Al...many humble and sincere thanks and praises! About to finish a "modified-to-my-space" Fuct perpetual grow. Had a bit of a challenge w acquiring Sweet Tooth but am starting it with Killing Fields to get things running smooth. Quick question...have you heard of the SuretoGrow Arroyo Plugs? They fit into the 3.25 inch net pots and supposedly can be used to root clones and pop straight into pots. They are made from PETE plastic. I have some HAIL from them and am trying it out on some moms at the moment. Just wondering how the texture and water retention holds up to Fytocell.

Hey dankhoe, if you're looking for an 8 week finishing strain KF is probably not the strain you're looking for. Mine went for 11-12 weeks before they were ready. Has anyone here ever tried Top 44? This is a fast finishing strain I have in my perpetual 600 soil box and I think the quality is very good. A nice yielder too considering how fast it finishes.

My perp grow setup is in 8 moveable/quick-connect NFT tubes, which I was going to pilot the Killing Fields cause they were freebie and popping. Sucks to know they took that long. The read on them I thought was 8-9. Oh well, still waiting on my SOL Sweet Tooth from DR. C. Also have Blockhead on the way. Any more info on Top44?

One word: abamectrin (sometimes spelled avamectrin). There is no substitute. Kills spider mites every single time. However, if you ever get a spider mite infestation, the grow op has to be cleaned out totally and vacuumed THOROUGHLY or they'll be back. They're clever little bastards and will hide in the tiniest nooks and crannies. Plants that are heavily infested with spider mite should be put in plastic rubbish bags and disposed of. The plants won't yield well and are not worth saving. If you see just a few (under 50) on one leaf in your op, you MAY be able to save the grow. MAY. AL b fuct

Called the manufacturer of my tds pen meter (nutradip) and asked what conversion scale it was on. He said 700 (or 442) scale but also told me doesn't matter because meters using 500 (or NaCi)scale would read exact same ppm in my res. He says that they have different calibration solution for for different scales of conversion but once calibrated correctly, should have the same readings. He said that the Target brand 1000pm calibration that I was using should be set at 1400 not 1000. This info is conflicting with what I thought tds meters read.

I guess my question is simply put..when I take somones advice on a ppm level should I be asking what conversion factor there using? Thanks Al you rock

My starting ec from the local municipality comes out at. 6. -.7 I compared my last three grows where half the plants received ro and the other half straight tap. The plants grown with ro tested higher in final cannibinoid levels. I think this was due to the high starting EC from the tap effecting nutrient uptake.

Chimera grapefruit x blueberry is basically what Al grows, same mother (clone only sweet pink grapefruit) and BB daddy is different but still from DJ Short, and not backcrossed 4 times. Grows huge single colas in 8 weeks with a nice little stretch.

Hey Al,

Big fan here. I have been getting a harvest every week for years now, based on your grow model.

I have had this problem for a long time now (not with your model, but my hydroponics in general) where I change the water in any one of my reservoirs, add the correct amount of nutrients, set the Ph and the very next day the Ph is up 2.0-2.5 higher. Example, I set it at 5.5 and it is 7.5 the next day. I tested leaving the Ph ridiculously low (4.5) and it is 6.5 the next day.

All three of my reservoirs do it and it doesn't matter if I am doing a bi-monthly drain and fill of the water, or a complete drain, clean, sterilize and rinse that I do once a month. It only does it for the first two or three days after changing the water and then everything is fine until the next water change. I also have to set my PPM on the low side, so it doesn't become too high when I have to add Ph down a few days in a row.

....havest time for the PPP!
...wet= 1704
...estimated dry = (1704 x .25) = 426
...average per plant = (426/20)= 21.3 each
...almost got my elbow! :(

Nicely done TF. Thanks for keeping us posted. Did you veg at all? What is the highest ppm you run in flower? Thx

...thankx, thankx, and thankx! I let my clones run 3 weeks in an aeroponic cloner, then straight into flowerin', so I suppose one could argue that the cuttings do get a lil veg....around wk#2 I bump it up as high as 1.6 EC.
