i just violently shaked it for a few min.... the mixer would make it ez and fast tho.
on second thought to your Q....
if i were to run only 2 part + ro id run connisuer
i was thinking of a side-by-side with dif base nutes.
with alot of suppliments the base nutes become less important...
thanks. awesome grow man, as far as lighting is concerned, do you use galaxy digital/electronic ballasts? I wanted to buy a digi/elec light but reliability issues has me really hesitant. I mean if the ballast lasts me 2 years I'm fine with that, just dont want it crapping out after a few cycles, in your opinion which is the best digital on the market? or should I just go with a good magnetic? thanks bro, good karma headed your way
i have 3 galaxy's and 1 lumatek(all 600w), if i were to re-buy id go galaxy all the way. my lumi 'buzzez' the cord is un-nervingly loose, and its fixed @ 240v
my galaxies are all from 06' and are flawless, fast spark, never an issue,
my other ballasts cosist of 6 "powerhouse" (american made HF)1K hps's and 1 SS 1K MH and a coil 400W.
THE BEST ballast out now IMO has to be the Quantium.... there ONLY and i mean ONLY problem is they cant spark the dual-arc bulbs.(nbd...)
checkout maxyield hes got a huge point.Just to throw in my opinion.. I have used MANY lines of nutes and i thought i liked Biotanicare pure bend pro line the best and i used it for many many grows and i was talking to a lady at my hydro shop and she was giving me the sales pitch on liquid light... i was thinking yea right.. bitch just wants to sell me a $60 bottle of shit that aint gonna work.. so i get home and start re-searching and reading.. and doing more work and then i go back and get bottles of just dutch master grow A+B and Flower A+B and did a test run in my 2x2 tray.... NEEDLESS TO SAY it out performed biotanicare by a long shot.. bigger colas better faster groth AND NO nut deff.. Now i use dutchamaster gold A+B gorw and flower, MAX grow and flower, silica, zone, and penetrator + liquid light during veg and the first few weeks of flower along with bloombastic.. but i gotta say the shit is AMAZING.. its a fucking god sent.. Now i have tried AN and it worked well.. i think alot is personal preferance, i have some friends that SWEAR and i mean SWEAR by biotanoicare, and some tha SWEAR SWEAR SWEAR by just organic but when i am consistantly getting bigger plants with better yeilds with denser buds i believe SOME of it has to do with the nutes,, because before they would outgrow me.. now they are amazed and Dutchamster is my little secret.. eventhough they know..
enough with the nutes.. GREAT GROW and i wish u the best and cant wait to see the harvest!!! PEACE
~POE~
(edit) btw you are correct Zone is the SHIT!!! best all around nute i have ever found.. not only have i ever had root rot using it i also never have powder mildew anymore.. a little bit a zone with some penetrator and say goodbye to pm for good!!
~POE~
hi digi and all the rest of ya,
seems like you've got quite the following of new guys. this looks like the place to soak up lots of great info. i'm watchin and learnin so if ya don't mind i'd like to hang out here and see ya make them bitches scream... "flower me now!!" ...that's awesome. lol
enjoy the show, hit me up if you have any Q's
It was my understanding that nutes do NOT improve your yield. But environment is what will improve your yield. Once you hit the plants "sweet" spot that is it, they can only take a certain amount of nutes. But environmental conditions is what can really increase your yield. So a lot of these supplements are a waste of money, from what I have seen. Like in Lucas formula, 8-16 is all the plant needs to survive and thrive no additive's needed. Just my .02
Hell of a grow by the way!! Nice stuff!
as i stated earlier "just survive" isnt in my vocabulary...
a person can live off top-ramen with milk and water, but to grow healthy u need all sources of food.
ive got a control for every aspect of my grow, over-heat control, so they never get above 90, temp so there always @75-85, CO2 controller to smash them with gas. dehumy & controller to ensure 40% RH, photo controler for the mover, 7 fans make the room a veriable WIND TUNNEL so i would have to agree yea your right....
BUT once you created THE BAHAMAS in the room nutes can make a differance. alot of people enjoy growing all-organic, that can be hectic.
i enoy AN because ive used it for so many years, i have all the ml/l memorized, its like second nature to me. alot of times i dont even measure, just a dribble of juice from the bottle.
trimming is important too. someone i know lost alot of yield because his plants were stiffled to death, too lazy to trim.
ive learned last few years less ppm is better then more.
Huh.
In order to get no odor,I would have to vacuum-seal my "GH-grown" Chemdog 2-3x,with a layer of "fabreeze",between the layers,in order for it to be truly odor-free.
Otherwise you can smell it about a city block away,and you cannot carry it in public without an air-tight container.
(And I mean air tight!!) ....And roaches? Fuggitaboutit'!
I also get equal to > greater than yields than my "organic" friends do,per watt.
Oh,and my pot burns clean,white ash,and the joint stays evenly lit. The organics I sample rarely ever meet that test. I don't grow "working weed",at all,but I can tell you that what I do grow,is very highly regarded,by the people who it's given to. (I don't sell weed,there's no point for me to,all things considered.)
My personal variation on the "Lucas Formula" (called "The Recipe",see the Sticky in my forum for details) gets FAR better results than the plain-jane,older,"Lucas" version. I spent about ten years tweaking it,and anyone who's seen The Old Lucas Formula vs. The Recipe,in action,have modified their regimens,immediately afterward,and :whohoo: 100% of the time to great success,as well.
Reading one's plants is a skill one can learn,over years,with patience.
Information is power,and never be afraid to stop and learn something new,even if it conflicts with what you think.
Exceptional grow,btw-it looks really fuckin' sweeeet!!
Cheers!
this is the man to be learning from. rez knows whats up.
thanks for the props, but the CD does stink from blocks away...
hahahahaha yup, bag within a bag within a bag within a bag within a bag within a bag and it still reeks !! can smell me before i get there...
