I noticed dynamite likes it's temps @80 or it doesn't grow in seedling stage
Reasonable
I typically run 72 for everything
Hey @Gu~ any chance of you giving up a hint or two about the new stardawg crosses, lol
You may want to lower the temps when you get in flowering. Ecsd crosses that i have had experience with, hate high temps in flowering. Ecsd usually tends to dominate most crosses. Even my garlix's. Ive grown out 10 plants and 9 of them leaned toward the ecsd side.

From what ive experienced, hot temps with the ecsd or crosses lead to excessive foxtailing, a reduction of trichs, and reduction of smell.

I tend to grow ecsd crosses in the fall and winter due to these traits since i don't have any ac. Ill never forget 13 ounces of ecsd that i grew and harvested in the summer. Smelled like hay. Couldn't even give it away.

Day 54 The Deputy and Skypilot. I've had the flu with a sinus infection for the last week so I can't smell anything, but before I was sick a few of The Deputies have a not so pleasant Garlic Swamp Gas odour and a few have the lemon fuel Og smell.

The Deputy showing a few different phenos.
This one reminds me of Chemdawg D, but maybe it's a Star Dawg leaner?
bunch.

This one in the rear is more like an Og, which is the most common of the pack

Here's the Sky pilot. I hope she is all that because they look like Larf pilots right now, lol. View attachment 3932924 View attachment 3932923
Bakersfield,

What nutrients are you using this run? I only ask because it looks like you might be running into some nitrogen toxicity issues late into this run. I don't see a lot of clawing, but the dark green for 50 days in, the slight cupping of lots of the leaves, and the larf would seem to suggest you might need to lower your N levels?

Great sho

18 oz out of a 3gal! Now that's some skill. Thanks for sharing!
Thanks a lot Gu~. I didn't do her justice that run. She was a little neglected and still showed lots of promise. Gave some clones of her to a patient and hers are looking pretty damn awesome!


Thats a nice looking lady how long did she veg
I can't really remember how long she was in a 1 gallon plastic container before I got around to actually start vegging her under the 315's. She spent about 7 weeks under the 315's and several days outside when it was nice enough. Vegging that long is not the way I would like to do it, but my state doesn't allow me many plants in flower, so I have to make each plant count!

I grow in coco.
I use MaxiBloom 5-15-14 in veg and flower, following the K.I.S.S. version of the Lucas formula.
I mix my nutrients to about an EC of 1.14 or 800 ppm and feed 2 times daily DTW with 20% runoff. 1 day a week I run straight h20 through the pots.

I never have had nitrogen toxicity issues using this formula, but I could have used a bit more Magnesium with some of The Deputies showing some Magnesium deficiency in late flower.
However, I did allow a batch of nutes to fluctuate in the ph range once early on in flower, which led to the burnt tips. I'll explain; I use well water to mix my nutrients. My well water is awesome it runs at a ph of 6.3 with about 10ppm when I mix the MaxiBloom into the water my ph drops to about 5.2. If I allow the solution to set for 24 hours the ph will rise and stabilize at 5.9, which is where I like to keep it. I don't know if it's the buffers in the nutrients or in the well water, but if I add ph up to my solution after mixing, and bring it up to an acceptable level of 5.8, my solution will stabilize to 7 in 24 hours and I've burnt my tips after running solution @ 7 on the ph.

I've grown quite a few strains using this method with great results, but have recently made the switch over to automation vs hand watering. Perhaps 5-15-14 is too much N on a multifeed for the Skypilots? The Skypilots look to be a week or more behind The Deputies and I'm confident I'll get at least a few z's off of each plant.

I don't think that I have ever heard of too much N from MaxiBloom either. If your flushing once a week, I doubt there is much build up as well. I had a Grape God that smelled soooo good, but grew like just like your larf machine.

Have you smoked the Deputy before? If so could you give a description?

Thanks,

No, I have not had the chance to try any of the Greenpoint strains, but I plan to try a sample of the deputy real soon.

plants are probably uptaking too much P or K, fix this by lowering ph to like 5.5. then let it swing back up gradually.
maxibloom lucas formula for the win. i love it.

I've wondered about that especially the K as some of my coco is well composted and Sulfur, especially when I add Epsom Salts for Magnesium.
After many hours researching, over at the Manic Botanix site, I have decided to do a run of Coco specific nutrients with lower levels of P, K and Sulfur, which are found in Coco, along with higher ratios of Calcium, to counteract Cocos cation exchange properties.

If I would have known the things were going to happen with the DVG gear wouldn't have ordered them!!! Still haven't got them!!! Smh Sucks!!:cuss::cuss:
