Distilled is the same as RO.

How do you get distilled water,
carry it?

How big is your rez?

It might pay off big
to invest in an RO machine
for $100-$190 on ebay.

Show me your grow.

yea grab 1 gal jugs from the store. and yea shit was pretty costly.
using a 18 gal rez. 5 inch net pots.. fuck it heres pics..... Plants are 2 weeks old.


This is my lucky 3 leaf clover style! 3 set of leaves instead of 2.


ok now that thats out of the way.

this is the set up dont worry bout the potted plants.


these are the nutes


Roots & Res only pruned 3 times should have done it earlier and more often.






If someone else is using Technaflora nutes with an HPS there can be a side log.

so what do you say?:hump:

Earl!! What up!

No more AN nutes allowed in the Nutrient Challenge?!! Poo!! :cry:

Maybe I can try something new... like a mostly-organic mix, but definitely count me in if you still need some "Test-Pilots." I wasn't planning to start my next grow til this winter anyways... so this would be perfect!

Check out this nute-cocktail and let me know if it would be cool to run with... or if I'd need to go out and get some new brew. (cuz I will 8))

Advanced Nutrients: Micro, Bloom, Barricade, Voodoo Juice, Carbo Load, Big Bud
Botanicare: Liquid Karma, CalMag+
Fulmag: Fulvic Acid


By the way... GREAT idea man, and thanks for sharing the fruits of your labor with whoever can participate in this challenge. I don't know how stable this plant will be, Purple Cindy had some distinct pheno variations, but there are some fantastic genetics in those beans of yours. I'm so curious to see what characteristics they picked up from their parents. How about... the taste and smell (and size) of purple cindy with the frostiness and kick-you-in-the-face buzz from the white widow... mmmmmm. Either way, I look forward to participating should I be accepted into the challenge.

Here are the specs for my setup and a photo:

Cabinet - 3.5' X 2' X 6' lined with mylar.
Light - 400W Agromax HPS (could get a new bulb and ballast for the challenge)
Res - 14 Gallon Rubbermaid
Water - RO
Miscellaneous - Cooltube, Squirl Fan, 2 Mini-Fans, Humidifier, Milwaukee PH and TDS meters.

OK
I am going to modify the rules.

Any method of hydro is OK,
as long as you are using hydro nutes and RO
or water under 70ppm

We have 8 growers at this time,
and I will allow a few more than the original 10,
first let me count the seeds,
and make sure I have enough for everyone.

I would like to have some hempy buckets also.

Remember, you must be willing to trade,
some finished product with me,
and at least some of the others,
so we can do subjective analysis,
of the taste and buzz.

We'll workout all these things
as the grows progress in the spring of 09.

You still need to post your qualifier picture,
and hopefully you will have a grow journal completed by DEC,
if you don't have one already.

experienced growers,
and those who follow the qualifier requirements,
will go to the top of the list.

I am going to open this up,
to any type of hydro grow.

These rules still apply.

You must have different hydro nutes,
unless there is only one grower using your brand.

In other words, there can be two growers
using the same nutes,
but only two,
unless they have very different additives.

And I don't mean sensizym vs hygrozym,

I mean they have to use totally different additives,
or no additives at all,
to qualify as a third user of the same nutes.

So, follow the instructions
like everyone else has done,
and remember that:

You must use RO
You must use hydro nutes
you must show your grow
and
you will be required to share your finished product.
If you cannot do this because you are paranoid,
I understand, and just ask that you do not enter this challenge.


Here is a list of the current challengers

Genfranco

Floridagirl

onsolomansgrave

roulette

smoove

pigpen

Lemonhead

Johnnypotseed

Rebeldawg

maddog

muahdib.

Hairypotter

Is that every body so far?

If I left you out,
I guess you'll let me know.

And I know a bunch of you
are going to think it is funny
to say I left you out,
but if I catch you doing that
I will ignore you,
and you don't want that.

There is time for more to get in,
follow the entry rules, and let's grow!

How many can we get to grow this strain,
before I run out of these seeds.

I guess I better start counting them.

I'm in no position to compete, but I will be watching this thread very closely as I am a DWC guy.

So I guess we should be expecting categories, e.g., best dwc, custom, all-around, etc.

Maybe you should get CFL growers to take part and have a separate category for them as well? (Not trying to jack your idea, but if you're going to allow all hydro setups you might as well try to get CFL results also)
