this summer will be upgraded to a GrowLab GL80L with a 2x4 Ebb and Flood table 2 400s in Daystar ac hoods and 1gal Smart Pots of Ready Gro Moisture formula on flood and drain and I should get over a pound every 8 weeks!

Im loving this idea also dude, i think your onto a real winning formula with Airpots & E&F, Simple & i think will be extreamely efficient. I cant wait to see your results here, what inspired you to run this system, is someone else running a similar system & inspired yourself or is it yourown brainchild bro! Very Nice Idea! also how do you find the the moisture formula?
Peace....Scrog!

 

[Thundurkel]

Well the 2 400s and a E&F table I wanted and came up with myself but the Smart Pots on Flood and Drain with H&G nutes I got from Mini over at the Bay were I spend a lot of my time these days also. He gets great results and runs 5-8 strains at a time and has no problems!!! That's impressive since I've had problems running different strains with other nutrients but not now! I'm following mjactivist's feeding schedule which Mini helped him with. I just don't have Sweet and Carbo Load and will be going with BudCandy when I start flowering...(hopefully,if not all I have is Sugaree)

 

[MrBomDiggitty]

I know you like to take lots of vegging pics, but do you think we could see the finished buds this time around?

 

[Thundurkel]

I take pics when I have batteries and too bad if you don't like it, I DON'T LIKE YOU! Stay outta my threads as I've said before....

Back on topic,
So yea things are looking fucking incredible right now all my girls are lovely and all perked up and I got some pics to share of the progress with what I had left in some old batteries I had lol I hate being so damn poor right now!

Sugar Cane Kush pheno B fan leaves 4-26-10 looks like the Hubba Bubba Grape Pheno yea?

Strawberry D coffin cut's 1&2 on 4-26-10

Strawberry D's up top then left to right on the bottom is Gorilla Grape, Magic Merlin2 and Magic Merlin1 on 4-26-10

and then the batteries dies before I could get a top shot of the Sugar Cane Kush sisters!

 

[reservationlabs]

Yeah my friend Sugar Cane Kush plant B does look like it may be a Grape Hubba Bubba Bubble Gum phenotype. If it does in fact end up being that phenotype you are in for some excellent smoke, dark purple buds and weight!

 

[Scrogerman]

WOW Urk!
Tha`t guy BD must of really upset you fella, ive never seen you say anything like that to anyone before, i hate trolls man, fookin time waisters man. Anyway bro, looking good man,
what do you think the leaf damage is there, looks possibly pest orientated or nute, but? mmm, interesting that, what is your thoughts on that one, hope you got the Hubba Grape Pheno, Mmmm, Hubba Grape Pheno, just rolls off the tounge man! Good luck Thund!
Peace...Scroger!

 

[Thundurkel]

Yea I can't stand it when I've stopped bickering with somebody but yet they come to my threads and take lil shots at me worded ever so carefully not to look like to much of a douche but look back through my stuff and you'll see the BD guy just talking shit and after I drop it and don't even look at his shit he still feels he needs to watch my grows...

 

[MrBomDiggitty]

LOL. You got three thousand posts. You got I don't know how many threads. I've seen countless vegging pics. When it comes to the final day of chopping, no pics. Nothing.

I'm not ever so carefully wording shit. Just pointing out the obvious.

Last time I sent you a private message asking how you can be repping Cali when you are growing AZ strains. You had to turn that into some troll flame war attempt. All you had to do was come correct with the info and its no biggie. You wanna call any comment I make a flame, then I won't comment on your whack grows that never show a final product.

 

[Thundurkel]

Peace...Scroger!

What damage are you speaking of? The close up of SCK? If so the blotchy pattern is a trait of the strain

The leaf coloration is a trait passed on within the strain. Most of the time that plants carrying this feature have a certain growth pattern, and scent.

There is no "Hubba Grape" plant. The plants are SUGAR CANE KUSH created by myself and the phenotype that everyone finds to be the keeper is a shorter, more wide leaf, blotchy leaved plant that smells like GRAPE HUBBA BUBBA BUBBLE GUM and turns deep purple (almost black).

Hope that is some helpful information.

 

[Thundurkel]

REPEAT!!!! It's SUGAR CANE KUSH!!! Not Big Purple! or Hubba Bubba Grape! I know it's got you mad that the hood is renaming your shit as it would piss me off too. I hate when that happens cuz then I get a bag of something I'm told is "This" and then hunt down a clone only to find out it's NOTHING like what I had smoked cuz it was something TOTALLY different in name!

 

[Thundurkel]

WoooooooooooooooooooooooHooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo! today I get my new PPM Pen!!! For those of you like me that don't have a lot of money to spend of expensive meters that are over $100 each! Check this out!!!

HM Digital is pretty nice and accurate although they are the only company I have had experience with when it comes to TDS meters and the top of the line pens they have are NICE!!!

 

[Thundurkel]

Here are the two HM Digital meters that I will be getting this summer and are what I'm going to use on all my grows since I like what they have to offer and everybody I know has different brands lol...

Anyway check out these meters as they are REALLY nice and both under $100 each..

Urkle,

How did you like using the smart pots vs air pots? I am having problems with the smart pots and am about to switch all to airpots. Do you water in your tent with the trays or pull the plants out and water them on trays outside of the tent and put them back in?

I still don't know yet as I never vegged out shit properly in either of them until this round so I'm not sure. I can say my Strawberry D's in the Smart Pots are really taking off now and I have bright white roots poking out the sides all over the place. I also opened up one of the Air Pots that the Sugar Cane Kush's are in and FUCK ME! I know it's the Roots Excelurator doing the extra cuz compared to last time I've got CRAZY roots going on I'll take some pics cuz I got some batteries last night and they're the Energizer Ultimate Lithium which last 8x's as long as Energizer Max which have lasted longer than the Duracel Power Pix I was getting before so I'll have my camera working for a good while hahaha

 

[benzo]

whoa what are those weird pots/containers you are using???

 

[GrnMtnGrwr]

Stop wasting your money and buy some rechargeable batteries. There's no reason not to.

 

[reservationlabs]

Sugar Cane Kush just throws a massive amount of roots. The roots that I cleaned out of the pots from the little "test" run were massive. Roots everywhere.

Looking good bruz, I'll be tagging you up for this ride.

Peace an Respect
