken, yesterday... And a little closeup, some what out of focus... So pics were taken day 8 of 12/12. Not really being fed anything yet. I did give her a very very light feed on Monday. More next week. Take it easy all... Just a quick edit to say. I never bothered taking any clones from her. Once I saw she was already flowering this much, I didn't have the heart to take one of her limbs away. Still got another 2 of these in cold storage, plus all my other HSO goodies to try..

ditchthedealer Posted September 27, 2017 Share Posted September 27, 2017 Coming along nicely for 8 days, a shame about the strawberry amnesia. Ive had my eye on the strawberry am for sometime, I tried her before and I liked it. If the Blueberry headband grows anything like the Lemon Kush Headband she will be a very productive plant. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HSO-Mark Posted September 28, 2017 Share Posted September 28, 2017 These are coming along very well mate They look to be well into the flower phase with around 10 more days of stretch then all focus will shift into bud and trichome production Great to know about the faster onset of bloom with the LED addition I'm sure many growers will find this valuable info Looking splendid so far. Thank you for taking the time to update your thread and thank you for the added pictures very much appreciated! Until the next one Kind regards HSO-Mark.. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hahaha Thanks for dropping In. @admanbadman I did a little LST training on the branches and removed all the bottom fluff. Other than that, just letting her do her thing. Seems to not be stretching too much now anyway. I have the Blue Dream also which Mark kindly gifted me, along with the Amherst Sour Diesel. I Hope to do them, in the New Year at some point. I'm a sucker for anything, with Blueberry in it. Anyway, hope you give the diary a go and good growing! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Halfatree Posted October 2, 2017 Author Share Posted October 2, 2017 Thanks all for the comments. Okay time for a little update. 2 Weeks flower complete today on the BH, start of week 3! Couldn't quite believe it, so had to go back to the diary to make sure.. I was seriously thinking this was 3 weeks done.. Couple of pictures taken a short while ago... And a closer shot! Looks to be a really nice plant. Loving the resin already. Kicking myself a little, I never cloned it. Oh well... And boy does it stink... Take it easy all.... 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
admanbadman Posted October 2, 2017 Share Posted October 2, 2017 They are looking LUSH mate ........Day 15 of flower WOW ..... stems looking THICK and buds taking shape I see those canes out already Think you can take cuttings off them couple weeks into flower... Sure ive read on here they can flip bk to veg but just take a while to root (and wierd leaf growing that stops after couple weeks) Im sure someone with better credentials will confirm/ dismiss that as im not 100% sure all best 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muppet Posted October 2, 2017 Share Posted October 2, 2017 Ime they rarely root once that far in, if they do they take forever. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
