This is inspiring.

I love how little inputs are needed, barely any at all.

And blumats are in my future for sure!

Yea I've been working on this mix for awhile now and I think I've finally got it where it needs to be. I'm always tweaking it a lil tho. Think I wanna lighten it up a lil more. Idk this cycle is kicking ass and taking names. Everyone has collapsed and tied up starting week 4 and now we still have 3 weeks left on some of them :)

I'm trying to source some top soil locally. That will give me a true mix that I want like Mother Nature intended.

We gotta remember this plant has been growing by Mother Nature for many many years without our help. Keep it simple and worry less is my best advice to new growers...

just found out general hydroponics sold out to scotts... im wondering if any of u know if they will change the nutrients?? i love my maxi and nova series nutes, i hate to give my money to scotts but im not changing nutrients unless they change them...i have 2 tubs of each left, so in about 4 months ill be ordering again and i plan on calling to find out if they are changing ingredients or anything.. i dont know what i would switch to,,,i spent years doing side by side testing of nutrients and do NOT want to start over..in my tests plant life 3 part came in second place but it costs twice as much as maxi,,fox farm came in 3rd but again costs more...i also liked the BC nutes but were hard to get the ph stable with my water...im lost...

I'm with ya. I found this out a month or so ago and am hoping they don't change anything. I think they will keep it the same since it's not broke. Also, if they change things, they will lose customers who have it dialed in for ages, so it wouldn't make sense to change it

I'd pick dyna gro over jacks all day. Jacks is some nasty stuff.

Dyna gro is what I first started using.

if I go back soiless or hydro i would use dyna gro the been leaf polish I good so is the silca in protekt and the veg and flower base are pretty complete as far as one part nutrients go :) simple and effective ✌

Thanks brother! So far there is a blue lemon thai, fruity chronic juice, 2 headbangers, chemalope and a gg4 og cross in day 2 of flower. I had 10 gg4 clones vegged to 15" but they just weren't good enough to flower so I threw them out and have 10 small gg4 clones I've been training since day 1 that should veg out much better, those will go in the flood buckets with smart pots. I'm growing in all foreign stuff to me at the moment so it's a learning curve. Giving Rockwool croutons and smart pots a try. I pretty much always grow in mediumless hydro and just feed the roots, so it's a different ball game having to water by hand for now. I really want blumats if I keep growing this way :) QUOTE="a senile fungus, post: 11596791, member: 874491"]Congratulations, and I'm looking forward to seeing what you get going in there![/QUOTE]

I'm gonna use some Dyna gro and promix as a sort of control for my organics. I want to run the same strains in each, and note differences between them.

I have nothing to compare my organics to. It'll give me a way to compare the same strain with diff nutes and medium.

What do you guys think?
Click to expand...
that sounds like a good side by side test
I'm gonna do that myself soon last run I did some advanced vs organics the organics were more potent and tastier the advanced grown was frostier and had a stronger head high but not a long lasting body stone like the organics did

I want to also do a GH vs organics run, and a dyna gro vs organics run as well see what suits me best besides super soil mixing cuz thats my favorite amend re use soil add water only with compost tea to supplement and top dressing around day 30 of flower :) ✌

thanks for your comment,
no is not my soil is peat moss + vermiculite + perlite + bat guano + mineral magic mix

i am placement yesterday aluminum foil on there to prevent drying of the soil
i am see yellow areas before that (almost 1 week ago)
and yes i am spraying on the plants with pure water 130ppm (started two days ago)

I switched light period to 18/6 on the night, week #4 day one :)
Does that create problems later the yellow spots ?
disease or nutrient deficiency or excess can be ?

sorry for my english, thanks again

Also VoxOx, get rid of the aluminium foil on top of your soil. That could be reflecting light to the underside of your leaves. Aluminium is not a great reflective material to use. Not sure the science behind it, but it will probably create heat spots (may be the cause of the light burns on your leaves.

yeah man in early grows I did as a teen I used foil for reflective material removed soon as I discovered the lil spots or burned through my leaves like lasers haha

everyone gotta start somewhere right? good luck brother hope you figure out your issue with the yellow spots !✌

but sometimes 32-33 degree temperature perhaps yellow dots can be formed to protect them from hot, I've read such an article about that

I would still get rid of the foil
And I have never seen yellow spots on cannabis plants that any gardener welcomed.

So been thinking about getting some new beans, been growing this 8ball kush for a while now.

Was looking around what was in stock and I narrowed my choices to two strains, both from Cali Connection. Either Deadhead OG, or 818 Headband.

Curious to see if anyone has experience with either of these strains, and possibly could help me out in my decision.

Well while I was researching the two strains I asked about in my above post, it doesn't sound like Cali Connection would be a great company to support. Hearing a lot more bag things then I am good.
