ineverveg, they are a deep purple with frost. After two weeks of flower, they were already pushing out a dark purple inner flower than the others. From there, its just grown more purple and green. I tried to get multiple bud shots to see if there was any difference. I have a mom ready for the next round which will be a sea of purple. I have TGA's qrazy train that I just topped and am cloning the tops to sex.
I personally don't use any additives yet. Just not got round to it.
think down the road i might try to isolate the blue dream pheno from crosses and backcross with the berry bomb some more to try to get that big bomb trait with flavor of dream.
Canna Rhizotonic, from day one...as a matter of fact it's like 16ml/gal from the start winding down in dosage to 4ml/g during flower. It has a huge following here on RIU too. Talk about roots. I use clear solo cups inside an opaque one so I can check root development of young sprouts.
I might have to give that shit a try.
Ive personally been using roots excelurator. I havent run an entire grow with it, but it's certainly helped with root growth on clones and seedlings. The stuff is bloody expensive though. $60 for a pint.
Yes, very safe on the young ones...some here are soaking their seeds in Rhizotonic. For the plants I'm growing now, I used Canna "Start" for the first time in conjunction with Rhizotonic. With "Start" there's no guess work on when to mix 1/8th or 1/4th strength nutes for new sprouts/clones. It's a one part nutrient system with micro-nutrients and you use it full strength the day they pop above the medium, and of course for clones until mature enough to go full strength with normal nutes. I wish this was around when I was a newbie. I was leery but had backup sprouts to play with so I douched them with full strength. No worries!
Wattsaver, I thought the same thing myself ...but they only come on 1-1.5hrs after I get home...so now it's light beer before light's on, hefeweizen's after lights on.
Yea I really wouldn't expect to carry tripod gene. Just thinking that there may be other valuable trait/pheno genes more readily available in the mutant. Then again it could be like adding dirt to pancakes (not nearly as good as the original). I'll never know unless I try.
Ya know what FIM stand for I'm sure.
Here's how I'm setup right now. I'm pulling air from inside a wall in my basement. That air travels through the air hood to which it's pulled over the light and out the fan on the either side. From there, to muffle the sound, I am using a speed controller to turn down the fan speed and then use another duct as an intake into my tent so the cold air is used to cool not only the 400 watt, but also inside the tent. There is a definite SUCK going on because the tent pulls in. I just have no idea how the smell is escaping. All the tent holes are zip lined shut. I'm at 5 weeks flowering and the smell intensifies by the day (as we all know :] )
