Hey, got your link UB. Thanks.
Yea, I bet the trimming was a PITA. Sorry to hear they got beat up some but they sure look nice. Been thinking about your suggestion of doing a sativa run in my little greenhouse, sounds good. These stayed at about 7 feet and finished in 14 weeks. Definitely doable. Got some C99 F5 clones going now. I hear they are a quick flowering sativa but never tried growing it.
Yea, as far as nutrients goes I'm with you. People pay way to much for them. I'm on Jacks now. I just started using it this last grow and although it had been different strains that I had grown in the past I do believe I saw more bud clusters then previous grows. I cant tell you whats going on inside a plant or done side by side comparisons but I do know in the past I paid $50 for a gallon of nutes that lasted one grow and didn't do as well. I'm hooked, got me a 20 lb sack of the bloom. Black gold/FFOC with some castings is the base soil. I use it three or four times before replacing it.
Again, Sweet lookin buds man. Didn't mean to ramble on, just thought you might be interested.
