subbed lad..nice thread...rep given
We have to watch who we let handle our pork don't we!?party sucked cause of the rain and someone burned the pork I brought, o well it was a good day.
Sorry to interject but height is really a poor way to gauge a plants potential of yield or to even associate with yield. Unless you're growing vertically or you're growing with high wattage overlapping horizontal lighting, a taller plant does not mean a bigger or better yield. The further the plant is away from the light, the lower the quality of fruit you're going to harvest. Just my 2 cents. Happy growingSo off of an average of 3.5ft tall plants your still only getting an average of 2oz usable? I was expecting more after my experience outdoors, should I only expect a couple ounces off of a 4fter indoors? How long is your veg to achieve that yield? I was planning on vegging 24/0 for 1.5-2.5 months tops. Then switching to 18/6 for a couple weeks, then to 12/12.
I want to make my own strain. I've got a bunch of seeds from when I lived down south, and it's from some pretty nice seedy bud I used to get quarter pounds of. I started some of those off and there's one plant that just LAUNCHED up in growth, wasn't even the first to sprout and it's 3x the size of the others. If it's a male I'm gonna neuter him and collect his leaves and pollen. Maybe put him outside until its too cold. But I want to use his/her genetic growth speed, it's amazing. Then I'm gonna see what Females taste and smell the best, and which males are most Indica looking. Then I'm gonna get some Chara seeds and start breeding my Southern blend into it, then over time get more strains and make a couple perfect strains that I can credit to the south.
Yep that is the scary thing about hydro for me, the fact that everything can go down hill in a hurry if you're not on top of it all the time! Thanks for the ppm infoz, I really need to start getting something setup.growing inside and outside are two different things. apples and oranges. Outside oyu get the free sun and non stop growing, inside is mroe controlled.
I am not runnig DWC in the summer as I do not have a chiller to keep the tmeps down. When I run them in the winter I go with the basic General Hydro. Micro, grow, bloom and Grow Big and I have Tiger Bud or something lik that as well. I havent completely bought into the whole nutrients for every day theory and I just try and kep it simple.
I calculate my ppm with a ppm stick and stay around 300-500 for veg and gradually going up to 1100 for full on flower. Its fun but you need to watch it every day, you can lose a whole crop in hydro in hours.
Thanks for the clarification, I'm just picking people's brains at the moment for generalizations. I have a couple journals I will probably try to duplicate when I have the time to put the effort into it. Have a good weekend JoC. Keep an eye on your pork this weekend!dont take my word for gospel, every strain is different and they each have their own tolerances, thats just what I start out with and move the PPM according to their reaction, but its a good place to start.
Its funny how some strains can max out around 1500ppm, while others can't surpass 1000ppm without nute burn....dont take my word for gospel, every strain is different and they each have their own tolerances, thats just what I start out with and move the PPM according to their reaction, but its a good place to start.
