The more the merrier, buddy!

Making some notes here for myself, I may be narrowing it down a bit. I am looking to keep between four and six mother plants, because I like having some variety but I need a bit more consistency and predictability. Right now my list of keepers and candidates looks like this:

  • Bruce Banner - my #1, a definite keeper, great yields and as potent as it gets. My only clone-only score so far.
  • Medical Glue - searching for a keeper out of a pack of fems. Had one winner seed already but failed to clone it due to logistical challenges. Will definitely keep it around if I can find another. She's #2 on my list at the moment. Would 'settle' for a gg4 cut if I could get one.
  • Huckleberry DesTar - if she lives up to the hype, terpene-wise...I love to have a good blueberry strain around.
  • Shoreline Genetics' Strawberry - reports of crazy fire and heavy yields from this line are making me think it will make my top three.
  • Dank Commander - RD's San Diego Cat Piss cross could be a heavy yielder and I love piss.
  • TX Roadkill - also Shoreline Genetics, she is sort of a slow grower but smelling so skanky! I am trying to choose between her and Dank Commander.
  • Doc's OG x Kryptonite - surprise freebie winner pheno detected! Looks and smells like good Cindy 99 with some grape notes added. Seems like it is going to yield very well. If it holds up to my early expectation then it needs a name; I might call it GQ or 5by5 for marketability reasons.
I really shouldn't keep more than four, but it is so hard to choose! I could cram six in there, but four seems more viable over time. I want to grow everything!

My Current Set Up
a long overdue update ~
When I started this thread I did a lot of things differently. Part of what's great about being a hobbyist Cannabiculturalist is that one can experiment at one's leisure, at least to some extent. I'm going to outline my current set up, because I feel like I'm settling in to a rhythm I like.​

Products:
Royal Gold's Tupur Coco

12" Premium Mesh Bottom Pots I got at my local hydro shop.


Oasis Hydroponic 16-4-17 (aka Jack's Hydro FeED)
http://www.jrpeters.com/products_/16491/19322-jack-s/22663-16-4-17-oasis-hydroponic.html

Botanicare's Cal-Mag Plus* (*Soon to be switched out for Cali-Magic from GH)

MgSO4

Methods
Hand-watering every other day, every day for the bigger girls when in late flower. I use tap water at 7.0pH, always between 100-150ppm, Sometimes I check and pH the nutrient solution down around 6.0, sometimes I don't. I don't actually pay much attention to it at all.

I make stock solutions of the Hydro Feed, MKP, and MgSO4, each concentrated at levels where I add a tablespoon of each per gallon, no thinking.

I fill a glass eyedropper bottle with Cal-Mag.

I add a dropper full of Cal-Mag to each gallon of water all throughout the vegetative stage, but not during flower.

Feeding Schedule
I run plain water about every 4th watering, and no final flush.
Veg Stage:
  • I start with nothing tap water and a dropper of cal-mag per gallon until they are established
  • then I run about 500ppm of the Oasis 16-4-17, plus a dropper of cal-mag, typically 600-750ppm final.
Flip-time:
  • Stop using Cal-Mag,
  • keep the veg nutes around 500,
  • add 1 gram of MgSO4 per gallon
  • add 2 grams of MKP per gallon.
Late Flower: (final 2-3 weeks):
  • Bump MKP up to 3g per gallon.
I vary all this a little bit depending on the plants' condition, but that's the basics of what I am doing these days, and it seems to work pretty well.

Before I switched to the hard-sided plastic pots I pulled almost 5 zips of Bruce Banner grown in a 3 gallon fabric bag. I'm hoping to get close to that on every plant, before too much longer.

That's a lot of MKP, I'm surprised you don't have issues with it.

My base feed analysis is 4-1-4 so I've been bumping up the P in flower. I'm not sure I really need that much, but I don't seem to be hurting the plants with it so far.

What sort of problems do you see with too much MKP? I would assume Phosphorus toxicity, but I'm not seeing it.

If it's not causing tox issues then you must be okay. I suspect the soil is buffering it. MKP is 0-52-32, so a little goes a long way. I use .25g/gallon.

I remembered that, about your setup, and I was pretty hesitant at first to use as much as I am now, but my starting P is so low compared to a lot of systems I eventually pushed it up. I also run straight water every 4th watering or so. Cheers!

This was originally in response to another post on a really fucking stupid thread, but I deleted my post there and moved it here, because I was wasting my breath. I might as well waste my breath on my own damn thread.

The two-party system isn't something you can be "against" because it exists as an inevitable result of the way we determine the winners of elections, not as the result of ignorant tribalism.

Winner-take all voting is fundamentally flawed.

Hello, internets; If you are a person who lives in a country where people vote then you should consider it your civic duty to watch the video series below. If we get educated on how voting systems work, and what is possible, maybe we can turn this ship around.

Welcome back!

Thanks man, pretty pumped, but I hit an electrical snag this morning, need a technician.
All the lights and appliances on half the circuit lost power, for a few minutes, without tripping the breaker this morning. When I started reducing load on the circuit everything came back up, but one outlet made crackling noises when I unplugged the python's heater, even after the plug was out. I took it apart and inspected it, saw no signs of heating, but all of the above is telling me I need to have an inspection and probably some service done before I proceed much further. I added a number of aquariums to my home since spring and the heaters for those add up to a significant load, so I have some logistics to attend.

Great thread. I'm totally stealing that barbless hook for LST idea. So simple! Love it.

Thanks, man! It really works, I will probably go back to using it. I appreciate your kind words, it's good to be back. The only downside to the fly line backing is it is a bit thin and will cut into the stems sometimes. You could get around that using thicker material or sliding some thin silicone tubing over the string before tying on the second hook. The plants don't seem to give any fucks about it, so I probably won't modify the technique. I can't wait to see these beans pop!

Dropped 3 Rare Dankness Dank Commander and 3 Shoreline Texas Roadkill last night.

I need to buy some new seeds, my collection is not as big as I remember!
