re: Jon705's Multi Strain HPS LED Hybrid System
hi jon, plants look great mate well done,
i been watching all of subcools school of dank, in one episode he does say a few different base soil types he has used, not sure which ep as so many to watch, i just had them on continuous play and kept watching,
im going to try and pick some of the items up myself and mix a batch up at my moms, i dont have a garden and cant really have several big bins full of super soil sitting in my spare room, not sure it would go down well if anyone did find it, not that they would but would be hard to say i am a basic grower if i got all that stashed away,
so ill try and see what i can get, i can mix it all up at my moms, my dad got big cement mixer so can just fill that up and keep mixing it up and tipping it out until i am sure its all mixed, then let it brew for a while before use, its a bit tough to hear sub speak in them vids and light is pretty bad as well, but he does say he has used several base compost to use for super soil, so as long as you can find something similar then you should be ok, i cant get anything like he mentioned where i am as its just not sold in the UK, so i googled each make he suggested and wrote down the info off the product so i can take it round the garden centers to try and find something that would work,
but subs idea of growing with no nutes is pretty good, plants seem to flower amazingly and end up their true colour, using nutes is probably whats stopping me from getting the purple out of my purple plants, when you watch his vides he has some amazing looking purple bud that just grew like it with no cold temps, no nute stress, so clearly the problem is the nutes, ok nutes are what we need to make the plants grow at their best, but it does not bring out the plants true colours,
so ill be giving his mix a try for my next grow, ill pick up what i can and get some mixes going, not using nutes would offset the costs of the products needed for super soil, so will be interesting to see what i can get and how it works,
now the autos grown under 12-12, ive got my plants on veg schedule now, running 19-7, my regular plants are doing brilliant under this schedule, how ever my autos are slow growing, the auto purple cheese is in full flower and not gaining anymore height, ill be lucky to get 14g from it, what a joke, the kc45 autos are under same schedule and growing slow, last time under 12-12 it grew like crazy and got me some huge buds, so their must be something with this 12-12 for autos,
im thinking maybe 20-4 or 24-0 makes the autos reach flowering age a lot sooner,
12-12 means their getting juts 12 hours of light over 24 so that means it needs 48 hours under 12-12 to get 24 hours of total light, when the lights are off these plants stretch to find the light again, making the plant taller and branches longer, this would mean more nodes would need growing to produce the leaf the plant needs to grow, so after this grow ill be going back to 12-12 form my autos then ill know for sure if 12-12 is what works best,
Inspiring Jon
I feel like im starting all over again as a newb lol
