very interesting technique.... would you recommend it for ebb and flow in rockwool? my 4" cubes only holds water for about 4 hours with light on, will they be okay with no watering for a few days with light off?

btw, im looking into BC Bud Depot, (BC GOD BUD, BC PURPS). How did you like them? are these solid strains to get??? if not what do you recommend

I would NOT do this with EBB & FLOW systems. ONLY SOIL.
I love love love the BC PURPS. I hate the GOD BUD! IT TRULY SUCKS ASS! Even crossing the God Bud never produced anything special. I have my last F1 hybrid Im testing now. Its a God Bud x G-Force. Still doesnt look or smell that great.

hey there 5000J's, (is that a reference to the 7th generation joint myth?) anyway, i am much more interested in your cloning method, those girls are true root beauty's. And yeah BC Purps are my favorite strain so far, my momma is a grape sativa pheno. truly rock ur world stuff. Just pulled in a Godbud to, first one was a little early, but the second one is sweet looking, hangn up now..

I use an EZ-CLONE 120 w/ Olivias Clone Solution / Pro-Tekt / SuperThrive. I use CLONEX GEL for the dip. PH balanced to 5.9. Rez Temps at 70.

HarryKnuckle, You are now on my ignore list. PISS OFF!

Fair enough, but if you go off telling people not to feed for the last 3 weeks of flower you're a noob and shouldn't be giving advice of any kind.

I hope the newer growers reading this thread don't fall into the "noob in expert clothing" trap youve set, 3 weeks without nutes will kill your yield more than anything else you could possibly do.

This site is really suffering from all the myth and bullshit coming from some newer members...

How long before harvest time u recommend to stop feeding with nutes??

You don't need to stop, just gradually lessen them towards the end and then give them a nice slow dry and cure. Smooth smoke needs a slow dry and cure, don't listen to the "it's nutrients in the buds" crowd, flushers actually translocate mobile nutrients from their leaves INTO their buds by flushing ;)

not feeding anything especially nitrogen and magnesium for the last 10 days does move mobile nutrients into the buds from the leaves but this is in the form of growth and not nitrogen still trapped in the bud. I have ran tests and the bud that was fed up until harvest came out a darker color after done curing resulting in a lesser quality smoke. The bud that is not fed anything for the last 10 days always cures into some lime green frosty smoke. I have also read that tests have been done showing that newer leaf growth will produce more trichomes when the nitrogen has fallen out of the plant. This does not necessarily mean the buds get frosty as a result of this but frosty leaves are always a good thing in my rooms. It also improves the burnability, flavor and overall quality of the smoke.

Nitrogen "fallen out"? Where do you people think the nutrients "go to"? The plant doesn't "excrete" them.

Well i think ppl need to respect other opinions in my opinion I lyk thinks natural... If nutes weren't that important I wouldnt give them at all I will try to stop feeding nutes at least 1 week before harvest and also I will flush 1 week before harvest, that's my opinion and that's my conclusion any1 can do w/e da fck they want with their bitchesss and everyone will say my way is the way buds talk so if anyone have the "best" way should post some pics of ur buds n less talking

This is what subcool says about 3 day dark cycle. Please watch, skip to 33:33 in the video to hear his comments.

Nutrients are excreted in the form of growth, at least in my gardens.

Most people at least know what a nitrogen def. is. Do you read your plants at all?

THIS IS THE LAST TIME I DO THIS!!!!!
I WILL NOT PUT ANYMORE TIME SHOWING THE PICS IVE ALREADY SHOWN A THOUSAND TIMES TO PROVE THIS POINT!!!
WHERE IN THESE PICS DOES IT SHOW THEM SUFFERING IN WIEGHT, DENSITY, OR ANYTHING FOR THAT MATTER!?!?!? MY PLANTS ARE PERFECT!!! You can say I cant grow a daisy never mind a cannabis plant all you want. My buds smoke yours anyday of the week! My weed is super sticky, Burns with a white ash, and tastes exactly like it should. Everyone who smokes my weed, including growers with 10-15 years experience all take lessons from me with no questions asked after smoking my budz.

5000 I have a question, do u see more color given by putting under dark period or it's just the strain also have u ever tried dark period on auto strain under 24on?? Also .. When is the right time for dark period in ur opinion? Not trying he ice thing YET as a first time grower afraid of screwing things up. Hopefully some day my nugs get as beautiful as urs

No color change at all. Never grew an auto before. The directions are all on page 1 for the best times. There is no ICE involved in the flush. Just very cold water. As cold as the tap will get it. I appreciate your kind words but I think its easier to screw things up if you dont take advice from an experienced grower.

Subcool is about as much of an innovator and an "expert" as anyone here. No nutes for 3 weeks is retarded. 72hours dark does work but not the way you think.
Pick up a plant biology book and start on the intro, chapter 1 might be a stretch for you at this point.
