looking for a hydro grower!

I'm trying to find someone that grows in hydro, and has one of the same cuts as I do! and that wouldn't mind running a comparison with me!

granted there would be some certain stipulations bc I am looking for a comparison on certain things! other major important thing, would be that this hydro grower, must have your stuff dialed in 100%

if anyone is interested let me know, and I'll share more info thanks guys!

also there isn't any prizes or any kind of competition, just trying to get a comparison for my own personal reasons! I wouldn't mind compensating someone something reasonable for the help! but keep in mind, I am on the poor side lol

Coco in small pots makes it easy to give different conditions.Bit of a pain mixing different nutes at small amounts but worth the time.

Run the test yourself,at any given time i have the same cutts in different systems /nutes.You^ll learn a lot.

sadly, I don't know shit about hydro, and I don't have any of the equipment, like i said it's a must the the person have their stuff dialed in, even if I was to learn and get everything, no telling how long it would take me to have it dialed in and not screwing everything up!

my whole reasoning behind this, is bc I'm sure you hydro guys Will agree that hydro is a lot faster than any organics! well I may be able to prove that isn't true! been working a an experiment using sip pots, and probiotics! and I'm fairly certain I can beat the growth of hydro, but with the benefits like taste of organics! not to mention it cost me a fraction of the cost it runs you guys! and the absolute minimum amount of work is insane!

the cost alone it would take me to get a single plant in hydro, just isnt worth it, I have no intention of switching to hydro, just want to see if this method will beat the growth rate of hydro! that's all! and maybe even a yield comparison!

Yes i saw your grow,looks great.GG4 I have the same strain.Its by far better then any other strain I have,likes everything I give it.

with that being said, I have other cuts that I've hunted myself, if it came down to it, and I couldn't find anyone, I wouldn't mind sending one of them out, to get this done!

no one can forbid me from giving out cuts that I pheno hunted myself!

lol good point, I've got Josey whales gg4, and also jbeezy wedding cake, those are the two I'd prefer to do the test with! I have others, but I'd much rather run them!

well Im day 9 into flower with mine,gg4 but no idea if its the same.
5 gallon bucket ,top feed 2 air stones.Pretty basic,easy to run.

check this out, let me know of it looks anything like this, one big give away, is the classic leaf curl that it gets! if you can't tell, then sadly it's probably not the legit cut! anyone that has it understands almost immediately when they see it, and run the real cut!

really long thread, but if this interests you, I think it's a great read! but take the beginning with a grain of salt, I've changed alot, and most info on the first few pages have been changed!

I have his GG#4. I selfed it and am running 6 of them right now. They are at roughly 6 weeks. I've been deliberately slowing them down because I wanted to self a table of Pre98 BK prior to flowering them. Your room running a side by side is the only way you'll be able to prove this to yourself. It needs to be run with clones. Further simply stating organic can be quicker than hydro isn't a falsifiable argument. There are to many way to do both of them. You'd have to be extremely specific about your domain. I'd be willing to bet @ANC could finish them faster than they'd really find their feet in organic.

But the question you ask is the beginning of the research path. Get a little Coco and the GH Flora series and some of their CaliMagic and do a small side by side. It's relatively cheap and you will learn a lot.

PS My youngsters are already showing the leaf flip and sessile trichomes I saw on their parent.

Edited to fix typos; need coffee.

if I did that it wouldn't be fair, my sip pots would absolutely smash anything I tried to do! that's really why I'm trying to find a rather advanced hygro grower! since I don't know a dam thing about hydro, or nutes, or even pH for that matter! it wouldn't be a fair comparison! I get Tryin to do this thousands of miles away isn't ideal! but I'm really only looking to be able to compare growth rates from 2 of the same cuts, from x day until x day! actually wouldn't even start comparing until after a good month in! just bc I only care to measure difference between my sips, and hydro, and it take me a good month or more just to get it into a sip.

from what I've learned hydro is always faster than organics and until I stumbled across this method I'd have to agree! I really just wanna see how it measures up, the way I see it, if I can match or get even close to the growth rates, then to me it would make hydro obsolete! once u factor in the cost of hydro, the amount of work, the fact the organics taste better! the only real benifit I see to running hydro is faster growth, and maybe 1 or 2% on thc when testing it!

plus I feel I must mention, if we were to add up every year of growing experience, from everyone on this site past future and present, added all those years of experience together! it still wouldn't have shit on mother nature's experience! lol and that's exactly what this new method is! I make the perfect environment for life, then I sit back, and let it grow the plant! I don't feed I don't use nutrients! I really don't do a Dam thing, other than topping the rez with plain water and em1, around once every 2 weeks! and have I mentioned how cheap this is...
