ghb - this is how i grow

Well then... you're not invited to dinner.

Was that the reallyblue pheno your,talking about? YouTube video of blue put harvest #20?

Did you have any pm issues where you live? Pm resistance is becoming one of my main focus lately....so tired of seeing fire strains ruined because of pm.

That's one of the problems with NFT. It doesn't give you much scope for mistakes. A broken pump can totally wreck your plants in four hours. That's why I use two pumps, belt and braces lol
A soil/coco plant can last days and can still recover but in NFT with the lights on your roots will end up like a big packet of uncooked super noodles.

I used dams in my tubes. One time the electricity was out for 3 days. I hand ran water through them once every 8 or 12 hours and they were just fine. They didn't like only having indirect sunlight, but that's another thing.

17 and 20 were both colourful, 20 was darker and had the denser buds but not as big of a yield, similar terps. they were all great!.
one was a 3ft midget with thick blackcurrant flavoured buds, one was 7 ft tall, kerosene soaked rags. you have the time, space and patience you will get what you are looking for.

i've never had any real problems with pm, the very first location i grew plants in eventually succumbed to it, but that was mainly down to location (all trees and bushes are covered in it) and the building wasn't properly insulated/lined.

for a small island with a lot of rain it is quite uncommon in the u.k. from my own experience, you would expect the opposite but the r/h must not be enough on it's own , maybe the right temperature for the spores to spread is what determines how bad it can get.i also hear it's a virus stored in the tissue of the plants and that it never truly goes but i honestly don't believe much i read on these forums.

i don't take in clones unless it's something i really want and even then it's only ever one that i can keep a close eye on.

Yea, the more and more I read about pm, the more screwed I feel about it. From what I have read, every strain of PM hits different host species, but unluckily for me blackberry and cannabis are affected by the same strain of pm. And I literally have 5 acres completely surrounded by blackberries (12' tall 12' wide, and at least 1000 yards worth of fence line is covered. Then top that off, the river is across the street. Definitely creates the most ideal conditions for pm to grow. Seems like sulfur burning every damn week is going to be a must.

Anyway, enough of me ranting about my pitiful problems.

Merry xmas man,

Stay free stay high

papa

more cheese, started with 18 in 1 gal pots. eliminated 6 plants before transplanting up to 18l. will end up with 4 per light and hopefully 1gram per watt of nothing but a+ quality.

Lots of great info and giggles. Thanks ghb. Been a while glad to see ya have a thread going.
Im switching to coco and hope you will answer some questions.
On the phone so will come back when the tv is available. Bitchin typing like this.
Great thread!

riu is acting a fool today..
Hey G long time no see! Hope you had a good christmas.
Great thread m8. I had a bunch of questions for you but your thread pretty much covered it.
My setup will be pretty much the same as one of your rooms. I was going with drip to waste but after reading here im not so sure anymore. Cant argue with your results. Well Please let me know what you think..
2.5mx2.5m room with 4x 600w 20 plants. 10L pots with canna coco. with canna base nutrients.
First run will be to find a pheno i will continue with. Dropped 5 seeds of 4 different strains. Fast finishers with gpw potential(Says the manufacturer ).
Dinafem Critical + 2.0 (Bigbud x Skunk>Critical x Critical resistant pheno) 50 day+- finish
VIP Chingis Khan (AK47 x Amnezia Haze) 63 day-+
VIP Tank (White Widow x Sativa) 65+-
Kraken 47 (Critical Mass x AK47) 60+-
Might go with bigger pots but from my understanding its a hydro like setup and i think the air exchange by watering more will be better. I have time to check on the garden everyday
When i find the pheno ill be using. Im doing like you and clone right before flower then have a fresh batch ready when its harvest time. Thanks for that idea.
Great growing G. Hope i can get a decent production going to help pay for the house while im in school.

Harvest is on and cheese candy is smelling great its all smelling great Been a while since ive grown..

Welcome back hydro man ain't seen you for donkey's

sites working again then? lol that was a frustrating few days.

nice cheese candy hydro , leaves praying like a couple of pregnant nuns. i'm getting very close to harvesting some cheese varieties myself, cant wait man.

you idea sounds great , don't know if i'd do it any differently, just have a think about the strains maybe.

pretty much all big yielding strains have zero bag appeal in my experience so even if you are growing to sell, it is sometimes worth growing stuff that

A: people have heard of, or know
B: have good bag appeal (looks,smell etc)

i'm not saying you wont find something good but if you are depending on having to sell it to make payments on your house i would definitely be looking to get some cuttings from somebody you know who grows dank, if that's not an option then i wish you good luck with the pheno hunt.

Actually that cheese candy was doing pretty good chopped at day 54 i should have left some bottom buds for a reveg..
Im glad you dont have much to change about it.
I really cant follow you on the bag appeal. Maybe ive just been lucky but almost anything i have made beats the norm when it comes to christiania and the big grows i know. Oh damn how i miss the Lemon Skunk i had, that was a bag appeal that would instantly give a good price.
Ive had a few airy and hairy ones but thats no more than 1 out of 10 seeds. My "problem" since my first grow have always been yield.
I could get clones but its from a network of people pushing it to the limit. Ill think about it. Thanks for the input.

Those are some well grown , chemically laced plants you got there. Congrats!

That chemically laced reference better not be a non organic nute dig lol. What breeders boutique gear you growing gbh? Gary really sold that james dream a while back but I'm still pheno hunting with the dbxl...found myself an indica leaning one but fuck all thrown sex yet so fingers crossed. But tbh at least 3-4 are male but I'm just basing that on past experience when the males have always had such vigorous growth in comparison to the fems n I've found the node spacing to be less compact...suppose I'm just be I ng a pessimistic cunt lol

Ive grown out 7dbxl all turned out female. I was hopeing for a male at the time. Actually ever since i wanted a male ive gotten all females :/
Until SourAmnesia. Now i got SourAmnesia x Dog bx2, SourAmnesia x Cheese Candy.
Hope you get all the girls you want

Ive already grown out 10 n had one savage pheno but i didnt keep it so id emailed em asking if they had any beans left n got 20.popped 10 n kept the best 4 the rest are cheese bukakke. ..this is the first lot ive had one sassy indica leaning pheno so I'm hoping it's a fem but yeah if they're fem I've got 4 imma clone for sure n I've a gorilla glue 4 cut being gifted to me in the coming weeks...where are you located again dude?

So far this is the second time i may have gotten a few males.last lot id one male lol bb have a great fem ratio but the main reason ive stuck with em is 1. They never over sell a product with mystical hype.2. Any issues they're on the forums.3.i know em so always nice to help put ppl u know rather than some bell end as I know they're bang on..except for don..he's a tool ..it's relax here btw,forgot I'd changed my name haha

Haha i was pretty lost tryna figure out who you were.. Tired of being relaxed?
Im with BB all the way. I recommend them to all. Don might be a tool but i think he is a solid tool Can always find some use for those..
dbxl is a special taste. very strong as i remember and not on the sweet side more like something old and burried But a friend of mine were deeply in love and was sad that i would not grow it anymore.. Hope you get it bang on m8! Oh and im still in Denmark

Damn valium made me forget my password haha man its my favourite strain by the guys tbh well if they turn out male n you've a safe place I'll send u a few pics n u pick what you like n the fairy may pay you a visit haha.

A tool haha I'm not biting.

Lmao SnapON lifetime guarantee

You know im just kidding Don you my G love you a Ton Hope all is well.. Got any special plans for new years?
Seriously only guy to stick to his fairy words..
