I have a question that you may have already addressed but this thread is huge. I read that you have only done this strain with your air pots for 2 harvests.... Have you inspected the root structures and compared them to your previous grows without these pots? I understand that they would be different strains of course. I'm a big fan of trying new things that will increase my quality and yield. I'm thinking of an overhaul on my box soon and I might consider these pots if you think there is true value to them. Thanks for your input.

This is only my second soil grow ever and I decided to go with the air pots. I seen some good results with them from other growers and I wanted to give em a try. I'm normally a hydro guy but when I first started this strain, I started them in dirt and for some reason I just stuck with it. I will eventually return to hydro when I can successfully setup a good ebb & flow system. As far as the root structure goes, I'm very pleased with the results but I can't give you a comparison between the two because I've only used the air pots. I can tell you that the air pots do work just like there supposed to. When this grow is over I'll take pics to show what the root structure looks like when using em.

Awesome colas to say the least, they looks solid and super dense. You inspire me bro, where did you get those air pods again?...I've had such good success w/aero-hydro, but like to try those air pods for a couple rounds. I'd like to see what an aero-hydro grow whould do for ya...Awesome grow

Thanks bro I appreciate the kind words and I'm glad I can be an inspiration to ya, lol. I see a lot of people using the aero with great results. The only thing that bothers me about it is that if the power ever went out you'd be screwd and the roots would dry up pretty quick.
I get all my air pots on eBay. The guy I get em from is real cool. If he doesn't have what you looking for listed for sale like size and quantity, just shoot him a message and he'll put it together for ya. I just special ordered 8 one gallon pots from him the other day. I'm thinking about doing a soil sog on the next run.
It really sucks that I don't have more space to grow right now. The space I do have is really only big enough for one nice size plant. That's why I'm leaning towards growing 8-9 smaller plants in a sog style grow.
Anyway that's enough rambling for now. Here's a link to the air pots on eBay.

Thanks for the info Dropastone, I might go ahead and buy 4-5 of those air pods... I do not want to keep my mommas in aero-hydro, cuz if I screw up, aero-hydro growing is unforgiving. I've seen other growers ruin a crop by over feeding, adding molassasse, so forth when they were so close to completing a grow.
But once you get a routine down, aero-hydro can produce some awesome bud, some growers claim it cuts down grow time as well, but I don't think so. I cut 4-5 weeks off this grow from my 1st cuz I started to go 12/12 after 4 weeks of vegging, 1st grow I vegged for 9 weeks.
My 3rd run I am sticking to all organic fertilizers, micro-nutes and any supplements and of course distilled water. But if you do have interest down the road I'll give that grow guide I use, it's kinda old school, but it works for me. Btw anytime you like a few clones, let the weather warm up abit, I'll throw a few in my saddle bags and Harley in your direction, if you know what I mean, take care, thanks again for the info...

Flowering Time : Medium
Outdoor Harvest : October
Height : Medium
THC Level : (12% - 16%)
Characteristics : rich and sweet
Dinafem Seeds Diesel is another legend arisen in the United States of America. The file genetic of this variety is too long to be explained here, but basically it comes from the line ChemDawg, a peculiar genetics that needs chemical fertilizer to give all the flavour, it has a very intense and lasting flavour but at the same time is rich and sweet. When it is cultivated organic they call it Dawg, and when it is cultivated chemically, Chem. Of that genetics, that arrived at NYC through a cultivator who obtained esquejes, it became a crossing with a Superskunk x Northern Light and the Dinafem Seeds Diesel line was derived. It was called thus by the scent to petroleum that it produces is fresh.
It is necessary to know that she is one of the varieties more sold to be consumed in the USA, which says much on his great popularity. The strong points of this variety are the flavours lemon, mandarin, and with a touch of diesel fuel, as well as the determined persistence of the same in exemplary. This retropaladar is the main reason of the great success of this genetics, and the other factor that its so popular, is the slight and manageable effect sativo that it owns. Indeed, it is a slight effect, nonextreme, nothing heavy, that disappears gradually, and easily manageable, because non anesthesia in excess. It is a very bearable plant, by the low content in CBD, and the effect is much more cerebral that physical. Of very easy culture, the mould in fresh zones outside resists moderately, and it does not give any problem of fungi in the Mediterranean zones. The Dinafem Seeds Diesel contains growth, and green color clearly. Its production turns into an excellent great election for the outer garden, especially if the flavour is the factor nº1.
1 free UFO#2 Dinafem Seeds White Widow
Sex : Feminized
Type : Indica, Sativa, Indica / Sativa, Mostly indica
Flowering : Photoperiod
Genetics : Haze x Skunk x Northern Lights
Flowering Time : Medium
Outdoor Harvest : 70-80 Days
Height : Medium
THC Level : 16%-20%
Characteristics : extremely potent, beautiful buds
Dinafem Seeds White Widow is the most potent cannabis on Earth and is named for the abundance of trichomes, giving the plant a whitish tint. It is also one of the more powerful strains of marijuana (alongside AK-47 and Afghan Kush) with a very high 20%-25% THC content.
White Widow feminized seeds are (60%/40%) indica/sativa cross-strain and is best suited to indoor cannabis cultivation. Cannabis seeds grow as high as 35-80 cm with the yield up to 450 gr per m2. It's suggested to flower (12 hour light) this marijuana variety for 8 weeks, but 10 weeks will really give you the crystals you are after. Try to turn the lights off altogether the final 2 weeks of the flowering cycle- or at least down to 8 hours. This keeps the flowers from re-growth and stresses the plant into giving up its last drop of goodness as crystal to protect the flower! The buds have so much THC on them that it is hard to see them at all.
White Widow feminized seeds produce plants that give you the taste of freshness laced with many fruits, because of the strength of the cannabis crystals - the only real taste goes hand in hand with the expectorant effects of the THC. The smell is strong pungency. It first hits you, then follows a sour sweetness with the final whiff ... turning sweet. If a plant could have a strong body odour then the White Widow needs a deodorant.
Cannabis smokers adore its sweet, thick, acrid smoke that imparts a hammering stone. Extremely powerful. Recommended for experienced smokers only.
All these for 64 bucks, don't think I'll be worrying about buying any new seeds for a while.
Peace.

Nope, and I aint gonna flush em this round either. I'm starting to lean towards a no flush. Been doing a lot of reading on the subject here lately and I'm starting to believe it's all a bunch of malarkey.
Check this thread out if you got the time. There's some pretty good info in there.

Yep, I had to spend $30 pounds in UK currency, that's $48.81 in US currency but I had to buy a pack of papers to hit the 30 mark. With shipping it all came to around 64 bucks. The promo is going from today until the 7th. There's still time if you want to get in on it. Plus you can enter for a chance to win a trip to Amsterdam. I also got a free t-shirt as part of the birthday promo.
