When say monster cropped are you speaking of a clone from a flowering plant? I use monster clones from flowering plants and they look like clones of your pics. I rarely touch them because they do so much on their own. I grow them 10 gallon smart pots and get 5-6 ounces. I am shooting for eight on the next run.

Well from my understanding monster cropping is actually taking clones from a plant that is a couple weeks into flower. Which i did rooted them, them ran out of room. And they had to go into the flower room for two weeks until the other house was ready. Then they sat in veg for about two months before i flowered them out. These plant in one of the rooms are monstrous in size im expecting minimum of 8oz per plant and a couple will easily pull close to a pound.
If not more.

Is this the way to grow?

I still don't know. These plants are old. But i was not in a hurry for money. I have plenty of space. and even more patience.


On my last grow we had a one month veg and 12 flower. Yes i had small yield and problems but still pulled on average a qp per plant. But people didn't like it for whatever reason. The bumper crop that i am harvesting slowly now. People are loving the fuck out of it. But its all organic very colorful.

So idk that helped at all but that's my input

Oh, my. There is no way I could afford to run a line like that in RDWC, I make 125 gal of solution for every changeout.

Hydrogardens.com

They do twenty five pound minimum orders, friendly, know their nutes. They are dry nutrient salts, however, not an organic line.

Yeah money was not a issue. But i need absolute best product I can offer. But one thing i will admit about the line. Its a FUCKING pain in my ass to mix these nutes.

Have you ever tried pouring 2oz out of a 2.5 gallon bucket? Its too much work. I'm going to continue using the line. But I'm going change ever thing.

I think I'm about to use a drip irrigation but build my soil better. I'm not to fond of the super soil mix. But i would really like to try fox farm dry nutes all purpose 5-5-5 mixed with plant success granules its 3-1-2.

And basically drip irrigation on a pump fed from a 275 gal IBC rez-container full of fish. Its not true aqauponics, but i believe it work great.

Still use nectar for the gods twice a week by hand watering.

When you pick the buds are you waiting for the trichomes to turn amber or do you go for the milky white? I love your pics dude.

Honestly no, i do own a 50x microscope but never really use.

But i am really lazy, i usually let them go to long. I usually try and wait until i think they are just about dead

looks dank!! I love the bath tub. lol how tall? yield?

That is what I am doing now and I like it. The extra time and effort go a long way in the end. I use the 10 gln smarties and I feed every three to four days at 800 to 900 ppms and they just love it. I use a mix of FF frog, Ocean Forest and Promix. They eat the promix and I compost the the rest for next year when I will be making my super crop soil. I use a lot of shit, but I make it into a tea with worm castings and guano and that lets me push the fuck out of them. The taste and smell of the soil grown is so much better, at least I think so. My smallest pull was 31/2 O's and that is only because I was gone so much and the girl got stressed from being cut so much and then being chucked right into flower. I pull my clones with buds on them and they grow into monsters. My friends tell me it doesn't work at all and that I am using another plant. I tell them they have no clue, and if they did they would do it to!!! Once they grow out from the bud they go bonkers. It takes a little time, but patience has proven to be much more satisfying. I have a dirt cheap clone gel recipe that works on almost anything. I use ground up Chia seeds and distilled water. Chia is loaded with everything a cutting wants. White only the black ones dont take on the needed water. My cloning gel cost me about 3 cents to do 100 cuttings. I will be looking forward to seeing your stuff. L8R

Organic honey works good for cuttings too. However honey is getting kinda expensive these days.

Yeah my plants got way to big now they are hitting the lights, kind of a nightmare actually. I wish i would have flowered them about a month earlier. But its whatever.. thanks for stopping in

lol i took a stacked kush and put into a 4 gal. pot, supercropped because it was getting too big and started flowering 2 weeks late. I can't raise the light anymore and it has 4-5 weeks left. I a tying it down more but it is over taking the room. lol

Yeah i will post some pics tomorrow, I caught a bad case of lazy growing. And have been in a depression because i have to much on my shoulders and a couple life changing decisions that I need to make real soon.

I hope everything works out for you in making the right choices so you can get back to enjoying life and growing.

Hey your in Colorado bro right? Do you like it? Are you around Denver? And are you still making money?

I am, indeed. Colorado is even better than you've heard. I live north of Denver, lots of great places to explore here.

You come with a skill, a willingness to work hard and improve your craft and you can write your own ticket.

We send attitudes and assholes packing, without remorse.

Its only about 3 foot tall but about 4 ft wide, i havent harvested her yet, when I do it will be in sections like the top colas and let the bottom fill out a lil longer, but i think the colas will be done in a couple weeks.

Im not sure what the yield will be, but if i had a guess id say somewhere between 14 to 20 ounces. Thats just a guess though.

Thank you, a lot people online are kinda pessimistic when you ask them if moving to Colorado is a good idea.

Okay, whatever! Wtf are they afraid of? That you might accidentally live out your dreams and be happy? Can't have that!

I gave it to you straight, no chaser. The above are words to live by around here, along with a healthy dose of humility and the willingness to pitch in on good causes, be it a keg on Friday night with the guys and gals, or helping a friend move her piano.

This is just about the friendliest place I've ever lived anywhere in the country and we like it this way! It might sound a little hippie dippie- but if you think about it for a minute, it is anything but; marijuana is real money and real business- we could all carry guns... and ruin it for everyone.

The attitude a person displays really does go a long way towards determining their character. The kind of people you will want to business with are all looking for good people we can do business with today AND tomorrow. Sooooo... it isn't an act, at least not here.

Yeah see i got two rich buddies of mine that willing to send me up there to grow, but houses are fucking expensive up there. Where i live you can get a decent place with 30 acres for around 300k.

Im just worried that i wont make us enough money, plus we need to make money here first. We try to be self funding as much as possible.

I think we are going to sit back and wait to see what the other states do.

But i got mad respect for you tyystickk. Thanks man for your encouragement.

So ive had a lot going on the last week, the same mother fuckers tried to break into my house again. Crazy story im not going to share at the moment. But long story short they tried and failed. I did a pretty good job making my house impenetrable, the thugs had a gun, two cars and four people in the middle of day. My fucking neighbors caught them again. I pulled up right after it happen.

So i rented a big ass uhaul and stuffed it with plants, they are 7 foot tall with the pots. I had to lay them on their sides broke a couple big ass branches.

I had to drive 50 mins away with a trailer full of flowering plants... not fun! That was probably one of the sketchiest things ive ever done. I know anyone driving next to could smell it..

So im back at the other house lol, i went from the straight ghetto to a gated community.. big relief on me.

Sucks i had that house all decked out, prefect house in the worst neighborhood possible.

And i just got done finishing patching all the holes and painted the room from the previous grow, just to have to move everything back into the room..so gay.

The plants are not very happy right now they are fucking beast but i got lazy and underwatered and let them get way to big. But in the new house i have ten foot ceilings so that solved that problem.

So i got them all stuffed into a 12x12 room right now with 4k of light above the, but i can only burn 2k until i get a 60 amp sub panel built and run the wire. So im rotating the lights 2 on one day, then the other two the next day.

Sorry if this isn't making sense i ate 1.5 grams of shrooms earlier and been drinking.

So some pics.. these are not all pretty
