I do things simply.
ProMix HP straight out of the bag, nothing added so i dont know about adding extra lime, etc.
Its been a while but from what i remember off the top of my head they were easy plants to grow. They seemed to handle the nutrients very well at the levels i feed. I would say if you start to see any leaf damage you are probably pushing them too hard and should back off.
If i was doing another one from seed i would use Uncle Bens Topping method to get 2-4 colas and not do any pruning.

I've been following u for a while and I'm wondering do u grow and document any other gear besides greenthumb and do the medi plant have good light penetration or is it a bush?

I believe it's cross with ghost og it just look color wise like og bubba
I'm have to look that up I have heard many people speak good about uncle Ben I read the info he had on not using bloom nukes expect for the beginning for the roots I also use Jacks I mix bloom and veg at a 50 50 you care to share your method I would love to get the results you do I noticed since I have been using cheaper soil the potency seemed to decrease I have had excellent results with sunshine mix #4 think in try some of that HP it's slim picking on soil around here and online kills you with the shipping

Ive done a few others. I had a mixed garden journal going with stuff from various breeders but i don't always journal everything i do.
Medi was a bit of both....that why i would do the Uncle ben thing on it next time. They can be trees with huge yields if treated correctly.

When it comes to growing Uncle Ben knows his stuff but on just about any other topic, he has his head so far up his ass that you can smell it from here.
My method in a nutshell-
Drain to Waste Method
Soilless media like Promix, or coco, Etc.
Feed with nutrients every time you water but at lower doses. 200-400 ppm. Sometimes i give straight water if the plant looks like its healthy and giving it more could cause problems.
Ph to 5.7.
I use Jacks Classic because its good, inexpensive, and it has the proper N-P-K ratios. Don't waste your money on expensive nutes marketed to the MJ community....its a rip off.
Keep a close eye on leaf health and adjust nutrients accordingly. Flush plants in the first week of flower and again about halfway through the grow.....do it again later if it needs it.
Thats about it.
One key tip. If you see leaf damage take special note as to where on the plant it started...top or bottom, etc. That will tell you a lot about what your problem is.
Major and secondary nutrient deficiencies start at the bottom and go up......micro nutrients deficiencies start at the top and go down.
Burnt tips and edges are usually a result of salt build up and needs to be flushed.

oops I posted by accident so let me finish I also use pro mix HP and I'm saying all of this to say I should get similar results as you now the medi plant should be topped? Yeah I agree from your monsters size they get entirely too tall. I think I read uncle ben's method of topping something bout the fourth node this was years ago. How r ur medi plants doing now? How tall are they I thought maybe put them in at 2 1/2 feet instead of 3 feet like last time because it's seems like you had great light penetration but obviously if you top they start to Bush out do you think that would change your light penetration therefore change your yield? The other question I have for you was what other gear that you grew out that impressed you as much as Bubba og or the ESD ? LOL think hard because I trust your opinion Racerboy Ohmothersativa uncle Ben and kushaholic so I wanna get this right have u ever tried Cali connection? What's ur verdict?

Let the others chime in about those breeders like calli conection. I just don't know.
If you do Uncle Bens method you will cut just above the 2nd node. This will release dormant hormones and you will get 4 main colas instead of just one.
Its great for keeping stretchy plants in check and could increase your yield.
The one i have going now is very manageable but it was cut and topped because it was a mother plant. Its only about 3-4 feet tall.
Doc's Chemdawg and Trainwreck, are just two that impressed the hell out of me. He has a lot of other good stuff as well.

