using aptus for the first time in ocean forest soil...just using fasilitor @ 3ml per 5gallons and the startboost @5ml/5g+ PBP base @ 15ml per 5g + sea green @ 3ml/5g +caps bennies roots....and ive notived that onset of flower was very quick...after only 9 days since 12/12 the nugs are already budding quickly and have seemed to max out on stretch...growth seems very quick. been using it every feeding, bubbled and stirred up nicely.

also using jacks advice of higher temps 80-85 and higher humidity seems to speed up the growth even more...very impressed with what im seeing!

Be careful running that high of temps prop. If the ambient temps are 80-85 your canopy temps could easily be 85-90 which is kinda high. Jack runs those temps because when Your running co2 it's optimum and the plants can handle it easier.

Lemme know if you need more of that root pack I still nave a couple bags of it just chillin. I also have some of the nute pack which you can use to inoculate your soil with. Prob wont be using either so woukd hate to see em go to waste. For now Im just Sticking to a simple formula npkali gave me and using the caps foliar...

word, i have my temp gauge right in the canopy and currently its reading around 79-80 so im assuming its up to 85 in hot areas....also this is only for the first month of flower, once the colas form up gonna bring the temps back down. also talked to NPK about it and he was saying some of his best OG is grown in higher temps as well...more heat = more transpiration = more root developement and growth. once i can finally get an AC installed and run co2 im sure my room will be much more productive...this I/E shit is clearly hurting the bottom end, even though i managed to pull over 1lb of OG kush from each 4x4 600 watt area..

whats the formula youre using from NPK? you decided to not use the caps bennies, maybe i can use that on the outdoor garden.

dude, your rooms are fucking awesome!
Thanks BRO:tiphat:
Very healthy jack !!!!!:tiphat:
Thanks Bro lots of love and hard work as you know.:tiphat:
^ damn thats a lot of plants per light, must be a quick veg. my partner likes to run 20-25 plants per light in 4 inch rockwool cubes. when i was doing rockwool i preferred 10-15 in 6 inch cubes. now i do organic soil and just put how ever many fit haha cuz different sized pots from2 gal to 5 gal.



this was an awesome documentary cuz it just shows how heartless these retards can be. this guy was a good dude, endorsed by all the players in the city and their city hall. he did all the right steps and was in it for the right reasons.. i wouldnt have been as upset if it was just some cut throat rich business man investor trying to make a quick buck.. but it was a legit sick person trying to help other sick people in his community and making sure he took all the right steps so he wouldnt get in trouble. then cuz of one prick sherriff the govt came and raped him. they even made the landlord evict him. pieces of shit, i cant wait till we get it legalized.

well good shit jack, you always make those white fires pop so much.. and the #43 cut keeps drool around my face every time i check for it, and we thought the 3 was a greasy ass chunker. shiiiiit.

ive seen jack do under current, coco beds and organic soil and test out almost every nutrient line on the market and document them all on these forums for us. the man deserves an award. hes not some dude that fills up a warehouse trying to make a quick buck. hes a man that loves the plant like we do hes just made it to the top haha. super props.
Good shit bro yes the #43 is special working on a bunch of OG crosses for my personel seach hitting the TAHOE,GHOST and Legend and GS Cookies with the white, Got a bunch of crazy OG crosses im working on always in search for something better going to cross them all and see what comes out.. Just waiting on them to get a little bigger..JACK
i thought higher.
Its 20 - 30 PER 1 K

Higher temps in veg are always better humidity 60 -65% is key and temps 80 to 90 degreese

If and when you do CO2 you will double your final # if everything is on point..JACK

Do the root packs take care of fungus gnats? I'm getting the biggest fucking headache from these fuckers...used Merit...BT (Gnatrol)...mosquito dunks..and nematodes...all in one run and I joke you not they are getting higher in population and bigger?!? Fuck you Y4P and your dirty super bugs. Anyways after exhausting every idea that should work I'm figuring I have some super gnat on my hands. And no they aren't root aphids before someone makes that claim.

Anyways long story short, I'm wondering if the root pack will take care of these pests?

I have no questions at the moment just wanted to say that I ordered a 3 pack of the capulator teas -- and my order "fell through the cracks" somehow, lol -- but it was more than made up for within a cpl hours of emailing.

I dunno how things work with talking about so and so's business, so I don't want to advertise for the guy too much, but his customer service shows that he cares about taking care of people, at least in my experience.

edit-- jeez how rude. by the way, THANK YOU for this thread Jack. Real inspiring to see how much a small crew can do - with a great quarterback ;)

im using caps bennies (all 3 packs). ive noticed a few gnats here and there. so what i did was instead of 1-2 cups per 10 gallons i use 3-4 cups per 10 gallons for 2 waterings. after those 2 waterings i went back down to 1-2 cups per 10 gallons. it worked pretty well...although i still see an occasional gnat.

hope this helps UP:)

Caps bennies may not exactly eradicate fungus gnats, but I rarely see them anymore, seldom Ill see one or two flying around, but nothing like when I was running straight organics with lesser quality bennies, my .02.

do you grow in organic soil? i assume so cuz fungus gnats love organic soil, i used to have millions, i would hang the yellow sticky traps and they'd be covered in a day.. but someone recommended adding need seed meal to my soil mix and its helped a ton.. i still see gnats here and there but im not breeding em by the millions anymore like i once was.

down to earth makes the neem seed meal, doubt you can find it locally so prolly gotta order it. one of the best things ive added to my soil, keeps it healthy so i always recommend it.

i also add diatomaceous earth to the mix for silica purposes and it might help a little with the gnats but it really only works when the soils bone dry and its just hard to make it work like that.

ive been wanting to try the caps bennies as well but havent yet. soon tho.

@slauson Gardens, in the uk i think its called Neem cake(or poss 2 slighly diff things?)
can be used as a fert and anti fungas gnat product, mix it with your soil,they hate it.

COCO for the win !!!


Does that mean you're done with UC systems?
You like your coco tables better ?
YES Haven't had a UC flowering in a couple years I might fuck with it one day again but im getting 5 harvest a year at 2 plus a light in COCO could not come close in a UC, Plus we are re using the COCO over and over makes life alot easier then tearing down the buckets and cleaning..
Merry Christmas jack.
Merry Christmas BRO!!:woohoo:

Cant wait to have more time to go through wonderful threads such as this one. I have been growing in coco since my 2nd crop using canna coco with some atami (b'cuzz) Boosters but recently have been thinking about moving to something else for s trial run, this may be just what im after (and your have surely saved me a shit load of time looking around). Like most things i am very reluctant to follow blindly but when it is said by a grower i respect im quick to take note.
Thanks again, peace.

Hey jackmayoffer, I keep hearing about Aptus, and see some of the larger scalers have moved on to it, have you used them with a true hydo setup, Clay, rockwall, aero, etc etc, If yes how do you find them to Canna's Aqua line if possible to answer, if not, which nutrients, can you compare (and give me feedback ) to, in a pure hydro situation, thanks PS good stuff.
