    GH Kool Bloom - how to use it for best results?

    Feed them NOTHING but water while ur flushing. Otherwise, it isn't flushing :) I used the dry KB the 3rd to last & 2nd to last weeks of flowering.

    Just wanted to give a quick update on the NL5XNH (sativa expression) in my personal smoke tent... be careful how you prune/train her. LST fine as always, but she is definitely on the sensitive side & doesn't like being pruned. She sagged more than anything else in the tent at "haircut" time, and...

    GH Kool Bloom - how to use it for best results?

    Wouldn't that mean GH Grow is "the same" as GH Bloom? Same salts, Nitrogen, Phosphorous & Pottasium right? Wrong. If they were the "same" you could swap either out for the other. Not a huge fan of GH... but its does work, it's cheap & found everywhere. Hearing ppl say to use Koolbloom...

    GH Kool Bloom - how to use it for best results?

    So, the liquid and dry Koolbloom are the same... except for several things that are different? Lol

    New Vero29 v7 Kits

    Dunno... Vero18's are a bit down the list, performance-wise. The Vero29's are better than the 18's, still reasonably priced (about 1/3 cheaper than Cree3590's) & from what ive seen, just as effective, watt for watt, as the cree3590's in real world practice. The Vero29's ARE tad bit less...

    New Vero29 v7 Kits

    Bump. Got a good laugh from that one :) Yah, Meanwell's are the shiznit. The "A" versions (screwdriver dimmed) can be cranked OVER 100% with no apparent issues -(the "B" versions don't allow this). Check out LED Growers YouTube channel... surprising how much the HLG's can withstand. My 120H-54A...

    Yah, I been popping pics left and right... it's just a POS, though, and I can't get anything close up to show properly :p A lot (about 1/4, maybe 1/3?) of the NL5hazes have shown the suppressed smell genetic - actually a highly sought after gene in the 80's-90's. Seeing 2 definite main phenos -...

    If you're into bubble hash/ice water hash - HASHPLANT!!! Lol A proper cross of HP or PNW-HP, produces those extra big, monster trichomes with the huge fat heads, absolutely PERFECT for making bubble hash and dry sift. Don't get me wrong - love me some teensy tiny trichomes, too - the extra fine...

    Earthworms

    My suggestion is don't use coco... at least with worms... sphagnum + aeration + compost/worm castings, equal parts ;)

    Earthworms

    The salts statement is a good idea... but inaccurate. Excess salt concentrations are what cause us the problems... not whether they are dry "salt crystals" or not - hence the tendency for hydro water to get more and more "salty", requiring topping off & Rez changes to keep salt concentration at...

    Earthworms

    To address the first paragraph - Bugs have MUCH different environmental requirements & survivability thresholds than do the beneficial microbes we seek to nurture. Much like a human beings drinking water with low concentrations of chlorine bleach in it. Our larger bodies are able to handle it no...

    Quick question... why set on coco? If u don't mind my asking I've always considered it's value as an excellent "pseudo-hydro" for those aiming for that style of grow. I understand wanting to use coco on hand... just seems that Spagnum Peat Moss/compost-worm castings/aeration (long live...

    Wow... 6 week wonders with potency are rare. Man, you could start a seed company around that level of gear! ;) One specific Nl5XNH that I've got my fingers crossed on - def going to be a longer finisher (10-12 weeks best guess for how she's looking now), just sprouted a sheen of silver/clear...

A couple friends & I are all running...

    COOOT!!! Highly recommend ANYTHING from Jim Bennett, aka; Calackamas Coot! In addition to genetics, proper nutrition is a MUST when growing next level potency, and of all the advanced, old school organic growers, imho, Coot is the "Mack-est Daddy" of them all! His advice on making & mixing your...

    Thanks for the kind remarks, bud ✌ Oooh, the "Nl1XPNW Hashplant" has set my "cannabis spidey sense" to tingling lol Haven't run any decent HP crosses in a grip. I swear, just like the good ol' NL5XNH males, high quality Hashplant seems to be a shockingly good breeder... it's crosses seem to...

    Looking to order a purple or blueberry strain need help!!

    I will hand it to you whyte, a lot more purple/blue in various sativa lines than I had realized... Not used to being wrong, but I think this qualifies lol Def found a couple wild sativas exhibiting blues/pinks. For the record though, none of MY sativas (in 21+ years of growing) have ever...
