Some cultivation comments: This strain can be difficult to grow because of the following: 1. It is tricky to clone. Takes three to five weeks to see roots. 2. It grows pretty tall. If you don't have enough head space, you'll have to bend them. 3. It takes ten to twelve weeks...

Glass for class. Bags for schwag.

I use Rapid Rooters in my aeroponics system. The small spray heads I get from Home Depot initially clog up with debris from the Rooters, but after I replace them once, they don't clog up again.That's because, at first, I water from above and some organic material washes down into the reservoir...

I use Advanced Nutrients, but I couldn't say for sure that they are the best, as I don't have hydroponic experience with other brands. I know for sure that they aren't the cheapest. I started with AN pretty much arbitrarily -- saw that AN seemed to have a large variety of products, and that they...

One more question: Do you prune at all? Ruckaruck

Thanks for the info and questions. Here are the answers: My system consists of three 42" long PVC 5" square fence posts, sealed at one end, the other with drain pipes to the Rubbermaid Roughneck reservoir, which probably holds 16-18 gallons of water full. I use 12 gallons. The two fence post...

Beautiful. A few questions: Looks like 20 plants per harvest. Do you have a final, dried weight for them? Is the idea to simply start clones under a 12/12 cycle? Lucas formula? Gorgeous result. My mouth waters. Peace, Ruckatruck

Is there a formula for determining the optimum size reservoir for the number of plants? As I purge my reservoir every week and put in fresh nutes, I wonder, "Am I trowing away good, unused nutrients? Could I use less water, and therefore smaller quantities of nutrients, and achieve the same...

I use Advanced Nutrients and haven't seen any sediment at all. Today I emptied the last of two liters of Sensi Bloom A and B into glass containers (without shaking first) and both were completely clear (other than color) and had no sediment on the bottom. I also have my spray heads easily...

I built a system similar to this one, but with fence posts, and smaller. I agree that you could make this a whole lot shorter. My fence posts sit directly on top of the reservoir, and I have tubing running to small spray heads between each plant location. Works like a charm. However, other...

Yeah, I think a lot of people harvest early because of impatience or greed (gotta get that extra crop). I'm growing Kali Mist because I like Sativas. I'll trade for some good Indica if I want a soporific or maybe just a change. This strain flowers for at least 10 weeks and grows quite tall, so...

Well, if you can afford it, I would highly recommend Advanced Nutrients. I'm on my second hydro grow, and I'm using the nutrients in their "Hobbyist" package, which includes Sensi Grow and Sensi Bloom (both 2-part), Voodoo Juice, B-52, Big Bud, and Overdrive. In addition, I will use AN's Final...

MBS, Yeah, shopping's always better after a little cerebral preparation. I actually ended up with about 8 ounces. I started with 10 plants (clones), but only about 7 of them got big enough to yield any good weight. I let the small ones live (out of kindness, I suppose) and I got a small...

I used AN for my first hydro grow; Sensi Grow A&B and Sensi Bloom A&B, and. although I screwed it up horribly and burnt my plants, the bud I ended up with is wonderful. I am now on my second hydro grow, and I decided to go with the "hobbyist" bundle advertised on AN's site, which includes the...

Yeah, that was my first hydro crop, and I did a whole lot of things wrong. I will be replacing the nutrients with fresh every week or two, and am certainly watching the nutes on my new crop closely. I'm going with Advanced Nutrients Sensi A and B as well as Voodoo Juice (expensive!!) and B-52...
