hey bender whats good. just wanted to say that on behalf of the raider followers we like what your doing. glad you got own thread. your plants look healthy as hell. just a few quick qs.
your ladies seem to be lovin the nutes! pure green leaves and healthy meristems that eat zipties with no adverse affects? dope. also what brand coco do you grow in, and how long did u use H&G a+b? also at what strength? i am trying to find out if i can use 1/4 strength and still keep happy, healthy plants in coco.
also i was wondering what you are doing about smell, if i remember correctly i didnt see a fan on your list but maybe i should check again.
awesome grow man keep up the good work and im in napa if u need anything. peace
Thanks bro for your kind words. I use botanicare loose cocogro. i tested canna coco, and there is no difference what so ever.
I have a can66 hooked up to a 6'' vortex exhausting out to deal with the sweet smell of my medicine.
One area where Raider and I differ is the nutes department, raider keeps the nutes on a bit lighter side.
I am known to push really high EC, last run I even pushed 3.5 EC for a week or so. I got away with it because I was using organics.
I have no experience with the full H&G line at all. I usually make my own nute schedule using the best that different companies have to offer. Such as the roots from H&G, karma from botanicare, great white as innoculants, etc..
I usually veg from EC of 1.0-1.8
and I flower at EC of 2.0-2.8.
I push it hard to determine what the max is for each strain, using organics with lots of bacteria definitely help from getting burned as the organics have to be broken down by the bacteria before the plants eat them.
I reckon I could never push all synthetics like GH this hard.
