got the bean as a freebie awhile back and decided to pop it and do a few runs with it. My question is has anyone here ever grown it? And how did you like it? How was your yield?

the buds aren't overly dense on the strain but the highs and flavors were worth growing if you get a good female I'm sure you will keep it. the trichrome production on both phenos i had were really good .. it was also really hardy in veg

Beautiful grow Phil! Was that in soil or water? I just ran 12 throw flower and got less than satisfactory results but I don't think it was the plants fault. I didn't have a ph meter or ppm and they were definitely deficient of some elements because the fan leaves were yellow with brown spots on them. The batch I just put in flower 2 days ago look great though. No deficiencies that I can tell of, so I'm hoping they're going to be better this go around.
I'm growing in soil using RO water with humboldt grow, bloom, micro, cal/mag, bud candy, big bud, and in the first 2 weeks of flower AN piranha, tarantula, voodoo juice then ph to 6.3 and feed. So hopefully with all that I'm going to get better yield. Trying DWC in a week or so as soon as my clones are ready. Never tried hydro before so this should be fun!

thats in our soil system.. all my grows and pics are always in the soil system only.... just that base media and water.

yeah everything worth a try so you can get it under your belt.. but you couldn't pay me to go back to chemical growing. to much shit to deal with

yeah... depends on a lot of things... feed... ph.. build ups.. lighting environment.. etc... but one thing shorten your plants the taller the plant the more energy that is use to move the food from the base to the tips as opposed to using that energy for production.

yeah those are looking better.. i would recommend two things one get our of plastic pails next time they hold water much longer and due to the depth sometimes you dont realize how wet the bases are staying and it can hinder growth a lot... the other is get them off the cement floor ... put something under them the plastic pots are wicking up coldness from your cement that cold slows your rooting growth and uptake.. you generally want them at least a foot off the ground so that they aren't sitting in cold air zones where your natural cold air sits. but even just getting a 1" piece of foam under them will make a noticeable change.

I never even thought about the root zone getting too cold, great idea I will definitely do something about that. The buckets have holes drilled in the bottoms so they'll drain, if that makes a difference!?

No I'm not heating at night. Should I be?

no its really still a depth thing its harder for the deeper soil to properly dry but especially on cold cement. getting them off the cement alone will help with your yield issues. having your root zone in proper temps is essential in soil/soiless media... even more so in organic soil growing where a lot of your activity in the soil takes place at warmer temps.

What do you suggest I grow in other than buckets? I bet the cold floor will work great for my DWC, right? Would cinder blocks work under my buckets? On there side of course.

they are fine for now don't go changing them.. next time use something like root trapper II.... i would put something like a milk crate... or something like that..
