hey med man! I'm always happy to see new vids.

I am getting into GH's Aeroflo2's and in the nute department, i was wondering (since you use Adavanced Nutrients) if you would recommend using h202 with Connoisseur? since it has a new type of pH perfect buffer and more chelates then ever i was suspicious that it might affect all that activity...??

sorry to get off topic in this great thread....

Lookin really good med man

I want to dive in and swim across those tables!


i never got to do the real med-man method this run becuase i needed these kinds and had to buy them and they were in limited quality. with that being siad i will do vids and a tutorial here of the medman method from to back, as i intented lol, the sea is still green though, man did they pack it on with the res flush, mm

do yourself a favor please, just run jungle juice, b52, big bud and overdrive.it will still be cheaper. i have found that ph perfect sucks for everything else but flood and drain. i also recommend against any dark additives to hydrocultures. like mollasses, humic acid etc. all they do is add slime. if anything add fulvic at half strngth once roots are established in your set up, good luck, mm

ps, i make kind bud and kind ripe, cannabolic stacker, kind cal and already have my recipe for a 1 part nutes for use from clone to harvest, just gotta use up the last of my nutes still. i will be all med-man brand soon ) lol

as far as h202 in ph perfect, havent had issues in flood and drain, just everything else, coco, dirt and recirculating systems. the idea is awesome, i have yet to see it work in other systems. check out dmt mfts here. he got 1/2 the yield he should have. that was the first mft run with ph perfect, and he insisted so i acquiessed , mm

Thanks for your input!

i am considering the jungle juice. the price is great at the An online store... so would you add h2o2 to the mix of B52, BigBud/Overdrive in an Aero system's rez?

Well here's some pics from day 14 I'll be pruning them up tomorrow. The leaves are all curled from some horrid little thrip that keeps coming back. Pyganic and spinosad were sprayed and the numbers are way down now. They are a bitch cause you can't even see them without a 30x loupe. I am going to restart from seed these things are as bad as RA plus they colonize and destroy the lower buds. The plants are still growing well but not optimal. They drank 10 gallons of water and dropped the nutrients by .75ec in the last 2 days.

i would add 35% hyox to 1.6ml/l and 29% hyox @ 1.9ml/l.

from clone or seed to harvest, hyox is the best thing ive ever used to increase germination, seedling and clone root times and survivability rates, faster growth, bigger roots, greener plants, more resin and bigger buds. and its soooooo cheap. u can clean your whole grow and everything in it too. ive always called it chronic tonic. totally cleans everything in the mfts @ 10ml/liter for 24 hours then replant after running straight water through, mm

ps there more stuff too just sound like a broken record....

pss this is for kits

hey highonmnt

thrips are the werst. u can try hyox @ 30ml/liter and iso at 20 ml/liter every couple days. never had thrips once in mfts. now that i think about it. azamax should be good too. maybe better becuase u can run it thru the rez. those are gona be some heffers u got ther partner, where yer scrog old man lol haha. if its week 2 they should be cleaned and scrogged, mm

thanks again - I'm going to most definitely try it out with Aero!

be careful about the b52, its has humics and some other potential clogger solids. maybe go with something a little more watered down, like vitamax, aussie tonic or thrive alive red bottle, mm

thanks again - I'm going to most definitely try it out with Aero!

Ya man life is high entropy for me right now. Just trying to get insulated for winter and windows replaced...and raise my kids, run my business....but I did get them cleaned up and I might go with yo yo's cause I got em. So how much azamax should I add to the rez, and do I need to rinse off the hyox or ipa sprays. Thanks for all the advice I'm really enjoying watching these plants grow in this system. This system is also pretty stable, I let the rez go down to about 5 gallons last week when I was away for 3 days and the plants looked great infact they had grown amazingly large with no signs of deficiencys. The ec was 1.5 and the pH was 5.8 and more than 10gallons of water had been consumed. EC started at 1.8 and ph was 5.8. I can really see why Heath Robinson likes these nutes.

VP thanks for the compliment and the tip...HM

Thrips = Lorsban 4E.

Dead on impact.

Grow looks good.

Just went looking for info on lorsban and found a big Hell NO I'm not using that around my kids or myself. Lungcancer suspect, neurological deficits in exposed children and linked to adhd .This stuff is a presistant organophosphate that collects in the body, found in 91 percent of urine samples but much less in those who eat an organic diet. I'm going to go organic with the pest control from now on. No rip intended VP just wear a respirator if you spray this stuff and careful leaving it or using it around kids.

anything can be safe when used correctly.

the medman method starts with seeds or elite moms. if anything is the matter with them, . treat moms so you dont have to treat your production site later. no one wants to smoke any bud that has any residue of anykind in or out of the buds weather it neem, brix or avid etc. with 75 days cycles and clean mamas, u will never have any issues. unless you have beasters for friends and allow their untreated company in any of your production areas, mm

Yes sir that was my downfall .happy healthy mammas mean healthy kids was always what I lived by pesticides etc for my moms and no problems except the occasional minor mold issue.... Then I got tied up with a rookie gaper outfit that was plagued by bugs you name it ra, thrips, the borg , pm. They were churning out massive plant numbers with crap yeilds in soil grows and they were just general hacks. But the boom was on and I got lured in by buckets of money and saved their bacon but in doing it ended up with bad bugs in my personal grow. Live and learn I guess.

So my next move is finish this run and chuck all my gear that can't be sterilized again. Bleach the room again and leave it empty for a while then fire up some seeds.

I am going to start spraying with alternating peroxide spray and ipa spray tomorrow and see how it does. I will assume there is no rinse needed.

I am also going to build a system for my friend with MS after I harvest and clean up. Now that I got this thing running pretty good I can get him set up to make his own medicine. He was a ski and biking buddy of mine an amazing athlete but is now only able to walk a few steps and spends most of his day in a wheel chair or walker. Fuked up shiit MS. But he gets alot of relief from cannabis so I want to make his life easier and less expensive. This table system is sheer genius..just about like it was designed by a broke ass ski bum in a wheelchair...cheap as dirt to build and operate but stellar elite growth rates..Cheers guys,
