In my opinion most of the hydro nutes are just about the same as far as end results. Pick a reputable line and get the basics. Concentrate on YOUR growing techniques. All of the lines will grow great plants it's just you sticking to one and learning how to use it in your system/environment. All...

If the buds seem dry maybe you should jar them and start the burping process a couple of times a day. You're ok. Once you jar and cure the flavors will develop. Might take a couple weeks, might take a couple months. For me it's mostly got the full flavors around 4 weeks in the jar.

Just did the cash in mail with no issues. 15 days from me sending to me receiving. Got the regular shipping option and trust me, no stealth there. I actually like it that way cause I think it draws less attention to the post. Also I got mine several days before others who ordered the same day...

String is the cheapest but depending on the size and your time it may not be the best option for you. I do string on a 5ft x 8ft frame and it takes me a couple hours to restring after every grow. The poultry/garden fencing might work for you but as stated above your buds will be too large to...

I guess I'm a little late but here's my 2 cents. I would say you need to clear more of the undergrowth out. It appears very crowded in there. You are going to have lots of small popcorn just under the top colas. Your light will not penetrate to make up for the dense canopy. Sometimes less is...

Here is a good grow journal for the hso BD. It's not my journal but I participated in it. First Grow Ever: HSO Blue Dream in DWC Just got done trimming my last bd and see that I did not do a good job of clearing the undergrowth. Lots of small side branches with tiny buds. My first grow I was...

I had 4 different strains under the screen. I had not even realized how large the BD was until chop time. She sent out branches toward all four corners. Total yield was about 13oz, 8 of that was from the BD. With proper spacing and timing I think I could do 12oz from that one plant in the same...

Great looking lady you got there. Just finished my second run with hso BD from clone, scrog,dwc and 600w. Yours looks a little more indica leaning than mine just based on the size and shape of fan leafs. Your under canopy looks ok right now but mine continued to send out small budsites that...

I think it does nothing as far as plant potency. I doubt there is a single person on this planet who could tell if you put your plant into 24, 48 or 72 hours of darkness. Maybe it gives better visual appeal and thats a huge maybe. My guess is that most growers are use to looking at their plants...

No need for pipe cement if it is for putting together the scrog frame. The joints will will more than tight enough. Makes it easier to take apart or expand as needed. The styrofoam insulation is a good cheap idea to downsize the holes. It also has the benefit of allowing you to add a little bit...

No problem. They are chemical salts. thaw them, shake them up and use them as you normally would. Now just try to keep them in a proper environment, no freeze, no boil, no light. I've used 10 year old gh nutes that froze a couple times during that period and they gave the same results as the...

Great looking girls. Looks right on track for a 9 week finish. I'm not much of a flush person so I run nutes as long as possible. My last blue dream grow was fully done at 65 days then I gave a 1 week flush though I feel it was not needed as far as taste goes. They really picked up bulk and...

Some details on that avatar...please. Nice.

My HSO blue dream was done in 65 days from 12/12, 20% amber. I think that if I could dialed it in, 60 days would be possible.

Putang- I grew some out a couple months ago and agree spot on with your report. Very good yield but airy buds. After you trim away all the leaf matter around the buds it looks a little sad. Easy grow with no issues. Mine smelled like Juicy Fruit gum all flower. Made me want to lick my fingers...
