Shiva Grows

[shiva82]

Go for it Rob you won’t be disappointed , as I said before I would go with the regulars they should be more stable . The fems I grew were like night and dry other than the high . They had a different form ,color tast smell and one was two weeks earler outside ,but evan so I’m happy . Here’s a pic of the two phenos last season outside View attachment 19126624

@RobFromTX perlite, pumice or hort sand is what you want for drainage mate

i know a grower that uses 50-50 mix of all mix and coco for sativas and have good results. i'm not sure what nutes they use ,if at all , or if the use niobizz or if they use low dose coco nutes to counter any cal mag issues. i would use low dose coco nutes if i was using 50-50 mix but that is just my opinion

yeah im hearing good things about the 50/50 mix.
a grower on here ran that with the honduras from ace and it turned out great

 

[strain_hunter]

Was looking if there are other strains with vanilla and chocolate notes and nirvanas ai recommended strains, that are sold by other breeders.
If the owner knew that

That will be for a smaller container with a larger plant in it I’m picking.
If doing low numbers per m2 the extra drainage from pumice or perlite in winter is better imo.
The questionS would be is PS a big wild sativa that needs to be controlled via root restriction with smaller pots?
Are you going to run 8> plants per m2?
If yes to either of these go coco.

Just my opinion

 

[shiva82]

with the coco i just go straight coco , i would not add anything else as it just steals root space , and the coco is aerated well enough , and is near inert

why 8 plants and not 9 ? is it a rectangle m2 area?

 

[RobFromTX]

Bubba Kush is one of very few indicas i really enjoy. perfect rainy day buzz

Straight coco and salts smaller pots size good combo. Coco holds a lot of water fme

You don’t make circles man? hehe

9 would be the point I’d start to call it medium density, 16-20 the start of high density.

Using hps yeah my m2 is a rectanglish shape

sharp sand or horticultural sand is fine. building sand is too rounded in particle structure and full of salts and such

good to know, i remember using some soil once that was ment for germinating seeds and growing kitchen herbs. pretty sandy, once the surface dried out it remained nice and moist beneath.

it can compact the soil a bit though , so be wary of that and give the soil a good mix before planting up

 

[shiva82]

for personal smoke i grow in dirt only , but if i were in the business of retail it would be coco
