Wicked sweet grow man!!!!!! It shows how much you really love your plants!!!!! I love mine too. This time of the year for me is when I feel the best about my plants,cause reaping the rewards of a well grown crop is the best. Thanks for showing such a nice set of set-up's.

Nice job trend! I dig seeing colorado dudes showing what's up.
I've been looking at NM and gonna try a trial. Been hearing GREAT things about NM and with fascilitator. After seeing your room tick up one for the team.
Good job bro!

The millennium is the truth. Not to say its the end all of nutrients I'm sure someone will make a better one eventually or they will update ect. But for now it does great. Fairly cheap too far as bottles go. If you try I recommend you go very light on the lightning or thunder that's some strong stuff.

You gotta love doing this or you won't be any good at it. For me I'm competitive so I love when I get out done or see someone on my heels, keeps me on my toes and steps my game up. Breaking personal records is what makes it fun for me other than that its just back breaking :biggrin:

Hey trend I got another question I forgot to ask. Do you defoliate at all? If so do you do it after the stretch is done? And at certain wks? Say end of wk 3 then some at wk 5 then some more at say wk7?
Im just curious because I have a waaaaaay smaller but similar setup and this is my first run using a coco perlite mix dtw. Scrog. I use to do promix 3 gal pots for years but am loving this coco so far. Except for the fact I literally have a jungle of growth so thick I dunno what to do other than defoliate. Please teach me the ways
Thanks in advance.

I deleaf when I have time, strain dependent also. Start around day 35 on a 65 day strain. A little each day or every couple days all the way up til flush at which time you should be done. Then they get a good 10 days to swell up and relax in the water bath. I just look from the perspective of the bulb coming into canopy and see whats shading, then I only remove what is needed.

One last push is what we're chanting as I beg for them to give me all they got.

Hey trend when u give your ten day water bath for flushing is that straight water only? And do u bother adjusting the ph at all? My tap water is roughly 7.0ph 10ppm. Just curious as im ten days from chop.

First feed half strength then 1/4 strength then water with a carb for few days to sustain energy. Then ph'd tap. If I got the time I go few days ro. Its best to not shoch them with pure water you can burn them surprisingly.

Interesting, I've found the same thing. If I go straight to RO water it crispifies every leaf within a couple days.

If I use Canna Boost and Cannazyme I'm fine even though these products don't really measure E.C.

Maybe I'll try 2 days of RO at the very end but I'm getting white ash as it is and pretty good flavors from the Boost.

Hey Trend,

I don't post much on here but do spend a lot of time on here reading. Your Thread is one of my favorite so far. Im sure more folks would tune in if this was in Grow Diaries. But its way better here for us coco growers to feed off of.

I am very interested in NM Nutes now. Right now i run H&G with 20 mls per gallon of Full Power Fulvic Acid on DTW set up.

I have a few ? for you:

1. What type of Coco do u use
2. Do you mix it with anything?
3. Do you let your pots get dry out a bit or are they always wet?
4. What kind and how much fulvic acid do you use?
5. Do you keep your ppms lower since you use the fulvic acid?
6. If I were to switch to NM nutes how would I get it in Cali?

The guys at Full Power told me that I needed to come way down on my nutes when using the fulvic. My A and B are at 4mls per in flower, with a little adjusting throughout the grow. Like right now im on day 11 of flower and my ppms are around 580. I use well water that comes out of the tap at 220ppms. Ive been growing for 2 years now and fulvic is something ive just started using. I consider myself a rookie grower as I am on my 2nd year. I do grow really finicky strains. Tahoe OG and Girl Scout Cookie Thin Mint.

If you have any advice for me please feel free. Anyways thank you for sharing your unreal grow. Cheers

Great job Trend!! Making Colorado Proud, but I have to ask could you please stop growing so much weed?!?! The prices are too low as it is =P

Anyway you say you don't see a point in doing anything bigger than 2 gallon pots as you got 1100+ grams from your vertical room.

I assume that is per light and not per plant? I would love to see a 2.5 LBer in a 2 gallon pot that would make my Christmas :peacock:

This room setup looks very similar to something I did up a lil while back, are you in CO by chance? Either way, clean setup. Dig the use of vertizontal hoods :biggrin:

No sir I meant per container, I'll see If I got any old pics of some. Long as roots are healthy there's no reason to run bigger other than less waterings.

Yes in CO. I love vertis on most days. I'll try to update soon. Been super slammed as of late but things should slowed down for the holidays I'm hoping. Yields were down barely hit 2per with best lights around 2.31 and worst around 1.4 the lack of veg time and lower temps really hurt us.That and the fact I left lights on for 24 hours accidentally in week 4 didn't help. Nothing herm'd though so its whatever. On to the next which is looking proper thus far.

1. Canna or bcuzz
2. Perlite #3 or hydroton
3. Yes I treat coco more like soil and go thru wet/dry cycles. Better results when hand watering then constant wet.
4. Ruby from millenium. About 5ml/gal
5. Not really. I keep them lower during aptus feeds. I never felt fulvic allows lower feed. I believe in reading the plants. The more they can take the better. But for me that's around 1.6-1.7 max ec. Veg around 1.2ec.
