Yes you should, in another month or so I will begin my auto-top 2 plant SCRoG under 430 HPS and I will need you around for some guidance.

Really? Maybe I grew his cut then.
Thinking about going with the Sensi line from Advanced as a base this time.
I'm actually gonna start prepping my system over the holiday weekend. Still haven't found my scrog screen yet.
I might be bugging you for a cut soon.

Awesome.
I'm sure to have my second journal up and running by then.
It will be cool to have another auto-top journal to interact with. Again, crucial to have especially if you're gonna scrog.
And i noticed how powerfully tall your plants stretched. Monstrous in the end, huh? I told you. But the scrog will help to contain that next time.

Ouch! Harsh review.
I'm trying to move away from GH as it's all I've used... And I've come to suspect that it leaves a 'thumbprint' that alters the taste and aroma of any given marijuana strain.

Try Jack's Classic.
Also somebody else on this thread recommended the Lucas Formula to bring out the best tastes and such.
Sorry but Advanced Nutrients is milking the scene worse than Final Fantasy.
I used to use FloraNova Growth for veg, and I must say I loved the results, and very concentrated.
Ever considered growing in live organic soil?

Hm. Lucas, huh? I'll read up on it.
GH produces excellent results to be sure. But I think I've outgrown it. After eight grows with the same GH three part micro nute package, I'm ready for something a bit more advanced. I'm very much into the idea of a nutrient formulated specifically for Sensi growing. I'm not sure how the NPK numbers are derived in the GH bases but there are nutes out there that stay more liquid and don't muck up your works with that brown color.
I know Advanced is making a really hard push in the market, but I do recall seeing an independent study that compared Advanced to GH to FoxFarm in the same high-tech hydro grow environment. Advanced kicked GH's and Foxfarm's ass. Yielded several ounces more.
Edit:
Soil isn't really something I would consider because of the insect vermin. I have nightmares about some of the bug problems I've read about on various forums.

people overspend way too much on nutes and complete nute systems that cost hundreds of dollars. nutes are nutes. you can read exactly whats in it and believe me its the same for advanced as it is for GH. they just use different conc. and some additives to get people to believe its better. its not. ive always said, "your growing weeds for heavens sake not trees".
if you want to go clean, get Dutch Master Gold Zone. Buffers water, helps plants intake nutes, and leaves your roots shiny and stark white. If you want microbes, I guess go Great White. I would spend my money on these items rather than nutes.
taste is very much genetics, though soil is known to produce a heavier taste, and hydro a lighter/sweeter one. however, if you really want taste, its mostly in how you cure your bud (after genetics), for how long, if you treat it, etc. ive had some strawberry diesel strains that were cured badly and tasted like nothing and others that were cured well for 2 months and literally tasted of strawberries.
Some dispensaries I know cure their bud with aromatic compounds they design to actually give taste to buds. a common and easy one is lemon or orange peels in the jar. Some people use apple slices to give it an apple taste (apparently. Ive yet to taste an apple flavored bud). U can buy or make aromatic and terpenes food manufacturers use in food as well.

Interesting. I'm considering what you've said and will look around some more. Thanks.

Hey boss. As you know I used AN Sensi in my grow. In spite of the major problems that I ran into, my product turned out pretty nice by Minnesota standards. I get a great high from about one and a half hits every night. (I usually take two more a couple hours later.) Could be the quality of the LSD strain, but the nutes must have been ok too. Only bad thing is that the smoke really burns my mouth. Don't know what causes that. Anyway, vaporizing it takes all the excessive burning away.
I'm having surgery at the end of Sep, so can't start my next grow yet. If you could add a link in this journal to your next one when you get around to it, I'd love to follow it. It'll give me something fun to read while I'm in the hospital.

Hey, if AN Sensi is good enough for you, I think I'll give it a whirl.
I'm building my scrog screen today. I think I have the dimensions worked out.
Edit:
Finished building and installing scrog screen (see below).
I guess I'll have to start my scrog journal soon if for no other reason than to give you something to read in the hospital.

pictures please, I need one to model my own after. September 20th I am looking to have my to ladies underneath their SCRoG net using auto-top off remote reservoir, inspired by you.

Funny you should say that. I just finished and am so proud of my work (and surprised at how easy it was), that I thought I'd post a pic (or two):
I was worried about the tri-meter and its wires getting in the way, but I slipped it in nice and snug without having to relocate the meter. Sweet. I also chose an extra wide mesh since I grow rather large bitches.
As you can see, I adjusted for the original scrog shelf being too low by building legs for the screen frame with PVC. I think I got the height just right in relation to the surface of the tub.
Ah, scrogging at last. This is gonna be fun.

Looking very nice. If you grow the Diablo again, make sure to weave that fucker in and out of the mesh. With the vigor you get, you could have some massive cola's in there!
