I had to look up the koolbloom stuff but yeah that looks like a pretty good combination there. I haven't used GH nutes because I heard that they tend to be high in salt content and buildup but other than that I think you should be fine with a good flush at the end to remove any nutes that you can.

P.S. - My PPM has not risen above 0 since I started flushing. House and Garden nutes are soooooo clean that my sample bowls are burning white ash. I mean WHITE, cleaner than pretty much anything I have gotten from the dispensary.

I haven't personally used Great White, I have used Orca and they are pretty similar. I had great results with it so I would say YES YES YES! That is some awesome shit. If you brew some Compost Tea you can get away with using less Great White or Orca because you can breed mychorrizae, fungi, trichoderma, and bacteria in the Tea.

Great White, Earthworm Castings, Distilled water and Molasses. That tea rocks in DWC.

I like the GH, is simple and efficient

I made this clone looks very simply using rapid start, rooted in 6 days



and here the mothers, inernet soil, using plants and micro series growmore calmagic

No molasses for me, that stuff creates too much bio film (the gunk at the bottom of the tea when brewing). I use Compost Tea Catalyst and that has cut the bio film down to almost nothing.

Like a wine snob, just with smoke! A pot snob. I like it. How 'bout a pot star with shows and groupies. on second thought forget the shows.

I was just catching up on the thread and realized why wheels name is wheels..lmaooo when yall were talking about who was gonna carry him up the stairs I laughed hard as hell!! I was thinking of doing a little sample harvest aswell, mostly because I'm broke lol.. but I wanna wait , still too many white hairs.

And to whoever mentioned the smoking of the "sugar leaves" .. lmaooo , jus did that like 30 mins ago, only had a little bud not really enough to roll a joint. I wanted to chop down a bud or two but didn't have the balls . And besides anytime I've smoked wet bud I was always dissapointed, so I just ripped of a few of the frosty leaves and mixed it with my bud smh, it still sucked lol.. when u have more paper than bud life sucks. Maybe tomorrow I might just chop a bud down but I don't wanna disturb the main colas and the bottom branches have almost no bud just white pistols.

Sims - Make sure you dry ANY weed before smoking, whether that means air drying (preferable) or drying in the oven, you will get better burning smoke off of dry bud than the super harsh smoke off of wet bud. Water turns to steam when heated, same thing applies to wet bud, that's one of the reasons it is so harsh.

P.S. - I am 30, I just feel like a dirty old man. :bigjoint:

VERY nice setup and the ladies are looking deeeelish! Just read this whole thread and having 1 fool out of 66 pages is pretty damn good, it makes for a good read. Keep it up and let us know if you hit your yield estimate once everything is dried. I'm just a noob with 2 600 watt setups (tents) in an organic soil mix so can't say much about hydro BUT one thing I'd do different is let em veg a little longer and top/fim them at a young age.

Cheers!

I agree with you 100% on the veg and FIM'ing. The back left plant was vegged a week longer than the others and was also FIM'd. I was using that as a tester for the strain's yield with the FIM technique. I didn't know how much the girls would stretch during flower so that is why there is a lot of room above the canopy. Next time I will veg until they are a foot and a half tall, this time I switched to flower at 1 foot.

I'm guilty of this: Should have flowered sooner and topped them a few nodes back, if you get my drift.... But hey, I'm a noob and you can see the learning curve literally from root to cola. But it's good to know that the whole process from start to finish should take less time next time, with greater results. I'm really diggin' my 'bunny ears' though :D

I have been guilty of the same thing in the past and have seen it happen many times to others. Live and learn. And grow as big as you can without getting too close to that light. :dunce:
