If I hadnt switched to a hydro system I would have defenitly tryed this man. Very cool. Even though I switched systems I still am using mother nature to help me out however. I was in my flower garden (my real flower garden), and I happened to run a across a praying mantis. He/she was a baby when...
Very nice man ! I am trying to decide which way to go ... the kush strains or the cheese strains. I was leaning towards the kush'es but your pics have swayed me the other way. I really cant say for sure I have tried either one to be honest. Remo (urban grower) always talks about bubba kush, but...
one roll of 12/2 wire 250ft was 80$ Home depot
Breakers (20amp), outlets, box covers and wiring tack stuff ~80 bucks
BRIAN11543 what you suggest would only give him 40 amp for house usage power. I dont think thats adequate for houses these days. From my understanding he is upgrading his...
I had the exact thing done 3 months ago. It cost 3K and all they did was install a 100amp panel and a cut off switch. I ended up running the wiring, installed outlets, and new breakers myself. I didnt know how I should have explained to the electrician why I wanted 3 new breakers/outlets added...
I have seen people chop down plants with very few matured bud sites at the bottom. Now if you are growing massive quantities of plants by all means you dont need to worry about a few extra more matured bud sites. When I harvest I chop down what one could call the top canopy. A plant is sectored...
BTW: I used the following throughout the whole process at different stages. I have detailed info but I will save it for the future journal.
Vigoro, Potassium silicate, N-Cal-Mag, Molasses, Amber Humic, Vinegar, H2O2,, Big Up Powder, Bio Cozyme
Tops and some midsize below the top "canopy" have been harvested. Alot of midsize and and smalls below are not ready yet. I do not think I will gain anymore weight in the buds at this point. I am only waiting for the remainder to caramalize a little bit more and alow some of the white hairs to...
My only real reason to going the hydroponic route is the ease of getting rid of waste products (Like all that root bound medium). The flower bed outside my house is getting full, and oddly enough my marigolds in the bed are HUGE. Must be all that non flushed out nutrients. I have looked at...
When I saw the head line I had a bad vision of myself being in this situation. Im a former marine and have served in Iraq and Afghanastan. This will get mentioned on national news... I bet it will be mentioned this evening.
I also want to make a comment on bag seed overall: Out of 6 strains: two were sativa dominant, 1indica dominant and the other 3 were to close in the middle to distinguish. Only 3 of the strains were worth keeping. The heavy indica (showed NO male flowers at all) one of the sativa dominant...
I am harvesting a crop of from bag seed now. I had the same issues. Clone the plants that show little male flower production and or show their hermi male flowers after week 7 of flowering. This seems to be to late in the flowering cycle for pollination to occur. My next crop using the clones...
Thanks man. It has been an awesome time getting to this point. The next go around I intend to come up with a hydroponic system. I really want to be able to do side by side comparisons. There are so few of these out there, and it seems to be the most important. After I finish this flowering cycle...
Strains are unknown and are all from bag seed.
Total varieties : 6
Total Plants 16
Total time from seedling -> sexing -> cloning of females : ~70-80days (i think) I stopped useing herb IQ halfway through
Total time of flowering: ~9 weeks still harvesting on a daily basis (I dont believe in...
Hello hotsauce, I have a BA in molecular bio and an AA in biotechnolgies. Any bio track you would into would defenitly give you more insight into growing the best buds. As for money man.... I cant say one could hope to make more than 50K a year. Starting salaries range from 28-35K for people...
Hey Cando,
Very informative thread. I remember in one of my biotech classes we attempted culturing, obvioulsy not with MJ. We all used leaf material and only a few groups got any viable cultures. Im going to attempt this in a month or two after I get a written protocol together. Is there any...
I believe when you heat water you are disturbing the H20 molecular lattice and by increasing the heat of a liquid its molecules move faster. So the pH you are reading is dependant upon how much you have heated it, or let it cool for that matter. Your pH should be read at room temp/grow room...
Just wanted to say high to everyone. I have been googling questions that have been popping up over the past few months during my grow and found that most of my questions had already been answered on this site. So kudos to all of you! Well Im now a member... It may take me a while to post pics, I...
