nice pix Crop, what camera you use?

Thanks and a Nikon d3500 with a 50mm lens

I honestly prefer the "flavored air" type of taste you get from coco when it's properly flushed and not over fed, and you'll also notice the stems inside the dried buds are almost non existent in comparison to soil. ton's of things to love about coco. I've never felt the need to use anything else since switching to coco in 08. looks dank crop!

I'm very curious to see the difference between coco and soil buds. I don't know why it took me this long to give try it and thank you!

Resin Rails ...never knew there was a name for it...but i like it!

Think I might have some resin rails in the near future so stay tuned!

Imo improved flavor.

Just saying.

Nice pics

Thanks man!

Talking with a buddy about ppms today and was wondering what you guys max out at in flower?

Not at all like glue lol. That's funny

Pretty sure it's a cookies and og cross.

I'm digging it. Smells like og... I'm all in. Wish I had that one.

Crop is that "locally sourced" I've not seen much of it

Oh my bad I just saw that ppm question.

Without getting all crazy into details.... with all those strain dependent variables.

I usually hit a max of 12-1300. That during peak feeding week 4-5. I taper up to that and back down after that.
I do not give that full strength mix every single day those weeks. I mix my res at the beginning of the week to Full strength. I use that for 2-3 days, then I top off the res until I'm at 1100-1000ppm I don't sweat it just bring it down and use that until it's gone. It usually last me til the 6th day of the week and I'm about empty. I refill the res and it's really low ppm from whatever mix may have been left, or zero if I clean the Rez that week. That refill is my "flush" day. After watering 1x with that weak mix I top off res and mix the next weeks solution.
I start my flower off around 900ppm and taper up to my max and taper back down to around 900ppm by week 7. If I'm going ten plus weeks I make tweaks here and there... ya know strain dependant type stuff.
That method of attack has always worked for me. Taper up and taper down. And I allow ph swing in the res. Mix low 5.6 let it rise all week. Might get to 6.0 on a huge swinging week. That depends a lot on what u put in the mix
You will notice that h&g is very stable in the res. Holds ph well and stays suspended for long periods.
A few products I don't add to the res because they get slimey and filmy so I occasionally mix separately and hand water that to keep my res clean and clear.
I didn't always do that but I find it better for me.

Blah blah. That's my attack plan.
Hope I answered your question and explained myself correctly.

What did you come up with? Always good to hear others ideas. Im sure there's some curious folks following this

Not glue and yes to the cooks x og. Did you try some? I'm very curious to see how it compares to the dosidos.

I want to say I started out at 800-900 at week 1 of flower and now on week 6 I haven't gone above 1100.

Another question I have for you guys is how do you deal with run off in saucers? I was going to shop use a shop vac but I've read that its a big no no due to mold spores. So I've been using a suction gun from auto zone that's used for sucking up oils and coolants, but got tired of that quickly... I was thinking about making my own table using pond liner and plywood and having a gutter like system that collects runoff into a bucket to be used on outside plants. That or using corrugate plastic. I want to keep it under a foot so I don't loose to much head room. Thoughts or ideas?
