Hydro Nutrient Challenge

I would like to do a Hydro Nutrient Challenge.

Here is my proposal.

I will furnish the seeds,
so we are all growing the same strain.

We will all grow DWC
since it is cheap and universal.

We will start on Jan 1 2009

It will be winter,
so temp should not be a problem.

You must use RO

You must have a good pH meter.

You should have at least one hydro grow,
preferably DWC.

We will veg for 6 weeks,
or 18 inches,
whichever occurs first.

We will try to use similar lighting,
either 400hps or 600hps
Hopefully we can all invest in new bulbs
and use the same brand.

We will all keep a grow journal,
and you must be able to include pictures.

At the end of the grow,
we will swap some budz,
for flavor and effect comparison testing.

I will grow AN and DM nutes,
and you can use other types,
like GH, BC whatever....
or the same as me,
in fact, having two separate grows
with the same type of nutes
would be a very good control.

Any Test Pilots out there?

About 10 growers or so,
would be great.

If you haven't grown DWC yet,
Get started!,

Ya got about 6 months
to get that first grow
under your belt.

I would prefer you use photobucket.com,
to post your pix,
so we don't have to click on the screen,
but grow pictures of some kind are a must.

Get a bucket, & a camera,
and get started today.

Let's do some science.

A photo like this will show you are serious,
and that you have "the right stuff".


After you post the pix of your grow stuff here,
send me a PM for more details.

This offer is good until December 2008

i think i'd like to take a stab at it!

so earl...this is my question i was talking about....

do i have to do true dwc?

i've been wanting to try nature's nectar...and this challenge may give me an excuse to go try that line....according to their directions...i shouldnt aerate the res.

must i aerate my res inorder to enter the challenge and call it true DWC?

i use canna aqua vega part a and b
is this ok for my plants which are in soil

I would be up for it, I use General Hydroponics 3 part, with AN Big Bud & Overdrive.

If you think you can grow without air,
and you use the Mfg directions,
then you will qualify.
Show me what you got.

If you are growing in real soil (dirt)
then you should not use hydro nutes.

You will probly get nute burn,
and the pH will be off.

Good luck.

You might find better response in a forum for organic,
or outdoor growing,
since those guys will be more familiar
with the way your are growing.

Seach organic marijauna, and outdoor marijuana.

Hey Earl count me in bud I currently am using DM gold now but I want to give Bcuzz nutrients a try. I use a drip for veg and a ebb and flow for flower is that ok?

do you all even read?

Sorry dude,
you must meet all the requirements
listed in the first post.
.

Hey Earl, I just got my first grow under my belt with dwc using technaflora nutes. the only thing is I'm using a 400 mh , is that ok? and by the way what strain are you thinking of growing?

I crossed a fast growing, stinky, Purple Cindy male,
to a White Widow,
=
Widow Cindy

sounds tastey, you can count me in if I can use my 400 mh.

If you are serious,
please re-read the first post,
and comply with the request made in it,
at the end.

This is going to be very entertaining to watch------can't wait till you guys get to the " 6 weeks of flush part "-------------my moneys on EARL for this one--------------7/2 odds.

What are you waiting for?
Get a bucket and start growing now.
Then you'll be qualified to join us in Dec.

Show me a pix like this.
