I hear ya mate nice to sleep easy lol. You never said what was in that generic boost of yours... I'm definitely going back to slabs myself. Have been using compost for a bit now for the ease and flexibility but veg time and yield suck, well yield doesn't suck so much but I know it could be soooo much better using coco as before. Probably have one for after summer when it cools down again and my jars are running dry
that boost isn't actually the same, the cheapo one is green while the canna boost is black or dark brown. they also don't smell the same. but it's impossible to tell how it's working right now as the AD isn't perfectly dialed in yet, underfed them at a strategically important point this run and as a result the leaves were always a bit too light in color for the stage of the grow. in the end i'm inclined to go back to basics next run and not bother with any boost, that stuff isn't needed for good yields, but there again the canna boost does seem to speed up the ripening a bit. might be ideal for the next run where half the box will be growing SourAmnesia which is a minimum 10 week strain.
WOW.
Stunning Gaiusmarius. Absolutely stunning. I am sorry that she did not make it to the Dam in time. :-((
you and i both man, would have been great to have my afghan diesel to share with you all. oh well maybe next time, eh.
Are those Coco bags that you grow in a one time thing, or do you reuse them for your next grow?
How many plants are there and how big is your space? How come you are not using maylar instead of a white wall. Would you not get better yield if there was maylar on the wall?
the coco slabs can be used 4 times easily, just use enzymes of one kind or another from the second time round. that's why i love the coco so much, you only have to lug it around 1 time a year
this space is 110cm by 220cm it has 40 plants growing under 2 x 600watt magnetic hps lamps.
to be quite honest i created this setup mostly with second hand stuff including the panda plastic on the walls. i just used the wall covering that i already had around.
i personally don't believe new Mylar will increase my yield greatly, i'm a great believer in dialing in and perfect conditions to increase yield. but i guess the Mylar is a few % more efficient at reflecting light then the black and white plastic.
Update - day 42 of 12/12
well as you can see in the pics we are slowly getting there, this AD is a damn fast strain, i bet it would already smoke well at day 49 of 12/12, but i like my stuff fully ripe so will let them go on till 8 weeks.
still runing the ec at 1.5 while i let the ph drift up a bit to 6.2 as the return ph is 4.4, lol.
