No journals...I do Happily share anything I have done and learned since my hydro beginning in 1981....I purchased the IB out of curiosity and dont see any of my 3 producing and 'boxing glove' size buds....they will indeed be dense and have decent yields, but based on flowering characteristic of probably 30 strain or so I've grown over the years, I dont see it performing as the SALES ppl describe it....they certainly knew how to get everyones attention...I am sure it will be a worthy plant to be in the mix, but cant help but think there was some way over zealous sales pitching going on...I'm sure it paid off for them too...

What were your final thoughts and weight on this IB?

Over all, I pulled 31Jars (oz each mason jar)...its a 4ft by 5ft area with a 1000w light which is 1.15 gms per watt...that is less than I typically would get with a good cutting but still respectable....The Incredible Bulk averaged right about 20% higher yields than my white Widow and cheese candy (which yeild about the same)...my buddy that SPLIT the IB seed order with me got a BEAUTIFUL plant withna controlled height (compared to mine) and Yields half again as much....We found the plant profile structures to vary considerably, but the buzz is VERY Homogenous btwn them, which is a personal favorite of mine...SO, I scrapped my Bulks and got a cpl cuttings from his...by all means, Incredible Bulk is a HOME RUN by the good ppl at Dr. Kripplings...Noth ing I have had in 37 yrs of growing can match the yields or quality and character of the buzz...my White Widow, Cheese candy, Incredible Bulk, are all on hold AFTER I finish this current crop, because I crack some seeds from BOMB Seeds...specifically THC Bomb and a real pretty Bubble Bomb, which was a freebee and looks great so far...these will be my 6 plants for the one following this current one (pic attached)...that was taken 4 days ago 36 days into flower...thanks for checking in..YT

Just a quick explanation of the set up...went back to a hempy style sys...with addition of an akr stone and watering 'TUBE'...Pic of bucket design...air stone helps roots LOVE THAT REZ...the watering tube, 2inch vertical pvc pc inside each bucket, is used to water ONLY THE REZ....Hempy being a top water sys require a BUNCH of water to keep it self flushing...too much and a waste of nutes, so soon as my roots bottom out, I water straight down that tube...The bubbles from the air stones creates voids in the water which naturally draws water toward it...so it mixes well in an hour or so...A tiny hole is drilled a half inch up on the sides with a rubber stopper to collect samples for pH and ppm checks...if an adjustment is needed, it goes right down the watering tube (also run the air lines down them)....each bucket has a pvc drain line 2 inches up that dumps into a larger main pvc which drains to a waste pan...turns a standard hempy bucket into a super hempy....YT

I had my buddy send over a pic of the Incredible Bulk he found in his group of seeds...I now have this cutting but like I said, everything is BENCHED for 1 crop to sort out my THC Bombs....he is pulling about 6 oz off that plant at that size...said it was 21" tall and 30" across...NO BOXING GLOVE size buds as Dr.K's description suggests, BUT, this has rock hard buds, with a BUNCH of budding sites...it is the BEST example we got btwn the 2 of us...he grows RDWC for ref...mine had similar buds but my 2 best were a little over 3x stretchers...one in pic was approx 1.5x stretcher....I personally WAY prefer shorter plants like this one...this plant, my white widow and the best THC Bomb I get, will be making up my grows for a while....YT
