Hey man did you ever figure out/decide what was wrong?

Whats your grow media/nutes?

I think it was the soil. Been growing in my own ROLS for a long time now, but wasn't super impressed with my last runs results.

Since I had all these new strains I figured I'd start in fresh FFOF soil. It has always been good to me in the past.

I fed as I normally would with just compost teas and some alfalfa or kelp teas. Nothing bottled. And all plants showed different symptoms, the DOG being the worse, but all eventually just started getting bad.

So all I can think of is the soil. I made a light vegging mix my clones have been in and they all look good, nice and healthy. The clones themselves had a rough start and took a while for them to bounce back but they are sure growing now. I plan on getting a fresh batch of soil mixed and cooking for when they are ready to flower.

This next run things should be back on track. Trying to pull a GPW off my new light I just built and this run didn't really get to show it off much.

I've had some awesome herb in FFOF, but i've also had issues every time I used FFOF. I swapped to Roots Organic Original (the camo bag) and I imagine I will happily be using Roots Organic for a very long time.

I work at a hydro store and I went from selling people FFOF to selling them Roots organic, and using RO myself along with their full nute line + compost tea + some other things.

I have to say that personally I love Roots Organic more than I could ever love FFOF.

My current regiment is: Start in a small pot/1 gallon pot in RO, move up to 2 gallon in RO, then I move to my final container (currently 10 gallon smart pots) and I ammend my final container soil with a high phosphorous amendment; I make a bloom soil I guess.

I like huge bushes trained properly as opposed to a lot of small plants.

But yeah I gotta say i've run into many customers who have issues with FFOF and i've been swapping them all to 100% organic with Roots Organic potting soil and i've had many happy customers.

I dig everything Aurora Innovations other than their soybean/nettle fermentation; i gotta say its all honestly working great for me. Easiest growing ever.

100% organic, Roots organic potting soil, Rainbowmix Bloom soil ammendment, Ancient forest/worm casting top dress, compost tea, full Roots Organic nutrient line, molasses, Ful-power Fulvic acid, Great white myco/bacteria.

Easiest growing ever. I've not PH'd my water in months! (except for my RDWC, but thats hydro so thats obviously very different)

Roots Organic/Aurora Innovations ftw. Its the best soil straight from the bag i've ever used, and i've found its easy as hell to amend. It drains well, its airy, it retains moisture. I've yet to overwater my Roots Organic in my 10 gallon smart pots, and I water often.

With RO and 100% organic soil I don't water to runoff, I don't PH my water, and i'm not planning on flushing this run. This grow is going better than any past grow too! RO makes shit easy

So are these better then regular spring hand trimmers? They seem like it would be easier on the hand maybe?

Those larger clippers are great for cutting larger stems. picked those up from Wally World at the end of the summer on sale for like $8!

Well damn it sounds like I should look into getting some of this Roots Organic.

Yeah I like to grow two or three big bushes in 10g smart pots as well, but was kind of on a strain hunt this last round with all these new strains from BB, so had a lot of mixed plant sizes and pots.

Yeh I'm a big fan of their shit (literally).

I've just been getting really awesome results using it all lately, and I feel its really easy to use and get great results.

Pheno hunts is real shit, did you find any keepers in that run despite your issues? Those freebies looked pretty killer

Well cleaned and washed tubes, put the net up.....

Will increasing the space between net and tubes do anything except increase veg time?

Edit: miss read your ?. Thought you were asking if having the net would mean increased veg time,,, to wich I said --Yep, if you decide to really spread them out and fill that screen to the max.


Having the net low like that may make it difficult to reach under if need be.
Nice roots!

yeah i agree FFOF isn't what i'd call low quality, but I've had easier results with RO

only thing about both of them is gnats and thrips here and there

some batches I've had didn't give me bugs , but last few bags of RO i had gnats flew out upon opening, and i got thrips in veg, starting from seed, in a clean environment...

also almost any bag of FFOF I've gotten in the last two years has the same thing with gnats already being in there when opened

did some research a while back and everyone says nearly all bagged soil is stored poorly before/during shipping to the hydro store

so ultimately it might be best to use bagged soil + preventatives for the buggers or mix a clean batch of veg soil

Well I didn't really get to see the Deep Psychosis or DOG shine, but those are the ones I have clones of. I want to run them again better and see what they can actually do before I pop more seeds for more phenos.

I did have 4 Jakes Dream freebies go female and they grew well until the end so I got to see some of their potential. All four grew different. But there is one that seems like a medium yielder compared to the others, but has my trichs then anything in this run. So I'm going to attempt to reveg it and get some clones from it try to keep the genetics alive.
