I think I want to run that Critical Cheese. How does it smell?
I'm loving the smell like a lemon version of the cheese... I've grown a big Buddha cheese and it reminds me of that mixed with almost a lemon skunk..

ill prolly end up going all 1000s for flower, go big or go home i guess, just gona $$ pay for it in the end.

I know of 3 phenos, but I will just have to play around with it to get the right one, or come snag a cut from you haha.

Ya i going to split my flower room in two. 6 plants(4x4 each) in two 12x12 rooms. pump those suckas full of c02 and light!

How does she do with the raised temps running c02? you run it warmer for yours through out and slowly drop it near the end for some color change on her?

True that the 600's offer more lumens per watt however the 1k's put out more lumens total.. the 1k's are the way to go..
Yeah 3 main phenos and the 4th which I have.. however talks of another more on the sativa side..
She loves the cO2 ... And high temps... I kept her at 85 day and 75... My critical throws out pinks and guava colored hairs without cold... I will however try some cold treatment this round...

You have any problems with those big ole roots clogging your pumps or sprayers?
They look good and healthy but that would be mine only concern.

No clogs they've grabbed the airstones and I guess they're busy with that...lol the pipe I'm using its 1.5"... I'm messing with water pump speeds to find the optimum water flow rate/amount of turbulence to increase yield... I do still have about 4 weeks to go... So we'll see...

be careful they dont clog those pipes. haha I have seen some crazy roots doing crazy things. it shouldnt be to bad since you didnt veg em out, which is where you would have ran into some major cloggy IMO if you did and they got big.
We used 3" pipe so they wouldnt clog and it funny how when harvest comes you yanking roots from the pipes still.

Thanx for the tips, I'm planning on building it bigger when I get my new space...I may have wanted to keep the same size, but I don't mind upgrading to save myself a headache... Yeah this was a test run and wow...these ladies are catching up to plants I had vegged out for a month

ya dwc anit no joke. give the plants exactly what they need right then and there no bull shit, but can f up a whole garden if not looked after (you dont have to worry cause i know you are always in there haha)

Do you find that you can half your normal dose in the DWC? or you running full strength with out any problem?

Cool. Sometimes certain strains can be fickle in that system. Glad u didn't just start it full strength and worked up to it.

I'm excited to see how the ck will do in it with out the veg time

IMO dwc will give u the biggest plants the quickest but it can come with a set of headaches when it starts messing up. Water temps have to be at a constant 60-70 range or u get bacterias and loss of metabolism (slower growth).
I like ebb n flo systems personally. They have big root development too but dwc is prolly faster overall.
Coco is good and all but I haven't been able to get the same results as I have with the other two.

I've never tried ebb n flow, straight to dwc.. I had issues due to inexperience in my last thread... Shit hit the bricks and hard...I was pissed, so I stuck with coco till I built my system... Now I'm in amazement every time I see my babies

Ya check out the video of the facility. It shows you what a million dollar operation looks like in canada.
The system they are using is the Current Culture H20.
You can find some videos on there website of how the glats them works and if you like it make one off their designs. You could buy it but they are pretty expensive.

I modeled mine based off of some of there concepts, and I had run they're 12 site.. however due to problems at the facility it was shut down a week after the clones were dropped in...
Awesome video, and it definitely gives me something to aspire to..
