I start out at 6-700 ppms and peak during week 6 at around 13-1400. Then I taper back down and will flush for the last 5-7 days. Last round I flushed with 25% nutrient mix and I could taste the difference, so I will flush with plain water this time.

:mrgreen:

I know man, I am so glad I didn't have to deal with the pm again. The pk looks much better this round.
Thanks man!!

OK, I am already tired of dealing with the re-veg thing again. So this is my plan. The OCD is revegged, but the pk is still growing spinach leaves. So here is what I am going to do. I am going to cut clones from the OCD that has revegged. Fill my 45 site aero cloner. Then in ten days when rooted, I am going to move somewhere between 16 to 20 clones per tray in one gallon smart pots with hydroton. Not a full blown SOG, but basically as many 1 gallons as I can arrange comfortably in my 4'x4' trays. Then a 7 days veg and flip them and let em' rip. 2000 watts of OCD. If I can get 40 grams per plant, I will be looking at 800 grams from 40 plants.
What do you think?
Oh, FYI. I can legally grow over 100 plants in my current co-op. I have a doctors recommendation to grow more than the SB420 guidlines alone( recomentation says 25-99 plants), but also have a co-op garden with 4 patients. The only reason I mention this, is to avoid the legal conversation and to dispell any thoughts of me getting busted.
So anyway, Since I have 10-14 days until my cuttings root, any conversation on my 40 plant Hydroton in smart pots plan would be cool. Share your opinions.

do you recommend hydroton?? I am soon going to be able to crank up the size of my operation and start running some hydro tables in addition to my soil. It seems like everyone who is having good results like yourself use some sort of hydroton mix..

i just finished a little DWC experiment and feel like I'll be changing to ebb and flow on subsequent runs.. have you done the DWC thing in the past?

If you want comparable results, I run dwc and the link in my sig is my journal of 6 grows. Both ways work great and have great results, it comes down to prefrence in the end.

the ak48 that i just cut down was grown in a little dwc bucket system. So far it hasn't been cured so I don't have the smoke to compare the soil grown herb to, but I have never seen this strain pack on so many trichomes. I could see myself growing hydro simply for hash production with this strain in the future.

You know it is one of the mediums I have yet to try, but as you say most growers using and ebb and flow with hydroton have good results. I just want to try it out, but I may try the hygromite in one tray and hydroton in the other. They are similar mediums so probably wouldn't be much difference. I haven't ran a dwc run yet, but have considered it.

That picture is what any hydro grower strives to achieve. I will be doing the ebb and flow until I perfect it. Then I am sure I will be trying something else. Oh I keep meaning to ask you, where did you get that ocsilating fan?
Wow, I just spent about an hour or so reading this thread and I am just simply amazed.
What an awesome set up! Can't wait to see the SOG :)
Thanks for the compliment man.

I actually got 3 of them for $20 each at Walmart. Now would be a good time to go check, they should be going on clearance any time. My buddy got the same ones on clearance for $10 each.

Very nice man, I still had my stickiest buds when I grew in 100% coco coir. What is funny is, I could see myself going back to the coco after all my experiments with other mediums. The only reason I changed, is that I wanted to recirc my reserviors and Coco Coir works best in drain to waste or run to waste, which ever you prefer to call it.

Sweet, thanks man. Is it a wall mounted fan or did you modify it to mount to the wall. I bought three at the hydro store and they are already having issues. I need to replace them with something better.

I've had mine for about a year and they still work fine. The are marrked on the box as wall mountable so they are easy to find. Just one screw for it though. They are pretty nich though because they are only 8" and they move a ton of air, I have to keep mine on low.

I will be checking walmart out tomorrow. Thanks again for the tip.

So I checked the trichomes tonight and the pk is starting to amber, so I will be starting the flush in next couple of days. The OCD trichs look milky with a few ambers, but they do look like could go a little longer than the pk. I will monitor over the next few days before I decide if I will harvest the pk before the ocd. Keep in mind last round I harvested both at 49 days. The pk wasn't my best, but the ocd was on spot. The pk buds are heavier than I have seen them, but they are starting to lean and bend over. I tied a couple up.
It is gonna be a busy week. I am harvesting an outdoor plant tomorrow, I just transfered the mango ( outdoor I harvested last week) to jars to cure, and I will be starting to harvest the indoor sometime next week. I did end up with 2lbs off of my mango which is my smallest outdoor plant, so I am optimistic about the rest. My goal outside was a lb per plant, so I am stoked on the early results.

Anyway, that mango has got me rambling so here are a couple pics of the pk/ocd.

Just wanted to comment on the sog Idea man. As far as I can see from watching so many grows here it doesnt matter about number of plants. It just depends on how much stretch after the flip and veg time. since you know your strain you already know what they will end up like after the flip so I think you can make a very good estimation on when to do so with a larger number of plants. Maybe 7 days or maybe you dont like the way things look at that point and maybe 10 or 11 is the time. One thing that I will say is that it seems like mediums that dry quickly and require more waterings tend to make things happen quicker or take integras setup for instance. He has very minimal veg time with dwc and very few plants and gets a shitload of screen coverage very fast. So changing mediums and styles at the same time could throw off you basis for judging things some. Just something to think about. I do know that I havent seen anything bad come out of any of your grows so this should be fun to watch. May the force be with you brother.

I am having issues with uploading pics recently, but here are a couple closer shots.

Thanks man, I appreciate you input. I am hoping that the hydroton will help them grow a little faster. I really like (Someguy's) results with mixing hydroton and rw croutons. I have a week to decide while the cuttings are rooting. That DTW does seem to be the method that always blows me away when I see the results.
