Hey guys what do you think of this. Im considering adding a UVB 10.0 bulb to the girls to increase resin production as well as some really dilluted molasses to fatten them up. Opinions appreciated.

Many people swear by molasses, personally I don't use it, Most fertilizers contain sugar and a lot of additives contain molasses.

I think molasses causes more issues than it does anything beneficial. It attracts bug is one reason I don't mess with it.

Not sure about the back plant not being as frosty bro, I wouldn't worry about though I'm sure it will catch up in thc production soon enough.

Everything sounds good so far bro, just a waiting game now, hehe I still haven't chopped my LA's

Hmmm, maybe thats a good option to go with. I just want to add something to enhance the already sweet taste of the strain.

Not sure on LA's, Been flushing them and scoping trich's daily. I'd say a week or less before chop though. I don't know anything about UVB Bulbs bro but I'd buy overdrive for that price what size container is it.

Molasses is soil is great to use, but molasses in hydro is a mess waiting to happen.
A cooler is a good option for you. I have not had any regrets since switching from the RM.
I was always watching the temps in the RM and now I don't stress them.
I would really suggest getting a PPM meter as well. It will give you a much better understanding of what is going on in the rez.
All of your buds will frost up the way your smaller ones are. In about 2-3 weeks you will really be itching to pick one. Hold tight tho.
Good things come to those who wait.

Lol, they seem to have frosted up abit over night after I treated the roots a couple times. Yup going to take my ph meter in and use the warranty to upgrade to the combo with temp, ph and ppm in one. Know any places to get cheap coolers? I like the big ones (the coffin sized ones) but they are a hundred or so each. I did put a fish tank type thermometer in my res today to monitor the temps alil better.

I have some Purp to tide me over til harvest time lol.

Best places I have found for the coolers are at Wal-Mart or at sports stores. Wal-Mart has the 100-150 L coolers for like $80.
I would suggest flowering no more than 3 per cooler. Keep the roots free from eachother.
If you get too big of a cooler then you will use more nutes per pez change. More nutes, more money.. I use the 100 L

3 Plants 100 liter coolers. got it. now do you cut holes in the existing lid or fashion a styrofoam lid with net pot holes in it?

IMO I would and did not drill holes in a perfectly good lid. I took the lid off and put it away in the shed.
I bought a sheet of 3/4 residential sheathing from Lowes and triple layered it so it is like 2 inches thick. Cut with razorblade.
If you can find the styrofoam that is that thick then that would work too. I have step by step in my journal on page 6.
Flower 1-3 plants in that cooler, but you can veg 20 if you want. But then you will have to make a new lid.

Hmm, that makes the most sense to me. I'll check out page six. What do you think of twenty plants in one cooler for a sog? or is that too close together even for a sog?

Honestly the way I think about it is. You get charged per plant if prosecuted. Not how much each plant produces.
So I would much rather have 3 plants that will yield a pound rather than have 20 plants to yield a pound.
So I keep it to a minimum.

True but how practical is it too do a perpetual scrog? I can understand how it would be done that isn't hard at all but I'm wondering how practical it would be. thanks for the link btw very informative. Psh, yeah tax stamps in texas not gonna happen

I'm sure it can be done a few different ways.
Have 2 different screens and coolers for flower. One screen for each cooler. 1-3 plants per cooler in flower. 2 preferred
Have a couple more smaller coolers to veg and LST them in before going under the screen.
Have them on two weeks intervals. Chop one then move one from veg into its place under the screen.
Keep em going constantly.
