Hmm...That's the densest and largest I have. I started trying to trim and if I chop all the loose sugar leaves then there's not much of anything left. Definitely for personally use only here I'm afraid.

Most of my gdp x BB is like that as well.
I just left extra sugar leaf on it.
I think that one was not close enough to the light, and the drying conditions here werent great with 20-30% humidity and 75-86*

Sounds like what I'm seeing... what was the main difference between the two phenos? looks like the spear shaped ones will take longer

Void I wouldn't turn it to hash it'll go quicker because of hash yields. i think they needed a week or two more as well they really swell up the last couple of weeks i think if you'd have taken them to 10 weeks you woulda gotten substantially better yield. Also i had a lot lower yields last time with no in ground nutes I really think they help on the LED grows makes sure the plant always has the nutrition it needs.

You should grab a pot's worth of super soil from me and try one plant in it for comparison :)

I need to get my composting farm started.

What is the difference in compost tea and worm tea considering what's left after a worm bin is considered compost.

Also I need to check nutrient levels of the liquids from black soldier fly and bokashi composting

I thought I was only given one phenotype. If I was given two I only have one left for now.

The romulan and blueberry got solid under my led. Either nutes or longer time I guess. I need a few PVC pieces tomorrow and think I'll be ready to start again.

This time more bloom nutes, less nitrogen. Cutting off lower branches. Better lst. No leaving the light off for several days. And possibly running longer if need be

They're both compost teas one's just EWC tea and the other isn't but they're both compost teas still :)

There were originally 2 apollo cuts i liked one a bit better than the other but they were both pretty similar. No idea which one this is. The one I liked I think was a touch more fatter indica leaves in veg than the other. One of'em yielded 1/2 oz better than the other too.

So the fertilizer says one to two teaspoons per gallon. Last grow I was giving all 4 plants combined one gallon. Once maybe twice a week. Maybe that was the problem.

How many gallons would you put per plant of my size or how much in my 8 gallon grow bed?

I saw someone say you should water 20% of your pot volume and I've been sticking to that mostly this grow and it's worked pretty well. Seems to be enough to make sure the plant gets enough but not enough to overwater. On my smaller pots I go a little over 20% once roots are really well developed and a little less than 20% on my 8 gallon. So 8 gallons should be around 1.5-2g per water depending on how dry the dirt is.

Well you'd know better than me :) but if it wasn't getting enough water the roots would've grown shallow as well so that could affect it too (lower root volume = smaller buds)

I water enough that they dont need water for about 3-4 days.
With powder GH 1 tsp Maxigrow to 1 gall is 400ppm approx plus ppm of water.
I go for a lil runoff mot much but enough to make sure the soil is evenly wet
Dep on strain feed-feed-water or feed-water-feed and dosage varies as well

Or then there's me... feed feed feed feed... but i'm always feeding low doses not big nutes i guess it's more like scoobie snack scoobie snack scoobie snack

Tonight topdressing high P indonesian bat guano powder in... got a new pH too... online source says 7.2 is ideal pH for phosphorous absorption... so i'll be pHing to 7.2 from now on for the flower girls.... i'm fine if it makes N a bit less available at this point :) I still only have one plant yellowing at almost end of week 6. Pretty psyched... end of week 6... that means it's time for the ENPLUMPENING! Can't wait to see the buds on these girls get 2-3x bigger over the next 3 weeks :) if i don't get buds as big around as my forearm like last time I'm gonna be disappointed since these plants have been even healthier than that time ;)

This chart is what I used to see if I am lacking anywhere

That chart backs up what I said 100% in terms of P :) 7.2 is right in the middle of that bar -- the source I read though says that 7.2 is the ideal pH for P absorption (due to some technical reason having to do with ions I can't really remember to explain because i barely even understood it ;) ) and the farther you get away from 7.2 in either direction, the less P is in a usable form to the plant. From what I read if what I did tonight has a pretty noticable effect it means P availability to the plant in the soil is low - medium... if nothing at all happens P absorption/availability in the soil is close to ideal. We'll see. Of course like I said it's already the enplumpening time anyway, so they may start getting noticably bigger anyway... I can already see them fattening anyway and they could definitely already have as much P as they need... but I had this stuff lieing around and wouldn't mind seeing it make a difference either :)

I was just trying to show, that there is a chance of manganese and iron def at 7.2ph
I have heard that a slight ph swing can be good.
Like maybe if you have dolomite lime in the soil and ph to 6.5 it will rise up to over 7 and support the whole range that way.
I have never done this, but have heard this from one of the MMJ fert companies tech line

My tub is only 6 inches deep to start with so they can't go very deep, though they were growing into the perilite below them a little bit.

@bass was that the dosage you were using? 1 tsp per gallon?

@reef I thought you said you didn't use bat guano


When I went to pull the stem and root up earlier to clean out the tub, everything wanted to come out. It was like a solid mat. Had to break up all the roots and left them in there

search thread results absolutely blow. Tried searching for posts made by bassman999 on here and most recent it turned up was for 2012


Trying to find the link to the cheap grow tents but search won't pull it up, so page by page going back.

No luck so far
