Harvest a Pound Every Three Weeks!

Obama Kush

Peaches N' Cream

Violet Delight

I am currently an all soil guy but this looks very cool and simple to make and use... I know you use CO2 and you had stated that it keeps the roots small... I i am not using CO2, and I am wondering if you think the roots would get to large inside the fencing posts? thank you very much this design is great and very much the KISS method!

If you're currently having success with soil then don't switch yet. I'm seeing guys pull 2lbs per 1K light around here using soil. The larger the pots, the bigger the plants.

Of course I've said this a million times but it all comes down to genetics. If you're growing indoors, under big HPS lights, then your biggest improvement will come through genetics. Right now I have over 30 different strains in front of me. Out of all the strains the Headband (707 cut) is the best. Of course the reason it's the best is because it tastes and smells exactly like the OG Kush (SFV cut)! haha Man I love my Kush!!!

I did want to give you guys a quick heads up on the Cookies project. The Cookie tent is fucking crazy!

Holy shit, Trainwreck Cookies! Rock hard nugs covered in resin.

Even the fucking fan leaves on the Blackberry Cookies are covered in crystals.

The Orange Cookies are greasier than an old Chinese restaurant!

The Pineapple Cookies reminds me of strolling down the beach in Hawaii... with a bag of rotting fruit.

Lick your little finger and stick it in a bowl of sugar, now hold it up....that's what the buds on my Mystery Cookies look like. One long, oily calyx! All it needs is a porch and a banjo...

The Blue Dream Cookies are spicy with a sweet pepper smell.

Grape Cookies smell like a jar of candy soaked in fuel.

Bubba Cookies...there are reasons why it's against the law to marry your cousin.

Headband Cookies might be a hero but it's too early to tell.

Stay tuned for photos soon...

bring on the bud porn!!!!! woohoo

Blackberry Cookies #1. This is the first pheno of my Blackberry X Thin MInt GSC mix. Super dense with a spicy smell. Even the fan leaves are covered in crystals.

Here's a shot of Blackberry Cookies #2. This is the second pheno from the same mix.

Closeup of the Blackberry Cookies...

This is Dreamy Cookies #1. Buds are rock hard and huge! Smells just like Blue Dream. This is one of the big producers of the batch.

Grape Cookies is amazing! This is the Grape Ape X Thin Mint cross. The buds are super dense and smell like candy!

This is Orange Cookies #1. It's kind of a freak of nature. The calyxes are the size of my little finger but it's not a big producer. Smells like oranges soaked in fuel.

This is Orange Cookies #2. Same Agent Orange X Thin Mint cross as the last but a completely different pheno. This one is huge! Still smells like orange fuel but all you can see is big white hairs. I've never seen so many hairs on a bud. Hold your arm up in the air and make a fist... that's what the main cola looks like.

Had a buddy from West Virginia come out for a visit. He took home some Tesla seeds but before he left he slipped me a couple. Here is Tesla #1. It's a high CBD strain with only 1% THC. Smells like a pine tree.

I think this is going to be the best out of the whole batch. Trainwreck Cookies looks and smells as good as it gets. It smells just like the best OG Kush. I'll find out soon how it tastes but if I'm correct it could be the big winner. Of course I still have a Bubba Cookies and Headband Cookies to go so we'll just have to wait and see.

This is what I've got so far.

I was finally able to get my humidity up above 40% most of the time now.

Only problem I'm still having, that I notice, are some of the leaf tips curling. It's weird that not all leaves on any one plant are curling and not every plant has curling leaves.

I welcome any opinions on how things are looking.

Looking great! I was just at one of the top farms in the world a few weeks ago and they were running big vaporizers to keep the humidity up above 60%. Some strains will curl at 40% humidity but a lot depends on strains. Strains from the humid tropics will favor high humidity. Strains from dry mountainous regions like Afghanistan like it dry.

Great point

I also find that vapour pressure (forces exerted upon a leafs surface relative to humidity and temp fluxes) especially at night is crucial in a lot types, especially those that like it hot during the day (seem to be happy as long as they can breathe well at night)

and the most unique thing I'm stumbling upon, is the effect on trich size as well as gland length and anthocyanin concentration (high), and one thing i like to do is build pressure up to certain percentages for certain strains especially during the final 1-3 weeks i push the envelope

This is something @DonPetro may appreciate a lot, as i don't know if I've contributed any other findings, lol, as well as @DonBrennon for sure, as it made all my plants go purple that round, not talking tissue I'm talking tish, ooh wee

Ive messed around a fair bit in both sealed rooms and rooms with double intakes and this is the main thing thats been different, the vapour pressure and RH's, not so much the temps

other than that i kept the regime almost identical.

i suppose it could be the foliar regime or lights, but shit, a somewhat killer theory anyway

Hey stinkbud, i am in the process of building my own aeroponic NFT system. I Have 4 plants on each fence post and decided to use a 5x5 inch instead of the 4x4 inch fencepost. I am also using a Platinum LED P600 light and all your recommended botanicare nutrients. I have attached a link to my new thread and any advice for a beginner is much appreciated. I have been following your post (read up to page 120) and over the last month slowly building up my system. Here is a link that has all my pictures. Thanks for your time!