Well said let me ask you this is there a big difference between chemdawg number 4 and his East sour diesel and is ur medi plant in flowering
I can not tell you first hand about doc because this is the first time I ran his gear
I can't say about docs gear because this is my first time running his gear I am not the one to bash people but I do not really care for Cali connection their sour dis to me seemed like a knockoff and their og and Bubba are not even close to the real deal everywhere I have read said when it comes to the true elites doc is your best bet but as far as some breeders I like that I have worked with sannies has some pretty killer gentics and is pretty cheap at the same time if you like the old school jack he has a f7 that is pretty damn spot on his purple Storm is their version of God bud get some pretty cool colors but seems to lack potency killing fields is awesome gets so purple after the cure it almost looks black one more indica one more sativa if you find the green pheno it has a really nice gas smell to it but undertones of fruit... I am running his mad now but to early to tell . Samsara is also good and cheap. Elqustino is really good I it is a hybrid of ak47 and northern lights don't get love potion it is a nice plant but it's high is weak and doesn't last
I can't say about docs strains because this is my first time running his gear. I don't like saying negative things about people but I can say from one smoker to another I was very disappointed with their gear hermies on at least half I have never have this happen with other breeders. Thier sour d was staight poop no wear close to the real deal ran clones three times after to make sure it was not grower error . Thier Bubba and og Def is not the real deal. The only one that was worth running to me was the green Crack only as a daytime smoke not that strong but did test well. I would personally stay away from Cali conn and hso I think they could be linked because I got the same thing with them hso blue dream was OK but that's about it. If you like that old school jack sannies has the real deal it's a f7 but it's pretty damn spot on. I also love his killing fields the purple pheno gets so purple after the cure it looks black the green pheno smells like petroleum and fruit. Those impressed me alot. Samsara has elquniso which impressed me it's ak47 and northern lights huge colas not alot of leaf easy to trim very potent. Smells like skunk and fruit. Up high followed by a nice strong body high. Rare dankess has some really nice gear the ghost haze og is very impressive easy to grow nice haze with a hint of og. That's why I really Wana try this medi it's the same gentics but with Chem in Thier can only make it better. I have always wanted to try doc gear but for us poorer folks the prices are a little high but he offers the real deal elites from what I hear. Another reason I am hype about the medi 10 for a 100 is a awesome deal only ten a pop. Thier are alot more I like I will chime in with later cause I also like to mix things up a bit I found most breeders are the best in certain strains. Thanks for that info gruber. I thought about doing coco heard you have to use a lot of calls mag to it though. Do you know if it gets treated the same as the hp?

Lol it's cool I enjoy reading information yeah I've only tried dr greenthumb and kens cut granddaddy purple. You are spot on drgt genetics are elite even the strains I didn't particularly like we're still amazing looking and you made a hell of a point and actually made my decision based on the fact that ironically my runner ups were Tahoe OG Larry OG ( Cali connection) but we all have heard those negative blemishes about their gear true or not I've heard so much I don't want to take a chance The other was ghost train og haze or the medi plant which as you so intellectually brought to the forefront they are essentially the same thing with chemdawg my favorite plant!!! Thanks bro
No worries glad I can help

They are in the same ballpark but i find them to be different. ECSD is pure fuel. Chem is pure pinesol. Both seem to almost be emitting fumes when you grind them up.
SD smells more in flower. Chem smell really comes on at harvest.
SD is more trippy.
Chem is more social.
Hey OMS....do you agree?
My medi is in flower...i posted a picture one page back.
Man I wish I could run that ecsd does the Chem smell bad enough that it can't be contained easily I read up some of uncle Bens stuff I see what u saying a know it all cocky snob lol he does have some interesting info though is the drain 2 waste like a passive hydro? You do not have to add cal mag? I also use Jacks good stuff for cheap only time I used them fancy nukes is when I was doing d.w.c I like hydro but it's hard to take care of its needs because I am at work alot. That pH can be a pain in the ass especially in late flower they eat like crazy constantly have to adjust pH ec ....ect . I only did it a couple times then went back to good old dirt however the c99 exploded in their compared to the sunshine mix.

sorry cali is too genetically unpredictable for me...i have tried
doc's chem d is an all around pefect plant...can be contained
use a carbon filter like normal ..its ok
Ben is a pia but i agree with his fert regimen
