2000w Purple Kush/Mystery Beans-RND3

you def need to pop over and peep the updates, just posted them

good luck with the new room brother, if I was near I'd be helping you out man. cannot wait to see some pictures and get extremely jealous. your current setup is 6 times bigger than mine. your new setup will rape my current setup. LOL even with the jealousy I am very happy for you brother. Cheers.

Never heard of grape leaf. I would cross your PK with some master kush and never let anyone have any cuts! MASTER PURPLE

I will hop over there now... I checked earlier and you must not have posted yet. Yeah I am stoked about my new room. It will only be a little bigger 10x12 with a 4x5 veg room, but t is an actual finished room. Currently as you know I am under the house with a pool liner floor and it is tough to keep clean and a tight fit. The new one will be much nicer and I can start really getting dialed in .

That is a great idea man. I need to order some seeds and then I figure I might keep the room I am moving out of with a quad t-5 in it for mothers, but I could use it for some crosses.

OH HELL YEAH!!!!

Raider's own PK cross, I am all game for that show. I am waiting for it man, and making advanced reservations for raiders PK breeding fest, I am gonna be along the entire ride so I could get some breeding knowledge in as well.

I watered tonight witht he same nutes as last time. I had a issue with my drainage, but finally got it resolved. I have a 1" hose that runs from the bottom of my trays under the house and to a gutter drain.. it was plugged and it was a bitch to clear it, but finally got her licked.

The pk is no stretching much at all, I will blame that on the MH's for the first week. The MK and SC is stretching nicely, but I am gonna give up on the even canopy this round as it looks like it will be lumpy. lol

I took a couple pics

Dude everything looks kick ass. Don't worry about the canopy too much, it looks great.


So how are you liking the yellow bottles so far.

I wanted to check out the bloom line. You are only using the additives with no EC right?

I read up on them and they seem very interesting. I wish they would come to a store near me.

Well I really like the silica, I feel like I am really giving them the benefits of silica with the high dose on the yellow bottle.
The 'Roots' I will not be using again, I am sure it is why I have sludge in my res now. I wil have to clean it out tomorrow.
I just gave started the Phat this week so I will let you know in another week. I picked up their organic sweet yesterday because it is 4ml per gal vs 15-20 with the botanicare which works out to 150 gal for a 29 dollar bottle of Bloom sweet for 64 dollars makes 200 gals ( at 15 ml) of the botanicare. A no brainer if you ask me. I really didn't notice a aroma or flavor diff witht he sweet last time either. The Cal/mag seems to be working and is very concentrated too.

I am ate a few of my wifes special cookies earlier and I don't know what I was thinking..I usually only need one, but they tasted so good.

Man I hope you aren't tripping or anything, cuz them edibles can get pretty strong.

Thanks for the quick detailed reply. I am so glad you are experimenting. When I use to read that you are just gonna keep doing H&G and not mess around with anything, it was cool. But I always wished that an awesome grower like you should be experimenting a lot. As much as we'd like to say H&G was good in round one, I think your environment/feeding/lights the whole package is dead on. I am willing to bet that you could pick up almost any line of nutes and have an epic grow.

Just a suggestion you got two trays, and more room for another reservoir, could always run a test side by side of different nute lines.

I do however totally understand where you are coming from. If you get great results with a certain regimen, it is hard to convince one's self to try something else.

Thanks for the kind words man. I really appreciate the props my friend. I am still trying to figure out how I am gonna set up the room. I was thinking of maybe replacing the 2 4x4's with a 4x8, but now you got me thinking I could run a side by side couldn;t I . I am def gonna steal boomers idea of the osb with pool liner over the top and tables on wheels. I am also getting the ocho's ( 8" xxxl reflectors).

I am a little trippy from the cookies, but I have surrendered to the high and am in a great place now.

Oh I wanted to thank someone for the rep, no name was left. I always like to rep back when I get it, so please leave your name so I can give some love back

I'd rather stay anonymous.

what up raider? sorry ive been MIA for a while it gets crazy this time of year. your plants look amazing as always and im completely stoked on that light spreader. i really dont know what to say i htought it was gonna...er...suck. (sorry for the negativity, just expressing my huge misjudgement)

i think im going to invest in some of those. did u just attach it with weld or solder or did it come with a mounting bracket?

one more quick question, are you still weaving your plants through the scrog or is it just tight enough around the stems to support excess weight?

thanks buddy, glad to see all is well still and congrats on the new room!

haha just answered my question about the weaving!

What's up NorCal? The spreaders just snap on the actual light socket..no nead to weld or solder. As for the weaving I did do some weaving with the Mango Kush and spice creek, but I topped the pk this time so it really took too long stretching to do any weaving. I did try to spread the branched out a bit with the net, but no supercropping or weaving this time for the pk.

Man I fuckin hate when you have spent 45 minutes typing update and loading pictures and it drops and you lose it all..anyway fuck the update, I am over it for the moment.
I have been working on my new set-up though. I picked up 2 2x4 trays, 2 500gph pumps, 8x2 steel shelving, and the ebb/flo accesories. i should have the veg room set-up this weekend.
I had a plan for the flower room that was detoured today when a deal came up that sounds too good to pass up on. My buddy at he hydro shop has a 55 gal res-48 pot complete bucket system that he bought and isn't gonna use. I guess it is a 1000 dollar system and he said he will give it to me for 500 bucks.

The New location

My plan

The Purple Kush


Mango Kush

Spice creek

The canopy

Thanks man, yeah these ar two new rooms. I am workin on the veg room now and plan on moving the veg to the new room next week. The flower will finish where it is, I couldn't move it if I wanted to with the screen especially since it looks like I am switching to the bucket system now.

damn your back to make me jump off a roof and snap my back so i can get higher count when i move to cali again hopin this next summer if i can get my ol lady to quit her snifflin`

thats a massive res. and 48 buckets gonna be intense. i got the aero flo2 18site for 275$(and this is cheap) with an 18gal. res.

for 5bills that`s a steal.

anywhere you recommend to get the h&g line at for a good price?

Yeah I just got a recommedation for 24-99 plants and two more patients fo my private collective. So I can increase the numbers, but I still am not sure about how many I will run or the set-up yet. I keep going back and forth between the buckets or the ebb and flow I had originally planned. I just can't wrap my head around what medium I would use in the veg ebb/flow that I can transplant to the buckets in flower. I just feel like this is a good deal on the bucket set-up, but that may not be a reason to change the set-up I have in my head.

As far as H&G goes, I get a discount from my hydro shop. The prices are pretty standard whether you go online or loccal shop. You just need to talk to the hydro shop you work with and ask for some kind of discount if you start using them for all your supplies.
