Doc's laboratory

Hell I have no idea what I smoked. It is not bad though, and better then I could have gotten in LA

Morning guys! Hope your all having a great sunday. Its a little chilly but a nice sunny day here, and starting to feel like spring . Seems like from what I've read here Doc that things are going pretty well so far, I'm glad to hear it.

Yea going well. We just need a place and we are all set. I think the week it should be all sorted out and we will be in a place.

I can only imagine the weight that will be off you man. You and your family are tough, and obviously brave. I've had a few job options over the years in other states, but I could never find a place to live that met my needs for growing and that I could afford. Anyway, its awesome its all working out, and that you guys MADE it happen. Thats what life is all about making the things you want happen. Some day maybe we'll actually pull it off too .

Well the growing part is easier here at least. I was talking to a teacher at the park about glass yesterday

@Dezracer the sour cherry made it by the way

@Thundercat what nutrients do you use? I am looking at dyna-gro when I start up. I am going to run four clones rdwc or coco in the octagon, and coco in the rest of the grow. I want to see what I can do in the octagon once befor I retire it. If any one runs ether of theses setups fill free to chime in too.

I've used a few different nutes over the years. Mostly GH honestly. I'm currently using the flora nova series, I add some protek when I change the res, and once in a while I use some cal mag. Other wise, I've been pretty happy with my results. All of the GH products I've tried seem to work well, and about the same in the long run.

My favorite nute I've ever used and that I've turned a couple growers on to is called ENVY. They work amazingly, and are cheaper then almost any typical grow shop nutrient. Heres the link http://www.envybrand.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=70&Itemid=80, the envy is an agricultural nutrient like Jacks brand. The ONLY reason I am not running it is that I don't want to order it online and my local shop doesn't want to get it just for me. The harvests that I had with that nutrient were some of the best tasting best yielding I've ever had, and it was a super simple 2 part equal mix.

Yea the Dyna gro is like that to. It has grow, bloom, and protek. I have them up and will do some reading, and see if it is around local.

Envy is different, its not grow and bloom. Its a full cycle nutrient, it just happens to be a 2 part because the ingredients have to be mixed with water before you mix them together. It works awesome from clones all the way through the end of flower, just giving the plants what they really need.

You use great white with it?

I don't use great white or any Bennies, I run a sterile res. Most of the year I don't need anything, but in the summer I use a chlorine solution to just make sure I don't have any issues.

You do flood tables right?

Yep 4x4 flood and drain tray, 45 gallonish res. under my 1k light. Clones get about 2 weeks veg after they are rooted, and then into the flower tray. All my flowering plants get the same nutes all the way till harvest. I cycle new plants in and move the older plants to the edges of the tray about every 2 weeks, when I harvest the cycle that is ready.

I will be starting with 5 gal smart pots with coco. Four 600 hps lights hung vert and will be adding 315 Phillips LEC hung vert as i go this year. I am looking for 5 ft from the pot if I have the head room. I will set the octagon up for one run too like I said.

well I say that, but first I am doing a 1800 watt 12/12 from seed and auto grow while the seedlings and clones veg

SOunds like its gonna be a nice set up. I'd love to run more wattage.

I can not wait to fill a garage up with LEC lights and plants

LEC? LED?
