Looking great Diggs. They've grown a lot since moving from the cups. I've noticed that you and @Dr.Amber Trichome only use micro and bloom without the grow. Is it better to run it that way.

Hey @Couch_Lock hows it going man! long time no see. Hope all is well on the home front brother.Hey, Diggs. Good to see you stuck with it, and have had success. I bought an HLG 550 V2 Rspec a few months ago and have my 2nd indoor grow goin on. Incredible growth thru veg I gotta say, Im just 13 days into 12/12 now with 36" tall Greenpoint Seeds "Tombstone" (Triangle Kush x Stardawg) and a stunted Greenpoint "Tomahawk" (Stardawg x Gorilla Glue)....maybe 20" tall (it only vegged 4 weeks, the others 6).......
Still have CMH's (not using anymore) and the Timber 2 VL (may use it but prolly not, no need for 3 plants).
selected the 3 most round seeds from 2 packs of reg seeds, all 3 are females
@diggs99 hows things on your end? Haven't been keeping much track. You get good yields and dank nugs on that last run?

Hi LG, I don’t use micro. I only use Bloom , cal mag and H2O2.

Hey Lg thanks
Ya I'm running a version of the H3ad formula or revamped Lucas . No grow used, 6/9 throughout micro and bloom only.
I usually start at 2/3, 4/6 and then last couple weeks of veg and all of flower is 6/9
Hey bro, all is well. Last run yielded 2.86 lbs. I kept 1lb of the best tops for smoke and the rest went to the freezer for extracts.
plants turned out very good, very frosty and tight hard nugs, the trays worked great for drying. I won't use anything else now.

The old lady is still difficult to keep happy, lol. Hanging in there. Will need to buy some Ona Gel Pro soon......Day 17 of 12/12 and getting lil yellow flower...reg seeds from Greenpoint (Tombstone and Tomahawk strains ).......I am taking pics periodically, when this grow is complete I'll make an Imgur video like I did last run. No ongoing pics till harvest tho, my crazy paranoid better half......
Hope my state finally legalizes the grow in 2020.......

Right on man, glad you didn't loose much to the root situation. Did you pull the plants at chop and look at the roots at all?

I used to run a lucas formula in my grows when I did a SoG and it worked great. I did have to add the grow into my lineup when I started growing big plants.

Yes 3 of the plants had shitty looking roots compared to the others.
Never lost much at all really, appreciate the help in getting that problem solved quick, probably why I never lost much. You were quick on that one lol

Right on man. Sounds like a good run.
I test ran the Divine Gelato #3 this run and it's stellar. Very dense nugs, big colas. Her smell is amazing, like a combination of vanilla and sulfurey fireworks. Nice and frosty. Lots of big colas everywhere on her, I think the yields will be amazing for a oddball plant with no light of her own.
Here she is at day 65

I didn't realize you could run flora series so many different ways. Did you guys figure this out through trial and error?
I'm "trying" to grow smaller plants and saving $25 on nutrients would be nice. I'm going to read up on what lucas formula is.

If you really wanna save on nutrients look into dry salts. Costs like 15 - 20% of what you would pay to do a run on bottles.
Many people have been doing their own thing and coming up with formulas. The big thing is read the label ingredients and know what you need when and what you dont and when. The micro has so much nitrogen that in many cases the grow isn't required and is actually too much nitrogen.

Ya im considering the switch to megacrop for this reason. So much cheaper and not paying for the water in the bottled nutes. In coco, on DTW, it gets expensive running H3AD or lucas and keeping 10 plants fed constantly lol
Its all about the ratios LG, we dont want too much N so as renfro said, the grow isnt needed in many cases( unless your growing trees like renfro is) but we gotta make sure were hitting out NPK #s within a decent range.

Looking really healthy in the glam shots! Thickness in foliage and stem, nice.
