I have no clue what "CF" is, but "EC" is electrical conductivity, a more reliable measure than PPM meters because they rely on estimates based on conversion factors.
Seems like your PPM tester uses a .5 conversion (vs. a .7 conversion), and you're running your nutes pretty damn hot for how small those plants look to be in the pics.
If you're not noticing any burning or lockouts than more power to you, but I'd be hesitant to run 1-1.5 foot tall plants at almost 2000PPMs - that's more a number you'd think of for trees in mid flower when they're really eating.
Anyways, keep tabs on your PPMs - if they go up, your nutes are too strong and the plants are drinking more water than nutes.
If they go down, you could (theoretically) up the nutes, but I certainly would't recommend it.
If they stay around where they're at, you've found the sweet spot.
But honestly, less is more when it comes to nutes (IMO) - I rarely if ever go much above 1000PPMs, even in mid flowering.
Lol............nothing weird about that, homey - the nute companies (save for H&G) as a rule don't publish "weak" grow charts - they're in business to make money, so they want people to use as much of their product as possible (although it just leads to people burning the fuck outta their plants, go figure).
98% of nute company feed charts are WAY too strong - that's where the PPM meter helps your ass out.
OKAY......
today iv decided to germinate some awesome genetics supplied by nirvana
*Bubblelicious
*Wonder Woman
*Aurora Indica
*Chrystal
*White Rhino
*Blue Mystic
*Ice
this lot is going to be future mothers
and will be grown outdoors
"it being the beginning of summer"
ill take clones from these to be flowered indoors
that way mid winter , i should have soo much weed on me ill be swimming in bud:love0018:
please , if you've had any experience with these strains
feel free to leave a write up
hey thanks for the infoI have a bit of experience with nirvanas strains. I grew with them on and off between 99 and 2006.
I will put my reports on a few others too in case you do grow some of these-
White Rhino-
I rate this as there best i have tried. long lasting stone, potent enjoyable high, not as crystally as i expected.
bubblegum had more reson but not as potent.
use low EC readings. half strength or less nutes should be sweet. attracted bugs like white flies. I have grown several breeders white rhino and they all seem the same.
top 5 for me. i recomend flowering for 10 weeks
3x stretch seems homegenous.(not much variation)clones well
Bubblegum
i think it was 2002 or 2001 i was grwoing this. Pretty plants with a nice structure and fairly large buds.
very resinous and crystally. couchlock. short lasting high.
around 30min-1 hour high. for taht reason i wouldnt grow bubblegum ever again. seemed healthy and no probs, less than the others apart from potency.clones well.
Blue mystic
found a few keepers, kept them going for a while.
1 was huge yeilding and took around 9 weeks maybe longer. wasnt that potent. another was smaller yeilding and pretty, seemed like a true blueberry should be.
nice high pretty crystals and bud structure. not easy to grow and shows problems with anything before other plants do. Would not grow again. perhaps true blueberry from dj short.
Northern lights x big bud.
Huge long buds on some that i remember. the smoke wasnt that special and i was getting equal yeilds from white rhino with better smoke so didnt keep NLxBB going.
skunk 1
Small tight buds, dont remember much about this strain but i didnt rate it highly.Some love it. I might not have given it enough of a chance. or enough room or care in the room.didnt seem potent.
K2
much variation.some short and squat some tall and lanky.
i liek the squat ones the most. yeilds well for being so short. good for directly under the light if you know what i mean with taller plants around the sides. smoke was ok. better than bubblegum.
ak48
much variation. a few similar phenos. a few very different. i had one pheno that i suspect was ak48 but not 100% as labels came off in seedling stage.
extremley hashy and everyone loved it. most hashy plant i have seen and stunk in veg had resin in week 1 of flower. didnt clone at all, im dissapointed in that.
low yeilder but top grade medicine. it may have been one of my own crosses.not sure. the others cloned ok and were good smoke but far from hashy.
this and WR are my fave so far from nirvana.
I think thats it.
Would like to try crystal and Ice. ive heared good reports on those.
Fantastic Job!!!
What a great first grow bro! I am amazed you chose to do this for the first one ever but hats off to you.
This is what these forums are all about. Sharing the knowledge so others can be successful!
can't wait to see how they turn out.

how's it going man
hey thanks for the props
this is my first hydroponic grow
i've had a couple soil & coco grows under my belt
but nothing like this
very interesting i must say
how's it goingWas your choice of this system based on your room, or that you really wanted to try this setup? Maybe both?
I must say that these do maximize space well and vertical grows can reap more based on configuration.
Did you wan't a more technical aspect to growing with hydro over soil? Part of the reason I love growing is the fact that it swallows all my loves. Mechanical, structural, electrical, chemical engineering, mixed with the actual growing and organic chemistry side.
I was a huge Lego kid when I was little, so I have always searched for something that fulfills my need to build.

added another 400watter today
just for more coverage
the buds are getting fatter by the day
im starting to think the gods are with me for this 1 , amazing
im mixing bat manure , potash , and dutch master advance A&B to the reservoir @ 900ppm & 6.2ph
and also potash & hormone growth to the air condenser
to be humidified to the atmosphere
I love vert!
Gpw heaven! :)
Nice, Nice, and Very Nice!
I have never heard of adding things like that to the atmosphere. Nitrates are in the air outside and collect with the rain during a downpour so it makes sense. Do you have any results on this method yet? very interesting stuff bro Keep up the great work!
