Hey Captain, I am growing a GG#4 in a hempy bucket, should I match tour ppm in a straight hydro set up? just perolite and vermiculite in the bucket, sure good to have the heads up on the nutes,, thanks
Yea,1 week of growth since setting the screen.



Thanks,I like to keep temps down so I mount the drivers on a board and have them outside the tent.



I like to keep my temps 80 or less at the canopy. The strains I grow have quite a broad Cannabinoid and Terpene profile and I believe the lower temps help keep them,especially the Terpenes. Yes you can raise temps and even add CO2 and raise them more to increase transpiration to increase yield but I think you sacrifice quality to do so. If you try to force feed a plant you can end up with problems,at 550 ppm GG#4 gets what she needs and can give me in the 2 GPW range. In heavy flower she can drink 1 1/2 gals or more a day with my lower temps. I suspect I could feed her less and if I feed her any higher she gets burnt leaf tips. Because of the wick nature of my set up I get a build up of excess nutes in the soil sleeve. When it's time to flush if I were to water from the top my ppms in the res would jump probably 4 times the ppm levels or more. That's why when I flush I'll put 3 gals from the top and pump the res dry then fill the res with RO water and give it only RO water till the end.
 
Nice work captain, can I ask how big is that tent and what your best guess at the expected yield of this grow?

edit... just seen 3x3 tent

@captainmorgan Looks good. I was worried my gg4 is looking small. Mine is day 49 today and about the same size as yours. I'm using the pvc in the pic as a frame of reference for size.

Does it start chunking up much more these last 2-3 weeks or...?

It just barely started to fox tail too. So probably growing a little slower than yours. I'm running straight 12/12 under the inda gros.

I don't have each batch separate , no tents. Not able to mess with lighting schedule via 730's.

Just got some cuts of GG#4, they're in the aerocloner now. They brought some spidermites with them, so they're getting their very own shower of pyrethrins every few days... >:(

Based on your recommendation, I'm thinking seriously about running them monocrop style so I can better tailor the nutrient strength to their preference.

Do you @captainmorgan or anyone have any suggestions about how the plant's need for nutrients changes when going from HID to COB LED? Do they like their sauce stronger, weaker or leave it the same?
