a few good people coaching is the real shadow now about that cmh conversion how is she working for you that is the most logical way for me to turn things up a notch besides a different strain if this gives me a promise of something good sunset sherbet will be next if not gg#4 or chemdawg is on the horizon

Indeed as time moves on I'll only be running these. The benefits are absolute. Nice full spectrum with uvb to boot. I hope to see a dual ballast in that flavor as I do with the 600 lumateks. My cap 4 lighting controller works perfectly for my 5 light setup so if they don't produce a double I'd have to upgrade that component.

The turnaround on your plants is just awesome man. Ive always done soil grows becuase theres a lot less to monitor and ive never smoked any bud that i knew was hydroponically grown that tasted as good as anything id grown in soil, but your waterfarms are making me seriously consider doing some experiments with hydro growing later on when i have my own place.
Havent looked at any of your other threads but im wondering if youve done any waterfarm growing or just hydro in general before? How do you find the final product to be? Its possible ive never had good hydro lol

before this I was doing e&f coco in smart pots when I did the skywalker I did a soil & a coco grow of it in the case of the skywalker the hydro I felt was better but I have friends that do nothing but soil & some of their stuff is top notch I don't do much in soil mainly because I'm no good at it

for this feeding cycle I'm using gh nutes & additives 100% this is my last ditch effort to put a little more weight on them as they're still throwing white hairs I knew this wasn't a yielder when I took it on I'm hoping the waterfarm can pick up the mediocre yield somewhat & the quality of the finished product is gonna be off the hook & I've a feeling she is going to be purple I'm taking every precaution to see that is the best I can make of it

a little early to confirm but it looks like I made the right call on the nutes&addatives

this mornings pics gonna give them one week of these nutes & then start including the soul synthetic nutes for the finish she's super sticky & the grape smell is giving way to skittles & a raspberry lemonade smell with a hint of pine hard to describe

these are ripening faster than I would like & tonight I'm gonna see where my ppm's are she seems to have slowed down on the nutes next feeding is gonna be soul synthetic 100% as I thing they're gonna swell some but main stretch is done also gonna lower the ppm to 8-9 hundreds as she ripens it's time to pick up a clone for my next grow

she is still feeding heavier than I thought ppm. has dropped from 1180 to 900 in 3 days time I'm seriously looking at a 315 cmh/ lec light it is supposed to equal at least 500w. of hps light while only consuming about 330 actual watts & the spectrum makes frosty buds still looking for a new strain it's looking like I'm gonna have to make that drive to the Bay Area to get what lm wanting

not much change I did a little more pruning today I might do better than I expected but compared to other waterfarm grows the yield on this is gonna be paltry

this may or may not turn purple due to how much hot weather we're having but she's ripening faster than I would like today is day#28 since she actually started budding this strain doesn't make large buds as you can tell by the pics

the hairs are receding & although the buds aren't growing in volume they're gaining weight I fed a week ago @ 1180 ppm & last night my ppm. was down to 840 so she is feeding but not as much as she was my friend I got this plant from usually gets about 2 oz. from a plant in e&f multiple plants I know my single plant grow is gonna top that but I cant predict a yield gonna start feeding the soul synthetic nutes as the kelp & all that kinda stuff that's in it should be just about right for finishing her off & the lower n-p-k numbers should work it good it also has cane sugar & molasses I'm feeling pretty good about things gonna do one more grow with this set-up as I feel there is much more to be had with the hps. but a led or 315 cmh/lec looms on the horizon

changed out my nutes last night ppm@1020 50/50% gh & soul synthetic nutes by next feeding I'll phase out the gh 3 part this grow is gonna be a success maybe not as successful as I would like but I've learned a thing or two and I'll apply it in the next grow I was gonna upgrade to a led or cmh but I had to pay a large veterinary bill so the light is on hold until after harvest as much as I would like a new light the hps is here for another round I'm not tripping too hard as I believe there is much more to be had applieng what I do have the mkultraXbubblegum is probably gonna finance the new light
