El-Diablo in the house

Apprechiate the nod herk.glad to offer any ideas

A very happy Easter to all ! I've been a bit pre- occupied getting ready for the kids/ grandkids Easter but I'll get my thread back on track real soon

I've got a gang of bud sites I'm hoping I can put a little bulk on them almost daily I remove a leaf or to to get light to all my little buds I'm not a fan of removing healthy new leaves as the y are what converts light to growth but some removal is necessary to maintain a healthy canopy I'm hoping these don't finish too fast as I would like them to get a little size first

Not much change did a little supercropping today gotta change out the nutes will update pics in next day or so

I've got to change out the reservoir & get some fresh nutes flowing she's not gonna yield but the product is top - shelf quality got to sample a nug off the parent of this plant it's a potent little bastard to say the least I'm gonna get another babie of this the quality is that good I still don't know anything about this shit & it didn't come to me from a reliable source & who really knows what's in a name for all practical purposes this is bag seed I strongly suspect this might be some form of gsc another strain I've never grown all I know is it's kind of finnicky to grow & I really dig it whatever it is its that good quality wise this might be the best I've ever grown & ive grown a lot of strains

Spring has sprung in my neck of the woods gonna have to hook up duct fan & oscillating fan temps are sure to climb showers coming next week & an occasional frosty morning but the back of old man winter is pretty much broke life is sweet at times

Everything is in place my canopy is woven pretty dense she just refuses to develop buds of any size the main stalk is healthy & roots are aggressive she reeks next week when I feed again I'm gonna pull the cal- mag I was anticipating a harvest at the end of the month but that remains to be seeni

I noticed a slight swelling in my buds today & the smell is clear out in the street gonna have to get more Ona - gel it reeks bad

I'm still having maintaining ph levels I my res. starting to understand reason people do dtw with coco

Yep look into autopots and if you do let me know.

Hey pinner glad you stopped by this whole setup is soon to be replaced with a waterfarm I've been doing the e&f coco for awhile but since I've moved my taste in my grows has shifted to the waterfarm & the Galaxy 250-400 switchable ballast my goal is to have an economical to operate setup that puts out I'm really wanting to find a good og cross that isn't troublesome to grow

Everything is in place & the final weeks are approaching she just refuses to yield for me

Ionic is solid for both mediums. More so for dwc.

Hey pinner is ionic a nutrient line or an additive? I'm sitting on enough gh3- part nutes for my next few grows that being said I'm always interested in what is working for others as well now I'm gonna feel real funny if ionic is a strain

It's a nutrient line. I enjoy it's stability and performance. Only have to feed at 1.2 Ec to get great results. Reasonably priced. If you read most of the Holy shit i have a problem threads they are using gh. No way am I saying its shit but you really have to dig deep to find a grower who mastered their(gh) solution ratios out of the gate. I'm currently using a perpetual formula as I rotate a plant in every 15 day or well I try.
10% veg formula
90% bloom formula
.5 ml Pk 13/14 ( cana) per ltr
And the Virginia Tech study 5:2 humic(fossil fuel (ionic) to seaweed (rhyzotonic canA).
They (ionic) have a hard water formula I just started using and cut my ph down usage by over half. So I'm sort of a nute whore using what I've found to be the cleanest of attributes in each application at the highest quality / price point for the concentration.

I have serious ph issues with the coco e&f grow the waterfarm holds its ph in the 5.7-6.4 range for 4-5 days using my tap water which comes from a nearby lake ( snow runoff) ppm under 70 I'm gonna check around for the ionic stuff I'm not looking for miracle snake oil just something that works preferably a stand alone or close to it

pulled up their site ( hydrodynamics I think) & found a shop in Stockton that handles it I'm gonna try to pick some up in the near future at least a qt . Each of the bloom/ grow to get started it sounds just what I'm wanting......simple!

The quality of this shit is un- real but there is not gonna be any buds larger than a slip on pencil eraser the little nugs are hard as rocks & dense as lead I'm pretty sure I'm gonna grow this again in the waterfarm I switched nutes to soul synthetics & no additives for these final weeks the top buds are finishing faster than the lower ones so I'm gonna break out the loupe the sugar frost fairy has really shined down on this girl

I'm getting a slight swelling of my buds which are dense as hell just no real size but things are adding up & for a change I'm feeling like it's not gonna be a total flop started a drain to waste feeding schedule today too much work trying to control the ph. In the reservoir I'm at 2-3 weeks from harvest a few more feedings & I'll start flushing

I grew a gsc forum cut that did the same thing. I was tripping out the whole grow cause all I had were golfball sized buds.

But in the end they cured into funky solid rocks and I got a pretty decent yield.. u may be surprised! Looking good. Dtw was a good thought as well, hope they fatten up a lil more for u.

Looking forward to the waterfarm.
