The Prophet: Hydro v. Soil for MMJ.

[geekusa]

I'm currently in the planning phase for my MMJ setup, and I've decided I'm going to do a run of the Prophet along side some Pre98 Bubba Kush & OG Kush. Both the Bubba & OG are going to be grown Hydro, but I'm much better with soil so I was curious if anyone has any experience with the prophet when it comes to the grow medium?

I haven't determined the number of grows it will take, but I hope to be able to pass along the Prophet to some SoCal dispensaries.

Thanks for the help,

GeekUSA, good question and here's my take on it..... Soil grown pot is tasty but lacks when trying to grow for numbers. That said, you can run a soil-less mix (i.e. promix) and run yer "organics" in with it. I recommend to water in most, if not all yer nutes, giving you a better idea of exactly what yer feeding yer plants, being able to customize at different plant stages, when problems arise and ...... I myself prefer a synthetic/organic blend using Dyna-Grow as a base nute. (Running GH fer years, we switched to Dyna after side by side testing, showing GH to be inferior.) I love MetaNaturals as my secondary fert, but I think one of tha main issues when it comes to finishing crops, is tha flush. Many folks'll use a ClearEx/plain water flush fer 3-14 days. And while using tha clearing solutions is great fer acouple days, anythang over this is just flushing out and creating this bland flavored herb. I love using Earth Juice's Catalyst, PHing tha water to 5.5-6.3 and using this flush to finish tha crops. Tha Catalyst, though not very consistent from batch to batch, imparts a natural, clean burning and flavorful pot.


Hope this helps,
