10lbs 4oz under 4kw's grown with next to nothing - K.I.S.S.!!!!!!
- Thread starter Strainhunter
- Start date
since my water was extremely high in calcium i had to dump huge amounts of ph down in it.
now i don't use any ph adjusters at all. i recently checked the reservoir under a plant i had just harvested and it was 5.8 at 887 ppm after 9 weeks of input. no change outs.
Haha I used to do the same thing when growing outdoors some time back.
My water came from a pond sitting in Limestone...I ended up using Muriatic acid by the gallon since it was the cheapest. I went through 4 Gallons of it every week!
shhh dont let the secret out . everyone knows you need fancy labels and overpriced ferts to grow weed. lol

950 at what conversion?
funny! i will be putting exactly 56 bubbas into flower next week! under 4kw!! what a damn coincidence. i will shit myself though if i get 10+lb
also, i'm sure your veg time had something to with yield.. maybe i should let mine go a month just as a guarantee haha
SoQuick is still legend to me, 1+gpw with NO veg time..
edit: 950ppm, holy shit! i wonder what is in your water.? whatever it is, must be working...
Salt contamination. Just plain old sea salt.
High strainhunter, nice pull there. I'd bet your work there keeps you in high respect there on the island.
I have an idea about getting your water ppm's down, its called a BioSand filter. Do you all have any sand there? (haha) Thats about all you need and a barrel or bucket, a few pipe fittings and a little pipe. It works by bacteria, that naturally forms in the top few inches of sand, that consume the nutrients in the water. They also consume other bacteria that can make you sick. I've seen videos of people that have these and their water turns out to have very low ppms. Its very easy to set up, but may take a week or two to get established.
here is a diagram of one:

i see your in a container but what is the total area you are growing in... also how long did you let these go... 2 months in cups and 4 weeks in 2 gallons is a great amount of veg time do you have to cut them back when in the cups?
great result well done heading over to your other threads now for a nosey

You said your water was 950ppm. So I was asking at which conversion are you getting that 950ppm figure.
now you need to bottle that seawater and claim incredible yield increases. like most companies do. all you need is a fancy label and be a good lier. if you can get a picture of a sexy chick off the beach in a bikini all the better

look at the rawfood dickheads like david wolfe, that fool sells gallons of ocean water for 20 dollars, yep folks one gallon of ocean water for 20, and people will actually pay it.
congrats on the huge pull but them buds look like reg grown semi well, stuff that i get for as of lately around here at 20 dollars for 2-3 grams.

ouch^^^ got any macros?
No idea man, I stick the meter in the water the way it comes out of the well and it reads a steady 950PPM and that's it.
The well is 2,650 feet deep I believe.
The actual grow room is about 15x7.5 but not maxed out with plants to make it easier shifting them around for the watering.
They are kinda dormant while in the cups but explode once transplanted in to the 2 Gallon pots.
No I do not cut them back while in the cups but heavily lollipop them the day I put them in to 12/12.
Next time I will trim them from the bottom up even more...about 3/4 instead 2/3 like last time.

DAMN 10 p's off 4 lights just using jacks, all those guys spending thousands on millions of different AN bottles need to see this grow, keeping it simple is the best way. Props to you man.
