Hey BigBud78 how are ya man, NEVER WALK ALONE! Fellow Liverpool supporter here! Lol!
sorry for jacking your thread completely of topic, but had some questions for you. Im about to start Dolato S1 from IHG and read through your journal on 420 and thought id ask you a few questions if you don’t mind answering bro.

Relatively new grower and Im running drain to waste in 11L air pots 70/30 coco perlite mix. Going to be popping them in root it plugs soaked in Shogun Katana roots, when popped will go into 1L pots and then final in 11L airpots after about 2 weeks. Will be using Shogun A+B in veg, and Sumo active boost and silicone along with fulvic acid.

im aware of the less is more approach to feeding which I always try and take. Environment will be stable, I plan to LST, super crop, and top

What EC range is best in your opinion in seedling stage, veg and flower?

how many times do you top?

from your journal I know you have defoliated and lollypopped , but wanted to know when you defoliate? After the stretch around day 22?

Any thing else I should be aware of this strain that you can make me aware of? I don’t plan to use cal mag in coco even though it is recommended – its just adds to much to the EC in my opinion .

Any particular nutruient is is hungry for from NPK?

Did you drop water and rooms temps last week into flower? To increase potential tri production

Sorry for all the questions bro, just wanna try and nail this run the best I can, Thanks in advance for your input bro

Great choice of strain by the way greasyg its a joy to grow ,your in for a treat most phenos are purple and yield heavy ..... ec for seedlings is about 0.4 basically tap water for 1st 10 days from germination then up it slowly as and when the plant needs it usually no more than 1.2 in late veg and never above 1.4 in late flower im actually feeding 1.1 ec now 6 weeks into flower and there loving it
Dolato is easy to grow so no problems there and i like buddhas tree pk 9/18 from week 3 to 4 ,12/12 upto week 7 and start flower burst a week before you flip , i have dropped temps in the past and difference is minimal for me so wont bother this time there crazy frosty anyway, i strip anything thats not making it to the canopy at day 21 to 28 depending how fast they went into flower ,then i just take any big fan leaves blocking budsites ... i top once wen there small at the 4th or 5th node then I'll top the occasional leader you dont need to top much the lst is what creates the budsites and even canopy

Hope this helps

Regards bb78

Hey Big Bud! Hope you well ma man. Was following your epic show over on 420 for the Vanilla. Wanted to ask you a few questions if you don’t mind.

I have 600W DE 400V HPS at 2K kevlin, which I know is good for flower. Im thinking of getting some 5K DE metal halides for Veg only but they bloody expensive! I know you using QB’s at present was wondering did you use MH for veg before that or just the one HPS for veg and flower? You reckon its worth the investment on new MH bulbs?

Im thinking of also using superthrive. How much drops do you use and when? Does it effect the res EC and if so how much? Have you noticed any difference when you wernt using it?

Im also doing DTW and have a flexi tank like yours – I was planning to put a air bleed line in like yours (had a anti-siphon valve in last time) – I know this has to be above water but the line you have running cannot tell from your pic on 420 does it run into the water or is cut so always stays above your water?

Many thanks in advance for your help bro, look forward to your reply

Regards

GG
