Sour Diesel from bean. Finished over 1lb, excellent sativa!

This is an original Sour Diesel from California Connection. I thought I would put together a couple full journals then start some of plants growing currently.

Here is the breakdown.
We here at Kushington Farms have been using a 75% coir 25% perilite media mix on an intelligent watering system.

In flower, per 50 gallons we mix:
60ml Silica, Dutchmaster
200ml Boost, Technoflora
200ml Bloom, Technoflora
1 tsp of Monster Bloom, Growtek
60ml Thrive Alive, Technoflora
75ml MagiCal, Technoflora
200ml Hygrozyme.

We flower with an EC of .7 or below. For those of you using PPM meters this would be under 500. No, I'm not kidding. Plants use the water stream inside them to transfer electrons. Cannabis is the most efficient plant at doing this, which is why hemp can grow 30 feet tall in a single season. The lights I use increase the voltage of the light's photons for my plants. By doing this, it increases the energy level of the electrons inside the water stream. For this reason, when using this type of light, the conductivity of that water needs to be decreased. This is similar to how plants perform photosynthesis under sunlight.

Plants get water 4 times a day in flower. All the containers are on stands and with drain lines leading to a tote with an automatic return sump pump to return the water the rez. When it's time to flush, we switch the water lines to come from the fresh water (mixing) tank and drain lines to waste, done.

We veg for 60 days and flower for 60 days. This is a medical facility working under the guidelines set up by the state. We are not allowed more than 72 plants. This is a perpetual garden, so 3 plants in and 3 plants out every week of flower. We average 12 oz per plant. We provide over 100 lbs of dried medicine from a 2 stall garage! All LED, I'll let you do the math. This would not be possible to cool or even power this garden if it were HID. This all has to be done off a single 100 amp panel, and includes all AC and RH equipment.

This is a very simple system to duplicate. Provides all the benefits of hydro and the forgiving nature of soil. Water uptake increases because roots grow faster. We use this coir mix in 5 gallon smart pots. Veg for 4-6 weeks in this pot, then 2 weeks before flower we will set this on top of a fresh mix of media in a second 5 gallon smart pot. This allows the roots new area to fill and they do grow right through one bag into the other.

We do not use CO2. We try to keep it as simple as possible. We have been to Denver, SF, and Maine with our meds. Subcool, Swerve, Ken, Scott and many other breeders all agree the density, potency, quality and size of our buds are some of the best they have ever tried from indoor crops! The next event will be in Seattle on September 7th-8th. Hope to see you all there!

Questions are welcome, We grow 4' tall, 1 pound plants and fuel growth all the way to the bottom. All Hi Output Cree LED's fueling plant growth up to 6' away! I'm sure you have not seen results like this before.

DSC04908.jpgDSC04909.jpgDSC04910.jpgDSC04911.jpgDay 7, she started growing over 1 foot a week
DSC05043.jpgDSC05044.jpgDSC05045.jpgDSC05108.jpgDay 14, she grows all the way up to the light. We will low stress train her and raise the light. First time a plant has got this tall this fast. Caught us off guard.
DSC05233.jpgDSC05234.jpgDSC05235.jpgDSC05236.jpgDSC05237.jpgDay 21, we get her down some and the light up. There should be 2' clearance from the lights we use and the canopy.
DSC05428.jpgDSC05429.jpgDSC05432.jpgDSC05434 we added a lumenator, this plant is huge lol.jpgDay 28, we added a 180w light to the other side. She is just growing so fast right now, it's insane.
DSC05600.jpgDSC05615.jpgDSC05619.jpgDSC05641.jpgDay 35, lots of little buds forming everywhere. She is turning into a beast!
DSC05798.jpgDSC05801.jpgDSC05802.jpgDSC05803.jpgDSC05804.jpgDay 42, more filling in. Buds are everywhere.
DSC05884.jpgDSC05885.jpgDSC05886.jpgDSC05889.jpgDSC05890.jpgDSC05893.jpgDay 49, Buds are thickening up and starting to become dense.

View attachment 2740652DSC05993.jpgView attachment 2740653Day 56, only 3 pics. Getting flushed and ready to be pulled in a few days

I need this space for other plants that are ready to come out. I'm sure she could have benefited from another 7 to 10. Sativas usually take 10 weeks.
DSC06025.jpgDSC06026.jpgDSC06027.jpgDSC06028.jpgDSC06029.jpgDSC06030.jpgDay 60, all done and hanging to dry! Finished out to be a 20oz plant. We are starting to see the potential. But, the indicas make better use of the space, even hybrids are maintainable. We will be putting future Sour Diesels out to flower sooner.

I am inquiring cause I face similar situation in limited amount of plants and space for medical collective in WA, and have attempted to make it as prepetaul as I can with limited plants. So I understand wanting to maximize yields. I used LEDS as well an believe my current one is under powered for the yields I believe can be acquired, in addition I use a combination of Passive Hydroponics and Organic Soil mix. I call this PHOGS, passive hydro organic grow system. I am sure once I bump my Dorm Grow G8 panel for a 240 to a 600 watt panel I am sure I will yield better.

So I am curious to the power of the LED being used, square footage of coverage and make model. I learned about passive hydroponics from Ed Rosenthal which encourages greater development of roots into a water reservoir that is a reservoir of H20 combined with silica porous rocks that trap air keeping oxygen in the water or roots to access as well. I had a chance to talked to with Ed Rosenthal about my system based on of his teachings on building a passive hydroponic system. He advised I should add a air pump to water reservoir, which I can do and plan on trying. My original goal with the grow setup was to make it low maintenance a turn key if you will. Being passive hyrdo system was attempt to avoid any electrical assistance for even my plans for larger central reservoir to gravity feed lower plant reservoirs avoid the use of electricity
When I test the PPM from my well water source it registers between 50-75ppm. Sometimes I have to add cal/mg for certain strains. With my water PPM per your quote, these lights should work for my grow as well to increase energy level of the electrons inside the water stream? Since I don't need to decrease my conductivity of my water it would seem if I have proper nutrients in soil plants would still receive the benefit of the lights effect on their water stream? So that is how I am understanding how you increased yields. If so please, please tell me more about these LEDs?

If your curious about my grow, check my journal can be found on same forum page as yours, even so my signature has links.

Thanks,

they look like lush lighting dominators to me (dominator XL, 2x, or 2xXL… not sure which… ). they are the only LEDs I've seen with that color spectrum, and the only ones I know of capable of producing a yield like that. I have 2 still in the box that I'll be setting up soon…

quick flowering plant tho.. kuz most anything ive grown sativa related or sour d.. has gone over 60.. for sure..


but looks great .. nice jobb
