Root crowning is when you spray the bud candy or anything else on the top of the rocks and let it drip down into the roots in the net pot. Im doing that to keep the bud candy from messing up my ph.

There is a lot of green in those leaves, but they are starting to yellow. Is there any new white hair growth? Really sucks they got stunted.

HS no new hairs yet. Im hoping I get some poppin out in the next few days. Im going to wait until almost all leaves are at least yellow & mostly purple.

Stussy them are the same hoods I just added the other xxxl hood on the mover for the 6xl.

Hey bg....

Wtf man....I am at1500ppm by week six and adding kool bloom liquid 0-10-10 and kool bloom powder 0-48-28 or some nasty shit like that and no burns or problems like that. What was it that made ur nugs hault? What's the ratios? Id cut out anything preventing size dude...that's the opposite of what we want ya know?

I know what Im not suppose to do and it was a brain fart. It aint happening again for sure. Hydr1 are you running a under current? I dont need those high levels of nutes with all the DO I have in them buckets. The main problem was DM says to not use any boosters with there nutes. Well alot of people run pure flowers as a booster with the dm gold with great success I was just trying to really push em and it back fired.
I have another 8 xl running lvpk with base nutes only and I havent even topped 750 ppm yet. We shall see if that was the problem

Nah... PK just grows tiny.. Your plants were super healthy the whole way.i doubt this was the problem.
But I do run a bloom enhancer along side lucas... so???maybe?

Maybe PK would grow better tree style?? I saw a plant on urban grower recently that was a tree PK.. Buds looked ok but again, lacking in size especially when compared to bubba kush right beside it in the clip..

When i grew it I was less then impressed with how the bud structure grew..the plants were grown identical as my previous strain and had maybe 1/4 of the fill out i am used to.. The buds just did not keep growing after initial growth happened. They got more killer with THC but not any bigger... I grew them and trained them the same as i always grow , but they sure didn't respond. The one thing i did notice is they finished up really fast.. faster then my NL. The NL is perty dang quick to.

I think you will do the same as i did and ditch the PK eventually, its just not an efficient plant to grow..... it is killer! and a very unique smoke.That's for damn sure.

I guess the flip side to that argument is.So are alot of other niller'nes strains. Doesn't mean anything but that.. it is what it is.

Came out nice regardless!

Hi BigGreen,
How are you doing?
I have been following this thread and the one before since the beginning. Gotta tell you have been doing a great job! I have decided to use the Dyna Rok II after your review and it is awesome!!!
In your last run, at the 1st week of flowering you had your PPM at 1000, now is only at 950 in the 5th week, why did you decide to decrease?
I know you're using Dutch Master Gold Grow A & B, what else?
My plants are under 2 FT 4 bulbs T5 right now and I was wondering how far do you keep your fixture from the plants and if 4 bulbs is enough. I have been thinking about sell it and get a 6 bulbs one.
I’m just wondering because I took notes of everything you did and I’m planning to follow your steps :)
Congratulations!

DG the UC holds around 90 gallons.
I have some PKs growing at a friends in the same system as me 2k and everything. I have him running base nutes at low ppms. We havent even topped 750 ppm yet. So far were 30 days 12/12 and his buds are 2-3 times bigger than mine and they look like I might even get some connecting of the buds to make some 10" colas. Either way bro hook it up. Im down to trying new mixes. Keep in mind Im running highly oxigenated water in my UC.
Thanks bro

Jungleboy My last run the roots were bigger be for I switched 12/12 thats why they were eating so much nutes. This run I have been watching the girls closer and they really dont need the nutes that high. DM Gold and I was using pureflowers as a booster if your gonna use the booster be real careful and dont EVER go over 1 ml per gal.

Stussy them 8" netpots buddy. I would actually like to run 10" if I could.

Decent roots I guess. I had issues all the way with these ladies but there all patched up now. It doesnt work very well running a UC with out a chiller I can tell you that. If anybody was wondering thats not me its the helper he gives birth in a couple weeks.
