brooooo i have been following this journal forever now, and if i remember right, (super baked), i think i originally started reading this on 420mag. I'm getting ready to start my grow soon so i wanted to thank you for sharing your knowledge, cuz it's helped me out a f load so far. I'm a first time grower and I'm going to be growing with a slightly modified version of your system. so thanks once again bro, your knowledge is invaluable.

Stinkbud, do you still use the same nutes and strength for flowering? The recipe on pg 75 2000ppm and 5.8 ph or have you changed it and if so can you please repost it if its not the original one. Thanks

Very few, if any, still follow that recipe, its way to hot. I tinkered with it and came up with a great recipe that you can find in my thread. I, along with quite a few others, have had very good success with it.

For 18 gallon containers I am using this, which gives a much lighter load, then add Pro Grow or Bloom to it as needed, like if the leaves get to be light green. Add CalMag if you get spots from a deficiency of that. I stole this from SS1 and then took liberties with it. This is a paste from the word doc I posted on the wall of my grow room. Better to start with something like this and then adjust by watching your plants. Starting veg with 400-700 ppm and adjusting up to 900 if they will tolerate it works for me. I start bloom around 700 and go up to 900 or so if the plants can take it without burning. Keeping your pH in range is a big deal, I picked up a second meter because they wear out and having a screwy reading can really mess you up. Have fun. BTW, I am still a noob and about to start my 4th grow, but each run has improved and has had an improved yield so the advice I got from these folks has worked great.

Your PPM is really strain dependent. I was reassured of this on my current batch. I have 20+ different strains going right now. I feed them all exactly the same nutes at the same strength. Some are showing signs of over-feeding, some are looking under-fed, most of them look perfect. I once had a strain called Snowbud that could handle almost 3000PPM! I've also had strains that show signs of over-feeding at 1200PPM. So which number is right? They both are...
Why is this so? Think about it for a second. Some plants ancestors originated in the rocky regions of Afghanistan (Kush region), where there are not much nutrients in the soil and overall it's pretty dry. Then there are Sativas that come from the tropical jungles of South America, Mexico and Thailand that have a lot of nutrients close to the surface and a wet humid climate. All these strains have adapted to their specific climate. I'm sure you all know about the whole Darwin thing...
So what should you set your PPM at? Start at 800PPM and go up from there. Or start at 2000 and go down from there. Either way you'll end up at the same place.
What do you look for? If the plants are light yellow then you need to up your PPM. If the plants are super dark green and the leaves are curling under then you need to drop the PPM.
Here is a old video of my room running 3000W of light and CO2. I was running 1750-1800 PPM and harvesting 20-27oz. every three weeks. If I had just ran Snowbud I could have run 2500PPM+ and harvested 2+lbs.

Notice the batch on the left are in the final stages of flush and ready to harvest. The center rack are the newest plants. Look at them and decide for yourself if they look healthy or not. The rack on the right is about 6 weeks into flower. Again look and decide if they look good or not. This is my classic receipt with nothing special added.

Good luck buddy!

Beautiful looking plants man. Looks like even with some years off of soil it all came right back to ya, lol! I think I'm gonna be rigging up some of my girls in soil just to flower them around my hydro tray. What kind of soil mix are you running on them?

I'm glad to hear you're interested in soil bro! You know I've never said a bad word about the different types of growing. They all have their pros and cons. If you don't have much space hydro is the way to go. Same thing if you live in an apartment building. You can walk around with a box that has nutrients inside and no one will notice but you can't walk around with a hundred pounds of soil! If you have a small walk-in closet then the StinkBud Aero/NFT system is best.
I started this batch with Fox Farm Ocean Forest mix and then put them in Subcool's Super Soil mix with a little more perlite added.
Soil recipe:
| Ingredients | Brand/ | Weight/size | price | Total price per batch |
| 8- Large bags of High quality Organic potting soil with a coco and Mycorrhizae | Happy Frog soil | 2 cubic feet | 16.95 (x | 135.60 |

Nice, how long did you let his mix "cook"?
Ya man I started in soil and still keep my moms in soil just for simplicity. I've loved hydro and have been planning a room with your setup for awhile now. Just waiting to change systems till I move and change rooms.

Are you saying I am wrong? SB said "Then there are Sativas that come from the tropical jungles of South America, Mexico and Thailand that have a lot of nutrients close to the surface and a wet humid climate".
I said that cannabis is only indigenous to Asia. Those who believe otherwise are not correct.

So columbian sativas didn't come from columbia, and mexicans didn't come from mexico? Do you have some sources for the mystical knowledge that no one in this community has ever heard before?

That's so nice of you to say bro! It's people like you that brought me back.
Many of you think of me as a teacher but I look at myself more as a never-ending student. I may show you what I'm doing at a certain time but if you notice, I'm always trying new (and old) things. The one rule that I always follow is KISS - Keep It Simple Stoner.
That's why it's important to have an open mind. Don't get set in your ways and be unwilling to change. Set yourself some realistic goals and then go for it.

Hate to be that guy in a great thread but im fairly sure the Spanish brought cannabis to the Americas and that it was not indigenous.
