skunk in the backyard , thats a good one :biggrin:

I've heard of people letting the pre98 go for up to 10 weeks, with a 2-3 week flush.

peace

70 days seems long but I guess it depends on the pheno and the grow system. This lady is scheduled for 50-55 days depending on ripeness. I like to harvest at about 5-10% amber trichs for more up to the high. Today she smells more like a pine tree that got sprayed by a skunk which is odd. she is getting dropped to 300ppm today from 500ppm. I was planning on 2 days of flush but maybe a week? If anyone has run this strain I'd love to hear some more suggestions. Cheers

Day 44 of 12/12 Res was changed today to a 500ppm ph 5.5; She is ripening slowly and is absolutely smelling the place up I love it. I'll run this rez for 1 week with only ro water add backs and then flush for a week or ten days. This week the little widow will be isolated and kept at 500ppm untill she is finished. Here are a few pics.HM

Got to work on the new system today. It is a recirculating drip system. 4gal square mayo buckets with 9" net pot lids. I had just gotten all the fittings squared away and was hooking up lines when I ran up stairs and left the door open which started a fight with my wife so I ran back downstairs all pissed off started to hook up another line and my foot knocked over a 5gal bucket of clean hydroton:microwave: I don't know if you've ever done this but it seems to have legs... it was f-ing every where. what a pain...oh it gets better as I'm crawling around going through my library of cuss words I stood up turned around and stepped on the outlet of my new res and cracked the damn thing so 10 gallons water starts pouring out all over the floor...I just shut the door and went and had few hits and some beers. I'm going skiing tomorrow morning so tomorrow night I'll clean up and try again then maybe transplant and post some pics:lightning:

Fuck, I had my hand over my mouth when I read after dumping the clay, you stepped on the outlet.

With that trifecta of old lady yelling, flood, and clay, I would do the exact same thing, hell, its possible I would not go back in there for a week.

Then I hopefully would find a way to laugh. Godam, makes me want to buy you shot, and a beer. I know how that shit is.

*mistress*,

Thank you for stopping by. I've enjoyed reading your linked threads on passive hydro...My summer plans include several of these. It is indeed a very nice cultivar I'm really glad to have access to this bubba kush pheno; she is simply beautiful.

mud,

Yes that sucked I hope to not repeat it. my new system is now running with 3 ecsd/nycd and1 blue moonshine, 1 LA confidential and one grapefruit diesel.

Here is an update on day 48 12/12. They are running at 280ppm of fnb which includes 1ml per gallon floralisious plus. The fans are really starting to yellow up and about 10% cloudy trics. pH is at 5.5 to 5.3. Has anyone noticed that floralisious plus drops your ph for a day or two after addition? After two days the ph is stable so not too big a deal but requires some ph up for the first couple days. The little widow is at 500ppm ph 5.5. Big bubba is done turning out white hairs and almost all the hairs are red now. Tomorrow she gets flushed with floraclean in ro water for 10 days or untill she is done...here are some pics. The first pic is the little ww.HM

nice grll!
coffee, non-sweet, not really 'sour', but full of earthy tones...
very woody stalks & short/squat... ;)

anywhere between 55-70... very sofa-type after 9 wks.

like floralicious+, like floralicious bloom more... never used ph-up... pro-tekt (potassium silicate) work well for increase ph, + adds silica (stronger limbs... like that is needed w/ sb;)... no.). ej bloom for ph-down.

10-day flush maybe lots of days... especially w/ florakleen.
seems can flush for only 48-72hrs from harvest when florkleen used...
wont hurt, though.

enjoy your garden!

*mistress* Thanks for the tips you're very kind . I'll pick up a small bottle of each for pH up and down.:tiphat: Well the Nyc diesel x East coast sour diesel and purple chronic moms will be ready in about a week so I need to get the room set up for clones; 55-60days is what she gets. I am impressed that 3days of flush is sufficient in dwc with flora kleen..In soiless 10 days minimum ph'ed water was my normal flush. Next run I'll take your advice on the flush. Cheers,
HM

53 days of 12/12 and day 4 of flushing with flora kleen. about 40% cloudy trics. The ppms are at 55 and she is losing a lot of color in the upper fan leaves. It really looks like fall on the farm. I can't believe the trich. production on this strain it is really impressive. The buds are so dense they feel hard to the touch. The test bud I smoked yesterday was from a missed budsite on the lower branches but it was super dense. I dried it in a paper bag for 3days then put it in a glass vial for 2 more. It was amazing how little the size changed and it was dense, hard, great tasting and was a super effective pain reliever..which is why I smoke now. I can't thank all the great people who posted their hydroponic knowledge on this forum enough; Thank you. I'll post some more pics later today.
All Good,
HM

Well here are a few pics of her last day in bloom. This was a great experience with the added bonus of lots of great smoke in my future. I'll take a few more pics of her as she gets the

Nice tree you got going there man. I just finished up an organic run with the pre-98, and was just as impressed with the resin production as you are. If you can, let her go 10 weeks...you WON'T regret it.

Growshower,

Ya I'm really stoked about hydroponics and the results of this grow..
The harvest date is what my caregiver friend who gave me this strain recommends for keeping you awake and still killing pain. It is interesting that the trics are almost 50% cloudy with maybe 2% amber in there. I smoke a lot so couch lock bud is out ...Pain management is my priority and I can't sleep during the day; my kids would not stand for it. My room is also going to be a clone and mother room now so got to get it cleaned up and ready. I appreciate all the tips and maybe Next time I'll let one go to 70 and try it out. I'll post a few pics tomorrow when I chop. They are in the dark now for 24hrs tomorrow morning she gets cut. Cheers

Harvest

Harvest

Well my house still stinks really badly from yesterdays chopping. The bubba is really beautiful bud. The flush brought out a bunch of purples and turned the bud a nice light green. The hash ball off of the scissors is the size of a large marble and I had to pull the scissors off my fingers to put them down. I love smoking hash while trimming brings back great memories...The little white widow was cut early but is looking awesome. I smoked some widow scissor hash this morning and it is really tasty and potent... Here are some pics. Thanks again for all the comments and for stopping by this has been a real blast can't wait to do it all again. Cheers,
HM

lookin awesome man that trich production is amazing....enjoy your harvest!

Ya man this stuff is beautiful. I let the buds hang for 72 hrs and finish trimmed and put them into jars. The pile of keif was just unbelievable! I love smoking cheese it just tastes...fresh. And it is wicked stout too. The beauty of a second trim is all the trim is super high grade and dry enough so I'm set for smoke till the buds cure. The taste is really earthy, skunky, fruity and a bit sour...fantastic. I really like the effects of rinsing in hydro way cleaner than soil IMO. My new girls are starting to rock it now so can't wait to do it all again. Growing my own meds it's just too sweet really. :blowbubbles:
