Excellent....i wish I could see your ops but....no worries...good pics are good.
your not adding aminos to grow spray anymore? how are the X nutes workin for ya? still 5ml per in spray cocktail?
oops, missed the amino blast...
Yeah, this time I did 30 ml Grow spray, and 15 ml Aminos...
Love the nutes! Running the full line according to their schedule, but at half strength...
I have been chatting with the owner still, she was supposed to be in town tonight so I could hook her up with a sample, but didn't work out.
She sent me a message the other day about some growers up in the emerald triangle who reported off the chart yields and potency using the bloom booster from week 1, rather than 3-4...

I have to check my notes and get back to you.
I started with RO water at 7.5 PH and 0 EC.
Added half strength Cal/Mag to .2 EC, added another 30 ml to bring it to .4 EC
Added 300 ml Grow to 1.1 EC
Added 225 ml Micro to 1.6 EC
Added 225 ml Amino Blast to 1.7 EC
PH ended up at 5.9 with no adjustments.
Everything but the Cal/Mag was half strength for a 30 gal res. There is no fucking way I would even think about growing anything at 3 EC!
Even as is, I think it is a tad hot for my liking, but they were hungry since I was real busy lately. If I get wonky leaves or tip burn I will top off with RO...
I don't like going over 1.4 EC, especially with Sativa dominant strains.
One of the reasons I wanted to chat with her was to give her this feedback with the sample. She, (as most nute manufacturers these days) is obviously 215 friendly, but I am having second thoughts about typing some of this... I was hoping to get her to kick me down for some testing since I will have 8 donuts that are each independent and perfect for side by sides... But at less than $20 a gallon, and the results, I should be happy. But, I am Scottish so I make copper wire from pennies, or was that the Jews, lol...
Off to go feed my remote site...

So Icky........Tell me how yas get the paper off of it at 100 degrees without it rippin and tearin every couple ft ?..........
I`m a Homebuilder but have used many many squares of Grace peel and stick membrane for the bottom runs around the outside perimeters of a roof system , as well as up the rakes on elevated 1/2 gables , as well as dormers....and......
I need your secret cuz my roofers can`t use the shit after lunch in the summer.....and maybe it was over 100 when the paper started stickin , but hey........
Just tell me howta work it in extreme heat and humidity so I can teach my roofers what they`re doin wrong.........
Increased productivity under extreme conditions where I live is needed.......
Thanks Bro....DHF.....
......
The best thing I can tell you is to only peel off just enough to get it started. Then you will be pulling the film as you press it into contact with your substrate. When you see people peeling off 4-5 feet of film, you may as well just wrap it around him...
When I get back I gotta check out those X-nutes .....very happy for you man THIS is gunna be a great year for you and your family!

It takes some skill. You staple it down with the paper still on. Roll it out about fifteen feet and line it up where it is suppose to go. Use a new razor blade and gently slice the paper on the back. You must use a new blade and be very careful because you can easily slice the membrane. Peel up the paper and roll it till the membrane is almost touching the roof deck, line it back up where you want it. Then roll it out pulling the paper as you go till the alignment is off or you have reached the end of your run. Then go back and pull up the section where you had stapled it earlier. Roll this back to where the peel section is attached to the deck and then pull up the paper and pull it back out where it just was. I have done this at 105 degrees and it works nearly every time. I did this to the front of a house when the framers wouldn't work because it was to hot. I finished the roof before the framing crew was done. It can be done and I have done it. Adapt and over come just like you say all the time. Where there is a will there is a way. This is how I roofed for many years by my self.

Yo Arminius... whats that screen material and where did you get it? I just read this whole log...im getting ready to run that same USD. Thx for taking me to school...and great grow.
ME too, well worth it, i will keep lurking man, im digging this tread,lots of great input on coco, gotta love that!!!
This thread needs pics mang!
Sorry guys, been too busy to do a decent update. I have my tents with 35 of my best plants yet harvesting in 3-4 weeks. I will likely start a new thread soon since my location and set up has drastically changed for the better.
I have a bunch of good things I am working on, such as the "plinko wall of clones" and my ever expanding bonsai collection.
My goal is to keep as many mothers as needed to fill more than just my 3 flower rooms. I will continually have 2-300 cuts in cubes at all times. They will then go into 3" pots in trays with drippers and timed feeds. I am seeing such ridiculous results from the multiple feeds per day, I figure why not bump it up a notch and do the same thing in veg...
When I am finished, my 10x10 veg room will have shelves from floor to ceiling on at least 2, if not 3 walls. They will start on one side, and travel down the line as they develop and are ready to be thrown into the 4x8 tray under HID. That way I will constantly have the best of the best to choose from, and sell the rest...
I will do my best to at least put up a couple of shots tonight when lights come on.
My 4x8 tent is in the middle of week 6 right now, and the Straw Chem D are going crazy! Can't wait to see them at 10 weeks...
I have 2 4x8 tents as well about the same time frame. One has 8 plants in a donut, while the other has 9 plants under a hood.
I have 7 plants ready to go into flower at my remote site. I have 6 ECSD, and 1 USD that have been topped a couple of times, and will be thrown into the 4x6 table under a screen. I have gotten to know these two strains very well, and I know I could fill the room with 4 of these beasts, let alone 7...

Here is my 4x4 vert tent after end of stretch about 10 days ago.
Here are most of the girls after a hair cut.
Blue Dragon
HK#1
Back in their tent
Overhead
As you can see, I still need to get in there, and tie those rear branches to the screen around the light and fill up that canopy. I still have a solid 3 weeks left on these, but those pics are almost 2 weeks ago...
I will try to get some current shots tonight, but I wanted to at least satisfy the photo requests.
I already have my next two rooms selected also. I have 12 Chem D's Sisters, 40 HK#1, and 30 Blue Dragon to choose from. I will take the best 50 and put them into flower by Jan 1st. After that it's off to the fucking races!
