Testing Beneficial Bacteria in Ebb and Flow (AK47 with Great White)

Icannabis · Mar 4, 2011

I didn't mean any disrespect...I love camera's I have a few...I don't go through all the trouble HB does but if his weed is as good as his camera skills then watch out...are you working in RAW HB? The Sony Alpha series is a good place to start...I like prism camera's...and NIKON glass is nice if you can afford it.

Not for these pics. I use it from time to time but 90% of my pics are jpeg.

...and NIKON glass is nice if you can afford it.

I have two pro lenses and while they are quite expensive, they are simple stunning. Nikon's color, sharpness and contrast makes me glad I spent an arm and a leg :oops:

Yeah a friend of mine just bought a Sony a900 it's a beast he's got a lot of those lenses $$$...I use a Fujifilm S200EXR for most of the around the house camera work it's only 12 megapixel...I'd hate to scale anything over that down...I use a multi-step down plug-in for adobe to keep the res. better...but on here I use a little canon point and shoot 10 megapixel...anyway I'm ranting about nothing of importance anyway plants look amazing can't wait to see the yield.

HB, after doing all of these comparisons, and logging results, you must have some things that really stand out as awesome products.
If you were growing nugs to enter into the "cup", what would your plan be? Dynagrow? GH? hydro or dirt? What has given your best results to date?

Great question! If I was trying to put my best foot forward in regards to potency, flavor and yield, I'd use DynaGro in hydro with two GH additives; Floralicious plus and flora Blend. I'm sure there are comparable additives but these are the two 'organic-ish' additives that I feel help with ascetics (not needed but aid in resin production, aroma, etc).

I'm of the attitude that the camera bodies are important, but glass trumps the bodies. I feel that these dSLRs are all capable of producing great pictures, it's just a matter of using the tool correctly. Now except in certain specialized situations like low light sports photography where quality high ISO is needed, these cameras will give you the picture that you want, regardless of brand.

I think you mistook what he was implying... As in JUST A NIKON DSLR!!! in other words...a badass camera and he said just!!!! At least that's how I perceived it

Namaste'

Got it. I guess i didnt get the right Em-Pha-sis on his SYL-Lable stucture. no harm intended. Bold and Itallic work also when thyping.

Great lookin AK HB! I have some finishing up in the next couple too and they arent as chunky as yours(not that I would expect them to be!) Thanks a bunch!

great thread and grow HB about how many days in flower for dirt compered to your hydro grow ?

homebrewer · Mar 13, 2011

I have some yield numbers finally as the product was hung, dried, and sweat several times. The final weight as seen in the pic below (bags not included obviously) is 598.5 grams.

I hang the product until it's dry to the touch. I then clip and bag all the buds for a period of about 48 hours or until the buds have become moist again. I lay the product out for 12-24 hours or until the product is dry to the touch and repeat. This process is complete when the product has been sitting in bags for days and will not sweat any more. Snapping stems is also a good indicator of moisture content.

A final review of Great White along with some pics of the product will be posted this week pending a smoke report from one of my testers. Cheers!

I use a touch of superthrive and DG bloom formula when I'm taking cuttings and I can't remember the last time a clone didn't root.

Hey HB, what's your cloning method? I still get hit and miss results with various mediums, oasis, rapidrooter, aero/ezclone. Any tips that you feel made a big difference? Thanks.

I clone with clonex and rapid rooters, then place into a humidity dome with a heated mat and 1/4 inch of water sitting in it (the water is usually a light mix of superthrive and bloom formula). The rapid rooters are sitting in these 6-pack seedling trays and are able to wick up the water in order to maintain a good water-to-air ratio. 10-14 day later I have great roots. When you take your cutting from your plant, just make sure you can place at least one node below the surface of the rooting medium and I also like to score the sides of my cutting. There are lots of methods out there but this works for me.

I might add that if you can afford to take a bigger cut, do so!! Don't short yourself and the clone by taking small cuts! This was something that seems obvious but I struggled with it and found that larger/beefier cuts are more resilient. Mother health is also paramount to the health of the clunes(another obvious one but...)

With any luck, my review should be posted tomorrow as I'm still waiting for my tester to swing by and grab his sample. He's supposed to stop over tonight so in the meantime, here are some shots of the final product. My apologies for the delay fellas.

Excellent looking AK!!! I think Ak-47 has gotten kind of a bad rap over the years but I've found it is the better than average in a lot of the categories. This helps prove it!! Great grow and thanks for the knowledge, HB!

I find that odd as everyone I read who has grown it loves it..........
