Packn's "Big Kola Clubhouse"

[D Rock]

Beautiful photos and a great looking Buds!

Great start....what does fulvic acid do for your medium/nutrient strategy?

Fulvic Acid

Fulvic Acid

D Rock..Thanks man welcome to the club..

-VT-..Fulvic Acid..one of my favorites..the molecules of FA easily passes though the plant's cell walls..
It works as a chelating agent and carries in vitamins and minerals, some of which may not get absorbed otherwise..
gives the plant an increased metabolism..enhance and transport nutrients
It's interaction with minerals and plant go on and on..it catalyzes enzyme reaction..(I'll be adding enzymes soon)..
changes inorganic minerals into organically complex minerals..Increase resistance to pH fluctuations..free radical scavenger..
I could keep going..slows down vertical growth..good for foliar feed as well..
Microbes in Humic Acid create Fulvic Acid which is the most biologically complex organic compounds on earth..
It transmits immunity to all living things..humans included..1 FA molecule can carry 60+ minerals and trace elements into the cells..

Most of the info I've read is from agriculture trade mags...I love the stuff..I was using GH Diamond Nectar..
Lately I use AN Grandma Enggy's Golden Honey Fulvic Acid..there is a few other things it does..but not recalling right now..very stoned..

Thanks for the education

Thanks for the education

Thanks bro Never had it explained that way before...makes sense....
I read somewhere once that it was bad to mix fulvic and humic acids....but one of my products has both in it
Thanks for mentioning the enzymes.....and their role in this

Your approach is working cause you definitely grow some killer dank and I am sure this upcoming effort will be no less than spectactular

 

[packn2puff]

-VT-..Right on..glad to pass on the info..never heard about not mixing them..except maybe directly..Fulvic acid has a low pH..I use it to adjust my pH..
But one at a time into the water..haven't heard..most nute companies recommend both used..
Enzymes..the chewers I like to call um..after this watering..I'll start the enzymes next time..

All are doing well except the last one on life support..not getting the true leaves out..no big deal..I got too many for the light I have now..
If I get a high female count..I may be forced into adding a 600W for flowering..ah shucks..hehe..
Not much else to say..the coir keeps me busy with water duties..but it's damn near impossible to over-water..

BubbleDust: 3 GDS BD..5 Alfa plant BD
Growdate: most..14 days from germ..last 3 about a week behind..

Took some quick snaps of the current progress..these are the keepers for now..
The 3 GDS are rear..right to left..

GDS BD #2 Progress

GDS BD #2 Progress

Had better light today so I thought I would focus on GDS BD #2 to show progress..Here's a 5 day progress..

Since the buds from the last grow are cured..I'm trying to get harvest pics I never finished..
So I got out the ADCW..which was GDS Angel Dust x (C99xWilliams Wonder)..
Angel Dust Cindy Williams..
The buds arn't very dense..she leans toward sativa..cat piss like odor that gets piney when you pinch it..flavor takes getting use to..
The high is smooth and sativa heady..
Here's a quick pic..

Heya, packn! Man, those leaves are FAT! Those buds look nice, although I'm not too sure about the cat piss smell but hey, they get the job done, no?

 

[strain_searcher]

Photography and plants are top notch!

 

[Black Ra1n]

packn2puff, ADCW looks amazing man. Awesome cross, is it your creation? I've never heard of it before.

gonne enjoy the show me thinks..lets get it on packn
looking good buddy

Nute Time & AD Bud Shot

Nute Time & AD Bud Shot

twistedtree..High tt..yeah she's a medium height indica dom..her leaves should be fairly big ones later..
I hoped the CW was gonna lose a little of that aroma when I added AD..nope..didn't happen..stinky spicy, but a real nice high..

strain_searcher..Man I've seen a lot of IC back-in-the-day crowd stopping by..good to have ya stoppin in ss..

