I just grew out some gdp from blimburn that had a menthol flavor. It was weird man, even felt like it cooled the lungs just a tiny bit. Not anything like cigs though

I've had a GSC from Cali Connection that was minty, almost like a menthol. Big, long tokes it was so good. Only problem with that, is it's hard to do anything afterward lol. Problem with good flavors... keeps you toking lol.

I like that you use some coco in the net cup to help them out some. I fully expected to be in last place with all you guys, it sucks that some of the fellas have had issues but they are learning and thats whats up. Im learning too

My issues have all been QB related, but I think I have them dialed in now. No more bleaching and everything seems to be picking back up.

I always use coco. Beast mode for the roots in my opinion.

Day 6 from sprout. Can't get roots that quick in dirt.

Your BH is looking fantastic though. How long you looking to veg?
 
Im gonna let it get its manifold and then beef out. Probably 50-60 days. Seems to get them right where I want them. I could go sooner but Im atleast waiting til my flowering girls are harvested. Thats in 40-45 days

If I ever do dwc, I will follow your idea and add coco. Such a good idea

60 days sounds about right for a manifold. You can cheat it by about 2 weeks by fimming the 4th and taking the growth tips off the 1st and 2nd node as soon as they pop, if you ever want to try it.

Smoke said his coco was waterlogging, but it's my go to. I hate hydroton, lava rock is just as bad in my opinion. Rock wool is ok, but doesn't seem to carry the same root growth as quickly in my opinion.

I do about a 60/40 coco/perlite mix, maybe even a little more perlite. I can't seem to drown them no matter what I do which was the idea :)

I only use perlite in my supa soil mixes. Even then, the compost stays very light (LOTS of calcium), so I probably don't need to, but it's insurance. I've honestly never found a need with the coco. What for coco do you use?

I use Cocotek, which everybody tries to shit on because of initial high salt, but if you buffer, doesn't really matter it seems.

I use coco loco, and I actually buffer it with some dolemite lime that has some form of magnesium included, a cup to a bag.
 
I use extra perlite to add a shit ton of air, I read in a coco growing guide that they experienced the best growth with a 60/40 - 50/50 ratio. I think that does cause the coco to dry out faster but Im using 7 gal fabric pots and just showed the wife how to water them bitches so its gonna get watered twice a day now.

Lime, really? My coco is usually right around 7. Apparently it's working, just found that odd lol. I could see gypsum.

How's the ph after the buffer?

I literally have never checked the pH. I use advanced nutrients pH perfect and apparently it works cause Ive had zero issues. Havent used my pH pen with coco yet.

Interesting. Maybe I'll have to play around with that a bit.

I don't worry so much about ph with organic fertilizer and microbes, but there's a lot of folks that could benefit from that info, I'm sure.

I dont know the whole thing behind AN being a "dishonest" or "immoral" company, never researched it but people seem to have something against them besides the pricetag. I was raised up being told "this stuff was what the pros use" so I decided to break the bank. I'm loving it in coco, in soil I had to pH it to 6.5. It was a bitch. Dont use it in soil.... lol

Just out of curiosity, have you tried a control box around your res with AC to keep it cool? Seems like a much cheaper alternative. Just a thought.

I have not, however my reservoir is 15gal and for my rig I use a 1/10hp model so still pricy, but not quite the cash outlay for a 1/2hp.

AC may be a more realistic option for me once I'm not growing in a metal filing cabinet anymore though!

Never indulged lol. Hell, if it works, what's the diff between that and any other synthetic nute, right?

Copy that. Just figured it might be more economical.
 
BigOleNugs19 said:
Yes sir, that might be it, that its synthetic. I lower the doses on my nutes alot in the last two weeks to get that all out. It worked really well last time.

Synthetic is synthetic to me lol. I don't have anything against them, just salt. I use organic because I farm and I have all the material. I think organic grows faster and healthier, but that's probably just my imagination lol.

I also don't flush. It's actually a bad thing. If it's a rainy season, hay will take up extra nitrates... a flush if you will. It shows in testing. Nitrate toxicity is very harmful to livestock, I can't imagine it being any different in cannabis, but I don't know if it's been tested either. Just a thought.
 
Day 42 - CDLC in DWC

Water drops about 2 inches a day - made a nute bucket of 4 gallons - mixed in and made 700 ppm food, with extra calmag (seeing a lot of calmag dots still)

Filled the bucket back up and ppm was sitting 650-700. As we are entering into flower I'm hoping that ppm isn't too high. pH was around 5.6 so i squirted in a bit of pH UP to bump it to 5.8

Started to split the center trunk from the LST - wrapped some duct tape around it - will leave that in place for a day or two to stop the trunk from breaking anymore.
