Haven't been taking pics bc I've been having issues lately with my soil mix. Plants been coming out really larfy. Scrapped that soil & went back to fresh 100% coco coir & changed nutes as well from Dyna Grow products to Mega Crop. Not sure what was going wrong but I'm just going back to old formula.

Should be setting up some hempy's soon to get into the flower room, I'll shoot you some pics. I love coco & won't switch to anything else again. Was being cheap playing around with peat bales. I've been buffering coco with calcium nitrate or cal mag first & not having any issues so far. I keep my ppms light & pH around 6.0

I don't have a scale, I run a small grow for personal so I don't worry about weight but hempys have always given me solid yields definitely better than standard plant containers with handwatering. The hempy let's me get away with less frequent watering since the plants have a backup res of water. Could get away without watering for 3 days or so depending on the season. It's a pain to rehydrate everything so best to keep them wet constantly even if small amount of water is used. I would water more but don't like cleaning up water off the floor or whatever collection tray/saucer. Lower ppms & less runoff works for me.

For sure! Just did some upgrades to grow space (no more tents!) & have some interesting genetics going so will look forward to posting more pics. I've been getting away from the house more on weekends so I will need something that can maintain that plants by while I'm away. 5 gals are better than 2 for that purpose imo, I just don't have the space for 5 gals for the amount of plants I have in veg that need to be flowered out smh

I was also using blumats with plain water to help the top not get too dry while roots drank from res on bottom. Daily watering kept to minimal maybe no run off then top the res off if I'll be out for a day or two. Not saying they don't require water daily but I've never came back to dead or damaged plants.

What’s the approx cost per gallon and what silica supplement ate you using.
how much of a noticeable difference in quality and yield have u noticed since using it compared to before ? Thx.

I typically shy away from supplements and money down the drain. So, far my quality has been good enough to satisfy myself and occasionally donation worthy

I only use it in veg,I did notice thickness of the leafs/branches & just able to handle my crazy environment.

Not sure about yield,never really checked it.

i think it would give u more yields since it make the branch stronger so they can handle more weight
, i also find they resist better to heat and pest

Got a question for you guys , when you pheno hunt your cross , how many seed u pop and do you think if I gave them 2weeks veg in 1 gallon pot could be good for pheno hunting?? I got ton of homemade cross I want to go to f3 but limited space , usually I gave them a 6week veg but it time consuming... wanted to go quicker

I felt the coco part I had good runs in soil but after running coco them soil then coco again I’m not going back .. dirt has the better flavor but I think if I master the coco better I can match the flavor

my moms are in dirt tho makes it easier

So I don't create a redundant thread I figured I'd ask you guys here. If I have a female photo plant and I fertilize it with a male auto what happens a bunch of either photos or autos? Just curious...im considering trying it just because I have auto seeds and I mother might fertilize a clone for fun. I grew some bag seeds turned out some males some femals all autos so now I'm just trying to have some fun with them in lieu of disappointment.

You will have 100% photo but with shorter flowering when you cross them again u will see at least 30% auto

After crossing those auto you should have only auto , for fem a lot of breeders have better success with s1 , you spray 1 branch to make some pollen and let it pollinate the rest of the plant , I think there is a thread on this here if I find it again I will post a link

Seems like my green thumb was suited to work with coco lol. I still might play around with a 50/50 coco/peat & EWC mix for organic but only a few plants not whole garden. Still kinda want to do some organic runs but not make it hard on myself doing 100% coco with amendments.

Pop the seeds while you have other plants flowering then take clones of the seedling and flower them as soon as they root. Can fit 4 plants per square foot if you need to and get through a lot of seeds.

Chopped the demo's about 10 days ago..nearly dry and ready for a final trim. I know I said it before but thanks Gen for these seeds. I can't keep up with demand and $4k an elbow it is loved by all who try her. This was a selection from 30 F2s and it was hard to choose which one to keep.
