Well now thats three votes for soil based on the taste.
What I hadn't mentioned is If it were hydro I would use a waterfarm 8 pack for containers, coco husk for media, recycle waste drip system. I got the full line of Dutch Masters Gold nutrients with additives as well liquid light and zone. I also got a new chiller so I think I can do it right.
I like trying new things and I never grew in coco before besides I got all this stuff already. I gotta say, I'm leaning that way.

Coco is nice, I think if you are looking for a heavy hitting indica, look into northern lights, almost every time I have it, it is some potent knockout body buzz stuff.

Oh sweet, I grow in coco and it is the biz. I've seen people using hydro systems with it and doing really well, I just water by hand because im cheap, lol. I change my vote. coco hydro!

New chiller? Yeah, sounds like you've made up your mind...lol
Ha! I guess it does.
I've had this chiller for over a year now, I just been vegging in soil so I haven't used it yet.
Gotcha on the vote. Yeah, after what I have read about coco, stable pH and water/nutrient retention combined with all the air in between it sounds like the perfect growing media.
Ya know man I thought of that before building that hydro tube. I decided against it because of plant size. I figured there is no way I could veg them long enough to make a difference. Now you got me thinking, If I were to just use the top buckets in the tub to veg with it would give me enough height, then moved the pants in the top buckets to the system in the green house I could veg faster and get larger girls. I would need a heated platform out there... old water bed heater would work. Yeah, OK, sounds like a plan.

care to explain
Got some shots of the second batch, Train in back and Bubba in the front. Look's like I got all of them to pop. The third train wreck just broke soil today. I took one pic each day,
They are at 5 days from seed now.
I'm pretty sure I will only be able to fit four of them in the greenhouse but it never hurts to have a backup.
The TD is 4 weeks today, They are just loving life.
Been watering every other day. Well, the last two were feed (500ppm) cause I mixed to much but the next two will be water with hygrozyme then back to feed.

OK, this morning I watered the Master Kush real good. Not a flush, just heavily watered. I want that chi ching to do its thing. I figure I got about a week left of flower power with the sun, then I hit 14 hours daylight. In another week or so it should be safe to bring the girls out here to veg this summer.
Silver Jack is done drying, I started taking it down today. In my case I move a lot of air and the buds can be dried well enough with a little moisture still left in the stem. I still didn't get a clean snap but I've found another way to test to see if its dry. I cut off a chunk of a top cola and roll it up. Take a couple hits, see if it burns evenly then set it in an ashtray. Let it set for 60 seconds, if it is still burning and I got white ash, time to cut. I still bag it for a couple days before jars.
Here's a shot of the first two plants.
Looks like I better get started.

Whoops, I missed this the other day, Northern Lights?
I've heard that was awesome and I have never grown it. Good suggestion man. I'll do it.

I agree.
Also, you might want to try another OG, however yield is usually diminished.
Ok, OG northern lights #5 then.
I'll check it out when I'm done here.
I got the first two plants bagged.
You can see I fill the bag up to the first fold. Anymore and ya gotta shake it a bunch.
Here's the next two, then I got one left.
Trichs didnt shine in the pic like they do, hella sparkles.

LOL, now you are combining strains Cruze, I was saying as an alternative to Northern Lights, try growing another OG Kush strain.

T here & I forgot about your grow & it looks great. I dont have the green house but I am working outside with a forced flower project. Something you may want to look into so you can harvest all summer long.
Basically you need to cover your plants after 12 hours of sunlight, I have turned off my grow light in my grow cab & put my plants in there around 6:10 pm at the moment. Then taking them back outside after dusk
I have some great results going on, Jilly Bean @ week 3 of flowering
Keep up the great work & are you going to the cup next month?
