I'm looking at ordering DNA's Cannadential. Or Recon.
Nice, I like DNA Genetics, at least the one seed I grew. Sour Cream. Good strain. I want something that has a good yield, maybe can get close to a pound from it, but at the same time has a nice stone maybe a little trippy and finishes by 8 weeks.

MR - Looking great brother. When I read you developed nute burn I was expecting some really burnt leaves. Hell, you ended up with just a small blemish. Damn thing is deep, dark green. Keep doing what you're doing. Like D siad, too difficult to keep every portion of your plant 100%. I always end up with blemishes and irregularities on lower fan leaves. If your blemish is all you have to deal with, you are going to have a MONSTER grow. Looking forward to seeing those buds blow up over the next 3-4 weeks.

:lol: I'm a bit of a perfectionist and every small thing drives me CRAZY, but yea I need to just leave her alone and let her put on the weight and get fat. You guys think it'll hit he 1 lb mark? I'm hoping it will. It's got 30+ tops anywhere from 9"-15"

I got ppm meter working and calibrated again. Checked res this morning and it's down to 1150. Did max out at about 1580ish. Next res change I'll do 2.5 tsp of Nova Bloom, that should be around 1200ppm. pH was 6.0.

Mine topped out @ 1350, anything above that and it would rise. PPM's and PH... Idea...Lets mix up a gallon and compare measurements, see how off the 2 meters are.

You could do that but when I make 2 separate gallons using the exact same teaspoons the ppm's are always different.

Yeah, your right, but a large difference would mean one of us was off. My pen reads almost 200 ppm less than my inline monitor. Kinda need to figure which one is off. Pen 1350, Inline 1530. I go by the pen, but if the monitor is right I'm pushing to hard. Do you remember what 1 teaspoon a gallon averaged for you?

I wanted to add to this: I use my PEN and & My BlueLab Guardian Monitor - The BlueLaB reads about 200ppm more as well. But the PH and TEMP are within +-.1 PH or TEMP.

I am a process control engineer and I did some research on this and noted that the PPM has a +-5% so that would equate to the PPM reading higher on the BlueLab or Any other type of PPM Probe other than the PEN style. -

I'm thinking the pen is off, it's 5 yrs old, and never been calibrated. The monitor is a month old. So, I'm probably sitting around 1500ish...Who knows.

um,. a teaspoon? right at 500 if I remember right. It was pretty close to the label.

Sweet grow man. Love the scrog. Definetly gna try it out next time around. I got a similar set up as u except in soil and multiple plants. I got about 25 tops right now not counting the clones I put straight in to 12/12. Im only lsting to keep canopy even and open. Im hoping to yeild atleast a HP since these kush strains aren't the highest yeilders. Im really interested in what kind of weight u pull from ur set up.

What week flowering r u at?

in week 4 now, week 5 starts Monday. You should try to grow in hydro next time. Specifically a waterfarm. Love this little bucket.

I do grow in hydro at my collective (custom coco mix to be exact), I do like it but I love the taste I can get outa soil. If i do go hydro at the mini grow I would probably do a DWC set up in the big 10inch pipes (forgot what's its called).

Cool im in the 3rd week right nnow in the mini grow and 6th week at the big collective grow. Just posted pics if u wanna check em out (link in sig)

Thanks. You should get a journal going. Would be a lot easier for us fellow waterfarmers to help you
