After I examined it more I could see the leaf edges curling and the foxtailing. I’ve had all three of those problems when the colas max out my height space
I got a pound dried and cured from my last harvest with florabloom but I used Hugo’s with 6” by 3” rockwool slabs. It was the best I’ve done since I started 1 1/2 years ago
When I do the side by side comparison I’ll be following the schedules. Usually I up the bloom pretty quickly in early to mid flowering but I never used anything else so that leads me to believe I was making up for a lack of supplements like liquid koolbloom and dry koolbloom
You know what’s really funny? It seems like the whole year I’ve been growing I’ve probably only Used one pint of floranova as opposed to a gallon of florabloom so the Lucas formula really actually makes perfect sense to me
You are wrong sir...there are a million strains and a one size fits all approach does not work. Why do you think the flora series is split into three bottles? Every plant strain requires a different balance of nutrients and splitting up all the nutes gives you the control over the recipe rather...
Honestly I’m looking to replace my caps with the new 6” matrix systems floraflex just came out with. I like how it wicks the water into the rockwool. To me it looks like their new and improved version of the floracap
I have used the 4” and 6” 2.0 caps and I also use the drip shield caps for flowering. It really is a great system. I opted to go without pvc and used hose and air pump manifolds that have the adjustable valves with a regular water pump. I can finely tune flow just like with their system at a...
I’ll clarify...my last grow the plants were shorter so I had plenty of head room so I added the 3” slabs into the Dutch leach tray. That particular batch took a bit longer to ripen and the next batch vegged a little to long and got taller so rather than risk running out of room I opted not to...
At first I had bad luck at best because I was letting the blocks and slabs sit in stagnant drainage water. Once I figured out that the medium needs to drain it’s been smooth sailing. The funny thing is nobody on this forum thought of that. Now I use 6” hugo blocks in 6” by 36” grodan Dutch leach...
ive been growing for a year and 3/4 of that has been strictly done with rockwool. I use floraflex for feeding and floranova/bloom nutes. The last few crops have been excellent but I’ve been doing a bit of research and realized how little I know about this substrate and how to produce the biggest...
You know cutting up stonewool releases those mineral fibers in the air which is not something you want to inhale...very similar to asbestos. Your body can’t expel stone fibers.
No problem dude, I would say wait until you’ve got a couple grows under your belt and you’ve already had practice training plants. I had several grows before attempting it and still snapped branches and made mistakes. Of course it sort of works out in the end anyway it’s just a bit technical and...
Thanks for the reassurance and good vibes guys. The best bud I’ve grown/smoked was raspberry cough and both of these strains have similar attributes to the raspberry cough so I’m super excited. They are already growing crystals which was just how the raspberry cough went and when I touch the...
