Now that's podracing! 

Nice colour on the bud. How much more flower time you gonna push for? 

Thanks man! 🙂

I'm doing my best to monitor the trichomes on the buds themselves. So far there are very few ambers about, but definitely mostly milky/clear. I think yesterday's feed will be the last, plain water for another week, let it dry a bit n then give her the old chop!

Older pics (24Feb), taken before I lost the top of one main cola to early stage bud rot, because I didn't provide enough canopy airflow (forgot to plug in the side fans). Stupid.. stupid mistake. Not the end of the world, but definitely not as cool looking for pics anymore. Monitoring closely.

That Chernobyl is something else. Original cut was sourced by @GGGhe has been quiet on 420sa but one of the OG’s. He flowered this cut for 14 weeks. Some of the best smoke I have had.

Woah, super cool! I'll do my best! One is definitely a little more vigorous.

Chernobyl clones switched to flower. Transplanted 2x Atlas - Papa Smurf, and 2x Renegade - Tooth Fairy clones. 4 males in a row out of the fem search so far, darn.

Damn, that cheese x pbb probably gona be crazy! Where did you get it, if I may ask? 

Heyy, I was given a whole bunch of reg seeds from a mate in a WhatsApp group. The Nutcracker is also his creation. They've made it through a cold winter, so seems like a good pheno so far (I've taken clones), let's see how it goes.

Wow wow wow. You are a a machine man! So much to learn from this post.

So interesting that you do a combination of organic and salts. I thought you had to choose, either or. Can I ask, how do you avoid salt buildup in the soil? My understanding is that with salt based nutrients like GHE, to prevent the soil EC from getting too high, you need to water to runoff, to flush any salt buildup. Do you do that? Do you just take the plants out of the tent to do so? Because there's no setup to handle any runoff or anything.

Super curious what your nutrient and watering technique is! Thanks so much in advance and can't wait to see your future grows!

Awesome brother I'm very excited to see that cheesexpbb! 🤠 Do you know the parents of the Nutcracker? 

Plants looking great!

Thank you sir, I don't always improve from grow to grow, but I feel like I got the spacing a bit better this time. I have to be more aggressive with defol before flip, but I always find it difficult.

You're way too kind man. I don't usually shine a light on the negative points/things that happen, but I appreciate your comments. 🙂

Yep, I'm quite interested in hybrid methods. Most everything I do is borrowed from somewhere else, with the idea of starting with organic soil and myco for an easy start, and then gradually introducing salts around late veg making for a simplified process.

I don't go too hard on the salts, since where I grow I'm not able to control all the other environmental parameters to their optimum anyway. I actually have only recently started to follow the Coco-coir protocol of watering to excess and then removing that (with a big syringe). So in reality I've prob always been suffering from some degree of salt build up. 

So tbh my watering technique was dogS, I would let the roots soak up the excess in the tray. But I'd also occasionally feed straight water, so perhaps that helped to alleviate problems.

However I've bought FF Coco-coir (90-10 because of the air-pots)(and cheaper than green bag) and earth worm castings (borrowed from "Scotty" from that YouTube grow show, although he adds some other stuff as well) for a hybrid Coco substrate thing.

I'll also be making a bunch of CO2 bottles using sugar and yeast. Also switching to EHG nutes due to lower cost, and watering to excess at least once a day.

Hoping to progress to the next level and stop making the same mistakes over and over.

I decided to make the switch after watching Migro's Coco vs organic & non-CO2 vs CO2 comparison grows. (CO2 adds 30% growth rate at all par levels)

Since I pH test every time anyway, that was another reason to switch to Coco. (with dropper solution, really quick to do and could never get the hang of the cheap pen I bought with all the different calibration solutions etc.), I'll be aiming for 6.0ish. 

Hard at work bringing my own 100% original, shape-transforming light design to market, so still keeping the grow protocol simple yet upgrading is super helpful.
