Hey illegal smile... So, the guy i learned from had this strain. He got it from a few clones from a friend of his. And I got my clones from my buddy (that i lived with and learned form).. So, I'm not at all sure where the seeds came from. But, I KNEW the genetics were spectacular from having lived with my buddy and growing this strain with him while living there. I don't see him very often any more, but the next time I do, I will ask if he knows where the strain originated.

And I hear ya on harvesting too soon. I will not make that mistake, but thank you very much for re-iterating that excellent advice (listen to what he has to say here people, he's correct!). Like you said, a lot of people do harvest too soon. I think that it gets hard to for people to wait, and they figure "close enough." Which is so untrue... No such thing as close enough. Anyways, I do understand what to look for in the trichomes before harvesting at the correct time. adding to what you said, I also like to see about 75% red hairs to 25% white hairs as well. That is also a good indicator. But trichome colors are the best indicator of ripe pot!!! :-)

Thanks for checking out my grow. I believe I will do even better on my next one.... Well, I am going to try hard, anyways. heheh.

Take it easy man!

"I believe I will do better on the next one..."listen to this fuggin guy ova here..HAHAHA:lol:

You killed it on this one dude! Killed It! I agree on the co2 addition though...thats a must and won't jack up your utilites.

Best thing about this grow I think is how straight forward you were with the dwc and the nutes. You didnt throw everything in the kitchen cupboard in there. just basic nutes and superthrive/ cal/mag. SIMPLE. Awesome! you should be sponsered by gen hydroponics to show you don't need the high dollar nutes to grow the dank.

Keep it up Homes!

hahaha....lol... Ok everyone, I really didn't mean to sound as cocky as that does sound now that I read it. heheh. I just meant that with the addition of lollipoping, co2, and a couple other possible ideas, the whole grow will go better than this one. Honestly, I couldn't be more happier than I am. This crop turned out better than I could have hoped.

Also, thank you for mentioning the "simple" aspect. For anyone who's read my post on how I build my DWC reservoirs, or how I use my nutes and additives, then you know that I LOVE simple... :-) To me simple is good, as long as you can acheive good results from what you are doing, of course.

Good to see you stopping by, jflo! Thanks.

Just saying hi, nice work, we're all here still watching. That white rhino looks good to grow, hope that smoke hits hard, is it known as a heavy yielder?
Click to expand...
Yes, it is definitely a good yielder...I'd say medium dense, and thick buds. I don't know if it is actually known as a big yielder or not, but I am happy with the results.

I can tell you this. It is one of the most potent, if not THE MOST potent strains I have ever smoked. For some people, it's almost too powerful, if there is such a thing...lol. Seriously though, I do have a couple buddies that can't do more than a bong hit or two at the most and they're flyin... Any more than that, and they say it's just too much. and these guys are experienced stoners, heheh. :-)

Hell, who am I trying to kid, 2 bong hits and I'm plenty ripped enough myself...ha.

Dood the rhino messes me up too, 2 or 3 hits and im feeling the effects for most of the day. Super distinctive smell aswell, i know when i pick up some rhino!

My mate had white rhino dung for a banana plant, mmmm imagine white rhino skunk grown in white rhino dung. That shits gonna stink!!!!

my last post might have sounded a bit preachy so i wana say well done on the monster nugs and big up the simplicity!

dood you aint a rolemodel your a growmodel....

Hate to be a secret admirer here....but first off dimebag is the king. Your grow was well read and informative....ive killed many bowls reading up on this one. Good job man!

So I got 2 gods gift that just went into flower.
Vegg'ed for 8 weeks and the stalks are like flippin broomsticks....in 5 gal DWC similar to you I have a digital 600w HPS with the EYE. I have been using the GH formula at about 2/3 strength to about 1200-1400 ppm I also use a bit of epsom and just a bit of grandma engys....(she just looked like she know what was happening) Im just curious what Im gonna harvest here....I have it tied to a screen and its canopy in like 50 tops of excelence covering 4x3 and measuring 30 inches at the moment....I have my cooltube about 18 inches off the tops...going to experiment with the height as heat isnt a concern..

First grow. here we go party time......

....I will be updating my post soon.....lost the stupid cable for the camera...waiting for a new one.

Any insight appreciated.....

so....I hate to beat a dead horse and know you just harvested.....but im pretty sure mine will be relatively similar...with respect to size and light...... How close did you get to your harvest goal? Do you think?

Hello Drips,

first off, hell yes! Dime was definitely the KING of metal!!! I still can't believe he's gone sometimes...such a tragedy, and a waste...

