Love this thread..I started hydro growing in 1981 with a simple top water set up..used very course vermiculite and found it working nicely..it was wet but always let it nearly dry before a rewatering..It grew plants!!...shortly evolved to wick set up, then Hempy...We grew that way but the hempy...

I realize this is an ancient thread but posting this because after close to 37 yrs of hydro growing, I am going back to a modified hempy...I have evolved over the decades using drips, ebb and flow, rockwool, Dwc, and all of it turned into a system I call an swc (shallow water culture)...same as...

Maybe I am just old school but I been doing cuttings the same way since the beginning....I typically only need 12-30 cutting depending on what I am running and how I want to do that crop...But in an event, 36 cuttings can fit under a 4ft flourescent fixture...I simple us 8 oz styro coffee cups...

Gues RIU still having picture issues....I was gonna up date the last post with the associated picture of my single Delicious Candy plant...It got trimmed up earlier and yielded 121 gms...its was prunned to 6 tops and was approx. 35 inches tall average...I have 12 plants in a 4ft by 5ft...

Bottom nug of Delicious Candy finished and properly dried...I see they RIU is having imave issues but maybe it will show when the issue is fixed...Very frosty, oily, resinous buds...HEAVY for their size (average)...It does get a lot of budding sites, so it will probably yield well (trimming...

2 nights prior to harvest...half way thru it last 'day cycle', then 36 hrs total darkness...nugs are getting some real pretty colors...nute withholding at the end brings out the best in a nug...got the yellowing just reaching the tops (perfect), and phosphorus deficiency brings out any purple...

1 more full cycle after tonight and my Delicious Candy plant will get chopped down...Withholding of nutes (phosphorus in this case), has made them get some purples in them....very pretty!!!....8 weeks with a 36 hr period of total darkness just prior to chop....smoked an early sample (5 days...

Both the IB plants that made the cut were harvested yesterday..In my hydro system, they went 7 weeks and 4 days...just a splattering of beige trichs..nothing a full amber...Iike pulling mine at the 1st sign of trich color change...There was one VERY short pheno which.I never grew out...way too...

That cotton candy has some pretty colors...ppl in general say that it is better than the Delicious Candy...I got a freebee Del.Candy and so far, it seems to look Pretty good compared to other pics I have seen of it...sometimes you get lucky...this picture was at 6 weeks and 4 days into switch so...

My Delicious Candy under natural lighting for a better view than the washed out Orange Hue from the HPS light...this taken at 6 weeks and 2 days into flower..I do expect this to finish by 8 weeks but you never know till u get there...it has over 75% brown pistils now, so within the next week I...

Pic of my Delicious Candy at exactly 6 weeks of flower...REALLY is looking super!!! Hope she smokes as good as she looks...getting dense main tops too..appears like it will yield decent...the resin content will certainly add weight..LARGE trichs and still a cpl weeks to go...Y.T.

Cpl I.B. nugs at day 40 of flip....Very dense, very resinous, very sweet with a slight skunk smell...I expect the skunk genes will make it much stronger of an odor as the resins continue to ripen...LOTS of golfball size nugs on the main stalks below the main colas and also the higher secondary...

Other 3 strains in the mix...Incredible Bulk, White Widow extrm and California Dream....in that order from top pic to bottom pic...all at 39 days into flower at time of pics

This is the first seed from them I ever had..freebee with another Herbie's order...never grew it or smoked it, so I HAD TO grow it out, if anything, out of curiosity..I have heard mixed opinions, so I assume it like aquiring any other seed...Sometimes its your turn to get the good one...

Here is a cpl of nug pics from my Delicious Candy...its now 38 days into flip....So far it appears as if it will ripen in 8 weeks...the maturity at this point suggests this plant (only one I have) will be on the early side of the flowering window...Extemely resinous, and starting to get some...

I been growing for 36 yrs this February and Still cant pull those yeilds..even when I used dual 1000wHPS systems...over a 4ft by 6ft..now just doing a 1k over a 4ft by 5ft...I still habe NEVER SEEN a plant capable.of those yields but if they exist, someone got REAL LUCKY...pic of mine 5 weeks...

No journals...I do Happily share anything I have done and learned since my hydro beginning in 1981....I purchased the IB out of curiosity and dont see any of my 3 producing and 'boxing glove' size buds....they will indeed be dense and have decent yields, but based on flowering characteristic of...

LOL....That took the wind out of my sail momentarily when I compared what mine are doing compared to these insane yields...I bought it HOPING to find a high yielder but these wont do ANYTHING CLOSE to those kinds of yields...I been growing for 35yrs and am VERY CONFIDENT I can pull the best out...

I have 3 IB which are 30 days into flower...1 is the short pheno which never even doubled in size..the other 2 are 3x and very fast veg plants to boot...I dont see any of these that would yield any better than a good average yield (at this point)....those of you who have experienced high yields...
