Haven't posted anything in a while... been meaning to.
Here's SFV OG Kush... one of the finer examples I've grown. This plant was in 3 gallons of pure coco coir, fed Gen Hydro 3-part at 5.8-6.1 pH and a top PPM of 1200, but averaged about 900-1000. Every third watering was without nutrient, pH'd at 5.8-6.1. I used Gen Hydro's Floraliscious Plus to give a boost of natural enzymes and humic acids... adds some flavor. I'm not, and never have been, completely satisfied with the level of smell/taste that Gen Hydro's 3-part system provides, so I'm always poking and prodding the formula to get the best of both worlds... Simplicity AND total satisfaction. The holy grail.
Recently, I have been switching between Pure Blend Pro and Gen Hydro, alternating feedings during bloom phase. So far so good, but DAMN is that PBP some hot stuff! I can't get much more than 700 PPMs into the water before the pH drops below 5.8... so I go light on that stuff. I have noticed a difference in the resin smell and texture already... but the proof is in the pudding (the smoke). We shall see.
This lady yielded 5.5 ounces of extremely kind bud.
The weight of the top bud caused her to sag a bit:
Dried and cured:
Other varieties and notes to follow...
