    Mars Hydro SP-3000 vs Dutch Passion - Orange Hill Special (Supersoil)

    What I have learned from now is she really enjoys the soil/light setup. She is lush and green and takes to the environment like a dream. She smells really orangy already! The only warning that also Dutch Passion gives and I've seen with other (pretty experienced) growers, is it is prone to...

    Mars Hydro SP-3000 vs Dutch Passion - Orange Hill Special (Supersoil)

    Week 7 - Vegetation They are going slow but steady. Holding back on watering to help fight the gnats. They were with too many last week. Some yellow points because of an 'on the limit' foliar feed. Nothing to worry about. Still very lush greens. I'm thinking the main reason for their slower...

    Expert Gorilla germination disaster leads to hope

    This week I tried to let them go, only did some gnat hunting with the vacuum to keep populations down. Sunshine found a great way to hold the plant down with some thrift store Christmas light fixtures. At the end of this week, I tied the remaining upward stalks down and away. The final bits of...

    5x 600 watts 1x 400 watts run to waste

    The overview pic looks a little like reedplumes, so many buds but also the shape of the buds... Its sick! Well done. And totally unexpected that the LED buds would be so much denser. I would've thought the HPS would have deeper penetration.

    5x 600 watts 1x 400 watts run to waste

    Yes that whole grow is impressive but the led grow sog seems much denser too or is this an optical illusion? My theory on this is that hps on that distance has much more heat (not less light in any case and HPS is reaches much deeper IMO) so the buds and plants stay more airy as a reaction to...

    Expert Gorilla germination disaster leads to hope

    Srry this is truly week 6 She truly might be becoming the Gorilla that was promised, huge leaves. Not as pungent or bushy as the Orange Hill beside her but she seems to get there. I'm finally seeing some exponential growth, I'm going to give them as much rest as I can coming weeks to maximize...

    Mars Hydro SP-3000 vs Dutch Passion - Orange Hill Special (Supersoil)

    Week 6: Vegetation The grow has been going great! If you don't count the about a thousand fungus gnats I have been fighting. I'm manually manifolding and training the girls, into the desired shape, which is a bit hands-on but I see it as a collaboration more than a 50 shades approach to...

    Mars Hydro SP-3000 vs Dutch Passion - Orange Hill Special (Supersoil)

    Yeah I have that too, Im still finding my way for the ideal seeding environment, a little presoak in warm water, then straight to seeding soil but leaving it in there for a 2 week period max. Then I switch to my own super rsoil recipe. When my seedlings are stretching I put the light a little...

    I've been seeing it more and more with other growers too. For that reason I'm not defoliating unless I have to, I did train cause I'm still in a tent, but going to leave them to do their thing after that. It puzzles me how those lower buds are still developed so far from the light.

    Thats a succes, my god what a jungle of weed! I hope one day to have room this size. Excellent job, at first I was like: maybe some more training to let the light work the whole plant instead of only top? But I must say, those buds on top have nothing wrong with them :P Again excellent job, hope...

    Hi Herk! Looking at those seedlings, with the real black earth and the green seedblocks, Im thinking you're watering just a tad over; try to give them time to breathe, with every grow I give them only once in two to three days, to help them search for water and make bigger roots. This prevents...

    Yes had a couple of weeks delay because of stress, the seeding soil I used was not very good for them... But they are catching up, was planning a longer veg anyway.

    Week 5, Vegetation What a beautiful strain Orange Hill Special is, nice and bushy, great internodal spacing, sturdy and healthy. Happier and happier with how this grow is going. The less beautiful parts on top are my doing, my 'blind as a bat' FIM destroyed half the top of the plant. More...

Your grow is looking very nice!! As an experienced shed grower, I'll just as for some basics you might have already...

    Expert Gorilla germination disaster leads to hope

    Week 6, vegetation She seems to thrive in the new soil, I'm checking her regularly because of the darker ridged leaves, could I have overdone the bloodmeal content? It should not have overfeeding effects with organic super soil. But we'll see. The film seems to have taken hold with her and...
