This is a lesson I learned the hard way... it's fun to try new stuff but having a reliable strain in the stable is priceless

That's my favorite too and I just ran out. Didn't keep any from the last run, that's why I've got 4 different strains of it running atm.
Fingers crossed I get something that hits as hard/harder.

Besides topping a few days ago, I've been 100% hands off with the Gelato. She's had no issues to speak of, and is actually out pacing the Blue Dream in stretch even though it went in 2 days prior to her.
With the way she's looking, I decided to go ahead and take a cutting.
She's in the cloner @ 12k lux of hps...
Everyone else is around 28-30k lux @ 400w.

I think I hit a homerun on this one...
I had to give in (thanks to running out of gorilla glue) and take a tester nug from the GDP even though it's only day 52. I quick dried it in the convection oven like usual.
First impression, holy wowzers freaking tricomes!
Even though they're a mix of cloudy/a few clear/amber (still way early), the buzz hits hard.
I mean, you know the sound when they shutdown all the power in a movie??
Like that kind of a heavy "duuuurrrrrrp"... relaxed, not high, "stoned" feeling.
Exactly what I look for in my meds. If it can't help with my insomnia, I'll pass thanks.
Not only is the buzz already great, but I swear there wasn't a hint of grassy taste to it even though it dried out in 90 minutes. I didn't even think about needing to cough. It beats some of my best cured strains on smoothness.
Taste= Grape.
And I mean grape. Not the color purple that "grape" candy and soda taste like...
Anyway, I'm not going to look too much further into it, except to smoke what I've got, until she's good and finished. I don't want to ruin the experience on this one.
The cutting I took is 100% definitely the beginning of my first mother. This lady isn't going anywhere.

Flower currently @ 2.5kW HPS, Veg 315w cmh.
I'm getting some K burn in the flower tent, so I've backed feed off from 1.2EC to .85EC

Is that a Kalanchoe and mammalaria ya got there?

I decided to take another test nug from the GDP.
Still a ways to go but getting there.
Mostly cloudy with a few amber tossed here and there.
I'll probably harvest her around 15-20% amber.

They've only be in for a couple weeks so I haven't had the chance to see if they will yet.
They spent the summer outside on the screened in porch.

The UVB has been putting in the work. It's hell on the leaves, but THC isn't produced in the leaves now is it?

I love it.
I don't think they're as powerful as they say. (Like 4' coverage @ 24")
I keep mine close as you can see and run from 4-8hrs a night. So a lot.
It burns the hell outta the plant, but (I don't have a true side by side comparison) I do know the plants I've used it on have definitely been the stickiest, slow/clean burning buds I've grown.
For 24 watts & $100, I think it's worth it.

A 4' would definitely cause some good disruption to them
I say go for it. I honestly think the only difference between a diy or purchasing a pre-built is your paying the company money for their fixtures.
I know once my bulb goes bad I'll probably switch to a reptile bulb from the pet store. Basically the same thing, but Petco wants $20, California Light Works wants $60.

2) I'm a total tight ass. So if I can save a nickel, I am totally gonna.
Scrap fixture from work, $30.00 lamp and a timer.
Has to be worth a try.

PS. Thanks for your advise.
