Very impressive. I see lots of time and money involved here. Is this how guys sell weed for $100/oz? I don't think so. I still think the $100/oz weed is mostly labor free outdoor weed. I would pass out if i saw your light bill.

Nope not here , 100$ oz of high test .
Outdoor is half that.
People are going to need to be doin 1.5 - 2 gpw to keep up, or it’s not worth the time.

Great job!Nice and clean.

Im new so some questions if you dont mind.

This BM6 is soil?

Im interested in your opinion of the GG4.I have a clone in rdwc that seams to really like/need calmag.Is this normal?

Thanks,

The BM6 HP is a soiless mix like Sunshine or Promix, peat based. I prefer the Berger BM6 HP because its cheaper, never got a bag of bugs with it and the pH is always right (had some sunshine that had too much lime in it and it threw me for a loop) The 6 in the BM6 stands for the mix pH. I have tested bales at 5.8 to 6 fresh so they do well.

I love GG4. It's fire weed, yields above average for sure. I have always had to give it a little cal mag but no more than other strains I have grown. If you keep that pH at 6.5 for soiless feeds you shouldn't have any problems with her.

Good luck with your grow and be sure to share your results with us! :)

yes of course,for some reason i was thinking soiless is hydro.

what strength of food do girls that big get?

Yeah I used to think that too but once I raised my pH the plants looked so much happier, turns out the soiless and soil are a buffer so fwiw 6.5 has worked for me. I used to run SoG in flood and drain tables, then went to DWC for a while due to plant count limitations (gotta grow 'em big), and now I'm on soiless for a while. I suppose I get bored and wanna change things up.

I typically feed the big'uns at about at about 1200 to 1250 PPM nutrients before adding the B52. Using RO water it's all good stuff.

Very nice, I’m going to try your watering with 6.5. I usually water right at 6. With some plants I always seem to get lack luster leaves or purple stems without the cooler temps and strains that shouldn’t be turning purple. Why do you think that you’ve seen better results at higher ph? Havr soilless growers been watering at a ph too low? I’m going to give it a try because peat is acidic anyways

I think the soiless mix acts as a buffer like soil thus the need for the higher pH. I think there has always been a debate on the proper pH for soiless. Give it a try maybe on just one plant...

Here's a good article on ph in a peat based soilless mix. It's the calcium carbonate (alkalinity) in your water that will affect the ph of your medium. The ph of the water doesn't matter so much. Ask long as you don't have a ton of carbonates in you're water the medium will buffer the ph for you.

Berger products are great and cheap. Nice to see someone else using it around here.
