Bobby, those plants look amazing. I've been meaning to give bloombastic a shot, thanks for the motivation. I'm going to give AN a shot to see what all the hype is about. I'm not going to go crazy and buy the entire line though, keeping it simple.

 

[Bobby Stainless]

Thanks Hoss

I would do the BB, before I tried the AN stuff.

Hey all, just popping in to see how everyone is and let you all take a peak at my most recent harvest.I had 14 plants under a 400 watt light, and got just over 6 ozs of california skunk. This was my first grow in 5 years or so. I used Fox Farm nutes and flushed the plants 2-3 weeks at the end of flowering, they were planted in sunshine mix soil and were in 1 gal. pots.

I am pretty satisfied with the results and have upgraded to a new cabinet with a Super Sun2 600 watt, along with a 400 cfm fan. The new area can house about 30 plants but alas my cloning skills are not super yet and only got about 25 plants. I will be running the same strain one more time, only because I decided wich of the phenos I liked best the last run.

I am also germinating a blue cheese fem seed from barneys that I will be making my mother for the next batch.

Here are a few shots of some dried bud.

I got plenty more and dont mind those that are not yet trimmed up properly yet, I like to let them dry whole for a couple days and then trim what I can get at, then cure then go back and do the final trim. And of course make some awesome canna butter, and enjoy my scissor hash along the way.

I would add some cal mag once in a while with that low of ppm for your source water. But if it doesn't look like you have a deficiency don't worry too much about it.

I am looking at replacing my ph+ with liquid silicon. It is a nutrient that is missing in most hydro systems because it is a base and alters the ph. Soil usually has silicon in it.

Yep, I've been using silica for a few years now, and it does work quite well as a PH+. I figure, if I'm going to have to add something to bring the PH up, might as well be something that will help the plant. I've noticed thicker and more sturdier stems on plants with silica vs. plants without, resulting in the plant being able to hold larger buds. It all works out in the end.

 

[homebrew420]

I agree BudGood.

Kelly, no bud your right about the CMH, they are only up to 400w. I was asking about the lamp you chose to run? And hopw all works out with your endeavors.

First shot is Matanuska Tundra @ 5 weeks

Second shot is Durban Poison @ 6 weeks

Smells are very similar, growth is not. THe MT is tall and the DP is a squat branching beast. Both smell very floral, like lilly of the valley. Cant wait to try them.

 

[Eternaldust7]

Wow.. Seems like its been forever since I've made a post in this thread or checked the updates!

Put the NYCDx (c99xWW) under 12/12 about 3 weeks ago now and she is exploding in growth. Tons of trichs streaming off of her.

Chopped my blueberry and she is just a divine smelling after using the 2 day dry 4 day jar cure (on and off with the lid every several hours initially then a touch the the finish). She smells and tastes amazing.

Put my NYCDxBlueberry autos in the ground. 3 beans, 3 sprouts. Win. Light fell and decapitated 1. But 2 of 2 female that lived long enough to sex. Which is great odds. Of the 10 beans I purchased. 6 of 10 were female. 1 was male. 2 didn't sprout. 1 met a light up close and personal. :-(

Has anyone used the H&G Drip Clean or GH Florakleen? It is supposed to prevent nutrient lockout as well as keep drippers from caking up.

In the past whenever I had a Mg deficiency I just added epsom salts and everything was better, but as I read more about coco and adding cal mag it seems maybe to be more of a lockout problem than a deficiency?

 

[HossCartwright]

Yes Drip Clean is very good stuff. Used it when I was running aeroflo systems and it really helped keep the spray lines clear. Very strong, only need a little.

Silica also helps protect plants from powdery mildew, which apparently is a nasty problem in Colorado.

Hi y'all. A lurker here, just getting ready to start my first personal MMJ grow (very small - 2 plants in a rubbermaid setup, soil and scrog with CFLs, just trying to learn). I love all the growing info here, and this thread is a great help for taking info from others and adapting it to Co grows - e.g, I was really worrying about humidity requirements.

I'm eager, and concerned, about the Feb event at Quixote's. Eager to get to meet some other folks in the scene here, concerned about safety - there's a lot of droogs running near that area (I lived there for three years, frequently go down to catch some tunes) for whom this sort of event would be a huge draw, lots of stoned folks with money and pot, easy pickin's.

Just my paranoia showing thru? Or my PTSD surfacing again? Anyone else concerned?

 

[HossCartwright]

Just my paranoia showing thru?

yes
