Fucking killing it man! Such a fucking thread, fuckfuckfuck!
Read through it last night, information overload, thanks!

The truth is that the average guy will get better yields from this thread than aptus!
Thanks Jack, your the shit! (in the voice from Dr Greentumb - Cypress Hill)

I do have a question and forgive me if it has been covered, tried my best to assimilate everything but sure I missed some stuff. The chow mix (60 coco 40 hydroton) ? do you mix the two mediums or throw the coco on top of the hydroton?

Anybody in the know can answer this for me, I am use to organic soil mixes and dont know much about other mediums

high, I can answer this one for ya, It comes in bags already mixed made by Gold Label, of course you can just mix the clay pebbles with coco at what ever rate you want, 40/60 seems to work good.

yea the room is a work of art for sure...

jack are those rooms custom built inside a bigger warehouse? got any pics of just the room before all the trays and plants were put in...
Yes we build rooms inside large warehouses I will look for pics I have them some where..Jack

Yeah got to try a tastey assortment of bowls. GSC, purple joy, cactus cooler, 43 and 80.

80 was so good smell, taste and so on.

43 being a hard as a hand grenade is no joke as I have thrown a few when I was in core years ago.
6 weeksish thats crazy, shit felt like a dab......


Keep on Yo
Thanks Bro Glad you liked them... JACK
jack do u feed 100 gallons per 10 4x8 beds twice a day or do u run 100 gallons in two 50 gal. feeds a day per 10 4x8s. sik pix btw
100 Gallon rez feed 1 time a day at 1 min or twice at 30 seconds per watering..
I was told by a irrigation supplier that PVC would be a bad choice in a grow room and the heat and temperature will cause it to leach carcinogens and other chemicals into the feed water. Was also told the PVC cement was even worse for this. They say poly pipe is a much better choice, I cant stand working with poly piping though.

Do you have any concern or comments regarding PVC for potable water in the grow room? Your plants obviously don't seem to mind it. Thanks
This is not true they are full of shit I have the same pvc line for 5 years at 1 place and it has had every nutrien put through it with bleach cleanings every 3 months.. I have thousands of feet of PVC with zero issues I also use PVC for trellis frames.. JACK
Took me a few days to read this behemoth and I can honestly say I learned quite a bit. Thanks Jack for all that you do.:thank you:

Come back to the Farm....we miss you over there.:tumbleweed:
Glad you enjoyed it Bro... JACK

Botanicare Has a product called Cocorox. Its basically coco premixed with Silica Stone (the silica is buffered with PBP). Funny thing, i think they are transitioning their ratio, because some bags i am getting look to be about a 50/50 mix and the silica is small gravel sized pieces, and some of it looks to be more 25% silica with much larger chunks of it..

If the 50/50 mix is what they have settled on, it may be a nice product for those doing chow.
 
dutchman coco

dutchman coco

hey jack the only coco i have found that is par w gold label is dutchman coco made in cali by sanctuary soils. they have pure coco and then they have a chow type mix called big city hydro. it is the nicest coco i have seen besides gold label. it comes in 56 liter bags or in bulk bags. they are the only coco manf. in america. they import the coco husks and process it in cali.

Did a test to see what the difference was with double dosing the Fasilitor week 1 and 2 and no Fasilitor week 1 and 2 . Im going to stop listening to all the nay sayers who say Aptus dosen't do anything. This is the same strain same base nutes same medium same room only difference one got double dose Fasilitor one did not. 1st image Fasilitor double dose 2nd image no Fasilitor both strains are at week 3, Fasilitor was given 3 times a week twice with just base and cal mag once with just aptus during week 1 and 2 of flower..
