I'm hoping that you'll let us know when and where to get some of the Durban Poison or crosses. I've been wantingto try that and found today a local Dispensery that has Durban Poison ready rolls for $6 each. Thought I'd treat myself on payday!
Anyone have an answer for what ppm scale to use? 500 or 700. Or even just ec?

700 scale measures KCI or potassium chloride, 500 scale measures NaCl or sodium choloride. USA is usually 500, UK is 700.
I wouldn't worry too much about it though. Just watch your plants and they'll tell you what they like. Start at 500 ppm. Some strains are hungry and will want more right away. Some strains burn just looking at them. I tend to start slow (400) and bring it up over a few weeks. Watch the leaves. If they start looking real dark (almost black) then back off a little. You have to take into account that some strains are naturally darker than others. After a few batches you'll get to know what works best.
Another thing to consider is how much light and CO2 you have available. If you pump up the lights and add CO2 you can double your PPM.

It's not something I'd be too concerned about bro. Overall the plants look pretty healthy. Your nutes might be a little hot for this strain. You might try reducing the PPM a little (but not by much). If your buds are coming out nice then don't change a thing. You're more likely to make it worse than better.Don't want to Jack the thread but been playing with PureBlend Pro in hydro for a while now and just can't get away from this tip curl issue. Was hoping @StinkBud may have some input as he clearly is on his game and has worked that nutrient line

Thanks for the reply brother, are there any sure fire Pure Blend Pro recipes off the top of your head for water culture hydro?

The Botanicare Pure Blend Pro Expert Recipe is the best.

Anyone here have any experience with God’s Green Crack?
I was give them 7days after being cut in Rockwool. Removed most of the Rockwool.
I had my clones in the cloner for 10 days and most plants had the roots reaching into the water.
So moved them to the veg unit, gave them their first food and holy crap they grow fast. They are 6” to 8” for the tallest ones. Almost time to cut clones and go into rails. They are at 19 days since they were cut
Going to try 3 7’ rails. My resiviors are outside the tent to help with heat. I can have a chiller hooked up if needed.
Fingers crossed things keep going well. Wife got bad news again, she doesn’t deserve this.

@stink, from light dep article,
"" During winter, for example, Gibson takes advantage of the cold air outside by pulling it indoors during the final days of flowering. This causes the flowers to fill up with so much sugar that the rock-hard nugs ooze a clear syrup. “I felt like I’d cracked the code,” Gibson says with a smile"""

It has been a while. Just wanted to give Stink another shout out and heartfelt thank you. Been running the perpetual rails for many years now, I I still have a Lemon OG strain from my very first rail Clone, veg, rail! Can't beat it it I would have never been able to keep a mother around all these years but with this method I am still rocking the same Lemon OG for many years. Don't get me wrong variety is the spice of life but whenever I harvest a Lemon it brings a smile to me face. Been trimming Blueberry, Snow Cap and Morning Glory this week 
Life is GOOD with fresh smoke every month!

You're stoked bro! Once you get the system dialed in it's amazing! I've never seen growth rates that can match aeroponics.View attachment 4087509 It has been a while.

Russet Motherfuckers
Watch out for russet mites! They are too small to see with the naked eye so you have to look for the effects. The first sign is leaves that curl, twist or bend in weird directions. The plant's growth will slow and soon after the plant will die. There are a lot of bad pests out there but russets and broad mites are the worst.
Here's what you do... Buy a cheap digital microscope so you can check to see if you have russets. They look like little maggots with 4 legs that come out the front that they use to pull themselves around with.
If you see the little fuckers buy some Nuke Em and spray twice a day for 3 days. Don't forget to turn your lights off when you spray and if you're growing in soil, make sure you completely saturate the soil with water first!!! Let the plants fill up with water and you'll never see any leaf burn.

I have heard of great success fighting russet infestation by raising room temperatures to 120F for 30 minutes and dusting the plants with diatomaceous earth. Have you seen anyone use this method? It works two ways, one the little guys cannot stand the temperature and even 10 minutes is instant death. Diatoms work to shred them to pieces if as try to run and hide in the great dash to find a cooler spot. The caution is those high temperatures should not be combined with high light levels. The plants should respond by closing stomata and essentially put themselves into protection mode further activating SAR. Leave the diatomaceous earth on the plants for three days, then wash it off with water and continue a state-approved IPM method.

Great read stinkbud I'm going to give it a try in My new grow area
Thanks!
Thanks!
Amazing really... I come across this thread and started reading from page 1. Before I got to page 50 I learn of a family member coming down with cancer. I start going through the sacred stash and send off what I have, then I learn of 2 more people within the next 2 weeks whom I could help. I'd better get my grow going!!! I would really like to thank the contributors of this thread who have made me (an upstart newb) believe that I can provide some help to these people in desperate need. I still know very little about this but have heard and read over and over that genetics are key. I'll be starting out with seeds I purchased from Nirvana, Greenpoint, Herbies, and some other place I forgot. I hope I've chosen well (I'll be honest, some I bought simply because they were on sale).

I was looking for a timer that can do 5 minutes off/1minute on.
Hard to find for a low price, and even harder to find for 220/240.
So I modified one of those timers that you can plug in.
Very cheap at Home Depot, Target, Walmart, etc.
The black pins can be pushed up, and every pin pushed up stands for 15 minutes that an appliance that you plugged in gets no electricity.
In other words, if you would plug in a pump on it, the pump would not work for 15 minutes at the times that you pushed up the black pins.
Not all of them are the same outside and inside, but the principle is the same.
Once you open them up the inside will be visable.
In the lower right corner you see the box with the gears.
That is where you can make an easy modification.
The basis of how such a timer works is that a tiny electromotor spins very fast.
Through a set of gears the speed is reduced, like in a transmission or gear box in a car.
In such a way that the last gear on the end of the line in the system (the blue one that sticks out) turns around in such a slow way that it makes the outside clock (the bigger black/white wheel with the pins on the outside) turns 360 degrees in exactly 24 hours.
By removing one of the wheels in the gearbox, the result will be that blue gear will turn faster.
For example in such a way that the black/white wheel will turn 360 degrees in just 1 hour or half an hour.
Normally your timer has 96 periods of 15 minutes.
But after the modification for example 96 periodes of 30 seconds.
Before I start posting more pics, I would like to know if anyone is interested in how to modify.
