Not really. different ph range and a hydro specific base nutrient. but everything else is the same.

Bro those look fabulous as usual, got a question, i have some nutes that have been sitting for a couple of years all kinds, think would be still any good? Also white shark microhizae...

It might be. No harm in trying it. You will know if it doesnt then you can just change. Ive used nutes that was years old and it worked fine but that might not be the case for every nute. just give it a real real good shake up. if its crystalised its probs no good.

My nutes last me forever, I'm still using the same bottles from last year and they're working fine. These are organic so I'd expect them to deteriorate much quicker than a chemical version

Fresh is most likely better but for sure id be trying them before spending money. I think enzymes and beneficials it may be different but for macronutrients im sure they be fine. only one way to find out

Are they organic or synthetic nutes?
If organic, I'd be VERY careful about using them in a hydro system and definitely keep an eye out for bacteria growth when you first try them.
Synthetic nutes should be no problem.

Its day 19 of flower today so i have started pruning the plants. clearing off all the sucker branches and lower fan leaves. this increases airflow around the plants and gives heavier flowers. the led plants look to be a week ahead of the hps plants. i only pruned 5 plants today because i wasnt feeling well. i will get the rest done tomorro and get some more pictures up then.

Cultivator you know i had ordered some ams seeds back in your ams days and still had a couple so i popped one and was hoping it doesnt come up haha the smoke on the last one was very average just a sweet hint to it but now that the seed came out i will let her go she popped first haha reminds me of you and what i learned from watching you do your magic, you artist you.since your journal and all the research i was doing my grows come out nice fruitful and everyone of my buddies even after just coming back from amsterdam says my smoke is the best they ever had so far.

Thanks for the help.

Glad I could help I no longer grow AMS, i got a few bad batches of seeds so switched to other things. It was great but I have had trouble with Greenhouse seeds several times so I avoid them now unfortunately.
But lots more strains out there

If they all join together they are gonna be seriously long colas haha
Do ya reckon ya would need to veg slightly longer with the led compared to hps if they don't tend to stretch as much

no mate. you can see the bud formation on these plants. they have way more bud sites than the hps light but are 1/3 less in height. these werent big plants when they were flipped.

I have just finished pruning up the plants. day 20 of 12/12. They wont have any more foliage removed until the final week of flower when i strip all of the large leaves off.
You can clearly see the difference between the hps and led plants. the led plants look a week ahead of where the hps are.
I wasnt as brutal with the LEDs plants with defol as i usually am, this is due to the sheer number of bud sites. I remove clear bottom 1/3 of the plant and that increases airflow and bud density. Looking forward to some monster colas'
Feed is now:
Calmag+ 1ml/l
Ionic Coco Bloom 2.4ec (Tap water 0.7ec/350ppm, calmag boosts to 1.0ec/500ppm, total Ionic Bloom 1.4ec/700ppm)
Buddhas Tree P/K 0.15ml/l
Supervit 1drop/4litres (only for 1 feed after defoliation)
Sensizym 2ml/l
PH 6.0
Plants are super healthy but there is some bleaching on the tops of the tallest LED plants. there isnt much i can do about this as lights are at maximum height and highest tops are only a few inches from the panel. I have no room to bend and im not a real fan of super cropping anyway. Next round the plants will be lower and bushier. Also a different strain that wont stretch as much.

These LEDs are the business. Best ive seen by a considerable amount. But they cost ££££. Im sold on LED now though.
Fucken hell! Those plants are the business. Forget donkey dicks. Those are going to be some elephant schlong colas.

lol i do try
i dont too because its not necessary. i just bend plants. it takes to long to top and wait for new growth, compared to just bending that is. I get great results and fast turn arounds using this technique.

What a long day, 8 hours in hospital for biliary colic pain 
Only to be told they think its muscular (language barrier in spain im thinking) and sent away.... Nightmare
Anyway I'm going to collect some La Nina clones today to start the next round of flowering. I will do 16 bigger plants this time. Im kind of pissed i only have half the space full now, its a waste. Of course I was hoping for less males in this bunch but never mind. Its day 23 of flower today and providing i take these plants to 63 days that gives me aaround 40-45 days of veg for the new clones which is more than sufficient to get the plants nice and bushy.
After deliberation I am going to stick with coco because I think the high salt content of my water will cause more issues in rockwool. But I am going to mix it with perlite and make a drip fed system to make my life a little easier. I have to travel around alot in the coming weeks and months so I need to leave this space real low maintenance for when im gone. Also by adding the perlite and the drip system i will be able to feed 2 or 3 times per day and have even more o2 in rootzone which should speed up growth even more.
Its seems my issues with my electricity are resolved so i should be able to comfortably run 4 panels now providing i can get them hung. I worry they will pull the tent down as the tent isnt really designed to have almost 100kg suspended from it when you include the carbon filter. I will have a play around with it.
Anyway here are some old pictures from some previous grows just for entertainment.
