Better believe I got my notebook out I still havent hit over .5gpw, I gotta lot of learning to do.Awesome info as always meeks - i am going to have an entire notebook full of meeks info soon-
Patanjali , he (meeks ) has switched up threads for 2013 search it up bro, its like meeks dapper 2013 grow log but he is switching over to that one for this year , with his current grow on it , and your correct ton's of good info from meeks and he does not mind questions at all , as you can tell with all the questions i peppered him with.... peace soserWell, After about 2-3 hours of reading I finally made it through the whole log, and all I can say is WOW! Super great pictures, information, attitude. Huge thumbs up! Being a long time amateur grower it is really great to see more scientific information.
I do have one quick question if you have time. I read earlier in your post:
"I wouldn't recommend using ffof with coco either. I would stay away from starting with coco and then transplanting into a soil based media."
Is this because of he trichoderma? Or is there another reason?
Super amazing A+ journal! I'll definitely be lurking in this thread!
;)
Thanks Soser! I'll be sure to check that one out and maybe re-ask my question there. Also, thank you for all the great questions that spurred equally great answers!Patanjali , he (meeks ) has switched up threads for 2013 search it up bro, its like meeks dapper 2013 grow log but he is switching over to that one for this year , with his current grow on it , and your correct ton's of good info from meeks and he does not mind questions at all , as you can tell with all the questions i peppered him with.... peace soser
no problem , can't learn if you don't ask , be well ..... respect SoSerThanks Soser! I'll be sure to check that one out and maybe re-ask my question there. Also, thank you for all the great questions that spurred equally great answers!
Hahaha, yeah, I figured you had gone through the whole thing when I got over 90 notifications over the course of last night and this morning :eek:Well, After about 2-3 hours of reading I finally made it through the whole log, and all I can say is WOW!

Hehe... sorry Meeks! I can't help but hit the like button when I see a great post. Hell, I just like it when you take the time to sit and answer everyones posts with your already crazy busy schedule! A true asset to the site!Hahaha, yeah, I figured you had gone through the whole thing when I got over 90 notifications over the course of last night and this morning :eek:
Thanks so much for taking the time to read/look through everything I have posted! There really is a ton of information in here, and the users like you who take advantage of it will be a step ahead!
The reason behind not switching from hydroponic medias like Oasis, Rockwool, or Coco is because the ideal pH to provide ideal nutrient availability (different nutrients are more or less available at different pH) is different for hydroponic medias compared to soils. Soils I think are ideal around 6.5-7 pH and hydro medias are ideal around 5.5-6 pH (some say 5.8-6.2). If you have a little rockwool cube for rooting clones, and you plant that into a soil pot, there probably wont be any major problems. . . since the rockwool makes up such a small portion of the volume for root mass. But if you planted a 2 gallon coco grown plant into a 5 gallon pot of a soil based media like FFOF, then you are gambling between having the best of both worlds (nutrients available at both pH ranges because you have both medias) and having the worst of both worlds (very difficult to find an ideal pH for feeding when half your media is ideal at 6.5 pH and half your media would provide more nutrients at 5.5 pH)
Common sense might tell you to feed at a pH of roughly 6, right in the middle, but that isn't how the media chemistry works, and you will just make the nutrients less available in both medias. Make your life simpler, pick one media type (hydro or soil), not both.
I hope that answer clears things up for you, thanks again for checking out the whole thread!

That's a great question for my buddy Joe, I will ask him when I see him next for you!Hehe... sorry Meeks! I can't help but hit the like button when I see a great post.

Ok, I think I misread your post. I have found out the hard way not to mix medias (imho). I was rooting into rockwool and then xplanting into soil = no bueno for me. I have been using a blend of promix, FFOF, coco coir, ewc, supersoil, etc. I was wondering if you were referring to the fungi, as I have always been curious about having Mycorrhiza and Trichaderma in the same environment?
I think I need a break before I tackle your current journal! ;)
Truly a stand up , considerate person meeks.... props ...That's a great question for my buddy Joe, I will ask him when I see him next for you!
I am very grateful for all the people that take the time to post in my logs (keeps me feeling good about posting) so it is the least I can do by responding when I have time! Feel free to like every post I ever made if it makes you happy, I don't mind it at all :D

Thanks Soser, I try my best!Truly a stand up , considerate person meeks.... props ...
Yeah, his WiFi Alien is certainly better looking while it grows than his original WiFi in my opinion, we will see how it smokes! The yield of the Fire leaner is massive, so that's a plus also! Thanks for the support throughout 619ster!Damn!!!!:eek:
I really need some Wifi Alien in my life. And here I was thinking that Wifi was Raskal's greatest creation yet. Who knew he would actually outdo himself lol. Great job Meeks!! That's some serious frost on all them ladies!
Thanks Ken, I wish there was an easy way for me to filter out and post all the good info outside of the thread, but the information is prompted by good questions and relates to the grow pretty well usually, so I think it works best as a part of this log. Maybe one day if I have the time.Nice nice Meeksey, them hunnies is gettin close. We should be pointin newbs over hee for info, there some really go info about pluckin fans all newbs should read on that last page bro. I always see folks pullin way too many leaves off in flower, hell i even take some, bu takin too many aint good for the girls. Tht white fire Alien is supposed be as good if not better than the wifi, just in reg seeds!! snatch tme packs up while they are aorund
Hahaha, :D I can't help it when my trim is frostier than most of the medication I see people smoking! Thanks for the kind words Genepool!holly cow u must be grining from ear to ear, u r making them look proper nMeeks !
Some dank concentrates in my future for sure! I think part of it will go to BHO, but I am running low on hash (made a bunch of bubble hash from my White grows last year) so I might make some Alien bubble if I can get my hands on a set of bags in time! Trimming was a breeze, can't wait to have the second half cleared out next weekend so I can get the White Skunks under the big lights! Thanks for stopping by JB!Damyum Meeks you are gonna have some dank ass BHO! Great job once again, and best of luck with trimming them beauties.
