We do all of our own construction, electrical and plumbing. Plans this year are to run an 800ppm test between DynaGro and Advanced.



that's a little too hot for the Dg ime.

I got browning and bad growth @ those levels. Possibly severe K deficiencies late in flower..... when I ran that high.

I've found that .5-.7 ec for veg and .8-1.1 ec for flower works reaaaaaally well. That's with purified water.

i've been working on getting a good ratio of bloom/gro/foliage pro for a while.....I think i'm close, for my setup anyway.

f&d 2x flood/day w/co2


either way...subbed up ;)

Have they gotten all the masonry work done yet? Great design by the way!
i'm fishing a tournament in los suenos (www.lsrm.com) (www.lstournaments.com). haven't been back to the farm in a week. i'll get n=some new pics up tomorrow of the progress. i'm pretty sure they are done with the vertical block construction. at this point they'll let it sure while building the forms for the poured roof. after that we'll do a wet cement layer and then paint the inside and exterior with dry lock extreme. the last thing we'll so it pour the floor. all of the tubing has been run already. we're just gonna do exposed wiring and boxes for the electrical.

thanks joe, i think the only way to really do a side by side grow is to run both nutes at the same ppm levels. homebrewer and uncle ben always say that dyna is a more compete nute. well id i run them against AN side by side at the same ppm levels then we'll see which plant comes out looking better. no additives or anything. thanks on the heads up though. maybe i'll start them around 500-600ppm and see how the handle that...push it up a little if everything stays green.

i'm 37 and a real estate developer by trade. most of the room is automated plus i have a full time helper. i'll be able to handle it. i have a 12,0000w room too that i don't post about that runs like a well oiled machine between the 2 guys who run it. i only go there once a week at most.

thanks for the compliments. hope you stick around.

why not Phil? you are above the law. and you steal power because the Costa Rica government hasn't the technology to trace the theft. And the police cannot enter any of your mansions. So why even mention it?
please read the rules for grow journals, no trolls and jealous bitches aloud.

and yes captain obvious...everyone knows my name is phil. it's not a secret you stumbled upon. i have about 50 pictures of myself on here as well. i'm not a puppet account troll like you.

here's another pic for ya...now piss off!

Hey scoob..thought i come by and check and see how the build is going..looks like its coming along nice.
When i seen pics of the dynagrow grow compared to the AN grow the only thing that ran through my mind is what is this dude doing to fuck up the AN grow.
Ive been using it for a long time now with stellar results until they changed formula to the PH perfect line.
Ive re ajusted to using it and now im back to stellar results.
I think the AN line is not designed to be a stand alone nute system.
Every plant ive ever known has different nutritional requirements for different stages of the plants life.
I think ANs base nutes are probably weaker than some other companys base nute systems.
The reason for this is it is designed to have the additives put into it to custom feed the plants according to the timing and needs of the plant.
These growers who use dynagrow and other nute systems seem to get OK results..but not the stellar results ive gotten from AN and its product line up.

Right now im doing a side by side with Zone in one res..and ANs mycos(pirahana and voo doo.
The voo doo is at two weeks started with ignitor.the other zone started with bud blood.
The bud blood will freak your plants out..i think AN has sent out some bad batch's of the stuff.I called and talked to ANs tech support and they told me bud blood is not designed to work with the PH perfect systems Sensi..or Connie. But will work with their other line ups.
The PH perfect system no longer calls for humics fulvic or seaweed juice,Just Nirvana.This makes the new system easier and cheaper to mix and run.
So far the voo doo juice side is at two weeks..the Zone side is at 5 weeks.
It is obvious that the voo doo juice/ pirahna is kicking the zone sides ass already.The stems are allot larger already at two weeks than the zone run is at 5 weeks..and the stalks and stems are still gaining size for another two weeks.
Knowing you are going to lose money ,production and quality in advance you are going to run a test with dyna and AN.Base nutes.Wow..
Please tell me you are going to do like a plant or so?It would freak me out to lose like ten grand on a whole run or more just to prove a point we already know the results of before we even start.
These guys can talk all the shit they want about AN..who cares,Most all of them who talk shit about AN have never even ran with it.
Its almost insane if you think about it.
Im throwing half again to twice as much as some of these guys are with their dyna grow.With not very productive strains.
These guys always talking about how expensive it is to run with.(Still waiting on that cost analysis you were going to do)
I say it pays for itself..easily pays for itself.Therefor it is cheap.
