What did you make?
I'm going to be tinkering soon. Gonna do one more indoor crop while temps are cool and heat from HID is welcome.
But I've gotta bite the bullet and build a decent LED rig. Maybe run mixed for a while?
I switched from HPS to cobs a couple years ago and started out with 4 x Vero 29C cobs @ 100W over each tray. Then went to 6 cobs per tray, now I just put 8 over a tray. Each time, reducing the wattage and increasing the efficiency. Its fun to try to keep yields the same using less and less wattage. The 8 cobs now only push 390 watts over a 3 x 3 tray. I usually get around 500g per tray so will be interesting to see if I can keep hitting that with only 390 watts.

1.28 grams per watt per meter squared with essentially zero veg time is hugely respectable, especially with repeatable consistency. I wish you the best of luck; Do it!

I love RDWC.
12/12 from clone/seed, various chucks and keepers, about four weeks in.
Peace, lovers.
P.S. two of these plants had root rot before moving into the flower tent. The two big ones. If you have Pythium in RDWC, continuous ~2ppm-8ppm of chlorine for about 8 days will stop the reproduction of it. If you have Fusarium you are fucked, but it is worth trying if you cannot identify the pathogen within certain bounds of understanding.
I know Pythium spp. and Cyanobacteria spp. by their smell and tactile feel, respectively, within a useful degree of certainty. Freshwater fish keeping (aquariums) definitely helped me with that.
I have no experience with Fusarium but have learned that one is probably best off disassembling, bleaching, drying and re-assembling one’s entire system to have any hope of eradicating it.

Sodium hypochlorite can be a good friend in small doses, just like that squirrelly jackass you went to high school with.

10ppm of bleach seems phytotoxic to certain strains and unestablished root systems. Some strains may be more sensitive, #ymmv. Get a colorimeter if you want to get serious about it. Beneficial bacteria works too, but Fusarium and other pathogens can still kick your ass. I am on the fence about H2O2, personally. I prefer bleaaaach!

Attention,
There will be a few members receive packs of "Ghost Gorilla''s in the mail this coming week. They will be mailed out Monday, I was told straight from the "Nameless One" himself.
That is gonna be fire!!! Something to keep me busy until the s1's come out.
I was lucky enough to win some of the last bastards.
I believe I am on this list . I vow to keep weekly updates until the northeast outdoor when things will get real exciting.
This Will only be my third outdoor run ever.
I have a few coco indoor runs using gt21 flora series. I made crop king look good. I can't wait to give these a shot!
Cheers to the man in the shadows!!

I don’t think heisen ever said Gu ripped people off, except when we (the forum community) didn’t know what was up with the bunk S1 thing at GPS. A lot of shit was said in haste over the last year or more... but I think you might see different writing on the wall than I.

Do you want to be forever held accountable for everything you ever posted on the internet? I don’t. If I was a better person, maybe. Big maybe. Ever made a shitpost? I know I have. Maybe I am deluded, so I remain willing to consider the possibility this is all bullshit. Convince me, or don’t, but I invite the debate. I don’t think anything is fucked, but some stuff smells a bit funky. I have faith in Heisen to pull off the production side of things and start slangin’ some badass genes, all without murdering babies or whatever the hell the peanut gallery thinks will happen because GPS and Heisen are both capable of acting like grownups. Are there not worse, more directly fixable problems in our individual lives?

Does this question/topic warrant attention, or am I acting out a ritual of compensating for external shame and bigotry as a result of trauma? A definitive answer exists, it really does; Who gives a fuck? That’s the answer.

We are making amazing genetics more available to regular folks. Nothing crazy, creepy or worth note beyond that, at least for now.

...just kidding about the last bit, let the thread content flow.
This is poetry.

A little late for the subject but someone might find the info useful. When cloning, it's always best to use a cloner if possible so you can see if the cut calloused. When using peat cubes or straight into soil they will root and can definitely grow into a healthy plant but you have no way to check if the cut calloused fully. If it didn't fully callous, that clone will be a beacon for pests and pathogens, even if its fully rooted and healthy.
