2200 Watts and a couple bottles of CO2

I ran a single plant last time as a spot filler, I felt if it had its own spot it could be pretty decent. I picked this particular one to bring along as it smells like skunky bubblegum.
i've got 2 almost done. i freaked out a bit at how all the leaves near the buds curl up so tightly when i first saw it. then after some reading i figured out it was a genetic trait.

i'll have to give a smell check next time i'm in the room.

I will go back and check my old pics this eve, i don’t remember if that one was curling.

mine are from twenty20 seeds and they look exactly like the grow pics. the regular fan leaves are normal though.
I will check it out, mine are from new420guy but his stuff seems pretty solid. The bubba I had last time had a distinct look, will see how it looks compared to twenty20s. That one last time had a citrus/floral/oranges smell, was nice smoke, good potency.

nice. i don't think i've done a kush before: definitely not bubba.

this is a pic off their site: mine looks very similar except my leaves are much darker almost a purple/black. and the fans are pretty black too.

Nice, Mine was dark as well, distinct textured leaf compared to the others on the go. Not much purple but it was pretty hot the last few weeks too.

Right on man, I’m looking forward to seeing this one flower out, I always liked the bubbas, never grown just smoked buddy’s. My past few runs have always had some kush in them though regardless strain.

Emailed Paul at new420guy regarding his pre98, told me it’s a unique cross of 2 pre98 bubbas that they have worked for a few years. Guess that’s all I got...

On another note, one got lost in the mail, this one took a month to show up but I finally got some. Not wild about adding organic stuff, I just hope it works as well as everyone says. Will change the rez tonight and start it off. Only place in Canada I found these bennies was hydroguard at $150 a litre, fuck that.

Well the only thing I can note so far from adding GFF is my ph is dropping the same way as if I had any bacteria in the system. Shit might get peroxide yet..

Upped feed a bit, upped calmag a bit, tried silica for some ph up. Was hoping ph would stabilize overnight but I went to bed @ 5.9 and woke up at 5.7. I don’t know if I’m waiting for it to correct or it’s waiting for me to correct it lol. Oh well, other then a couple wrinkles from ph moving, they look alright. The blue power behind the pre98 with be a fat bitch, I’m letting that one go to a single cola.

Put 20ml in 80 gallons, waited 24, added maybe 15 more last night. Started with 4ppm water and floranova, will be 48 hours this eve.
that should be good. a good dose at the beginning helps establish a good colony i think. try to get it up into your netpots too if you can.

Sounds good, I was going to give them all a good top feed today, I figure I will evaluate for a week and go from there, plants seem to be pretty happy, even more so at a lower feed.

Check this out @rkymtnman, I know exactly what the problem is, it’s keeping it at bay is what I’m trying to dial in. Check out this pic and look at the tiny brown dots on roots.. when these form, my ph starts dropping fast. I want to say it’s possibly brown algae or some kinda bacteria from the system being contaminated right from the start.

Peroxide makes them disappear but it’s not a solution and it’s hard on my plants from my experiences.

yeah, i see what you are talking about. that is kinda weird looking for sure.

you aren't diluting the GFF are you? straight from the bottle?

and i'm with you on the peroxide: that shit is too strong an oxidizer for me. chlorine or GFF are what i'd use.

First 20 went right into the res, second dose went into a gallon of water then straight into the res.
