Sweet man, hope so! They have a good rep I guess. Have to figure out distances from plants and such since I’ve never used LED's. I’m ready to switch flower over too once funds allow. Tired of dealing with all the heat.
My only tip would be keep the lights high and slowly lower them until you figure out the sweet spot so you don’t fry them lol speaking from experience my lights you can supposedly have them 6 inches away haha try more like 18 inches lol

They’ve been under 150 W HPS so the intensity should be roughly the same I would think ?‍♂️. But definitely heading your advice and starting higher. I have 'em at 15” now, they seem to be ok. I’ll keep an eye on them. Either way, once shit hits flower it’s game on because that 1000w hps ain’t playin ?…better get used to it bitches ??

Hey Hitch is that Snow G from then twenty20 Mendocino magazine? I got the magazine from Etsy and it came with some free Snow G fems. I love their autoflowers so I can only imagine their photos are fire.
Yeah man, I’ve been lacks on the pictures, sorry. I popped a pair 12/12 and boy are they different. One is tall and pretty and the other is short and ugly. I mean ugggggly. I’ll try to get pics soon. Lost my joy for a bit.

I feel ya there i popped a few autos just to get my feet wet again after my hiatus and took like no pics and hardly documented anything. now Im getting the groove back and I feel I’m in too deep.

Ps- I popped them Zplash of Banana by Nachos and got 4/4 germ. Running them with a few Briscos Double Banana Dub. Trying to get my banana terps on again. Thanks again for the trade!

She’s looking good halfway home. It all comes down to the smoke test. She’s not going to be a stunner like modern hybrids, but her flavor and effects are great
She's definitely had her share of mistreatment. For one thing she doesn’t like small containers. For that reason I’m not 100% sure I will be able to keep a cut alive until September but we will see. The mom really never improved until I put it in a larger container. I also fed her a little too much to begin with I think. Definitely some tip burn. I didn’t realize her stretch, so she is literally 12 inches from a 1000w hps and I’ve had to use lacing cord to pull her tops back out of the light. Meanwhile, 5 feet below that, I missed a couple of sacks clearly induced by lack of light. They had dropped their wares, so we shall see what happens.

The one clone I’m flowering I seem to have managed a little bit better.

Thanks for the opportunity to run these man. Very excited for the smells.

BLSR (@Idlewilder) at 5 weeks today. I honestly don't feel like I've done this plant justice. Smells like fookin limes though (and something else chemical like). Just amazing.

I had pretty much the same experience, minus the sacks...?or maybe not, not any that I found anyway, but the plant did look like something got to the pistils at some point, which is why I didn't attempt a seed increase, or any crosses, on that one like I originally intended... Haven't found any seeds as of yet, perhaps it dropped pollen that was sterile?...but something happened that made it 'not look right' for a sensi plant.

Were they/yours actual pollen sacks or nanners? Yours honestly looks much better than mine did ?, but I do however see some seeded calyx in these pics.

In any event, I think this cultivar is more of an intermediate to difficult grow. And like idle mentioned (and even though his grow looked solid) it doesn't necessarily 'stun' like modern hybrids in the bag appeal department. But the flavor and effects are there regardless of appearance. I look forward to trying another go at these in the future when I'm in a position to take, as well as provide, better care for the garden ?

They were actual sacks. And I’ve looked twice since and can’t find any more. But they really were 5 feet from the light so I wasn’t surprised.

Boy I agree, sure looks seeded to me (withered pistils and everything) but I’ve pinched open a couple of those calyxes and no beans are forming (yet) so I’m at a loss ?‍♂️ Phantom pregnancy? Lol

I have a clone going that looks a little better than the mom, we will see how that turns out.

I concur, intermediate level at least. Probably difficult level, but that would require a better grower than me to confirm.

All four of my outdoor run are above ground. Pictured are Cobra Queen (left) and JK's Haze (right) from Guerilla Crew Seeds @JoshKalyx

I always sew seeds directly in the soil, but the 2 Cobra Queen didn't pop after 8 days. I dug them up, soaked them for 24 hours, then manually cracked the pair and put them in paper towels. I had taproots on both within 24 hours. Unfortunately, one of the pair did not survive helmet removal. This is when I planted the JK's Haze. Note I let it soak overnight before planting, but she surfaced no problems.
