Lol none,the roots look burl too. I'd post pix but its hard to hold the plant up and take pix at the same time.

They are drinking on average 5-10 gallons a day,I'm topping the system off now via float valve,once topped off I may have to add nutes back to keep ppm around 700.

I know you guys say she can take upwards of 900-1300ppm but I don't see them wanting more than 700ish ppm of sensi A&B and some calmag at the moment that's what's in the res now.

So there is at least some air around the net pot and available to the roots. I've had some issues with stem rot and plant drowning, but your stems look dry, green, and perfect!

Sweet was the only thing that popped out at me, but remember go easy on the P/K boosters (really easy).

Easy on the boosters as in maybe only 50-75ppm not 100-200ppm worth?

I need to figure this all out before I go into bloom so it can go as clock work as possible ya know?

And i super appreciate you taking the time to give this some thought,I really hope we can smash numbers by finding lvpks hydro sweet spot.

If you had a 700ppm base and added 50 - 75 in booster that shouldn't be bad. Each setup and feed blend will have its own sweet spot, but I think less is better when experimenting.

Well what I planned on doing when adding boosters was to drop base ppm and add back dropped ppm worth of booster,I was thinking that would be a safe way to play with boosters no?

Yes and no. You can do that but even if you keep your ppm in a good range you shouldn't be too heavy on the booster.

Okie dokie pokie,maybe I'll see how they like it for a day or 2 then bump it up by 15% or so

Also I may have to reconfigure my set up if they get too big,was thinking about putting them in a straight line under 2k hps instead of 2x2 formation under 1k. Might be a weight gaining move.

OK
what fucked my run up with to much booster wasnt even over 150ppm
I was using pureflowers and put in 1ml per gal, 3 days later I added 1ml per gallon. Pureflowers at 1ml par gallon is around 50ppm but its all p so it stunted my over all bud size.
I was trying to get it up to 200 ppm when I noticed it wasnt good. If your gonna use something like BB & OD I would hit them at week 3 with 1/2 strength BB week 5 1/2 strength with BB and 1/2 strength OD at week 7 then ride it out without anymore boosters.

Sorry if Im hard to understand Im kinda buzzed
Good luck

It's all good BG,I'm ripped off my ass on frostitute,trainwreck,sourband,kush haze bong hit after bong hit.

Oh and its about time you chimed in,I'm hoping I can get DG over here with some 2 cents.

Hey yall,how's everybody doing?


Well I added another bucket to the system so now there's 5 rdwc,the plant I added is a god thats been growing in my DIY E&F it just got tok big.

It's got 4 inches on the lvpk easy and its sorta got its own 1k over it so come bloom time we should see some real magic cuz I should have some chemdog ibl males to play with in the garden as my first run of breeding.

So does anyone have a quick jist of how to isolate a single branch for crossing?

What comes to my mind would be to bloom the male in a seperate room and isolate the pollen growth to the vert tip of the branches then drop a baggie over it then slap that dusted baggie over a female bud for a few hrs then bam?

How far into flower is prime time for them to get it on?

hey there Green Thumb just throwin u a line about pollinating single branches of a bitch. ur right in keeping the male flowering in a seperate room and once his balls drop open collect the pollen in a dish or somthing similar. u can use it straight away or store it in the freezer till needed. then u just put the pollen in a plastic bag give it a good shake n place it on the female bud site u wish to impregnate. as for when to do the process is anywhere from 2-10 weeks (strain dependant) from when flowering was induced. as long as the all or the majority of the pistils r white. Also u should leave the bag on there for 2 days. good luck mate. its a shame i cant view ur pics for sum reason.
