The Coming Of Cheesus

7/20/11 Update: Not much to report in on. So far she is a beast. in 18 hours she sprouted an inch long tap root and now she is in a rapid rooter plug tucked in a humidity dome under 4 of the 8 t5's. lights come on at five a.m and off at eleven p.m two hours of light and shes already starting to push the little scrap of plug i put across the top of the whole to protect the root. B.E.A.S.T i have very high hopes for this one. glad I decided to go with the single waterfarm unit.

Also any thoughts on if I should run a mixed spectrum during veg only? was only going to run the t5's but now once shes out of the dome im gonna run 8 t5's and up my cfl count to five. let me know what you guys think.

7/21/11 Update: Day two in the dome under the lights and shes already an inch and a half high. Figure another six or seven days and into the Hydroton it is.

On a side note instead of using straight tap water like I always have this time I bought distilled water but on the label it says carbon filtered and ozonated. Does anybody know if this will adversely affect the plant? I don't think so but I always check.

when i first started growing hydro i used nothing but distilled and the plants where always healthy and happy as could be so you should be fine.

ok good to go then. just trying to eliminate any outside factors affecting the plants. If I still have the same problems as before then its the nutes I'm using.

Back at it Niko. Glad to have ya back.
You do know that Conisseur and the Sensi Grow/Bloom is a different line from AN.
Not sure they are meant to go together. Not sure about that one.
You gonna post up some pics?

Ill double check that one. the way it read it sounded like connoisseur was just a bloom enhancer but I'll check. if it is a flowering nutrient to be used all by itself I may just try that

Might wanna double check then. The Connoisseur is a nutrient in itself. It is not meant as an additive.
You could use it with Bud Candy or other additives like that. Some use only the Connoisseur alone with nothing else.
For the price of a bottle of it. It better work some miracles. I have seen some comparisons and I wasn't impressed.
You should google it and read some reviews on the product or you can go to AdvancedNutirents.com and get info on it.
But me personally I like to read reviews from actual users. Cuz the company is always gonna make it sound great!!

Everyone has told me that the connoisseur line is all hype so last night i ordered the sensi bloom A and B to use as my flower nutes. Ordered Voodoo Juice as well for the roots. next week I'm going to order Bud blood, big bud, overdrive and bud candy. That's going to be the lineup for this grow. And yeah you were right bro.

Just gotta find a way to accurately measure this stuff out. that was one problem with the Canna Nutrients. probably gonna buy a graduated cylinder. most accurate thing I can think of.
