Why does RIU do bad things to good people? I just wrote out the nicest and most flattering post welcoming you back and thanking you for the shout out. But of course, if you press backspace at the wrong time (which is completely decided at random by RIU) it deletes everything you write out and sends you back a page. GFDFML (God fucking dammit; fuck my life, for future reference.)
In summary:
Happy as I can be to see you back and growing here on RIU. The combo of super meaty delicious sugary stems, constant rotation, and your experience should be enough to pull 6lbs off those monsters with just your 2k. I appreciate the shout out, and I'm sure I talked a few times about Potassium Silicate and it's supreme awesomeness, but I do not believe I recommended the Dutch Master variety, unless you had already mentioned you like Dutch Master and I recommended it based off of that. 99% of the time I recommend DynaGro Protekt. I fucking love the attention, but I don't want to steal someone else' thunder.
But I bet the Silica has a little bit to do with those meaty stems, doesn't it?
You did, by the way, inspire me to do a lot of vertical growing in my veg rooms. I am always short on power with CFL, and I am using horticulture grade 125 and 250w CFL, but vert is a great solution! I am rebuilding my bloom room actually, 2/3 of the way done, and the idea was to better design my room to accommodate vertical and/or horizontal lighting. My grow partners that I recently moved in with have a good grow space and 2 excellent hoods, XXXL Magnum 6" A/C by Sunlight Supply, so they are hesitant to give them up, but I am redoing this grow room to make all use of light and ventilation as efficient and effective as possible, and I've done a very good job. The idea is to grow in horizontal settings under ideal conditions with same strain and number of plants, then do the same thing vert and see what happens. I would also like to scrog once and see what happens. I will probably use twice as many bulbs in vert, as I am not home as often as I used to be, and cannot rotate plants all the time, so I will used twice as many bulbs until my grow can pay for me to stay home. My grow partners could rotate plants, but they are forgetful to say the very least. Anyways, I am not thread jacking, I just wanted to boost your ego a little bit. Let you know you really did inspire me.
I went on a 8 week search of good Giesel locally after your last grow, no joke, and some how I ended up with some really good Sour Diesel seeds by Cali Connection (AJ's Cut [East Coast Sour Diesel] x Afghani #1 from Elite Genetics) and bought them because they were the last pack of seeds of this amazing strain anywhere. I hear good things about CC's Sour D. CC's OGiesel was right in front of me, but I was too tempted by the Sour D. There had to be a reason they were 30 more bucks a pack, lol. But I still want some of that Giesel, it looks soooo tasty!
Boy oh boy would I love to sit in front of your garden with a few bean bag chairs and a bong, and shoot the shit. I'd go cross eyed trying to learn everything I have to ask if I read it all.
Also, what type of coco do you use? Do you use the fine husks or the chunkier haul/husk combo? If you use the chunky stuff I got a picture for you that'll make you shit bricks...
