lol I got so many packs, it was hard to decide. But I picked Sure Fire Seeds Firestarter (WhiteFire x Casey Jones). They're pretty much the only fem. seeds I have faith in. The last fems I ran were horrible, I prefer regs but I've seen a lot of positive reviews on the Firestarter. No reports of herms/nanners so if I can get 5 girls I'll be happy.

I picked up a bottle of CannaStart while I was grabbing my other shit. I figured if I was buying everything else, I should do what I can to give my seedling the best chances of being healthy. He told me I'd be ok with A + B for seedlings but the CannaStart is a nutrient not just an additive so I'm hoping it will make things easier.

bare in mind not to feed canna start for long may be the first week until 3rd set, from my experience.

Ok I will make sure not to use it for too long, thanks.

5x5 tent, 6in vortex fan, 600w in a Magnum XXX hood or whatever that big mafucker is called. Full canna line, canna coco (the shop didn't have coco pro), ro water, plus some great white. And some cal/mag of course. in 2.5 gal air pots

Hey Chosen we're running a lot of the same stuff. I use a 1000w and tap/dehumidifier water though. Results are pleasing to say the least.
Next time around I'm thinking of trying the 3.5 gallon Airpot instead, but I have no problems with the 2.5 gallon.. just have to water daily or multiple times a day. Starting week 7, I've been trying to give em water twice a day now instead of just one big gulp. I think I notice a growth increase plus they're just getting fucking fat.

Yes there is a wire in that kushes bush. Every time itl choke its self out i shouldnt have topped the thing. Been growing these to cuts for bout year and am still happy with the product. And still put out half dubbies. I wish bubba would speed up, its probally twice the age that apollo is. Needless to say i only run one at a time cause of the slow pace it has. I got several more apollos that are in 2 gals too but a week or too be hind this apollo, and bigger. Kind of a steady harvast every few weeks.

Dats cool man let me know ur updates on the cns17...well i called botanicare and asked them wat the ph comes out to when jus cns17 grow and ro water are mixed. And they said 5.1 —5.2 ... Well i did a lil expirment , i tested the ph and it,came out to 5.3. Then i mixed ad ph perfect grow(with the monkey on the label) & ro water it came out to 5.68...but i dont know if u need micro for the ph perfect to work , they say u do but i think they jus want u to buy it.but i bought it becuz i didnt have a ph pen for awihle and jus used ad ph perfect grow to get my ph close to 5.8 ......also i found out the sunleaves liquid ph tester reads very unaccurite.. Both cns17 and ad grow show yellow color witch is 6.0 area thinking cns17 was also close to 5.8 also thinking my brand new ph pen was messed up.. let me know wat u come up to man

Yea that ph perfect never even budged my waters ph dont think its better. Ive been using Gh floraduo on all those trust me i have trichomes down that stalk still. I will say ans base nutrients are really good just ph after mixing it all up. I will always use bud blood. Till i find a forsure way to get that golf ball size flowers in 1st week, budblood.
Then my cns 17 nutrients sink to the bottom of the jug/res and will not dissolve so i am not using that. IDK bad batch lol there loss, I am working on simplifing growing in coco its a everyday water is getting old. Im hurtn more and more i guess thinking of trying 7 gallon pots instead of 2gal and 1 gal.

I spoke to someone yesterday about my reverse osmosis and told them what dose the ph come to...they said it depends how ur city water is, but the ranges of ro water ph is 6.0—7.0... Well yesterday i went with the readings on my ph pen to see if wat happens. The plants will let me know if something is wrong...im trying to get rid of these red stems i have on my pbk before i switch to 12/12. I heard it will give u a poor yield if u dont take care of that.

Red stems low yield Idk I've never once considered that. Might have to ask why does a stem turn red. Its all good but I see red and green stems on my plants ah shoot.

Ya red stems can be basicly anything, acouple problems like root aphids can cause mag deff make the stem purple. Most likely anything lack of npk will cause deficiencys ...correct me if im wrong.

plenty of flushing give low feeding and checking ph , ec readings runoff . things seem getting better....

a lack of any of the NP or K will cause purple stems...and some plants just have purple stems anyway...

i agree its not always a def some strains have red'ish steams naturally, giving our plants some cal mag from early age resulting in happy plant and no def, also a good 20% run off with every watering, i do this and plants couldn't be hapyer and healthier, just my 2 cent :bigjoint:

Absolutely amazing pics man, well done!! I think I drooled slightly over that crystal content!

I have a quick question, I am currently growing a coco and perlite mix using coco specific canna nutes. I am hand watering and have 7 plants on the go. Does anybody know of a way to modify the hand watering method, just with regards to the catchment tray?

I currently just have the usual trays at the bottom of the pots but it is really getting tricky moving around my space as all of the plants increase in size and there have been a close calls and also a few spillages.

I dont want to lose the hand watering method as I actually enjoy it, I just dont enjoy clearing the run off that I get!

Thanks everyone! Im going to light one up and hopefully return for a chat! :bigjoint:
