    Is Cali Still Flooded?

    Been a whileince I touched base here. This Fall has been nothing like last Fall in So Cal. While we did see some outdoor, we didn't see anything near what we saw last year. I'm now dealing with just one dispensary. They're quite large and carry 70+ strains at all times. The most they will pay...

    I never work in the bloom room at night. I spray with lights on, but right before they go out for the night.

    Kamie...Iwould try thr Connoiseur if I were you on at least a few plants. Then you can see if it is worth the very high cost. Veggin and Kamie...I do not use a PH pen since going on AN. I DO use a TDS pen and mix my nutes at 1000ppm. If you use the AN formulas your ppm will be very high (2000ish)

    I'm not too clear on the real difs between Big Bud and Kushie. I tried the Kushie, but ended up back on the BB. I start the BB day 1 of bloom and run it till the Overdrive. It looks like we're really in the same boat with regards to getting the Overdrive and Final timing right. I'm happy with...

    Those mixes look very similar to my first go around with AN. Only I used Cutting Edge 3 Part (also in a 1/1/1 porportion) every other day. I originally used your AN bloom booster choice and have stuck with it. If I could pick only one base and one additive, I'd use Connoiseur base and B-52. The...

    When the buds are ready to come out of the shack and off the stem, the real tricky part starts. This is where you can really fuck things up. Your best weapon now is the paper bag. While it is possible to go right into a turkey bag, it's playing with fire. Most people think the buds are drier...

    There's alot of bad info out there on drying and curing weed. In fact, no other aspect of growing is so contested. Which is odd because it's really not all that hard. I know we've touched on how we dry, but I don't know if we ever layed out the whole system. If I run out of time I may do this in...

    If you look at our "middle area" in the bloom room you will see that wee use 5 gal buckets for drainage where we have no drainage tray. The 6" Hugo Block is placed on top of some loose rockwool and perlite in a 2 gallon container. Another 2 gallon container, upsidedown, is placed inside a 5...

    Let us know how that NL turns out. A dispensary gave me some Atomic Northern Lights for Christmas. I had mentioned that NL is my old fav. Anyways, it wasn't that good. I have a feeling it wasn't real Dr Atomic NL. Kitty said his shit was pretty good and she knows her weed. Just another grower...

    The portables were the first AC's we installed. One is a single and one is a dual duct. Neither is filtered. They exhaust into the main warehouse. The exhaust from the main warehouse to outside is carbon filtered. I don't need to run ductless roof mount AC during winter. The 12,000 BTU portables...

    These 2 pics show most of the bloom room. Pic on the left is "tray 1", pic on the right is "center area" and "tray 2". Each area is lit by 4 - 1000 watt lights. There are 2 - 600 watt lights just out of frame on the right of second pic. This is the D-Bub pheno at 4 weeks. The 3 test plants we...

    I soak my blocks in nutrient solution. I have completed a couple runs with AN and have been very pleased. We ran a test with the Grotek line, as well. The Grotek outperformed the Cutting Edge, but wasn't even close to the AN. In fact, I stopped the test at 4 weeks and just went to AN. It was...

    StoneStare, I have never used a dual bulb. But, I have used MH and HPS in the bloom room together with very good results. I think you should give it a try. Please let us know how it works out and send some pics. Wolverine, 90 is the cooking and 25 is the full melt. One of our members is a big...

    Made ice water hash today for several hours. Managed to use up about 1/4 of the trim I've been saving. This is my second attempt at the ice water thing. My first attempt I did it exactly how Matt Rize shows on his You Tube video. One of our members very experienced in grading hash said it was as...

    I noticed the same thing. I've never seen weight put on so quick as with the Yellow Bottle Final. I've been playing with the timing a bit. If you apply too early certain strains will foxtail on you. The best time seems to be in concert with the flush. Any earlier and the plant can actually start...

    Closer to 80k when all was and and done. It's really not that much when you figure out how much all of our members save. Dispensary retail prices are around $350/oz. Our reimbursement changes with our running costs, but runs around $200/oz. Part of that cost is the loan payment. When the City...
