Thanks man, ya this recirculating drip seems to really have potential. In the bottom of this photo is a yard stick (1m)sitting on the net plot. These girls have averaged almost 2" per day since planting ...a very nice number. I still have no idea what the final product will look and smoke like but this strain sure looking like a keeper. Hopefullyin the last 40days they will really fatten up.

well went to check the ladies this morning and they all looked great as I was standing in a PUDDLE! The drain line on my best looking girl was totally plugged with roots and the plant was floating! Amazingly the plant was not wilted at all. I unplugged the line but broke some roots so that will be some serious stress damn. Next run e&f fittings will be on the new system. This is the first problem I've had with this system. Lesson learned the hard way..again..HM

BG thank you for the kindness.Here is an update day 31 of 12/12 ph 5.7-6.2 1250ppm temps low 65 high 75f. The big diesels are really packing on some weight now. The three pheno are:
100_3768.JPG

The big DD she has long colas with sativa like blooms lots of sugar leaves. Smells like pineapple and grapefruit! A big producer with 40 days left to fill in.
100_3769.JPG

Stinky D she has some major stank smells like some bizarre mix of fuel, fruit and chemicals. Not as good a producer but very odd smelling I like it,
100_3775.JPG

The strawberry diesel. This pheno has huge dense buds and smells like skunky strawberrys now. she is slow in veg but really puts on a show in bloom. my favorite...she is the one with the super tall cola.

Very nice. Can't wait to see what they look like in a few weeks gonna be sick. !! Great work

Thank you. I'm really happy with the result of my gamble; taking in some free clones of dubious genealogy has not always worked out like this. The guy I got these diesels from trimmed for some growers in Humboldt and got a bag of bud loaded with beans. He said the parents were both really big yeilding strains and now I tend to believe him. The next generation is now under 400w mh here is a pic from day 6 of veg, notice the two big DD clones in back already rocking it. They grew an inch the first day! The middle two are the strawberry diesel pheno, front left is stinky D and the front right is pre 98 Bubba Kush.

Dude legit those shits are beautiful man. Trust me I wish I had the strains u have now. I would kill for some sick strawberry diesel or bubba. So ur lucky dud. And they are looking stunning. No BS. I wouldn't just say it. So u started em all from beans. Iv been trying to get my hands on a real good Diesel ,Strawberry D or a crazy strain like that I'm a diesel freak. Like no other. I live for it and don't enjoy smoking anything els besides some goods like that. Bubba is amazing too I just tried some the other day for the first time and LOVED it so great job dude. I'm excited to see the rest of flowering. Those Sativa Dominant ones are pretty. Ur doing an amazing job. Keep it up I'll be watching if u ever need anything whether u need help or Some cool stuff don't hesitate.

Thanks again man, ya these phenos are pretty damn nice. I didn't start from beans but I picked up some really sad looking clones for free. They all had like one and three lobed leaves and looked really crappy rotting roots etc. I'm glad I talked the guy out of em now. This is a close up of the big DD (sativa dominant) buds lots of trichs and very sticky.

It is hard to believe that they looked so dinky about 60 days ago the top middle is the big DD, the lower middle is the strawberry. Back left is stinky D, the other three croaked.

Dude k+ for the love. These plants are a real surprise. The guy I got them from is a bit weird and dodgy and I really thought they'd end up shwaggy crap. The stinky diesel is really starting to fill in nicely the last couple days and my wife swears it smells like fresh mango, I don't like mango unless it is in a sorbet with lots of lime at John bentlys in Woodside Ca. But I believe her; she has a great sense of smell unlike my rugby crushed, chemistry and brain surgery violated sniffer. She likes the one that smells of strawberries best ..she likes big dense buds...yet Another reason I love her. The house smells sweet and fruity not 10x skunky like the bubba kush did. This MMJ law kicks ass! love to MT voters and to the Obama admin for pulling back the jackbooted DEA thugs a bit; at least for a few years. Cheers to everyone who has stopped by for a look.

Heres a quick update. day 36 12/12 just past half way. Ph is 5.7-6.2 ec 1.9. Love the FNB/Floralisious + These girls are looking stellar. Unfortunately my camera still sucks and won't focus properly with the flash so sorry but you'll get the idea it's just a bit blurred...not unlike me after those two cookies

Its just a pk booster but it will bump your yields up and make nice full buds.

Thanks man just picked up a bottle of liquid kb at the hydro shop today. What the hell might as well give it a try. Tonight I'll make up a fresh rez + koolbloom....Cheers,
HM

Nice dude. I use the liquid KB as well It def helps. I wanna go pick up some powder Kool Bloom as a Ripening Formula. Different from Liquid KB. Anyone try it. I'm def looking yo get it. Just another addition to the 884738 nutes i have lol. Any opinion on it. Or anything u use comparable. I also have Overdrive by AN. So Always looking to supplement and try new things. Thanks guys. !!!

Just start out adding 100 ppm @ conv .5 of the kb after 1 week bring it up to 200 ppm. Make sure to minus the ppms of the kb from your base nutes.
Good luck your gonna love the stuff

So I switched my meter to .5, calibrated and mixed up a fresh rez of nutes started with 125ppm of kb and finished at 950ppm 1.9ec fnb/floralisious +...To up it to 200ppm should I switch the rez out in a week? or just add more kb? at this strength the shit will last the rest of the decade.. The ladies are really packing on the weight now. Still cranking out the pistils no red yet. I'm really stoked on these freebes the next gen is rocking.

I'll just add 100ppm to the rez if I don't hear otherwise. The girls seemed to like the boost and I swear there is a difference in these plants with one day. But I've never grown this strain before so who the hell knows...Regardless I'm happy, Cheers,
HM
