Re: Quest for 1g/w: 1k hps liquid cooled on a 6' mover in a 4x8 tent.
Think I had a similar issue arise my side I just harvested. This does make sense. The only thing I can think of (for my setup) is more frequent res changes and not using any pH down to start with. When I do it this way it drifts up into mid sixes then comes down. The rate of this is all depending on size of the plants, temps, transpiration etc. I think Now that I've gone longer veg time, denser root systems larger plants in general a 10 day res swap needs to come back to 7 days and I need to make sure to keep topped off with fresh RO water or ppm could go to high. (Also helps cool it off a bit)
Good growing
thanks broski, i am on a 7 day res change now too. Unfortunately i think i have some root issues, although i haven't looked at them so i'm not sure what they look like, but i think i have some bad bacteria in there. . . my hydro guy tells me if you use beneficials and aren't immaculate clean then can turn to bad guys. i haven't tried to fact check that yet, but I am not immaculate. I like the idea of H2O2, but we'll see soon as I am going to run it in my res any time I am not running beneficials so that they cant turn on me if it's possible. next flush I am going to run 6 liters of 3% in 50 gal.
I am getting frustrated with myself and hydro. why can't I get healthy fan leaves past week 4 in flower? Maybe my root systems are too small to uptake fast enough to keep up and they cannibalize the fans for food? I'm applying the nutes wrong? It was happening in the wheel, it happens every time for me.
I wish someone wise could just say something simple to me that would instantly solve whatever it is I am doing wrong easy as pie, and i had all the right answers to all of my problems and my shit was green to the end. big fat fucking colas. stinky sticky icky gooey smelly skunky tasty fat donkey dick colas.
Do I have to grow for 10 years before I get good?
Not just you man. I'm still drying mine out, but I've been leaning towards your assessment for quite a bit. Shit just doesn't smell or taste like "normal" landrace bud.
Sf.
your plants were beautiful though. it must be said too that mine was not sensi, so that would hurt potency. maybe yours will be stronger without the seeds. but yeah, I think my exact words were "smells like someone puked all over a dead skunk" or something like that. lol.
I've read that a lot about LR2. I've also read that the original LR was the better choice for a breeding parent. But IDK personally.
With your limited gene-pool it might not be a bad idea to do a straight-up seed run in which you crossed things every way that you could. It'd make for a jumbled set of seeds but you might end up liking the ultimate results of those seeds more. Probably wouldn't enjoy the actual business of picking seeds out of each and every bud you smoke though lol. But long-term... Yeah.
yeah, I used a hybrid for my parent and did that with the other hybrids. unfortunately lw pollen count meant low seed count. I am not using any lowryder genes directly though. only hybrids of hybrids now.
Ahh, brings me back to the old mexi-brick weed days, more seeds than stash. just gives me a headache now. . . I would do the work for the seeds, but only if feminized and of good stock.
Bah, you just break the bud up on some cardboard, tilt it a few degrees, and the seeds run right off.
No, I don't miss those days, but people are so spoiled now.
sinsewhata? lol
been there, done that. I think on it nostalgically, but it was a PITA at the time. lol. I didn't know shit back then.
wow i just had a flash back of the old days. good old cardboard.lol
Lol. me too.
