HydroRed's Horticultural Whorehouse

[Jemhidiahssj4]

After grumbling about GLG in a previous post, I feel like an asshole now. Got my order in today and they hit me with 5 freebies (Cookie Wreck x Long Bottom Leaf) on top of the bogo of Bodhi packs and swagged me out with a kief container and some stickers. Needless to say I'm now eating crow and the sting from how long it took to arrive is gone lol

This is what I have finally chosen for my REG seed run:
View attachment 4058628
"California Cannon" by Greenpoint Seeds ((Tahoe OG Kush x Stardawg))
"Ace High" by Greenpoint Seeds ((Lemon G x Stardawg))
"Girl Scout Cookies" Bagseed ((personal favor))
"Solo's Stash" by Bodhi ((HPK x Snow Lotus))
"Mothers Milk" by Bodhi ((Nepali OG x Appalachia))
"Plaza Boss" by @shorelineOG ((TX Roadkill x Shoreline))
"Roadkill Master" by Shoreline OG ((Master Kush x TX Roadkill))


I need to try it out sometime too. One of the few "hydro" mediums I haven't played around with yet.

No worries brother post away. As long as folks stay civil Im good.

Knew you would be happy with the GLG order, you have to expect delays when its a huge promo going on around Christmas with a smaller quality oriented operation and the USPS is swamped with the Amazon deal. I look forward to some grow reports of the new additions especially the Solo's Stash as I picked that up on the BOGO.

Literally the day after I grumbled they came in the mail haha
I just got everything wet last night. Shouldnt be long to see what I'll get.

 

[ChaosHunter]

It always works that way lol. I made two big "for me" orders a couple years ago from over seas. It took close to a month but they can in. Green point has been quick for me also.

 

[HydroRed]

I made a seedsman order and it was enough alone to keep me stocked for half a lifetime. I keep saying Im done buying seeds but I think we all know how that works lol

 

[Greenthumbs256]

I had 5 dollars on bit coin left over from my last seedsman order now I have like 32 dollars I'm letting it build back up for another free order!

 

[Greenthumbs256]

At this rate by next year I'll be able to place a 200$ order free of cost execpt the 5 bucks I left in there!

It was probably even better about 10 days ago though huh?

A haze fan eh? Been some years since I've had a good haze (SSH to be exact). I think odds are in your favor on an order like that for finding at least 1 keeper out of the bunch. Stellar list PDB. Now I gotta throw together a list real quick lol

Yea it jumped a few days ago but still steady climbing I wish I could have invested more!

I'll bet the best of the bunch turn out to be mother's milk and California cannon. I grew out Sky Pilot and it turned out ok, but compared to others in my stable, it couldn't stick around. One problem is that it took 10 weeks to finish, not 8 or 9. That's a big factor for me in strains I grow because i dont use mother plants, but rather take clones off the current ones that are about to be flipped. If I recall, I also grew out hortilab's Sour star at the same time. It was pretty good too- grew really nice and agressively, but couldn't match the quality I got from Sour Power. I've got some unopened beans of Stardawg IX, and I'm not sure if or when I'll ever pop them. That 10 weeks to finish is awfully difficult to manage in a perpetual grow with my setup. My current best strains overall are Black Mamba #5, #4 (purple 9 week pheno), Lucky Charms, GG4, and Sour Power. Grease Monkey is almost done too, but may not yield well enough over the BM to take up more space over it, or the others. Vader OG looks good and is almost finished too, but looks like a strain that would have to be run in high numbers and density to get a decent yield. Also have 6 Citral Glue from Ethos which just got flipped to 12 n 12 tonight. I have high hopes for that one, but like everything else, only time will tell. Sorry to ramble, I just wanted to throw out some info on that Stardawg cross because I've seen your fast flip into flower and wanted to give you a heads up on the 10 week finish mine had.

Ironically my Mamba 4 was my prize....here are my last pics before harvest.....

Anyone else have an issue with trying to root clones under cob led lighting?
So far I'm not having the best of luck with rooting clones under my cob lighting. Since I have switched lights in my momma room from the T5's, I have had a huge failure rate. Im not doing anything different than what Ive been doing other than the lighting.
I use ( 8 ) CREE CXB3070 BB 3500K on ( 2 ) hlg185H-c1400B drivers but dimmed down less than half. 4x4 room temps are at 78*F and RH in room is 50-55%
Currently rooting clones in a dome and tray with rapid rooter plugs. Im on my 3rd tray with very little sucess under these lights (avg 3-4/10).
These 3 trays were my first attempts at rooting clones under the COB lighting, so any help or input is appreciated before I switch back to the T5's.

 

[ChaosHunter]

I have a little sun blaster T5 18in that fits my dome, cuts into rooting powder and jiffy pellets. I only switched to LED after sprouting or rooting. Sorry no help Red.

Hard to beat a little t5 56k or CFL for cloning. If it isn't broke don't fix it. FYI I tried making a bubble cloned and the jiffy or rock wool seem to work better for me, go figure.

 

[HydroRed]

I was worried about my t5's not being enough to really veg everything under, but I think Im gonna run my t5's again, get these clones rooted, then switch back to the COBs to veg the next run/mommas. I just need to ensure I get at least 1 of these 8 GG4 clones to root to ensure I keep a momma around.

 

[ChaosHunter]

T5 for getting them going and then to LED for pre veg. I've had some plants in the past that just wouldn't clone or clone well.

is megacrop fairly PH stable in your reservoir? and no issues with clogging lines or anything? do you run plain water after feeding or anything like that to clear lines out?

its been very stable for me in tap water. I get just enough ph drift from 5.7-6.3 to cover all bases for nutrient uptake inbetween top offs. As for clogging lines or anything like that -none. I mixed up the initial amount to be used in my res all by itself in a 1 gal jug of water and it broke down like tea after about a 30-45 second shake-up. No granules,chunks,or anything like that. Theres literally nothing to block lines, drippers, pump filters etc. It runs like water. For my res top offs, I've been feeding full recommended strength at every res change (every 2 wks) then top off with only fresh pH adjusted water until the next res change. This method has been very rewarding for me so far in my hydro setup.
I also wanted to add that the salt buildup has been very minimal compared to any 3 part I've ever used.

I've been running my t5s and using clonex pulled roots in about 8 days, I couldn't believe it. Just planted one on a solo cup today! I will never change, well maybe but I'm happy as a fat kid in a Candy store right now!

 

[HydroRed]

Its about that time....
I had 100% germination on 20 beans. California Cannon and Plaza Boss were the most vigorous of the bunch when it comes to germination.

Same as Red, My tap water is 40-60PPM and I run a 8 gal rez. My PH is fairly stable compared to other nute lines. I run Hydro halos on a DTW setup, the halos have small holes and there is some salt buildup but not as much as running GH Maxi.

This is where I'm at about 28 hrs since my last picture post.
Seems everything is popping off but the Bodhi gear. Lets hope they are just "fashionably late".


Table #2 Kosher Kush w/Mega Crop
36 days since 12/12
38 days since transplant
They should begin swelling up and getting big any day now.
PPM slowly and steadily declining & pH holding pretty tight allowing just the right amount of ph swing (about 0.2) inbetween topping off the res every couple days. I havent had to adjust to res so much as I have the water Im using from tap to top the res off. Its been a very beneficial relationship between the two allowing me to make little adjustment overall.
Res change scheduled for a week from today which will be my final res change until harvest.
Mega Crop has made it too easy even for a simple old stoner like me.
