I hear you on the control aspect, I know how it is to want everything perfect, it's ok Mind and it'll be ok.
No problem Mind always here to try to help out, that sucks that your AC is crappin' on you man.
I use Foxfarm, both tri-packs. Also thinking of adding some Humboldt to the mix when I get some extra cash. I've gotten great results with just the base tri pack from FF, but when you add the solulable tri pack too it works wonders. Also Humboldt products added w/ a FF regiment works well too.
So now for my question for you, I've gotten hydro before but not in awhile. I usually re-up with my soil grower friends. Anyway this bud came from elsewhere and is spongey, the stems snap but the bud itself is spongey. Like you can compress the hell out of it, leave it somewhere and it expands back out again, like a sponge lol. I think the strain is either diesel or trainwreck. It's pretty killer smoke, the flavor/smell is a little watered down, very little but eh. My question is, does hydro usually get that way? I mean I've had hydro before but it was extra crispy so it crumbled and shit, but this is spongey?
