Looking beautiful @Senokai. I recently harvested a Terpenado F2, I never had anything like cedar show up in that strain, but pine/skunk/fuel and funk for sure.
Lots of interesting phenotypes in that strain. Did you like what came out of the F2? I have made a few F1's with Terpenado. Some crosses used a Terpenado male going into selected females. Other F1s were a non-Terpenado male going into Terpenado females. I haven't explored any of those yet so I really curious to see what your take on it is.

what your take on it is.
My take on terpenado after seeing something like 6 females, there was not too much variety in the expressions I saw. Structurally there are some good appearances with high flower to leaf ratio and potency, but may lack in the actual terpenes. The best terpenes I've found so far came with a more leafy and loose structure and hover around skunk, pine, and fuel. The F2 I harvested from that mom is similar in smells but had some improvements overall in structure. I've got a fair amount of F3's from her and might get to them later this year. It starts off growing sort of slow but finishes really quick once flower kicks in.
Overall impression has been about an 85 out of 100. Room for improvement but potential for really great things right out of the box.

Terpenado does start off slow. Can confirm! I think 85/100 is a fair assessment. It has potential. It's certainly nowhere near your Tangie x Sour Strawberries. Tangie x Sour Strawberries has got to be a 90+ plus strain. I have not had a strain as full of flavor as that one in my garden ever. I'm probably spoiled now lol. I'm actually running Tangie x Sour Strawberries again in my 2x4. More pics to come once they are deeper into flower!

Harvesting is done in the 4x4 and I just reset/sanitized. Next round will be 4x Super Silver Sage, 6x Super Silver Sage x Orange Blossom Special and 2x Band aid Haze (Fem). I will have some pics coming of whats started flowering in the 2x4 pretty soon.

In other news, I'm trying out a new brand of MH Bulb. Has anyone had any experience with IPower before. I havnt seen any terrible reviews so I figured why not. I tend to go with MH while the plants are in veg. It seems like I get better results when using MH in veg. Could just be high af though. 20210126_172320_HDR.jpg

I dig MH.
Ipower has many offerings from different stables, like many brands,,it could be rebranded ( manufacturing by zxy, labeled as ipower)
Not necessarily true- and certainly not a bad thing.
What does a bulb company know about tents?
and what does a tent company know about fans ?
And what does a fan company know about ballasts??
They seem to be making a good brand for themselves , with very reasonably priced products. They must be performing well, because customer feedback has never been more readily available , and powerful , in the retail market.

Here are a few shots of the Tangie x Sour Strawberries for reference
Those are heavenly spears
Well done

Thanks bro!!!! Yea, MH seems to keep stretching down quite a bit in veg compared to HPS and in the summer months it keeps the tent a little cooler. I'm actually going to try running at 800w this summer to see if I can get the temps down a little bit while in flower. Gotta mess around with the variables ?

Since we're nerding out?... What you say makes sense. MH is cooler in temp and is more geared for veg (blue heavy spec), keeping stretch to a minimum... Shorter wave length, tighter spectrum... Tight nodes...cooler temps, less strech'. Ok. While HPS is warmer in temp and more geared for flower (red heavy spec) which tends to lead to more stretch... Looser, more stretchy nodes. So what's better? And when so?? Timing! Well now, one can argue for either side... timing is everything!

Just a rudimentary observation...Im bumping gums....probly sound smoked out...gtg...but carry on ?

I get where you are coming from and I agree on the timing most of all. I typically use the MH a week or two into flowering and then swap to HPS. The stretch is going to happen no matter what so If I can keep everything tight in veg it seems to make my life easier once the ladies start chonking out. There isn't really a wrong way to do it just a matter of preferences.

So this is semi garden related. I just started my first stab at making mead (Honey Wine). Fermentation is underway (making 5 gallons) and its pumping out CO2. I decided to keep the primary fermenter in the same room as the tents are in. I'm sure its a negligible amount of CO2 but its something. Has anyone tried something similar to this? Seems like a fun topic either that or I've been a little stir crazy today.

I would disgree.
I have zipped myself into 4x8 ( poorly sealed) room with my meter.
20 mins of respiration will rise room to 1000 pom CO2.
Just having your plants in the basement with a couple of pilot lights will rise a room a couple hundred part per million.

Absolutely not dangerous, although I think you may have more CO2 there than you think.

That is really awesome data!!!! Well shit all the more reason to brew more often!

Tangie x Sour Strawberries (TSS acronym will be used here on out for ease of reading) by @THT in mid flower. This week in particular the tent is starting to take a very strong citrus/berry aroma. I love this strain. An interesting thing to note. While looking at some notes from previous TSS grows I have found that when growing this strain the Ph tends to drift upward. Not to an incredible amount but the PH will hover around the 6.4 range. I am pretty methodical when it comes to watering and nutrient programs and keep TSS all in the same tote. No matter what I seem to do I get the Ph upward drift. I find the magic spot it 6.0 for ph and can keep it iaround there for the majority of my grows across many strains. Does anyone know why some strains do this? If I had to guess some strains prefer to pull X nute from solution more so than others and could be the cause of the drift?

Hey All. Its been a while...got super busy. The Tangie x Sour Strawberries are getting the chop soon to make way for some Doc D's Bandaid Haze IX 3.0! This round of TSS will be an amazing harvest. Overall an amazing strain that Im going to keep growing. Flavor is absurd and the yield is way above average. Thanks @THT Dont sleep on this strain folks! Next up in the 4x4 will be a mix of Super Silver Sage, 2x Pleasure dome and Super Silver Sage x Orange Blossom Special. They are just turning the corner into flower and onnce I have some interesting bud pics I will post some. Really excited about the Bandaid Haze 3.0....looking for those legendary Piff Terps!!!! 20210319_095930.jpg 20210319_100006.jpg 20210319_100013.jpg 20210319_100021.jpg 20210319_100035.jpg 20210319_100047.jpg 20210319_100054.jpg 20210319_100102.jpg
