Thanks. Its supposedly Bruce Banner # 3, he has 2 variations of it, both look very similar, one is denser and the smoke is light fruity tasting then real hashy, buzz is more mellow, the other is less dense, and very fruity tasting all the way through and the buzz is intense body/head high. The fruity is really the best tasting I have ever had. And the seeds I got were from a hermie bud of the fruity.
But it looks like I have both variations from the way they look.
My room temp is 76f and I have a 10" fan with duct blowing in at the closet door and a 12" fan inside plus another 10" exhaust. Temps are high, but even at the hottest its only hitting 82 right now, dark period stays at 76. Humidity is pretty solid 50%, may range up or down a few. Most of that nasty growth you see is just nute burn, I really did a number on them, hence the Ph questions... Thanks for the tips tho, first grow so I know I have plenty of things to learn still..

Bruce Banner! lol, i will need to look into those genetics but it sounds like a really nice Smoke, i personally love the fruity tasting strains and the spicey hash tasting strains too, Aw Hell I love ALL of em, lol, well except that sickly stinky Diesel. :p heh.

So, anywho man, it looks like you got your setup all sorted with temps and that kinda exquiptment running, props to you. I did figure some Heat/Light stress like mine but you said you Fattened her up with Nutes, so actually i'm looking into my feed schedule to see if i overfed. heh.
I also tried new feeds that run, i used 'Gout' it is a new range of feeds from Holland and i recieved a free 'full range' from a friend.

On a different note, i also named one of my Phenos 'The Hulk' last run, because she was so Vigarous during growth and Dense when she started flowering! xD

Update:

I had 4 B-52s that were feminized, i super cropped 3 of them and all the ones I super cropped had/have the ball looking things. (i have 2 b-52s left and one has ball things. I'm going to let it go for a few more days and see if pistils shoot out or if they swell bigger (pre-bursting)

I switched to 12/12 so i can finish these giant mazar kush twins. The top 69 is taking longer than advertised (to be expected) so now it will have to finish its last 1-2 weeks in 12/12.

The only problem I had with RO or distilled water was that with little to no trace elements it was not buffering for me real well. The ph would drop drastically when I added nutes, and it was really hard to ph down the plain water without going to far. Now I just leave tap water out for a couple days and its usually around 6.7-7.7 and the nutes buffer it down to the low 6's, and the ph down does not effect the tap water as drastically. What I really need is a ppm/ec tester and really do the science involved.

I dab my finger on the underside of the cap of my nutes and then mix it in the 7.0, usually drops it down to 6.6 or so. For Ph down I mix 1/8 tsp with 1 cup of water to dilute it, then add a small amount of that to my distilled. Otherwise like you said the Ph up/down is too strong.

I think I will try just st8 distilled next time. My tap water is off the charts, and smells like a swimming pool, not even drinkable without a filter of some kind. So I prefer not to mess with it.

Thanks, thats pretty much what I thought, but was lurking around other threads and saw the debate going, and figured I would isolate my question here since I see ppl know what they are doing. I am sticking with FF ocean forest or happy frog for now, its Ph 6.3 - 6.8 out of the bag and easier for me than mixing my own.

I am just trying to keep it simple right now and not add anything I do not have to, I can go with 7.0 distilled for watering, and the bloom/koolbloom added in just puts it at 6.0 - 6.3, and will let my run off determine what I need to adjust. My run off with last watering was 6.7 - 6.9, and my last feeding after that was at 6.2 - 6.3 so I figure I have to be pretty close and didnt want to Ph my distilled if not needed. Just like to reassure myself at times being I am new so I ask here...

Hopefully I can retain it all going into the next grow and be patient. LOL

I remember being told to check your run off ph when you water with plain water. Because straight water has a lower ppm than water with nutes, it will more readily retain the ph of the medium. Water that has been phd and has nutes added will not necessarily runoff at the ph of the medium, but ro water will. At least that is what I read somewhere or someone told me, and it seemed logical so I believe it.

Too bad they are feared because of trashy owners.. Have had a couple, great dogs, extremely smart and very loyal. Great with kids too.

One use to climb the palm tree in the yard and hang out on the roof looking for something to chase

I had a Pitbull as well. She was the best dog ever. She didn't even bark. She never harmed a fly. We adopted her. She was found as a pregnant stray.

I had a problen with my well water. It is 7.4ph, so I add 5ml of 5% Vinegar(acetic acid) to each Gal of H20, dropping my ph by 1.0 point, to 6.4. My garden seems to love it. So far I have decapitated 2 males and have one more under suicide watch. I will be sure in another day or so. The remainder are definate ladies.

Good on SOS/Nirvana seeds. 9 days from order to delivery. Fast and stealthy, with some freebies. I know there are complaints by others, who had problems, but my experience is very good thus far. I give two thumbs up. Can hardly wait to finish this grow and start on new strains.

When I click "reply" under a post, write whatever and click "post quick read", it sometimes turns up on another page. I read the FAQ's and how to post and all...Am I doing something wrong, or does a post go to the last page by default?? I am a dumb old fart and all, but I haven't had trouble posting on other forums. I'm so old, my first gorilla grows were fertilized with Dinosaur manure...lol...actually 1967.

It will show up as the last reply automatically.

I have heard with well water that the ppm is sometimes too high. I will not venture to say if this is true or if it can present a problem but I do know that more people are utilizing ppm and ec when growing. It's something I intend to look at though.

The ground water here is very hard. High iron and sulfur, as well as other ppm's I do not know about. It is only drinkable after going through 2 filters. The vegetable garden and my wife's flowers and herbs seem to do well using it. My garden looks healthy(soil media) using ph adjusted water and GH neuts. The greatest influence I have seen on developement is from the 250w HPS that began a little over a week ago. It makes them a little leggy, but the flowers are coming along nicely. I added some 4" T12 floros around the sides to get more light inder the canopy.
