morning everyone! cruise control here as well...stretching as usual!

Woke up to the first dusting of snow this morning...dogs werent too excited when i let them out this mornin. :shucks:

Was wondering if any of you guys use House & Gardens line at all? On my 3rd run with it and seems to outperform anything else ive ever run. Not a huge fan of mixing numerous bottles, but ive pretty much got it memorized now and only check PH cause im wierd like that :biggrin:

waddup WL ??? Canna is the same way , but once ya get used to all the bottles its pretty simple . never used H & G . but canna gives me results i like . & i haven't even tried the boost yet . i might have to on some of the stretchy girls to keep them shorter & the nodes tighter .

oc, yep just a regular old dry pipe. Has a nice five hole bowl for a makeshift screen. Hit's real nice, I would recommend one for sure. It's bigger than I thought it would be.

twl, I used to run H&G and liked it a lot. Switched to Canna when they became available in my town and like it as well.

Like you I've found the right amounts to use so that I don't have to check ph. I still do so I guess I should say I don't have to fix ph.

Only time I do have to is when I use pk13/14, that shit requires a lot of ph down but it's only one week/one barrel so not a big deal.

Thanks guys! Yeah i seem to like the H&G line. There US based office is up in Lake Tahoe so i went and visited them and talked product a bit. Alan sent me home with their full line and 6 liters of both their A&B.....not to mention a bag of their coco and a ton of lighters. :woohoo:

Still have plenty of base but running out of Roots Excel and Top Shooter....god damn those products are pricey

I run pretty much the entire line short of algen and magic green....they are thick and clog my drippers up.

back from riding,another awesome little run,knee is feeling better every day,back to at least 90% now....getting hard to keep from pushing it,i was feeling really relaxed breathing wise,only felt like i was at like 50% of my aerobic capacity...another couple weeks of light riding and getting my road form back and i think i could probably do 20 miles in an hour or less....dont think i could hold that pace for 2 hours,but i will get there...



wl that magic green is the bomb as a foliar feed,never used it on mj plants but i have seen it bring back some pretty gnarly houseplants...

I met a big grower at a canna related lecture/convention recently. Honestly he was probably the biggest grower in the US...grow ops in every state, you name it he had an op there, medical or not, multiple 2000 lighters in colorado, etc.
I am pretty sure he is the guy that taught JackMayOffer, thats what he does, set up successfull grows. Anyway he told me that his bill for canna boost was 900k last year, he wasnt bsing either..He said it was the best product out there and he ever spent 10's of thousands trying to have a chemist reverse engineer it to no avail...I use dry fertilizers with great results, im about to look into canna boost as a foliar after meeting this guy..He also ONLY USED GAVITAS.. this guy wasn't hawking stuff, I got all this info out of him after some long convos...all im saying is I would give the boost a try..

I'm glad to see somebodys having good results with Reds stuff .... i didn't with either strain . I don't think he liked my negative comments on it either cuz i haven't heard a word from him sense . oh well ..... i thought breeders wanted good results as well as bad ..... but i guess not .

breeders are people too,and prone to the same strengths and failings...

i must have hit the bicycle window of time today...saw more people out on bikes than usual...a group of the senior riders were out,always good to see people 70+ still out riding....actually it occurs to me now that everyone i saw on a bike was retirement age really,except a couple of drunks on bikes...


lol,i dont need stuff like that wl,my fridge is just now recovering from my stint working in a grow shop,its finally emptying out of all the freebies...heck,im wearing a hydrofarm t shirt this second so i got plenty of free booty from the shop...

Still trying figure out how I can incorporate foliar boost into my room. I don't dare spray during lights on with the open lights and lights out is at 5 am.

Maybe go in 5 minutes before lights on and spray in the dark? Still might have spray on the bulbs though when they come on.?
