this has seriously been the most interesting thread i have read with great information, even for growers just starting out like myself. thank you CC1 and i know you will be keeping up the great work!
Thanks bro...
One of the reasons I do/show this here.... for the people like you.

People need to know how to grow herb w/out all the commonly accepted 30 year old hyrdo-brainwashology and the idea that you need any more than what I'm showing here to grow high quality medicine for patients.....this is what it's all about.
Organic flowers grown in organic living soil are best..no point in even debating that in this thread ....just in case any troll thinks about it.:)

The 30 year old hydro brainwashing is being replaced by the damned organic ferts in a bottle brainwashing. Given how good and cheap natural soil growing is I don't get why more aren't doing it. Must be the pretty labels on all the bottled products.

Just started looking into this thread lately, I never looked at because I wasn't thinking of using any of the soil around me.... But come to find Capt just killing it. Congrats on your beauties!!!

She's a beauty.....been calling them 'ToBar's' for short...the proper name will be
'Kashmala Moon' at the F3 and further...it means "necklace of flowers" in Pashto I believe...(Afghánistán)

These are 1 week behind the rest of the types in flower...at 4 weeks not 5.....in case you were wondering why they look a week 'small'...

Look at the curled sugar leaf with the resin set on the inner edges - classic T.O. 'indicator' for lack of a better word.

That's an odd expression to hold with her crosses isn't it?

I feel both the TO and BMR are unstable, I think this combination of genetics kind of cleaned up the canvas a bit,yet there is still quite a bit of variance in the F1's. Some are clearly better than others. I just picked up some anally made CS and I think I'm going to reverse TO and see what happens. Check the S1's for consistency and uniformity..the only way to really tell.

I'm noticing a common jumbled theme in the varied phenotypes.....that's why I gave the Blue Orca the hit from the NL/Haze instead...maybe she's a bit more stable. Also hit the G13/Haze and Mazar-i-Shariff with the NL/Haze male....two objectives there,I'm sure most can guess what they are.
Peace CC1~

30 amps should be fine,considering you stagger lamp firing times...I'd do 40 just to remove doubt. You can always do the math. 4k in a 10 x 10 will create heat issues. I'd cool all 4k with vented hoods,and pull it through an 8 inch centrifugal with a speed control and cooling thermostat...8 inch exhaust at least.
