my outdoor grow in india (12 latitude)

the name general hydroponics is fairly putting off considering i'm growing in soil

I see what you mean, but thats just their brand. theyve got plenty of nutrients for soil. the Maxi series is for Soil, soilless, hydroponic and coco.im using it in soil by the way

haha i'm jus fuckin around it's probably good, but i want to try AN because i got a guy who can ship AN here cheap

Go for it, its faaaar better than no nutrients

i don't have NO nutrients right now...just an inaccurate collection of several organic additives with a potentially random nutrient profile.

haha, whatever works man looks like it did so its all good

we bring you this short status update on the stinky ladies

blue widow's about 2-2.5 weeks into flowering
the walkabout seeds, i think i got 2 phenos in the
3 plants i got, but they're about 3-4 weeks in...
mandalas' safari mix, they're looking frosty as
fuck, smelling otherwordly...pistils are browning
but they only started flowering around mid-august
so i'm gonna let them go till end of oct/mid of nov
or decide as i see fit...
my indian plants are slowly but steadily stacking
on the buds, the potted one more so than the
other one...i have a couple more potted indian sativas
as well which have just shown their pistils...
but wow that landrace is swelling outwards...i'm gonna
have a shitton...

got one extrema x heribei and one afghan skunk haze
(right and left respectively in the group shot) going on
indoors. more ash outdoors, in different size pots so i
can see the difference with everything else constant...

my guess is as good as yours mate, my indoor growing experience is very very limited...but frankly i don't see the purpose of getting a cfl with 100+ wattage if you can get 4 that are 23w apart from the setup time...frankly i've found that my biggest difficulty here is finding things that people use abroad, i.e. carbon filters, duct tape, blood meal, the list fucking goes on. while you may have certainly stumbled upon something, i'm not too sure, but i'm pretty sure 100w+ cfls can be imitated with more of the smaller bulbs of the same wattage...correct me if i'm wrong...also you can use smaller bulbs' positioning to ensure the entire plant gets light...

frankly imo we have one thing which blows any cfl, hps, or mh of any wattage away - the sun...

and the overpriced root beer and dr.pepper...fuck i miss paying $4 for a box of cinnamon toast crunch, here it's $10 if you stumble upon it once in a while...dr.pepper and root beer are easy to find,
at the sale price of $1.5/can, not bottle - CAN. and i miss the days when large pizzas from pizza hut were bigger than fucking 8"

so i wanted to know...would this be a good combo?

iguana juice grow
iguana juice bloom
tarantula
piranha
carboload
sensizym

i only have a choice of upto 6 different products by AN and most of them will be in shipping transit for 7-10 days, so something like mother earth would
*probably* get spoilt. i don't know for sure at all though. i dont even know if that'll happen with iguana juice as well

i think thats just overkill. the most i would ever use is 4 nutrients, i would cut out the piranha & the carboload.

i have heard that piranha tarantula and carboload used together work brilliantly...roots expand, microbial populations increase, carboload supplies necessary food...naturally if i'm doing that i will require something to break down the excessive root mass...and also i wanted to know if their sensi 2 part/conoisseur 2 part grow and bloom thing is organic?? or advisable for soil??

I'm not sure i don't know much about AN. your choice. one day you will see the light young grasshopper!

i'm really trying to get my hand on organic supplements, and i'm getting there but not in time for this grow...should have it all organized by jan in time for a final grow before i may have to leave the country...till then it's gotta be organic nutes, i refuse to go chem haha...unless i go hydro, which brings me to my next question...what are the best nutes out there (bang for buck) for hydro, and why is it that people don't do hydro outdoors, sorry, i have almost no info on hydro, but i'm starting to read up...

i dont know a thing about hydro sir, thats good that you want to use organic nutes though. i think hydroponics is just a money pit and a pain in the ass but ive never done it, so im not gonna knock it too much

except in india where a hydro setup would be pretty cheap....hydro + sunlight might be the way for me to grow moderately large indicas from 12/12 outdoors...will be trying very shortly

i like the thinking, outdoor hydro sounds innovative
never heard of it, but why not? increased evaporation might be a issue, but adding some more water seems pretty easy

adding water is something i have to do with soil once the monsoon season really comes to an end...and i'm doing it for larger plants.
hydro + sunlight seems like a good recipe for that. if i can't make the sunlight hours more suited for vegetative growth, then i'll make
the plants growth method as efficient as possible

I just searched on google for 'outdoor hydroponics' and a hell lot of positive results showed up! So, it really is done
Just that most of the google results were veggies.

it is but not often at all...
