The Seed Collectors Thread

Hey Batman....

Never ran the Lucas Formula per se'. But Ive run tons of GH. GH has its good points and bad points. Good is its super easy to dial in and gives excellent results. Bad is you can never ever ever flush the taste of GH outta the buds fully. I know a lot of folks who have run the Lucas formula but not me casue I dont like GH....

Jkahn I'm sure if I look hard enough I'll find people who don't care for Botanicare, Foxfarm, GH..etc. Everybody has their own opinion on what's right and what's wrong. I have found a huge amount of information leading me to believe that the GH line is fantastic, and works well. But I'll never really know for sure until I try it and that's exactly what I'm going to do. My number one priority is making sure my plants have the nutrients have need accessible to them to ensure healthy rapid growth leading to maximizing yield. I've heard people talking about flushing in excess or other methods like starving the plant till the end, or just plain using an organic regiment only.. all things designed to ensure the final product was the best tasting and best smelling weed they could produce. In all honesty I truly believe that no matter if I use foxfarm, or botanicare, or GH... I honestly don't think the final result is going to effect taste & smell. I think people knock methods they do not use to either show or highlight their own expertise.. or to provide an easy answer to saying "my ways the best way.. that way is wrong." I've heard video broadcasts from respected growers/breeders saying the Lucas method works very well. I definitely will not let a comment made by MoonshineMan effect my decision to give it a go. The evidence that suggests Lucas using GH Nutes is plentiful and all over the Internet just like there's evidence that Foxfarm, GH, Canna, Humboldts Own.. all work fine. So I'll be the ginnea pig for our group. I'm debating on doing a side by side.. but that might be too much of a Hassle. I have in my possession Botanicare, Foxfarm, and GH Nutes. I'll give it a go and let you know how it works out. The first sign that I do not like the product, I will discontinue it's use and go back to Botanicare. Botanicare works well but I had some varied results with different strains (the picky ones) getting burn and deficientcies... BANDANA for an example... I had a real hard time getting that one dialed in. So we'll see what happens. I'll never know for sure till I give it a try.
 
I would love to see a side by side personally ;)

I have used 3 different nutrient companies now. BC/AN/BIO-CA to me all had a very very distinct taste in the burned product. besides the bio canna (with out any flushing the BC and AN were un-smokeable the Bio-canna was the tastiest smoothest smoke I have ever had..(with out flushing at all).. I now use the Bio-Canna mixture on my plants that I keep for myself and for another patient that wants "taste over yield"...everyone else get the AN mix seeing as they only care about weight. I'm interested to see your finding BAtMan~!
 
Ive had great success running the "soul synthetics" line from Aurora! Seriously I was skeptical at first, but been a year of solid results.
 
Batman, the green crack x burger bud I'm running now is finicky also. Its a fine line (in flower) between n tox and n def, just can't get em perfect, even barely changine the nute strength..... gh is clean, high grade nutes. And if you are in a learning mood, I would read everything lucas has ever written. He's brilliant. I spent many hours reading lucas posts. He goes 3 full grows without changing his res, with his addback formula. ..... I would also try gh lucas formula if I ever tried anything other than botanicare
 
LoL.....
Dude Bman... My Bad... I was in a Rush cuz im at work so i didnt add my usual Sarcastic... "LoL" at the end..... Or similiar...
Didnt mean for you to haftoo write that Novel under false pretenses...LoL

I actually Made two Solo Cup Hempy's last night as an Experiment... (my solo cup comp wasnt that great.. gonna practice)
I used my own gear that i was germ testin that are now seedlings...... One WhiteWidow x Alien Fire, and One Alien Fire F2....
And i also wanted to try out the Lucas Formula... But Right now there on PureBlend OG.....

i think i am going to try this one product that Alien uses.. (yes ppl Alien)...

Bandanna was the only plant that ever gave me problems in that batch of mix i was using... And i put a few diff. "strains" through it....
 
I almost forgot....
AUCTION CLEAROUT SALE MADNESS!!!

We have decided to list the Heaven Scent Pharms gear this coming week but were hoping Gene would have made an appearance to fill in the strain descriptions first as doc bob mistakenly listed them last week without descriptions..

we have been mega busy during the past week due to building and electrical work being carried out at dankHQ but, it should be completed this week which will allow us the time to clear out all old stocks in our safe...

There should be quite a few listings from SOG, GENE, SONIC etc this coming week, its clearout time....

some strains will have limited descriptions as this is a clearout sale... but we will only list strains that have trhreads detailing previous grows or tests of them..

regards

lol. & now for novel part 2... I didn't know if you were being sarcastic or not.. but regardless I wanted to get it out there how I feel about these "experts" and their preaching of methods and leave an example of how stubborn I am. If Subcool, DrawOH, TheNewGuy, or Bodhi himself all whom I really do respect as experts in the field were telling me not to use my current medium or that I was doing something all wrong.. or to switch to a different nutrient or additive... I still probably would not listen. I do what I see works for me, enjoy experimenting to learn things first hand.. and rarely listen to anyone anyways.. so moral to the story is.. doesn't matter what anyone tells me.. I'm gonna go with the Lucas method using Flora Micro and Bloom, Liquid KB with Ocean Forest soil and try to keep things as simple as possible. I plan on adding a humic acid additive and Botanicare sweet during the transition phase and into Bloom. I top dress with a Jamaican guano/earthworm casting mix at the beginning of bloom... this to me is as simple as the KISS method still while ensuring success. My thumb is pretty green and I'm gonna pull ounces off of each plant this run. I promise you that. My only concern at all is getting Bandanna dialed in. She's a picky little bitch and I will probably adjust the feed for her exclusively this run and feed her separately. My pheno was so fucking dank tho. People I've let sample her are begging for more. If I can bump up the yield she will become a permanent addition. I am looking forward to seeing how your Bandanna Aliens work out. You should post a grow.

I had my share of problems with my last run. New house, colder temps than I would have liked during the lights off cycle. My first introduction to Powdery Mildew and huge losses in yield do to the stress associated with all these things combined. It was pretty stressful to deal with all of these things. But I got it all under control now. I know what I have to do to ensure this doesn't happen again. I expect my next harvest to be my largest ever.

You deserved it. That shoreline was beautiful. That shot of your girl was f*ckin nice too. My girl has a similar build. Both of your ladies looked good enough to eat. I think its great that you won.

Attitude will def screw u over. They did it to me when I ordered Chocolope regs. Mailed my payment only to get the stupid fuckin email once my payment arrived. They said they could hold my loot till it came back in stock. Well that was last feb, and they still haven't been restocked. Mofuckers.

Jkahn I got the empty gel caps from the grocery store in the pharmacy. It was funny buying those. I was high as shit. Lol. I'll pm u the info. I got the recipe from cannetics. I've had those shroom caps before too.
