Lovely cola there sir! Looking very nice and frosty already! I havn't actually had any dabs yet today.....but seems like a good time to . Been hanging out with my daughter all day listening to music, and cleaning the house... alittle hehe.

Hey Thunder! I haven't been around in a while but stopped by today and was curious how you and your family are doing? I hope the move went well and you are back up to your old tricks. I plant to have some time this week to catch up on your thread. Always good for some laughs and education. Keep on keeping on! Happy Holidays to you and yours!

thats a good idea for a ScROG screen man just cut it off and roll out another piece for the next grow....i also like the DIY screens made from PvC and string.

Yeah, used it a couple times. Was absolutely unbelievable how well it worked. I use all their stuff... well most of it anyways. Nice to meet another DM user. Not too many of us I've seen around.

not to sidetrack but jig... how long does the DM lineup last you.. i have seen your results before and im switching overt to rdwc. if i ran a 20 bucket system w. 2 55g drums for rez. how fast u think id go thru the lineup??? were talking roughly 100-120 gallons.??? im gonna shoot to do a rez change every 2-4 weeks. would that be sufficient? in your opinion... and anyone elses opinion is WELCOMED as well!!!!

I don't change my rez that often, and I know jig doesn't either . I change mine maybe once a month if I'm doing good, atleast once a plant cycle. I don't know how many gallons the DM is supposed to mix out to, if its not on the site I'd honestly prolly just call them. I would have to think that with 100 gallon res your gonna prolly go through a gallon of nutes each cycle, though I could be wrong I've never used DM.

Well sorry I havn't been around much, everything is great to be honest. The plants are loving the floranova, and doing fantastic. The flowering girls have blown up, and I've got 10 less plants in my tray but it looks just as full as ever. All the new seedlings are doing well, and a couple will get cloned with the next round of clones. I'm sure I've said it before but I"m super excited about these tangerine powers. They smell sooo orangy and delicious.

Hey TC. How's it going bro ?: Good I sure hope. Just thought I would holla and see how you was doing buddy. That & wish you a happy holiday. Just did an update and would really like it if you and whomever would like to plzzz check them out. If you also don't mind could you let me know what you think bout um ?: Thanks TC, and others.

Dank..


*Edit * so stoned I 4 got to add the damn link! Lol.. https://www.rollitup.org/general-marijuana-growing/621620-danks-update-come-friends-take.html

Sorry bout that..

Thanks TC that eases my mind quite a bit... I thought 2 weeks was gonna be my max man. So u just top everything g off as needed .???

My plants drink enough that I end up topping off the res with 5-10 about every 2-3 days. I usually add nutes every other time. This allows the plants a few days at a little lower nute lvl (usually about 900 instead of 1200) incase they aren't needing as much. I have never felt I needed to force nutes on my plants. I try to feed only what is needed and not over do it.

Dank buddy, always like the updates, I'll swing by. I like seeing them when you post em, but I honestly havn't been able to keep up with the pace of your thread in awhile sorry. I'll stop by though.

Thanks for the tip bro

No problem man, theres lots of ways to do stuff, I'm just lazy so this is how I do it .

You know you are liked when I'm willing to go through all the work to come up with these numbers. Glad you are back SFguy.

So, I picked a random website that had all the DM gear on it for pricing. They seems a little higher than other places, but had a good selection. You could probably knock a dollar or two off if you search. But this gives a baseline. DM has a few different base nutrient lines. They have the Advance (old stuff), Gold (new stuff) and One which is all in one, no A+B. I leave out the One, and chose Advance because it's cheaper and what I use most of the time. I suggest using at least their Silica and Zone. They have a potasium booster for flower I like to use... and another product called Add 2.7... seems like snake oil to me... but I've used it and liked the results. Never done a side by side... so really not sure if it's worth the extra money. Probably not.

I did the math for a 10 gallon rez, for 8 weeks of flower. Changing the rez once per week. The 2 prices reflect using 1L bottles of the additives vs 5L bottles. Using the 5L is cheaper.

Using DM Advance Flower A+B, Silica, and Zone = $18 or $16

Adding Potash+ = $24 or $18

Adding Add 2.7 along with Potash+ = $45 or $35

You can save quite a bit buying in bulk... and that Add 2.7 really bumps up the price per crop. I use the $24 line up with the 1L bottles.

If you want to run a 100 gallon... multiply everything by 10. Anything from $160 - $350. (as you would be using the 5L and not spending the extra on 1L)

Hope that helps.

About rez water, I top off as well. I have no ppm meter, and use pH drops once in a while (probably average once a week). I just fill the rez the first time with however much I am going to want in there. Maybe 15 gallons. When it gets to the point the water pump is sucking bubbles I add a couple of gallons of just water. When it gets to sucking bubbles again I add about 10 gallons and mix in some new nutrients. Depending on how the plants look I'll add more or less than the previous fill.

I usually don't drain the rez out all the way until the end of the grow. I've never had slime or mold issues, although my water does stay cold. I credit the DM Zone a lot to my success with roots and rez's.

Hey wats up TC? how are the girls lookin?Hope all is well on the home front.rdr.

Things are great raider! Plants look fantastic, they are really liking the flora nova so I may actually buy some a run it for a whole cycle. Life is good all around. I'm going today to look into a glass blowing class. I found out yesterday there is 1 local guy with a studio that teachs some lessons, and seems pretty cool from the videos I've seen. Thats something 'I've wanted to do for YEARS, so I'm pretty excited about it. I would love to get the basics from some classes, and then set up a little workshop in my garage in the spring.

First time through I read glass bowling. I was so confused, like what you use glass balls, or glass pins? It sounded dangerous lol.

Lol Jig that is great. I went to Corning glass up in NY when I was a kid, and have loved glass blowing ever since. I've wanted for years to try it, but have never had the right situation. Classes were never local, and I havn't known anyone that does it as a hobby. Making smoking pieces will be cool, but i'm equally excited about just learning the artisic stuff like marbles and encaseings and such.

My dad had a thing for marbles, so I always liked them too. So cool how they are like snowflakes. Can't wait to see what you get into.

I feel the same about it, I would love to get a couple lessons and a torch. .... a kiln.... and a bit more time in the week....

Awesome Idea! I know someone who started learning a little over a year ago, and he is allready making back $$$ from all kinds of Neat Stuff! Marbles, Pendants, Pipes, Dabbers, even a Bong or 3. I could see Myself giving it a GO someday! Let MY Inner Artist take on GLASS! WooHoo!

Peace
