Did you ever get that deficiency under control? I bet you got little tiny nugglets starting to form by now.

I think I did
keeping an eye on it but hasn't got worse. The skunk is definitely getting all hairy. The blackjack too but not as much yet. I also supercropped a few branches to try it out and i am documenting it. Scary for me but the plant didn't mind a bit! I will post some shit up Friday.

So, here's my supercropping attempt so far. Scared the shitout of me but they took it like champs. I did several branches just to get the experience and see if there is any benefit/difference. A couple looked like they would get into the lights and a couple didn't but just wanted to test it out. I worried all night after doing this but in the morning the heads were all pointed straight back up and the place I bent it was already stiffened up
It didn't seem to stress them at all. Here are pics of one over the last three days.

Sometimes after I supercrop I'll hang a wire clothes hanger on the branch to keep it in place. I recently did a supercrop on one of the og 18's and the branch almost nearly stood back up.
Looking good

Not much to report. Everything seems healthy and stable 400 ppm .8 EC and drinkin like a motherfucker. Seems like the stretch is almost over- especially for the skunk. The footprint is like 4x8 at this point. 3 weeks ago it was like 3x2!

Wow things are looking incredible. Looking to switch to hydro myself. Your pics only get me that much more stoked to give hydro a shot. Keep up the good work and I'll make sure to keep posted.
Lovin the growth rate. Puts my soil grows to shame!

Sweet. I do like hydro. This is by far the best setup compared to aero, dwc etc. The funny thing is my next run will be a coco mix with supersoil to see what the difference in end quality is between hydro and this organic mix. Keep an eye on homebrewer and Burrr if you want a good example of hydro and feed schedules. They are the only dudes that make sense and don't feed at rediculous rates with over priced eye candy. Anyway, welcome and enjoy the ride!Johny1212:

Fuckers are just crankin along down there. I have never really had a run go like this- vely excite! Just smooth sailing so far. Love the coco top feed, love the co2, new room is excellent and the dyna-gro is just the shit. I did add 1 ml/gal florolicoius plus to the mix and I am at .9 EC\450 ppm. Thanks to homebrewer for getting me on track! I had a shit ton of issues before I ran into his grows. For hydro this is my setup for good. I never thought I would be able to say that

Looking delicious, glad to hear you're content!
Noticed how frosty that SS is already, it's some BOMB smoke. Is she smelling like blueberries yet?

Fuckers reek! I had to add a scrubber in the room an added an ozone generator outside to be safe. I have my card but like to keep it lo pro for sure. After my last run in rockwool this is a total resurrection! Just in time to do a soil growLooking delicious, glad to hear you're content!

I guess they are back so here it is-
Day 35 12/12
Everything is looking good. They have eaten a few of the bottom leaves but it looks pretty normal. I am currently running 5.8 ph @ 500 ppm/1.0EC. 4 ml bloom, 1 ml grow, 2 ml magpro, 1 ml protekt, 1ml floralicious plus and 1 ml camg+ per gallon. They looked a little hungry so I added 50 ppm to this mix. I also switched to 600w lamps as you could see the 1k's footprint on the plants- light colored fans mostly but nothing alarming. The bulb was 20 " away and still seemed a bit much. I rearranged them bit to compensate. Next run I am going to try 2x 600w dual arc on a light mover. I am hoping this setup can run all year and stay around 85 without ac. One super skunk is stubbier than the others. Didn't stretch as much the first few weeks cause it fell a little behind when I stepped up to two feedings a day and was a little too wet that week
(it still looks killer just bushier). Otherwise both strains seem really consistent and I see no signs of Hermies (fem seeds). Hopefully I can pull these fuckers around the new year. I'm gonna need it-2012 is shaping up to be just fucking ridiculous from my perspective. Cheers!
Super Skunk- you can see the light leaves under the 1k bulb in the second pic.
