Week 5 flower Aptus room. This room had a 1 week veg they are getting so fat and hard as a rock The more time I spend in the rooms the more I like the Aptus program...White Fire #37, White Fire #3, Mc Fly.. these pics where taken with a cheap $60.00 Digital camera...The leaves are so shiney and greasy..And the # 37 smells like lemons and fuel.. Love this girl...

Just popped some wifi's and was considering using fasilitor to help control the stretch. Have you noticed a difference in stretch using aptus vs not?
Thanks for your insight.

Now for the 40 lighter just starting week 2 flower this room had a 14 day veg Heavy 16 plus Caps bennies/Tea plus APTUS boosters...This room is going to put on one hell of a show all my favorite strains in here...

 

[loyalty7]

Your week 5 pics are ridiculous, Hats off continue the good work...Hope my aptus looks like that

 

[astartes]

Jack, your 40 light room is on day 8 of 12/12?!?! Have never seen anything like that!

a.

 

[cyat]

Holy shit Jack, do your girls even go through a transition phase? Those things must pop buds out 1 or 2 days into flowering. Insane! I like it!

How many days of 12/12?

8 or 15?

 

[jackmayoffer]

Had to go back and look today is day 12..

 

[l337purpl3]

Jack, I was wondering if you had 12 plants to grow only. what would be your preferred method? How would you do it?

Hummm Thats a hard one I would probably do a chow mix or top feed and go with Adjusto wings and vertical lighting..

 

[SkizOflan]

Jack, could you post a link to the sprinkler heads that you use? I'm not seeing them at my local shop.

How is your waste drained, and how do you prevent clogging and/or getting dirty gunk accumulation at the exit drain? Maybe pics would speak better than words.

Thanks!

Does that strain always chunk early like that or would you attribute the early flowers to Aptus?

 

[abellguy]

The plant has a process that it goes through when you trigger it to 12/12. To be looking like your 12 day pics it would literally have to have pistols on the plant like day 3 of 12/12 and that is impossible. The earliest I have seen pistols with strains I have run is 8 days or so, counting 12/12 from trigger. So only one of two things have to be true one you do not start counting 12/12 at day one so your two week claim is worthless or two your just getting free nutrient for running a thread on the merits of Aptus. Do you start counting 12/12 at the time you trigger or the time you see first pistols? Nice rooms though for sure

ETA: FatPaw FTW

I am more impressed with how short your veg times are.

That to be is unbelievable.

 

[SkizOflan]

I have to chime in with the others on the massively short flower set time. Could you possibly take a pic every day from the flip for 2 weeks and post them to show the daily growth? I too have never seen pistols before 1 week, much less full flower sets by day 12. I'm not denying the reality of your garden, but I think all of us kinda have to see it to believe it.

Try picking one top and follow it for 2 weeks to show us in 'slow-mo' it actually happening.. Until then I simply cannot wrap my head around what I'm seeing. Sorry, and no offense bro its just too much to take in.. Makes me feel like I've been doing it all wrong for years!

Also, are you giving them 36hrs at the flip or only 12?

Maybe pics have already been shown of the drain set up and the sprinkler heads. Just beacuse your hydro shop dosent have them dosent mean they dont exist.. Google Pepce Octa Bubblers. All the drains are 1-1/4 gravity feed to a small rez with a pump and a float.. I will take a few moe detail shots...

Wondering this also. Again, I am flabbergasted every time I read this thread. If you are doing anything else to help with the flip like this example I am VERY interested. Bud onset is just INSANE in these pics!

I will do so next round all rooms are in flower I am working on a time lapse video for all the rooms.I have talked about this before when it comes to veg time there are a few tricks that we do to make the plants explode with growth that just blow me away everytime.. If the co2 is put at 1500 ppms temps are raised no fans on and we wet down the floors the plants will concentrate on root growth, The roots will explode but the plants will stall a few days later same temps wet floors we turn down co2 levels 1000 ppm the plants will double and tripple in size in just a few days..When you have 100 plus lights in flower all the time and work 14 hrs a day 7 days a week you start to figuer out things and start dialing in the rooms you have moments where nothing happens but every once in a great while I go oh shit what just happened ..Everything we do is written down every room has a white bord with a calender we try things and go back to see what worked and what did not.I can honestly say are rooms are fucking dialed I never see diesease. There is never mold we are always preventing not fighting.We do not spend the day medicated until after work this is hard work..I am humbel and I always share what I have learned I feel it will come back if I ever need help.. Some of the best growers in nor cal that have been growing for 20 to 30 years have spent some time with me in my rooms and have gone back home and called me a couple days later and have completly tore down there rooms and started over.. Im not the best grower but I think I have figured out a few things to put us a step above some of the others.. We work hard and are always trying new things.Its a big science experiment that all of us have been told what is rite but that dosent mean it is, If I had a nickel for everytime an engineer has told me I have never seen that before that is impossible I would have $2.75 thats alot of nickels...
