Loving the supersoil method. Just tried some of my grape soda cut that I passed to Hotsause and he ran it supersoil! Flavor was good and smell was just as well! Gonna have to work on bringing that in to my garden for my favorite flavored strains!

Hey indipow - you can't go wrong with the Supersoil. I went from the full Earth Juice lineup to Supersoil and haven't looked back. I think the growth rates and flavors are just as good, with much less hassle.

Yeah, I ran Botanicare before this and just as Medshed said, I don't think I'll look back either. I remember when I first read Sub's article on SS in Hightimes a few years back, something he said was growers were reporting "hydro-like growth rates"......well that is kinda what I am seeing. After the plants adjust and get into the SS after transplanting, they just take off! (not that most people here don't already know this...I'm just still really impressed with how well it works!)

I have seen amazing things from the supersoil. I am using the last of my House and Garden line up on this run and that will be it for nutes! My wife was excited because of how much I spend on the nutes is way more than making a LARGE batch of supersoil, so the cost is better too! Cant wait!

Hey folks,
Just wanted to throw up a quick update of the Pandora a couple weeks after transplanting.
Not too much to say about the grow at this point. I have watered once since transplanting and have been bending the branches a little to get the four heads level. She hasn't grown a lot in terms of height but I think the root structure is growing now and I'm sure the plant will take off with the next watering. The leaves of Pandora #10 seem a little more narrow than the one I have budding (Pandora #4) and #10 reminds me more of the Spacequeen photos I have seen. Pandora #4 has wider leaves, and also thicker stems. I am sick right now with no sense of smell but next time I do a update I'll give a smell to the budding plant and let you know what it gives me! Take care people and have a great and safe weekend. :bigjoint:

looking good man. Ive run it a few times, and have 5 of them running now. Pandora's box is great to grow, real easy, real dank, and very stable. So stable, in fact, that different seeds can and will actually look like clones from the same mother plant.

I have 5 PB right now exhibiting only 2 different phenotypes. IME, I have found only 3 differnt phenotypes. 2 are dank, one has a very high leaf-calyx ratio. Still dank smoke though.

Wait for the cherry lemon sweetness and uplifting high. Its fantzstic. Smell is so bomb it is actually the only reason why I am running them again...the high is a little too speedy for my liking.

Hey bshdctr -- those ladies are looking fine! I can't wait to see the buds develop rocket-style for you.

Hello everyone,
My life has been a little crazy as my wife and I just brought a daughter into this world....I'm sure all the parents here on RIU can understand the sleep-deprivation that follows :smile: I just wanted to snap a few quick shots (once again, still working on picture quality but no sleep got the best of me this time I think-sorry) of the Pandy for ya'll.
Pandora #10 is happily vegging along and not a lot to report. The only thing I have noticed is that the leaves did some of the usual re-vegging weird stuff...I almost forgot this plant had 10 days of 12/12 before transplanted. I don't really dig this method though and will try to get better at sexing while still in 18/6.

Pandora #4 is at 30 days of budding and WOW....this thing is really packing on resin now and the smell is unreal. Lemons, cherries, and resin all day! Even if this was the only female I had received, it looks like it will be a keeper. The plant got much larger than I though it would, mostly branching out to a big bush rather than stretch straight up. It vegged for 42 days after transplant and in a 5 gallon pot but it has been a heavy feeder and I have already top dressed with SS twice. I can't wait to see what it will do in a 10 gallon pot and vegged for 60 days after transplant!

Hey bshdctr - thanks for the update. That flowering girl is looking great! PB definitely likes to eat doesn't she? I'm getting all jealous now that I see her in bloom. We're down to our last jar from my PB harvest and I won't be running her again until summer. Hopefully the JTR I've got in flower makes a nice substitute.

Congrats on the little one! I hope everyone (plants and people) in your house is healthy and happy.

Looking good my friend, congratulations on your new addition.

My Pandora Box , 5 of em, are all at Day 38 of flowering today. Unfortunately, I have not found a keeper in this last run of 5 seeds...all look dank but none of em hit all the "right" phenotypes that I know exists. Still are the heaviest resin producers out of all the strains I have right now, no doubt about it.

On a side note, I am now happy to report that out of a 10 pack of Pandora's Box from Subcool/TGA, I had a 10/10 female ratio.

Thanks everyone! Kids truly are wonderful:)
Snafu1236- Sounds like you took some of my females;) I only had 2 out of my 10 pack of Pandy.....but Vortex gave me 6 girls out of 7 plants last time I grew out a TGA 10 pack. I usually run only 1 strain at a time so I am hoping that the medical effects of one of these 2 Pandora girls is what I'm looking for, considering I will run the crap out of it for the next year or so....then onto germinating another beautiful TGA 10 pack........Spacebomb or Jc2 really have my interest for the next go 'round.

johny1212- Glad to have ya, and you will be glad you are giving supersoil a try. Not only do my plants look to best they ever have...but the system also works perfect with my life and I love the convenience of not having to mix nutes with every water.

ColdArmysoldier- Thanks! I am very excited to see what kind of weight she packs on in the next 5 weeks or so :)

Also,
For those that are interested, this plant received 2 Tablespoons of SUCANAT per gallon of water the night I took the 30 day bud photos. Other than that, it has been just plain water ph'd to 6.5 and a couple top dressings of Supersoil.
Take care folks and have a great day!