Black Rain..Thanks B/R On paper she looks good..the AD helped but she still is kinda strange..
Some background...The C99xWW part was a chance crossing..a friend had both C99 & WW from Brothers Grimm these were offspring seeds..
fairly unstable..grew super stretchy and wispy..so I add AD via a male to the best CW female I had..AD is a fairly squat plant with a similar high..
I think if I hit her again with AD..might be real good..

Core..Thanks man..The girls are healthy and starting to take off..big buds around the corner..

The little ones are growing real nice now..I just started them on their first veg meal today..consists of 13 parts or products..
All Adv. Nutes..:
Micro, Grow, Bloom, Mother Earth Tea(Grow), Humic Acid, Fulvic Acid, B-52, Barricade, Scorpion, Sensizym, Piranha, Tarantula, & Voodoo Juice..
PPM: 800, EC: 1.14, pH 6.3..

I grew AD & ADCW in the last grow..project "Twin Towers" ..all the plants were topped at the first true branches..then let go from there..
Here's a shot of some Angel Dust buds from that grow..

But one at a time into the water..haven't heard..most nute companies recommend both used..

It was a post from a member in the organic hydro forum....
saying the two should not be used together (expicitly saying that the two should not be present together in the medium of choice).....edited to add for clarity the member was claiming that Liquid Karma should not be used with another product that had fulvic acid (LK has humic acid....I'm HIGH...and may have it backwards lol) that member has never documented a grow, or posted any pics that even remotely resemble marijuana :smile: So I'll go with your take on things
This show is rocking with some high resolution, well lit, dank goodness.....I love early veg shots.....keep 'em comin'....I'm enjoying the show

 

[packn2puff]

-VT- ..I don't know..LK contains both Humic & Fulvic Acid..maybe that's what they were getting at..
you might be double dosing adding another product that contains it also..however unless pH be damned..it is very difficult to OD Fulvic Acid ..
That is..too much and your pH won't be reasonable..
I used LK with GH Diamond Nectar..only side effect might have been huge buds..hehe
Humic Acid is the active molecule in humus..it's what puts the "dark rich" in "dark rich soil"..
Humic Acid alters the chemical structure of ions and nutrients..converts them into more usable form for distribution across the plant's cell membranes..
Fulvic Acid produced from Humic Acid..does the carrying into the cells..
So in my book they go hand in hand..Your beneficial micros get fed and love living with humic acid too..

 

[151kushmaster]

Awesome photos! Your crop looks excellent!

 

[packn2puff]

151kushmaster..Right on..thanks for the comments and welcome to IC as well..

Real quick, before Weeds comes on..the plants are really responding to the feeding..they are on the move..and looking super healthy..

The 3 I started late directly in the rooters..are getting the same feeds..and almost caught up..
The 3 GDS originals are looking real good..GDS BD #1 by growth characteristics I will predict will be male..
So I've predicted Alfa BD#1 & GDS BD#1 will both be male..hope I'm wrong..cause if it is female she's gonna be huge

Update Time

Update Time

Grow Strain(s): BubbleDust: 3 GDS BD..5 Alfa plant BD..
Growdate: most..19 days from germ..last 3 Alfa BD (12 days)..
Stage: Veg .. Status: Healthy

Just a quick update..I moved them over to the 400W MH Hortilux..it's a better lamp..
want to try and keep um tight node as possible and the MH helps a little with that..I use HPS in late veg/flower..
Might have to add a 600W HPS if I get a lot of females..plants are healthy and still in cups..
Hopefully I'll get them into 1 gal pots..by the weekend..at least the big ones..

Took a quick pic..wind gusts kept screwing me but got a decent dusk (good light) shot of the group..
The GDS BD are in the back Left-to-Right> #1, #2, #3..Alfa BD #1 is the biggest overall (left middle)..

You must spread some Reputation around before giving it to packn2puff again.

I tried. Plants look great!

 

[NorthernKronic]

Lookin good packn,

those ladies should explode once they get into the 1 gals, should be fun to watch. Keep up the good work buddy. Peace