Well, it sounds like you have a pretty kick ass grow going there, man!!! When you get your new camera, go ahead and post some pics here if you want, I won't mind... Or stick a link here if you have one.. I'd definitely like to check it out.

I still haven't harvested yet. I'm so damn close, but still waiting patiently. I think a day maybe 2 more and I'm there!!! We'll see. :-) I will doing a finally posting here with pics, a smoke report, and a final tally on total weight harvested. So, keep an eye out, brutha. I'm glad to hear you've been diggin this thread!!!

Hello and thanks for stopping by...

Well, I can suggest a couple techniques for you: LST for topping. I'd say just google either techniques and do a little reading. It'll probably be better explained that way.

I don't really use any techniques. My plants just seem to grow in to big bushes. It's genetics I suppose. :-)

I will say this; basically topping involves "cutting" or "topping" the main growing shoot. But, when you cut it, it stresses out the plant a bit. So, instead of cutting it off, just carefully fold it over until it is facing down, and tie it off like that . This will force the nodes below to become new tops, or main growing shoots (the one you bent over will also start to grow up towards the light again, of course). As the new tops grow, you can do it again... Hell, you can do it as many times as you want until you have as many "tops" as you want. :-) I do use this technique occasionally, and it works great! But if I do, I only tie off the one main growing shoot, and leave it at that..

Well, we finally harvested our first plant of the crop...

I don't feel like putting up a bunch of pics tonight, but here's a couple of teasers. A big ass bud, and my brother (the goalie, heheh) holding it...

More pics to come....of course!! :-)

How is it you don't have root rot problems? I'm just now trying dwc and I can only seem to get so far into veg then root rot and sickness follow. I see you keep your room temps 60 lights off and 75 lights on, is that all you don't have any issues that require hygrozyme or similar? Maybe my issue is my nutrients they are botanicare pure blend pro and it says it's organic based. It says ok for soil or hydro but maybe it's not suitable for dwc?

The only other thing that's different for me is 1kw bulbs. I do notice the 1k heats up the side of the tub even though the temp in the room isn't bad. Other folks using 1k's and tubs like this do use heat shields so I plan to add that, and I'm working on finding a chiller to go rdwc but until I get a chiller I can't add the heat of a pump.

Yeah man, i've never had a root rot problem...knock on wood..and hope I never will... And to answer your question; No, I don't use any sort of additives designed for controlling root rot like hygrozyme, h2o2, etc...

I think you hit the nail on the head dude. I think it's your organic nutes... I've read so many posts about root rot, and a LOT of it was because of organic nutes in a hydro system. I know they make organic nutes specifically for hydro, but i am NOT a fan of these products, and will never support them. I am a huge fan and supporter of General Hydroponics nutes...

Also, do you know what your reservoir temps are? If the nutrient solution gets too hot (above 75 degrees), this can also trigger root rot to happen. So, high res temps coupled with organic nutes sounds like it equals root rot... I'm sorry to hear that you're having that problem. I really do hope you're able to clear it up. If you can get pass this, I think you will become a big fan of DWC...

For the record I use General Hydro nutes (flora micro and flora bloom only, in conjunction with the lucas formula), super thrive during veg, and epsom salt during flower. That's it and that's all... And this seems to produce some good quality smoke!! :-)

hahah... I wish they were all that big on the same plant... but alas, that was the only huge one. the rest are normal size. This plant was the "runt" of my garden. I had problems with it all the way through the grow, and it just did not take to flowering. That happens some times... it was just a weak plant.

I learned a VERY big lesson with this plant as well. Even if you run a 400 watt bulb, if you put it in a small reflector (or hood, which is what I use), then the size of the plant will also be effected. I 3 different sizes of hood in my flower room. 2 very large, one medium and one small. You can definitely see a difference in bud production under different sized hoods.

Now, my 2 huge plants both have like 4 or 5 colas as big if not bigger than this one... In fact, I'll say bigger. Just friggin huge. I can't wait to get to them. They're still not quite ready yet though...

:-) See ya'll soon..

Thanks man. I'm not giving up I've seen the great growth up to a point anyway. I was just trying to experiment with what I had on hand and make my mistakes now vs later. I have new nutes on the way anyway.

I thought I might get away with it because my dwc cloner doesn't breed funk even when I ignore it too long I've never had one problem in months and I was using these same nutes.

But the cloner never heats up the water period and the flower room does occasionally at least so that must be it. Bad combo.
