I like a wide variety of music being a former sax and drum player. What I meant by radio head to Eddie was as in my music buddy I forgot there was band with the name lol. Eddie and I have a similar taste in music from what I have seen and he too likes a wide variety as well. Sorry for the confusion.

:bigjoint:
Sweet. I have been playin guitar since I was a teenager. I love all kinds of music except for most of rap and modern pop and old school whiny country cowboy.

But even those genres have songs I really like so I'm always open to try new music.

My heart lies in progressive rock, jazz and blues.

I did think that video was going to be more Radiohead like. lol.

A sneak pic into each grow area tonight. Taking the day off everyone looks ok to me.

Day off. What's that? I haven't had one since I admitted I was disabled from my illnesses. ;-)

Doesn't sound right even when I write it. Maybe I should actually apply for disability and give myself a break one day.

At least I have delayed my demise for years now one plant at a time.

We harvested the huge viney OG Kush x Trainwreck tonight. What a monster of branches she had. Stakes and ties and bends everywhere. And nice frosty Lemon fuel smelling buds everywhere too.

Despite the week 4 problems that I corrected but lost all the lower fan leaves as she finished canibalizing them. She has produced very beautiful high quality buds. And lots of them. :-)

I will get a few pics and post. I took a bunch and have to sift through them.

Alright everyone. Here is one of the craziest plants I have grown. She was in a #3 pot which is really only 2.5 gallons of soil. She was in hard bondage and still took up 3.5' x 3.5' x 2.5'. She had all cloudy trichomes with little degraded and that nice velvety done look and delicious smell right at 10 weeks.

I actually love growing from seed for this kind of challenge.


The last one was great pot loved by all. This one is even more OG leaning but made some nice big buds.

I think she would have connected up buds better if fed properly during stretch and bloom. But admittedly she got pretty far ahead of me.

It is humbling and great for getting back on track when it happens I think.

She was hard to photograph in my little kitchen but here are the best pics to get an idea.

Isn't this an led comparison thread?

Awesome pics and what a monster of a plant :)

Man you've inspired me to give organics a run. I've already have most of the amendments I need just need compost and ewc. I'm going to try TLO in coco. My Ph meter that I just bought already took a crap on me and the I mixed up the liquid PH solution so I'm not sure if that even is reliable anymore lol. I'll Pm ya when I need help.

Keep it going man !

That's dope a beast of a plant, under the 600 you have correct ? Is that soil for the medium ? Looks bomb

Thanks. I did better than I should have with this one. She had bad calcium deficiency that is plaguing my garden. My well water has dropped its ppm's during the drought this summer. And it is messing up my system of no additives.

I am wondering if it will go back up when the end of summer rain starts.

It's just ocean forest and water only 5-6 weeks in veg while transplanting up and then pure Blend Pro Grow only each watering until harvest after the soil depletes of nutrients in 12/12 about week 2-3.

And yes but 2 600's in the room at this time. Over a 3.5' x 7' area. That is the most important thing. Enough light per square foot. Here just under 50 watts per square foot of Hortilux super hps.

I keep seeing Grows without enough light. All kinds of lights. Just not enough.

Here is something interesting. Everyone seems to be inoculating with myco. It has taken over adding vitamin B during transplant.

Which has been proven to not help the way it was marketed too.

This is a plant in ocean forest and has been given only pure unadjusted well water.

She has visible myco all over the roots.

Much more than Happy frog ever had established in my garden. Or potters gold. Both are heavily inoculated. Oh yeah. Or pro mix with myco.

I couldn't get a perfectly clear pic but the roots are fuzzy with mushroom.

So why is happy frog inoculated and ocean forest is not?

The answer is as funny as pretending to add bacteria to your pots through compost tea.

Also proven not to work in agricultural tests like vitamin B.

You can add stuff but it will only work if the conditions are right in the pots.

And if the conditions are right the bacteria, mushrooms, nematodes and whatever else lives in the soil will appear anyway.

You just need good organic content in the soil.

Happy frog is fox farms budget soil. It has less organic matter in it. So they add a cheap myco pack hoping it will establish.

And apparently it does not work as well.

Think about it. Do we add pests to our room when it gets damp? Or do the gnats just sort of appear?

I was thinking how much micro life is probably swimming around in evil mobo's pots.

I am curious on the myco for establishing clones into perlite/coco inert medium and will be testing the Ionic Root Maximizer Soluble product to see if it speeds things along :hump:

I understand myco can populate the roots in an inert medium. I guess that is where multiple inoculations help.

But I don't see the point if using hydroponic nutes really. The myco can actually compete for the available food. It has no reason to work with the plant in that environment. The nutrients are available for instant uptake to the roots regardless.

But many growers swear by it.

I just wanted to show there is no need to inoculate organic soil. And the soil and nute company knows it.

The myco is supposed to kinda "exfoliate" the roots and make them get all fuzzy and happy.
A humid acid dose hear and there is said to feed the myco
We will see

As I understand it the mushroom attaches itself and extends out from the roots into the soil and can absorb nutrients and feed them to the plant. Increasing the range of nutrient uptake around the pot or ground.


The reason I believe it is a marketed pseudo science is because it has not been proven to help marijuana. The trials showing benefit were in ground other crops.

And trees.

And we supply all the elements in abundance so it is not needed. I think it would just eat and grow using the elements supplied for the plant.

Please post your results. I would like to know if it worked too.

Nothing wrong with the 90's stuff man.

And yeah feel free to reach out for any help you may need on the organics.
