were all pup growers, but your more of a master grower then you give yourself credit forThanks man.. but im just a pup grower.. but always learning!
I love it man!... I think I've had more control using the Flora line than anything else we've used... very predictable ppms, and i does not alter my PH ( not using the Armor SI).. may try that the next round.Now that you have some time using GH, what are your thoughts so far?
Man.... I really appreciate the kind words, but MG is something you earn after 30 years of growing. Im only 2 1/2 years in of growing indoors. I have been a member on here since 2018 (I think).. and I sort through all the Bro Science, and whatnot. I've found that heeding the advise of those 30 year growers have helped me more than anything. Listen to those guys, they know what they're talking about. Very important... experiment. And I mean TRY to burn one up, TRY to recover one at 11PH that's reading 5.1.. label everything, take notes of everything you do. Look them back over before your next round and figure out why you failed in one aspect or another. Not gonna lie, this scale for one person is fucking time consuming.... most of it is done with research, experiments, buying the latest high dollar metering devices (which is a great help),... and being humble in what you do. I appreciate every one of you 36K or so peeps that's looked into our grow op. .... bottom line, sort through the bullshit, and listen to those old guys ... wait... Im an old guy. LOL.. but not with 30 years of experience.were all pup growers, but your more of a master grower then you give yourself credit for
I am with you man, the only regret I have is not using it sooner.I love it man!... I think I've had more control using the Flora line than anything else we've used... very predictable ppms, and i does not alter my PH ( not using the Armor SI).. may try that the next round.
yeah, but the info your dishing out may well be from a 30yr old grower, just the info youve taken on board about the amber trices could well be from a aged master for just one example, you dont give yourself enough credit. thats just from 21/2 years of growing, im wekl impressed i would have said by that, that you were a 10yr grower minimumMan....

Me too!I am with you man, the only regret I have is not using it sooner.
they are the market leaders for a reasonI am with you man, the only regret I have is not using it sooner.
Thanks man... humble, but proud of what we do at the same time.yeah, but the info your dishing out may well be from a 30yr old grower, just the info youve taken on board about the amber trices could well be from a aged master for just one example, you dont give yourself enough credit. thats just from 21/2 years of growing, im wekl impressed i would have said by that, that you were a 10yr grower minimum
So I do the first part of a 2 week min cure at 58-63% RH and when it reaches that I leave it jarred and use it. I open the jars every day to let it breath and admire the work I put in! I knew the longer it sat jarred, up to 6 months or so from what I've read, it will continue to cure. If I can do something better though I certainly want to!Also.. terpenes are preserved in the curing process. Slow it down as much as possible. 12-14 days day if you can. 65 degrees and 60%rh are a great start. Lower the RH after about a week to 55.. Monitor your moisture content with a wood probe. Get it down to about 11%, and jar it.. we use CureTubes.. but same concept.
With my outdoor garden I'm gonna need some of those CureTubes, those are awesome!!Also.. terpenes are preserved in the curing process.

Got any links I can read up on said wood probe I've never heard of before?
Might try that on our personal grow yield, but shit, we got room in the building for the slow cure.have either of you tried the cold curing method? you should put a jar of weed into the freezer and tryit, itpreserves tyhe flavour and terpines and produces a great smoke
They are fucking expensive!.. 1 unit is $265 delivered (4-6 lb model).. so I worked a deal with them to deliver a pallet of 36. It brought the price down to $125 a unit delivered. I sold the ones I really couldn't use for the size of our grow op, but I love them. I think we held on to 11. BUT!, they have a lid that you can use on a 5 gal bucket.... www.thecuretube.com.... but I would highly recommend the smaller 2-3lb unit for a smaller grow. I don't like curing in plastic. The Tubes have a special lining in them, and the outside is made of a high strength cardboard material of some sorts.wow, never seen those cure tubes b4, im going to try them ass my three month ciutre was done in brown paper shopping bags, paper or plastic sir, paper please young man. ill never forget that from my trip to the supermarket when i went to the us
GH is what I use and I did opt for the Armor Si this grow as the only other added nute to NPK and CalMag and Hydroguard. I notice more sturdiness and healthier stems for certain! They also became really resilient and more tolerant. Sounded great until I've realized I've been running my PPM too high because none of my 4 my plants were showing any signs of nutrient burn. I even stepped it up slowly over 3 weeks! Extremely minor tip burn on the leaves, but it never got any worse, until I got nitro claw. Tip burn never got any worse at all though. Flushed it for 24 hours and it's still leeching nutes into the water. But it's still not looking any worse or showing any stress other than the initial toxicity. Just lowering the PPM and balancing the PH until it starts taking up nutes again. Bigger PH swings in my DWC too when it uptakes the Armor Si. I also lessen my K I put in since it's 0-0-4 anyways.I am with you man, the only regret I have is not using it sooner.
Looking good man! Keep up the good work!GH is what I use and I did opt for the Armor Si this grow as the only other added nut to NPK and CalMag and Hydroguard. I notice more sturdiness and healthier stems for certain! They also become really resilient and more tolerant. Sounded great until I've realized I've been running my PPM too high because none of my 4 my plants simply weren't showing any signs of nutrient burn. I even stepped it up slowly over 3 weeks! Extremely minor tip burn, but it never got any worse, until when I got nitro claw. Tip burn never got any worse at all though. Flushed it for 24 hours and it's still leeching nutes and drinking water. But it's still not looking any worse or showing any stress other than the initial toxicity. Just lowering the PPM and balancing the PH until it statys taking up nutes again. Bigger PH swings in my DWC too when it uptakes the Armor Si. I also lessen my K I put in since it's 0-0-4 anyways.
BTW the leaves are turned up and not clawed because I'm neurotic like that and hoped they'd even out eventually! No such luck! Lol

I use Armor SI too. How high off ppm are you talking, my flower feed is about 1060 ppm.GH is what I use and I did opt for the Armor Si this grow as the only other added nute to NPK and CalMag and Hydroguard.
