i asked you the other day if you used azamax because your leaves had such a shine... I actually figured it out, when i lowered my ec to 1.2 and they lighten up and got a sheen... It was my first real lesson on lowering the ec... even when they were growing great and looked good,, but 100 ppm less gives them a real nice sheen and color... lesson learned...

I also been watching the numbers you post for ec... And it happened by accident, and then i connected the dots, when adding the 2 things that were the same

Nursery Update!
Ok guys I'm gearing up for the solo challenge and decided to clear some space for the soon to be LSD-25 and the increased growth of the Think Different. I saved my DeadHead OG for now. Have not decided which one of the 3 cuts I'll save. Pure Afghan is being saved for now too. Looks lonely in here.
I'm planning to keep either this DHOG
Or the Top on the left. Original I thought top but the above cut looks pretty nice now. Either way it doesn't matter. That Pure Afghan lol AS SLOW AS EVER. Classic.
Now for some Root Shots! Hell ya! These are The deep purples and pure afghan that I culled to relieve space.
This is the Pure Afghan. She's spent almost 15 weeks in a solo. RIP your cut lives on girl. I had to pull really hard to get her out of the solo. It was hilarious.
Next up are the Deep Purples. Was never impressed with their lack of vigor so I just messed with them this whole time.
This one filled out well.
This one interestingly ran into some issues. This was also the deep purple I always complained about being finicky. Maybe me pulling her out of the solo cup on a regular basis to check her roots finally caught up with her. Last time I kinda smashed her back in the solo pretty hard because she was leaving an air space that I know would help dry it faster which I did not want lmao. She also seemed to drink more than the others so it's possible that she got too dry a few times. It is just a solo after all. Maybe she wanted 3x instead of 2x a day. That pure Afghan on the flipside was never a heavy drinker so she never got dry fortunately.
Last DP! This was an awesome and very fun experiment.

Wow! Just toss in boiling water and add the season packet! lol You haven't flowered any of those have you?

Hahaha my seasoning of choice is veb+bloom:cool: it's fairly salty. I have not flowered them. Kept a Pure Afghan cut around since it's a land race, but I tossed the Deep Purples. Never saw any veg characteristics I liked and I have a decent amount of seeds to try so no worries.
The only ultra rootbound girl I've flowered so far is that DeadHead OG. The root vigor on the pheno I have is true glory. I want to look at her roots in the hempy so bad man. Here's the progression.
From solo to #1 to coco hempy bucket!
Solo
#1
2ish gal coco hempy. Even for a hempy she drinks a lot.

Its funny Looking at your grow. We have the same saucers, pots and risers. Then I see your super healthy plants and I can tell it's not my grow :cry:

Bro I got the riser Idea from you! Never liked my plants sitting in runoff not allowing all the oxygen to be pulled in. Your plants are still doing really well. It's just faster for me to regulate things hydroponically. It takes more thought and planning ahead to do natural grows like you. For that I commend you. You'll dial it in soon enough! That finicky girl jack h x strawberry cough right? I love how stacked she's getting.

Nursery Update!
Alright I have MORE root shots because I finally gave 2 keepers the right to expand. Serving up some fresh Ramen Roots ready whenever ordered!:party1: Gee what do you expect at this point hahaha.
First up is the Pure Afghan Mamma. She really wanted to get out.
Next up is the DeadHead OG Mamma
And here is a Fam shot of them in their new #1 pots:love2:

Literally trying to grow legs and walk away haha! I'm in coco so technically I'm hydro too. I'm still using bottled nutes, they're just organic. I did start some clones in organic soil so I can see what a soil grow feels like though. I will say I'm pretty happy with my first run so far. I didn't know what to expect but I'm giving it my best shot and I'm lucky to have a bunch of good guys on here helping me out. I appreciate your help bro. The finicky gal is Spliffs Strawberry. Its strawberry cough x Jack Herer x Skunk. If I'm being completely honest I don't think she's that finicky, I think I'm just a new grower and need to get a little better at growing. I'm really liking the way she is shaping up. I'll have to put up a pic of the clone to show you how many preflowers she throws in veg. I thought she was an auto at first haha

ooooh for some reason I thought you were in some kind of coco mix that had a bunch of other stuff in it not just straight coco. In other words a soilless mix with it's own microbiology and such. Damn it how did not know this hahahaha
Look forward to seeing that clone! I want to see you dial that girl in she looks so badass.

You're right, I am in a soilless mix. Its coco, sphagnum, and ewc. So that wouldn't be considered hydro then?
justiceman

Ah I see where the misunderstanding came in hahaha. No worries brotha. I don't consider you to be in hydro with a soilless mix. Hydroponics is using an inert medium that has absolutely no nutritional value to it. The medium is just their to hold the roots. You supply all the nutrition and pH control yourself. Examples of inert hydroponic mediums that can be used by themselves or together would be Coco, Hydroton, Rockwool, Perlite, and Water.
Essentially soilless mixes are attempts at making soil without using topsoil and other conventional compost. Usually they are aerated with perlite. They are kind of a jack of all trades and very popular in hydro stores as you can go organic or use hydroponic nutrients with success. While coco is a component of your medium the addition of sphagnum peat moss, and ewc, and probably some other things make it way different from pure coco in terms of how you treat it.
For instance I would never use NFTG in pure coco. It just would not work well for me. pH would be all over the place because coco has very little pH buffering ability compared to soil and soilless mixes and that pH buffering is absolutely required for organics to work. Pure 100% coco works best with clean hydroponic nutrients period. However in your mix NFTG works just fine and rightly so.

No prob brotha! We're all in this together.

Alright tomorrow is week 5 but I wanted to throw down a trichome shot of the Chocolate Hashberry and DeadHead OG. The CH is so stinky now. It's almost too intense! Just getting this intoxicating acrid berry smell. Completely drowns out the lemony deadhead OG hahaha.

Thanks man! You betcha. I gotta keep you guys posted and I like to take pictures when a new week of flower begins. That way I can also build my chronology thread up. It's missing runs that I was too lazy to take weekly shots of.:cry:
