Got some new seeds on way
Critical 2.0
Blue Dream
Strawberry Amnesia
Blue Cheese
Not sure which ones I'll be doing yet. I'm thinking Critical cos I want a big yield, get some extra cash in for Christmas! haha
My current grow will be done in 3/4 weeks then I'll be back using DWC. And will probably do a SCROG.

Sounds like a good line-up :D I just put a seed in to germinate as well (Mendocino Purple Kush)

hey stickman I've been meaning to ask you how are you liking growing in soil so far? what do you feed?

that's exactly what I want to do & get either a 315 lec/ cmh or a cob led of some sort I'm after a larger harvest but keep my overhead close to what it is now blue dream can yield big as well there is some info in this link (www.darkheartnursery.com ) I'm gonna grow their headband the available clones is why I haven't bought seeds lately

Have you done the Purple Kush before Grape? I know you like your colours!
The soil is alright, it was weird seeing how slow the growth is in the veg stage, it is however very simple, you can just leave them to it and just water every couple of days. Ive got some issues going on at the moment though with yellowing leaves and I don't think its nute burn. Maybe ph. Been away for a week and come back and its worse thsn before, need to sort it out.
They are just getting fed my normal hydroponic base nutes snd then boost and PK that can be used in soil or hydro. I didn't want to spend any money on nutes for them as I won't be doing a soil grow again. I have got some biobizz organic base nutes knocking about somewhere, but can't find em, they might be in loft, but can't be arsed to go up there and look haha.
Yield wise, it won't be owt magnificent, probably end up with 6-8 ounce. Mainly because the Hollands Hope does not like the heat in the tent and is just foxtailing and making small skinny airy buds. The Frisian Dew buds smell gorgeous and they are fsttening up but do seem a bit airy. The Durban Poison however are solid, got some nice thick colas on her, smells lovely as well.
My prediction is
Durban Poison 3 ounce
Frisian Dew 2 ounce
Hollands Hope 1 ounce
I'm going to chop them all at the same time, regardless. They are all 8-9 week strains.

Well the Critical 2.0 is Dinafems version of Critical Mass, which I think is an improved Big Bud? So it's a commercial strain, supposed massive yields and it is meant to stink as well, which is what people are after round here.
I am so tempted to do the Blue Dream as well though next time around, seen as its going to be colder over the next few months and that may encourage the lovely blue colour to come out!!
It's funny you mention that link, I've been on the Dark Heart Nursery today, typing Blue Dream in Google took me there!
Also funny, I've been looking at 315w CMH lighting today! Haha I think I'm gonna pick one up this week! I've read really good stuff, and it seems that it is comparable to a like 450w in HPS? Also they are meant to be better for terpenes and flavonoids, which I think hydroponic systems somehow lack compared to soil grown plants.

ye I do like the colours :weed: but then again I don't have much choice since my local seed shop closed off and I'm just using whatever seeds I already have. I can't be bothered with keeping a mother although I have some leds that I'm not using :P
I was asking cause my passive drain to waste hydro method is going outta control since I don't have the time to tweak and fiddle with ppms and different NPK ratios as there is no universal recipe for all strains. I have to keep experimenting or ditch everything and go all soil. Basically I have the same issue with yellowing leaves before their time and ph going out of ballance
I would gladly trade some of the yield off for little to no maintenance

I think it's a massive trade off yield wise. But it depends what you are growing for, if its just for personal use then I reckon you may be better off with soil, as the finished product will be better, especially if grown organic like our good friend @calliandra does. I reckon the quality of her smoke would piss all over our hydroponic grown buddah.
For me though it's an hobby, I can't even smoke my stuff, so I do like to profit a lot from it whilst still growing strains that I want to see and for my mates, strains that they would never be able to buy from the commercial dealers. It brings a big smile to my face when someone tries my stuff and they are amazed at it. :razz:
So if a few ounce can last you for your needs between grows then go for it. I thought hempy was meant to be s fairly easy and more rewarding way to grow though?

To put into comparison, this soil grow will get 8 ounce if I'm lucky. Next time when I use DWC and using a massive yielder like Critical I'm expecting 18ounce plus :grin:

A massive yield can still be obtained in soil though, a mate of mine grew 2 plants in soil under a 600w and got 22oz. It was his first grow, he did everything by the book. Strain was Double Berry, it was lovely smoke as well.

depending on who I've asked the 315 lec is equal to 500-600 w. Of hps. I see 1 lb. harvest possible as one guy got 400 gr. in e& f dwc should be higher as for me it's chop time & headband is ready to kick off hopefully a very merry Christmas

I've already bossed well over a pound with the DWC with a 400w HPS, shaming 600w growers! Haha soz 600 watt growers!
With the new 315w light i'd want to be getting at least 500g. All the best with the chop Herk and may the Headband become really fat and smelly!
