so does the water go trough the controller before or .

it comes straight from rez to drippers but both pumps connect to the controller for fill and drain cycles

Well I am not able to easily quote and show photos from your post, but I wanted to talk about the 4th photo.

This bud is showing a very typical reaction to TOO much and TOO intense light. The LVPK love indirect light and less intense light. I bet you will notice that there are larger happier nugs on this plant, the top is going into crazy single foxtail and the rest of the nugs are getting fat and happy.

I'm not really sure what to do when the problem appears, except maybe chop the nug and let the rest of the plant develop.

Also if you can supercrop the branches away from the center of the hood / light you'll have more success avoiding the stress.

Many of us grow her and once the buds stress like that they never bounce back to fat and round. Also I find the trich coverage on the stressed buds is way less than the other buds.

I know you have great smoke coming and next round will be even better.

great find Hydrosun fucking awsome eyes and skills

back hose is return water from controller and grey is water going out
grey hose has a hole with a dripper connecter nipple that goes on the lines it sprays water in rez when running and when it stops its stop sifen

3 water res backup just for one grow

and new grow with 10 gal LVPK 4 days 12/12 i leave MH bulbs for 7 days then switch HPS

If you've got the LVPK there is no issue with yield, she does better than most.

DG has killed the yield with LVPK against his well know SSH. More bud less time.

There are at least a dozen LVPK grow threads on ICmag. All of them have great posts.

These are just some of the guys with grow journals that feature LVPK. Many other growers post in these threads. Done right the LVPK beats ANYTHING in the Pepsi challenge.

My biggest tip for yield is don't prune lower branches, only middle and lower sapper branches. Also the bigger the better, starting with roots, and then stalk girth as most important. She loves light in Veg, but in flower she prefers less light and lower nutes.

holy fuck man, u couldnt be more right about these tips. Im gonna kill it next round knowing this stuff, even tho its been very apparent. now I burned her fan leaves, but it turn, she has swelled out like CRAZY in one day, and the buds and surrounding leaves are not burnt...crazy how fast that burn showed up...reason being is last night I did a fat watering w just humic acid, bud candy and nirvana...Im guessin the light nute mix loosened up some stuff built up, then the humic just rushed it all right into the plant. so we got burned fans, but amazing looking nug so far.

heres a real big question, in soil, what seems to be the best chop date? shes lookin done quick and im only on day 47-48. I wont chop before 65 on anything, unless you say so. I know you guys know this strain well and Ill listen...the rest of the tent is going till day 73-78.

thanks for all the info guys, big big help. next round hopefully 3-4 LVPKs in 7 gal smart pots w SS#4, among other strains. Ill keep yall posted!


*DG, that new round looks fuckin killer bro, If I can get my 3-4 to look anything like that 4 days in, Ill be a happy camper. way to go man.

I take her at 60days in organic soil. I've taken her at 49, 56, 60, 63, and 70 and for my money and tastes I chop her at 60.

HTH

[Hydrosun]

You just got the low down there! Crazy but GS knows his shit day by day.

 

[TicalionStalion]

Im soakin it all in lol. 63 sounds good lol. Maybe ill scope trichs. Im almost thinkin flush alrdy, especially since i burned the fans, but i can tell shes still got some beefin out to do. I didnt even get to use the overdrive yet...never tried the stuff...u guys think i should give a baby dose of overdrive, or final phase and water for these last 2 weeks left? Ill get some pics soon. I really cant believe the growth she put on overnight. Outstanding.

 

[Hydrosun]

If you are in soil you'll probably want at least a two week flush with water and sugars only. If she is already at day 49 you probably don't want to introduce new additives.

 

[TicalionStalion]

sounds good hydrosun -- thanks bro! water and sugars it is.

 

[GeorgeSmiley]

Also, the feedback I've received on the pre-56 day lvpk was disappointing to say the least. Left people saying "Where's the beef".

Post 56 day and no one said anything other than "OMFG that good"

[TicalionStalion]

i think im gonna shoot for 62-63...sounds just about perfect. ill post some killer pics in a few hrs. took em earlier.

 

[stoney917]

[GeorgeSmiley]

Love this plant

[TicalionStalion]

awesome pics guys, great dry and live shots...what a pretty plant. heres some pics I got today, either day 49 or 50 I believe. I burned the fans but the buds are swelling out killer now, Ill just go water and maybe bud candy from here on out?

 

[Hydrosun]

She looks super green two weeks of water and sugar should have her nice and purple for you.

One of these days we are going to have to send of a sample to find out what her THC and CBD percentages are. Don't know if they could have much more crystal than your #4 photo is showing.

This strain has just shown great results in so many gardens, slowly winning fans around the world. One of these days Dominican will perfect a seed version and she will be a blessing to many!

One of these days we are going to have to send of a sample to find out what her THC and CBD percentages are.

I plan on doing that in about 4 weeks. Will be nice to see how she actually stacks up against the other heavy hitters going around.

Does your shit look as good as no. 4 photo up there?

My question to you is, have you decided on a date to return to growing so you can take pride in your work? Stop being comfortable using others as a scapegoat for any problems that arise in the garden. It'll feel great I promise.

MASHUP buys shares of AMAZON, puts Life Karma to work. Up, up and awayyyy! Change is good, better get yours.

 

[Hydrosun]

I take credit and blame for everything that comes from my garden, but I'm not afraid to let others know I don't do it alone. Is that what you mean? Or should I be a guy tied to some speck of land somewhere and never get to leave? What is that high school book? "The Good Earth?" Haven't read it but I'm told the guy that hangs on the same patch of land until death doesn't lead a happy life.

As for gummy bears Harbo Gold all the way!!!!!!!!

 

[Lifer]

I'll never question your ability to pull the wool over the sheep's eyes Hydrosun, having watched you attach your locale to someone else's wonderful breeding project all for a little ego, pride and self righteousness. So I wont go any further.

Enjoy your travels, I know it's the only time you feel any worth when acting high and mighty before others. House still a fucking disease? Stone IPA artwork is about the most cultured thing present. Or has the mold taken home where the flood damage graces the kitchen? It's been a while. ****.

Stop being miserable and reply to my e-mails. You need friends like me who are equally open assholes to others to prove a point.
