Thoughts Of The Day

Yes, on question 1. Very important to paint your walls and create a reflective perimeter around the garden. Research it. Some refelctive surfaces create hot spots and would be a bad choice.

 

Harvesting clear and cloudy the high is mellow and long lasting. It can last for 6 hours. It draws the yeild way down.

 

But that's true medical grade marijuana. Pot that works for the user and is harvested by the tri-chrome rather than the bud.

 

Different tri-chrome levels render entirely different expderiences for the same plant. So, it's all about dialing it in. You'e got to grow the same plant more than once to push its potential.

 

I also experiment with dosing with fertilizers. I used to feed straight water mostly. Now I'm feeding every time.

 

It alters the taste, texture and flavor. Every little element creates a change. So it's important to grow the same strains more than once to get a feel for their potential. Especially from clone.

 

Next, I want to grow Purple OG Kush. I like everything about it. And, I'd like to dial it in. and play with it.

 

I used all kinds of techniques with my grows. I'm learning how to use them all and apply them to different breeds and varieties.

 

If you do something a different way, it affects yeild and taste and burnability. Of course there's that perfectly uniform commercial grade where the person is playing it safe. But I like to experiment as a hobby grower, even though I grow medical.

 

I'm not doing uniform production, I'm running every technique in the book. SOG, SCROG, LST, HST, supercropping, canopy design, daily rotation, rotating upon watering, automated watering, forever trying diferent techniques on different plants.

 

All 100% Organic. Even the hydro and bio-hydroponics is all 100% Organic. Even my pH adjusting solution is organic and food grade.

 

I did this one grow where I hand tied the entire canopy and desind it by eye. I bent the branches to fill in the light, and left it to grow, adjusting with new ties to acommodate and sometimes moving a stake, but basically leaving it there for the entire grow until harvest, and my yeilds skyrocketed with only 2 plants. I did a little rotation, but it was mostly concrete.

 

This weekend I did Hash Bash and built my buckets on Friday. 100% Organic, DWC. Deep Water Culture.

 

It's bubbling as we speak, and I need to add a drill hole and plug in one of my grommets, that's it, it's done. I even spray painted mine, using a Home Depot bucket. One broke and I need to repair it.

 

Maybe you fertilize every 48 hours, maybe you fert every 2 weeks. Maybe the doage is 1 tsp, maybe it's 3 tbsp.

 

I also grow in Coco. I've grown in custom soil. I've grown in premium cactus soil. I'm growing in worm castings now. I'm growing with worm casting, coco and perlite combinations.

 

I think you need to try it all. Clone in perlite/vermiculite, clone in rockwool and in Root Riots coco plugs. Be patient and try it all.

 

I guess these are the garden based reasons for why I'm a gardener

Flat white paint is best to use in the grow room. It will not create the hot spots like mylar and some of the other reflective materials out there. And its cheap getting the ceiling white paint at any of the hardware stores.

 

Try taking your cutting the night before cloning and put them in the frig over night. It seems to help me with getting a higher percentage of clones and quicker too.

 

Are you also doing trees with the DWC's? Are you going vertical with the lights?

 

I sure wish they didn't put a plant count on us, this could get real fun.
