Hey Flo, really nice grow mate :)
do you reckon the uvb light helped with trich production? Those buds looks sooooo frosty!!

eastcoastmo?? i'm confused in your name?! guess your a noobie.....welcome to my thread mate!

yes i KNOW the UVB helped with trich production, on mainly 3 large colas that were closest which was my main goal anyway, clearly at the tips of the colas, the trichs are extremely densely packed almost to the point of not being able to see any bud at all. I have kept these 3 colas only intact and whole, so i know which they are, once they are dry maybe some comparing shots will be in order...at the moment with everything drying i'm very meticulous and try not to disturb ANYTHING while it dries, i don't like to bump, smudge or handle the buds it may cause early degradation of the trichs, which i have seen before if you rub or squish them. they are in perfect temp/climate drying very slowly.
I was going to plant my new jack tonight but i forgot to buy a couple of things!

Hey mate, yeah i'm new to the board and the name is more to do with a moustache than my name lol. I live on east coast of Oz but slightly inland. Cheers for the welcome :)
Thanks for the detailed reply too, can't wait to see the pics of the trichs. I'm playing with the idea of getting a uvb light myself. My seeds have only just popped though so its a while off! You seem to more than know what you're doin too, its great to watch!

Hey FM, congrats on another monster. My question is about the Cyco nutes. I put together my first hydro set up as an experiment following your set up. I have been using General Hydroponics nutes with good results, but as a result of my inquires about Cyco at my local grow shop the owner has given me a complete Cyco starter kit less two weeks of veg nutes. He had complaints that the product slimed his system two weeks in a row. He runs an under current system. Have you experienced this? Is that why you flush every week? I am considering changing to the Cyco products, any input you could give is greatly appreciated.

I'll start with Thanx man!!
I believe the Zyme is the culprit for the slimyness, and it's not necessary either. especially if already using base nute (grow/bloom) I think zyzme is more suited for run to waste or soil type mediums...perhaps coco as well. They also say it okay to use , the slimy stuff only comes around towards the end of the week, but it's not something that i like the feel of cleaning out each week. I have had 100% better results eliminating Zyme, and sticking with the base and maybe B1 boost and silica as additives to help cell structure and extra leaf health. I'm no expert, but reading what certain things do what i have worked out my own little feeding schedule now, and try to read the plant. Go for cyco man, give it a try, you may be quite impressed, the reason i think some people have issues, maybe cyco has changed a few ingredients around slightly i dont know, but it seems some don't like to mix. Silica is one that i noticed actually formed semi-solids if you had added all other addidtives and left the silica till last....so i mix that in first, give it a good stir, and then can follow through with my base, and whatever additive.
I believe in flushing every week, it keeps it clean, fresh and you know the plant always has a good amount of fresh food to uptake. I notice a difference, some don't....but i never ever have bad tasting erb, if it's sparkling with heaps of resin, it usually tastes good.

OOOOhhh yeah :) sounds great!, nice plan curly, and i'm sure you won't forget! just remember if you had a double tent like this you could have 2! and you could pull 3lb every 3 months :) or if you have the time grow 1 big girl and stretch her right out to the side of a bigger tent, it's possible don't you worry about that, and i'm sure you won't forget, such an easy system to play with and anything that makes it less work and more fun is a bonus!! I totally agree that 1 plant is less hassle, and still VERY manageable. I don't know about you guys but the pics on the pc make it look kinda small, up close she's a BIG plant.....well was hehe.

oh yeah....and i'm sure you won't forget .
i'm sure you won't forget .

wasting no time flo! :) bloody awesome

bit of clay on the top this time?
Click to expand...
I couldn't help myself Gorbzzz, had 2 little girls sitting there , only drying up in the perlite, i was soo surprised that they were alive actually , i have been sort of caring for them, making sure they have water every few days, i got 2 little holes in the foam that allow me to water them and 'flush' kinda so i had really nice healthy white roots, one being a bit taller and had heeeaps more roots, so i chose that as the stems were still short, and heaps of nodes to branch out with. The other had some very uneven stems, and kinda looks less suitable for what i wanted. i still have it if i happen to be less stoned some time and remember to take a pic i will, i might setup a tiny little mini recirc system and keep her alive while i do my other girl, that way i might be able get a little clone tent happening. Anything could happen then!

oh the clay on top. my feed line is a bit thicker rubber, and weighed a bit more, it would of pulled my feed-ring out of the perlite, so the clay is just there was stability. Looks kinda cool though, serves 0 purpose really hydroton/perlite will act as the same thing. I actually have about 6-7 inches of hydroton on the bottom cause i didn't have enough perlite, but it will be fine.
