Nice thread and diggin all the pics, indifferent.
Nice thread and diggin all the pics, indifferent.
good info thanks
I've grown in soil but also used coco from the start, having seen the results side by side, I can't imagine how anyone goes back to organic after seeing the results using canna coco .. it'd break my heart... thats more likely due to my inexperiance though as I know some "soil guys" get fantastic yields using the old mud system
fair play though, coco is immense stuff even if it is a bit more work
edit and here's perhaps some explaination of my PP love affair... my first grow.. I did PP plants (4 or 5 of em) that were 85g each dried n cured... in the same grow the PP in soil avg'd 30-40 (under 850w hps)
ahhh what what I forgot to mention there was... spidermites heat and fruit flies over the summer and the next pp in coco putting out 8g per plant *sniff*
Those top calyces look pretty nicely swollen for 30-something days - almost as if she's preggers.
And plenty of stalky trichs. Even if the yield isn't fantastic, should be a good smoke..or hash or oil.
Do you bother with dry sieve or bubble at all..or do you prefer to go for the oil every time? I can certainly see the attraction of oil (quick to make) compared to all the monkeying about you need for hash.
mate, my mood is seriously affected by my garden, hell I even start arguements with well versed connoiseurs like yerself oddly though, I'm kinda glad I did.. me n you have much in common, even if you do seem to know a damn sight more than me
You're right there eh Blimey about it looking to be good smoke. those sucky plants I grew yielded incredably poorly (most strains I've grown avg around 60g) the smoke was fantastic though... almost like super concentrate
you can both have a laugh now but it made me wonder... if a plant had a set amount of resin to offer (like an elephant has heartbeats) and you didnt give her anywhere to put it (ie grew cronky wee plants) would she still try n pump her quota into those tiny buds... maybe not, but it's a consoling thought
gotta say Indifferent, the yield mightn't look good, but your buds do and for me as a non mersh grower, thats always foremost..
I could grow 500 grams of wank, but I'd sooner have 50 grams of summat I loved
and here's another thing
the mud brigade insist bio grown taste better... hmmm maybe some does.. but man I can tell you amongst my friends those buds grown in coco seem to actually be the superior smoke. I dont know if it's because the buds swell so much that they ripen better or maybe becuase they're so well fed they mature fully ..or what it is, but with the right flush I think its actually better.....(i expect a lot of hate mail for saying that out loud ...hehhehee)
