Thanks for stopping in brother. Yes the node stackage on these plants is insane, and I topped them 3xs so they are very bushy. I'm hoping they stretch a little to make up for the bushiness.

I've been mostly experimenting with V&B Dirty 1 Part and various offerings from MB Ferts. In the future, my veg will consist of V&B Dirty for the base, with some Ocra, SM-90, and MB Ferts Vita-Boost. That will pretty much be it.

For flowering, I won't be using the V&B Dirty. Rather, I'll be using the MB Ferts 2 Part Base, with their Vita Boost, Early PK Boost, and Late PK Boost. Of course I have Silica, CAMG, and Aquashield on hand if needed.

& you'll make room for her in every run from now on out , once you get a taste of her :biggrin:

shes going to need support when the buds start stacking , so keep that in mind . best results come from her when a net is involved .

Get a roll of string, 'cause you are going to have to tie those bitches up when they start to sag, especially after topping. I just wrap string around the whole plant, lifting up the sagging branches as the buds weigh them down. A few times around with the string will pull all the branches up and you will be good to go. In the future, you will do better with 100% coco, and I also recommend Hempy buckets for increased yield, and vertical lighting, to increase available light by at least 40%. Never seen plants grow like with bare bulbs. Especially tall plants with stacked bulbs. No popcorn, no lollipopping. Fat buds from top to bottom. You can keep bare bulbs closer to plants than you can with any hood/reflector, as they reflect heat also. I've had bare bulbs 10-12 inches from plants with no burning. Must put a fan on the floor, under the bulb(s), blowing heat upwards, away from plants. Check the vert section.

Forgot to mention, the MNS SCROG is done in just a scant 55 days of flower. Looks like GG's long lost cousin with that frost content :)

Lol, thanks?

Man I'm jealous of your genetics!

I hope you get a better pheno of the 818 than i did !!!

garbage dude !!! no taste , no flavor ..... buzz was ok .... but not what i expected . they were taken down at 65 at 95% cloudy , which is where i usually like it . but i have 2 more larger ones in flower now at 49 days & i'll let them go till i get a decent amount of amber this time , just to see if it gets any better . if not ..... shes history !!!

lol .... i think this is why seed breeders don't like me doing tests for them .... i get brutally honest !! :biggrin:

I was given a cutting of what I was told was headband, I assume it was cc, I was under the impression it was tgd real deal, but it had no flavor no smell and average buzz. it did, however, grow the biggest buds I've ever grown... that wasn't enough to make up for what it was lacking( everything else).

your garden is looking super healthy ICOVO... I'll be lurking:biggrin:

Sorry to hear about your headband. I've seen HB go either way, either SUPER fire or really sub par. Rarely consistent, but in fact, the best HB I ever saw was on the East Coast. No clue if it was from a breeder or what, but it was definitely nicer than any HB I've seen in California. I'm hoping to get one keeper out of the five, they are all very nice plants at this point, but the yield and smell shall be the determining factors.

just noticed you've got the shark shock . have you grown it out & flowered it yet ? i've got a pack here i've been setting on & was wondering if it was worth it or not . i grabbed it cuz its one of the strains that makes up my Biesel . & the GWS is the only one of the 3 that make up the Biesel that i haven't run yet .

Dan, that bud pic a couple posts back is the SS! I would definitely run it at least once, but I didn't run from seed so I'm a little biased. My cut finishes QUICK and HEAVY so no complaints here.

Thanks for the love! I'll have some new pictures shortly, I've just got another day or two of fan leafing before its all set. Just rolling on 18-19 days and the girls are STACKING! I've been using a big regiment from MB Ferts and they are performing great so far. Did I mention their stuff is cheap?!

Im rocking their Bloom A & B, Plant Flusher, Vita-Boost, and Early-PK Boost. At day 28 I continue all that but switch the Early-PK Boost to Late-PK Boost (aka Overdrive equivalent).

looks good, Try going with 2 gallon fabric pots next time. I have found the 3 gallons are detrimental with coco

why is that ??? every coco grower i know is using 3 gallon pots myself included & Killing it with them !!! you sure it wasn't grower error ? not saying anything bad about you cuz i know nothing about you or your growing ..... just saying .... 3 gallon pots of coco are producing VERY WELL for quite a few of us .

i was using 3 gallon as well from advice from this forum then found I did better with 2 gallon with more regular feedings. If you look at some of my previous posts i left some coco plants in 1 liter pots and they were yielding 4oz

Actually,, that's not true, Dan. You know I have posted pix of 2 gallon Hempys that out produced my 5 gallons by a wide margin. That's with daily drenching.
Not saying you can't get good results with 3 or any other size bucket, just that 2 gallon buckets are more efficient per gallon/size of bucket. Also more labor intensive, so I can see why someone with large plant numbers would prefer not to have to water daily.
