Reply With QuoteWikipedia hehealso Mo, where did you hear sativas like lower PH?? that sounds bogus to me, that is acidic, and not recommended. i would stick with 5.8-6-4 no matter what

From your day 20 to day 27 pics the leaves go from pale green to almost black - what does that?

In soil, the optimum pH for the plant is 6.3 to 6.8. In hydroponic growing, the nutrient solution is best at 5.2 to 5.8, making Cannabiswell-suited to hydroponics because this pH range is hostile to most bacteria and fungi. (copy paste)Originally Posted by Mohican
thats from that wikipedia, that to me is old basis.
New Tech says ideal is 5.8 .....5.2 is too low

I have been surfing the web trying to find some info about the Malawi soil conditions. I want to see if I can mimick those conditions.
Everything in Hawaii grows great and tastes better because of the volcanic soil. All of my tropical plants like iron and acid because the lava is full of iron and the rain around volcanoes is usually very acidic and sulfurous. Actually perlite is so great because it is volcanic. I am trying to figure out how to make my own Hawaiian volcanic soil. I wonder if I can crush volcanic rock? Is there heavy metals in that stuff?
I wish I had a Malawi guru I could talk to about growing a killer indoor plant...
Does Sativa have different requirements than Indica or Hybrids? Who is the Sativa master? DJ Short?
I personally think the idea is to cheat mother nature to create the ultimate, yes mother nature grows some insanely potent erb, I think true taste and character come from the resin itself, the way it burns or something.....i'm no expert but talking about cruhing up rocks and mineral, that sounds like a cool idea, but impossible to measure properly, and who knows what your really adding or doing...
This is the basis of what perlite goes through to become the source we need...after heating to extreme temperature the volcanic glass expands and becomes porous. It is completely neutral. (chemically inert)
I've tasted some of the best erb grown in perlite alone, I truly don't believe that the elements in soil make it taste better everytime. Yes soil erb taste different but not always better vice versa, I personally put it down to quality of end product / health / resin content that makes the flavour, ive seen it too many times to come to this conclusion and seen soo many different setups and grows, i love them all, i just think synthesizing can be just as good if not better because the rootzone is more controlled. The best best erb i've ever smoked was hydro hands down. The most potent goes both ways with strains.
This is why I like hydro:
5 days into 12/12!
Beautiful Slanty!This is why I like hydro
How long did you veg and what strain is she?
What is the first day of Winter like FlowaMasta? I know your buds have frost on them...
Not sure on total veg time. Lost count because of the root issues. I just waited until I had a good structure down below before I flipped.Beautiful Slanty!

As for strain? Which one? LOL
How many do you have in there?
