Couple of Q's TC, I've followed your grows, is that just the perfect single cola strain? How do you get just a top to bottom single cola with no branching? The strains I run don't grow at all like that. I started my latest batch with the panda film over the tray as I have excessive humidity issues, no problems 1 week in. how's your cover working out?
That looks like a lot of work to clean up. Very nice plants though!!
Trichrome, I notice you have some nitrogen toxicity in your latest pics and I'm curious to know a solution as I have had the same problems. I use botanicare cns 2 part nutrient formula. The directions recommend a 50-50 mix of veg and flower nutes during the transition. I recirculate my reservoir for 2 weeks. It takes roughly a week to show sex.
The first time I filled my reservoir to 1100 ppm using 500 ml grow and 500 ml bloom. This literally wiped out 4 of my weakest plants, and I got massive clawing on the rest. Next rotation, I went with 300 ml grow and 700 ml bloom. This time went a LOT better but I still have toxicity symptoms, mainly the claw.
My question is, what should I do? I have to have grow nutes in my res for 2 weeks. Should I lower the amounts to 200 - 800, or possibly put grow nutes in for only the second week of the first two weeks of flowering?
Thanks TF, I've followed al for a while and do all those practices with Blue Bonic, a indica dominant strain, and specifically, it looks like your NL*BB are all cola from top to bottom. Did you do any trimming at all for that batch, or do they just grow with no side branching. I air-cool also, about 12 inches from the canopy, and trim the bottom third. They veg no longer than a few days to establish roots, clones are cut about 6 inches, not 9, but with thick stems. Where can I pick up that strain?
Thanks for the response trichome. I thought the clawing of the leaves was a sign of over fertilization. Cuz your plants looked just like a couple of mine.
@Trichome
What are some good strains to run this method on??
Had great success with Purple Urkle

... you can run any strain you'd like in a sog...but I like to stay away from the long flowering strains myself, they like to overgrow the table, which means a 'heavy' lollipop. I tend to look for 'commercial' strains![]()
Better question..
What strains have you been more successful with than others?
