Frank, what are your thoughts on mammoth p and it's price vs benefits. I tried a sample bottle, but honestly that was a while ago and I was still early in my learning (still am). I was thinking about trying it again, now that I have my system a little more dialed in. But I'm not organic right now.
I hear folks saying that it does work in coco even with synthetic nutrients, I just don't know if it's worth it.
Especially with flower prices dropping out all around me
Karma Genetics - Bandaid Haze#7 x A5(r) - isolated pheno - "Topsail Haze" - ie - "Apricot Piff"
This room is 5 x 5 - 12 plants - will go into 8 gallons for flower - water only organic, still rocking the mix - flowering under Mars Hydro Led FC-E6500. There will be a companion thread to go along with this particular light in it's first usage.
I currently use 2x Vortex Power Fan VTX600 - and have been doing so for the last 12-15 years. They've been with me a long time. Flawless fans. Just sound like jet engines. I've discussed noise and air flow and fan motor noise, etc - MANY - times. It's one of the primary reasons I build room-inside-a-room style gardens - for the wall thickness, for insulation, to help mute noise.
The Mars Hydro 6" Inline Duct Fan - with Thermostat control - seems to be an upgrade from the current situation. Mars has offered to let me try 2 of these in my current rooms to replace the Vortex. THAT is a tall order they are attempting to best. I love those Vortex fans. They WORK. I never have to worry about them being a weak link in the garden. They work - and that is priceless.
But - Mars Hydro has convinced me to try LED - and now I have 4 of their lights. 1 - EpiStar 160. 2 - SP3000 Limited 5 spectrum Edition. 1. FC-E6500. I really can't complain at all. They have been pretty excellent to me as a small scale grower just posting some threads.
I'm hesitant once again to try something new - but I'm starting to build a trust factor with Mars Hydro at this point. Why not try the fans?!!!
So, the rooms will eventually be cooled and filtered with new fancy high tech fans - dope! In the mean time...
"Topsail Haze"
Just wait until she starts to bloom. This girl is SPECIAL.
It really is good to be back posting. I have sincerely, honestly - missed all of you. I miss the grower talk and the nerding out on plants. I miss sharing my insights and projections and conjectures...
I've miss you all, ICmag. Truly. Thank you for the warm reception back. It means more than you know, actually. Those that meet me in person learn very quickly I have my heart on my sleeve for this place and the friends I have made here. I'm excited to continue sharing my journey with you all.
2022 - is going to be an amazing year. Just wait!! Genetic Freaked and I have so much planned - everyone wins this year. Trust.

BobChronic6505 - That would depend entirely upon the pheno. Lot of variation - but a lot of solid plants. I saw a lot of Chem 3 in the more squat Afghani type plants and a lot of Chem 4 type plants in cola type and yield. Terps varied but all had notes of pure chem. The line itself though, as a whole, I'd not think of as a pure chem representation. It's more of a Chem heavy / OG type cross.
When MOneYMiKe smelled my pheno, he said, huh, you kept one towards the sour side. I'd not say he is wrong. She does pull out some sour/chemmy notes when she's at her best.
The more common phenos were most representative of a stardawg type plant, all in all though.
I personally want to test that very theory by sorting some Top Dawg I95 x Stardawg.

My cannavixen -DOES- greatly influence what I decide to grow. I enjoy sharing the plant with her on all facets and growing genetics she *thinks* she wants to smoke really encourages her interest in the garden as a whole. I enjoy her enjoyment of things and seeing her all into "it" - I'm not gonna lie - is quite...attractive.
