Well, it looks like the tray should flip now because you are in for it with that. On the veg UC if you raise the temp closer to 85 they'd love you for it. The roots look crazy better than I have ever seen and should easily be able to support 1lb+ Also the bushes themselves look like they are WAY denser and lusher than my recent runs. With heat they will explode!

Peace, :joint:

Hahaha I wish I could of flipped them last week. There in there with the uc they get flipped with the uc. Im really in for it with them.
Im gonna have to hook up my speedster to slow my fan down Its been a steady 78f in there lights on.
I love the dutchy gold thats all I use besides a dash of zone every once in a while. The first time I had to add ph down was yesterday and tomorrow is 3 weeks in the same nute batch time for a flush.
I have the tray in floranova with floralicious and I have to adjust the ph every few days.

"I love the dutchy gold thats all I use besides a dash of zone every once in a while."

I started vegging in it a few weeks ago with some small freebie promotional bottles (Gold Grow A&B plus ADD 27 plus a little Zone) and I gotta admit it won me over. Just a lush, dense, green jungle. I'll be really curious to see how the bloom works out for you down the road.

Water temp always 68f.

I think its so good because it stays soooo stable. I mean 3 weeks without adding nothing but more water and nutes come on how easy can it get. Oh ya the dyna rock might be contributing a little bit as well.
It will be nice to see dutchy gold buds side by side floranova buds.

Thanks guys

People who complain about harsh taste must not flush well. My plants are at under 100PPM for a week before harvest. I haven't used the DM line but I bet a good flush would solve those complaints.

I havent tried the finished product from dm gold yet. Im pretty sure that a good flush with some clearx will help with any unwanted salts. I also have the drying down to a science so Im pretty confident there. If there is a shitty taste from the dutchy gold that will be the last time I use it but Im pretty confident it will turn out just fine.

milehigh I will never do a 100% organic grow in any dwc in fact I really dont want even any benies in my rez as well. I want it to be sterile as fuck. The farthest I will go for organics is floranova thats it. Outdoors or dirt indoors is a different story organics all the way for that.
We shall see I know what floranova taste like and Im very satisfied with that hopfully the dm gold holds up.
Thanks for stopping in everybody

Well I was just farting around with em today and shit I cant even super crop these thing way to fat of stems snapped one so I stopped. I guess it doesnt matter there soooo fat with soooo many tops its retarded. I still havent flushed havent had time but I will tomorrow and Im gonna take a shit load of pics its probably the last time we'll see the roots there (can I say) too big hahaha.
The veg tray is just nuts I plan on taking a shit load of clones this weekend and Ive decided to pop a 600 hps over em for flower since there so full. I might even move the tray a little so I can train em to grow way past the sides to get a bigger canopy.
Update pics tomorrow see yas there

Have you smoked any final product using DM gold? I saw a thread on IC a couple weeks ago complaining about a harsh taste. Several people chimed in to agree and praise organics. Do you have any concerns regarding this? Have you considered a hydro-organic run in the UC in the future?

heheh.... you and organics man

that thread was purely about synthetic nutes; guy complained that it was touchy, he couldn't add anything to it, and it was cheap... the guy at his store said others said the same to sell him new nutes. not one other user on this board had anything bad to say about the dutch master gold line of nutes; the guy also said he uses zone regularly. if you added chloramine to your res you think you might get a chem taste?

i use dutch master gold, with pure flowers, and add .27...it works and the plants smoke super clean with no chem taste; last grow i did side by side with h&g+additives in a rockwool drip system and after the cure the buds smoked and tasted the same; the strain didn't have a lot of taste to begin with so it came out really really clean and smooth; no complaints either

god... several people chimed in to agree and praise organics... seriously... what thread is this; i must have missed it

I have been throwing around using the add.27 Im not sure if its worth it. What differences have you seen using it? If there is a any good difference its worth it for me.
So what exactly does the add.27 do?
Thanks in advance

A lot of people on here don't give it a lot of credit, but Awesome Blossom by Technaflora is awesome stuff for the last 4-5 weeks of flower. Tons of Potassium and Potash for increased flower size, I am using it right now in my UC and there are loving it with no clog action what so ever.

My bud density increased like crazy when I started using this stuff. If you hadn't given it a shot, I highly recommend it.

PS. I'll start a thread next week with the 1k on a mover over 8XL. Your lookin' good Big Green!:tiphat::tiphat:

doesn't seem to hurt if used in small amounts from what i can tell it works with the dutch gold series to make the nutes more available to the plants via chelating zinc and phosphates.. it actually is derived from the same ingredients as pure flowers, the bloom one at least, but its only 0-2-2 and not a phosphite... that being said i've found that if u add too much it'll turn ur res pink and make a film around the side... for every 3 ounces of a or b i'll add i'll add one ounce of add.27; sometimes less.

i'm running a different strain than i did previously in my uc but there is more frost/trics on the plants using add than before; but i'm also running slightly higher ppms than i did before but they don't seem to be lacking for anything nute wise... happy leaves happy flowers

Im planning on using the pure flowers for bloom I think I'll stick to the plan this run since everything is growing greatly and just use base nutes and then add pure flowers after 2 weeks bloom at 1ml per gal. The add.27 still sounds good but I'll have to try it next go round. Turbo send me a link when you get your thread up
Thanks guys

So whats everybody think flip em or let em ride another week?
