I'm having trouble finding flowering range for the top dawg chem lines.
From what I've read its 65-70 days for chems, but what's everyone finding with their grows? Any quirks like forevor flowering or never done type stuff?

I'm smoking them at 8, 9, 10 weeks too. I like the 9 week(from flip) the best. i see full on milk solid and only a few ambers peppering about at this time. 10 weeks is good too no worries, many more ambers just too slacked jawed effect for me/us.

I'll probably let Onycd 3.0 go 10. I need a knock down couch lock psyco-coma strain for Christmas. Full on lobotomized so I can handle all the CHEER! lol

The Whole world turns into a really bad extra long tv commercial at Christmas!
Me and mine usually shelter in place and eat good food.
In-laws bring homemade wine made with Nanking cherries, usually that keeps me sedated and hibernating

Yeah whats up with that cause its old or what
I am not exactly sure??
It might be too old?
I don't know enough about peat, how it's harvested, if it's composted or sent out fresh dried?
But my feeling is, it's too young. Not broken down enough, and not ready for plant life.
But that's just a guess.
Either way, I poke a small hole in the bag a give a sniff.
Store people might not be too stoked, but at $50 a cube, I don't care what they might think.
If it smells sour, or I'm not positive, I move on to the next!
Can't tell visually, could be damp or dry, loose or tight.
But you can also kind of tell by texture, if you don't have a good sniffer.
It should be very fluffy, soft, and airy.
If it's dry, crusty, and coarse, wouldn't get it.

guess I been lucky . I never sniffed a bag of pro mix before the buy. I buy two at a time(36$ ea) and have never had an issue with spoilage. 25 bucks a cube if I drive to the greenhouse supply for the pro mix. always been dry felt the same and performed like gold

I have a Super City outperforming every TD chemdawg line I have to date. All other TD are in danger of culling now for this gem.
Super Skunk x ONYCD. Every female is a keeper, no variegation, strong nose, wrist size xmas tree bud growth, early frost, and gnats pass over her for the HSO chem 91's(also on their way out )

I like Nectar soil but use Roots Organic mostly. I have yet to get yields in soil like I am used to with DWC.
I'td be awesome if I could clone and then grow in the sAme bucket.
then hydro would be doable, and I'd run mothers in soil while putting clones in 12/12 right away for breeding.

If I can get the organic thing dialed in, then will I have earned the right to try hydro Imho

I used to think the same until I vegged longer. I now see any yield is possible if resources are provided. I fully agree though, my dwc, ebb/flow/top feed and any other hybrid hydro vegged faster for sure. once my vegging menu caught up it didnt matter. Now I find topping necessary in veg anyways, not for the bush but because they are too tall for my resources in that room.

i bubbled buckets, aero, flooded but my first store bought system was a bigfoot low profile flood/drain, fit perfectly in 2x4 tents. I had two of them and bought two Technaflora grow kits and the whole thing blew my mind it was so productive with awesome results under 400 mh veg 600 hps flower. I had 12 different strains at once going in each. the system was spot on if not fun even, I'd always mixed my basal salts by hand prior to this, afraid to go to a hydro store or shop online(who cares now right)

If I didnt expand I prolly would have stuck with exactly that and never looked back. nope, had to build bigger trays, bigger rooms, bigger floods, atmosphere controllers, moving lights, electricians, et al........never had plant issues until hydro organic but sure got wet sometimes.

i settled on a 485 t5 fixture in veg and several hps/mh 1k in flower. I still play with one light mover for a sweet MH experience in finish area. My trek towards growing organic style began right after i figured I perfected my game in the rooms. first I halfheartedly planted some promix x organicare grow in some buckets with my favorite(at the time) strain because someone suggested it.

then I bought every bottled organic juice nutrients I could find, Iguana comes to mind, but there were a few others, not many.
they each had their let downs, stink, deficiencies, root rot(in my flood/drain, so I tried top feeding with these bottles and was left wanting again. I really wanted organic hydro mostly cuz I had it down right at this time. here came one small issue after another...but there grows my favs in those damned buckets, next to the rest of the successful bottled salt hydro stars. veg was slower, so what they were ready.

I read the package of nutrients and flowered them buckets all at the same time after following directions(this time)
80 days later I packed up my hydro for good mostly. I weaned myself off the bottle and never looked back. these buckets produced the very best herb I ever had in my life, and my hydro was rocking it with no complaints. they still do and I've made no changes in yrs. in flower, and skip the fert in veg for fish powder and foliar apps. pro mix x organicare for the win in flower imo

Yea, vegging longer and bigger flowering pots with more thoughtful training is the answer. It has been quite the adjustment going from DWC to soil but while the yields have been smaller the buds have tasted and smoked a lot better.

@morgwar I went the opposite way. lol. I started in hydro and have just recently started going with soil. I still keepba few plants in dwc buckets. It really helps speed up a slow strain like OGKB which is one I have in dwc right now.

LOL, as long as you seek refinement in you're method, you can't go wrong!
Big yields are possible in soil, which I hope to soon demonstrate (fingers and toes crossed lol):mrgreen:

Guavas going into their final pots today.

So far I'm 4/5 females and I'm almost positive the last to sex is going to be girl as well.

Kinda disappointed :-(

I was hoping for at least one or two males to play around with (getcher heads outta the gutter you pervy Rollituppers :P)
