I've got so much to smoke I haven't really had a good try of this yet. I need one as the first spliff of the day so I can feel the effects better..... Will be back to update The 1st plant weighed in at 85g The 2nd plant was 44g 0

Daaaamn dude I like the look on that strawberry nuggets man and real interesting look on the one girl! But you got some naaaasty buds nonetheless and hope you enjoy the fruits of your labor to its fullest potential 😎🔥 keen to see what you do next 👌🏻

@@hydrohippy, A sneaky little one always soothes the soul man😌👌🏻 And that’s insane how you get your bud to cure for 10 days, with my previous harvest after 4 days it went completely crispy then chucked it into jars for curing. Going to try your method and cut only sun leaves and other non sugar leaves to try get more from the terpines and going leave all the branches fully intact :)

hydrohippycommented6 years ago
@EuphoricDiaries, cheers bud the smell on them nuggets is absoulte 🔥🔥. I've had a sneaky spliff and it's like berry blast of flavour in your mouth. I like to hang my bud for ten✋ days with all the sugar leaf on, then trim ✂️it off followed by curing it for a while. So the smell and flavour is guna be intense by then The fantasmo is nice too....I haven't really tried the blue toof yet but the smell on that is proper nice... Check out my other diaries to 👀 what's coming next 👏👏

Can u use ebb and flow style with the rockwool cubes and the mat without my 4×4 tray being on a slant? And what is that u use to cover the tray curex?? I looked through this grow in the beginning I can see why u would be a bit worried with the autos. I ordered 5 gsce autos and 5 bergmans goldleaf autos and im with u on the carrying the soil and plants around and all that extra stuff lol im a construction worker and I want this to be more enjoying then work. Im a close follower of your grows 😊 I guess u could call it stalking if u want😜
hydrohippy
hydrohippycommented6 years ago
@Homegrown420, yes you could use the Matt and Rockwool. Long as you cover the roots. It's called correx you can get it from a builders merchant, it's used to cover and protect flooring kitchen worktops and windows. Your only problem will be the roots growing over the drain holes and blocking the draining off. Also you dont want to submerge the blocks to much. If you are using the 6x6" cubes you should be ok but if you're using a 4x4" block you might drown it to much

Real interesting look to that bud, excited to see how it cures. Congrats on harvest, man!

hydrohippycommented6 years ago
@LazLow, cheers bud. That was definitely a weird lookimg plant. I think I've over cooked it slightly as i was waiting for strawberry nugs and blue toof to finish as well. I did crack the fantasmo 2 weeks ish before the nug & blue toof beans turned up

I'm going to research this (nft), you have a great setup that seems to be blowing up! I love it.
hydrohippy
hydrohippycommented6 years ago
@BeefWellingtons, I have been using this set up for about 18 years. I have never done a soil set up. I cant grow in soil for lov nor money. The heaviest thing I've lifted with this set up in 18 years is a 4"rockwool block lol. I don't have to carry soil in and out . I only have to dispose of a a root matt and a few little rockwool blocks . The only thing with this set up is don't over feed and make sure you have tons of roots pouring out the blocks. Look up nutriculture nft set ups. you can get sizes from 2ft up to 10ft double channel...you can go massive set up if really want . Need any advice just ask :-)

@@hydrohippy, I think one of the most important things here to remember is your grow technique. I don't know much about it, and though it might be oldschool, it's pretty cool to see you pull it off!

Bout £150 worth there on ph pen and ec meter. They worth it?
hydrohippy
hydrohippycommented6 years ago
@SlimJamie, the truncheon is self calibrating and the ph pen I calibrate probably once a fortnight with a solution from my local grow shop. I've had these a few years now, many moons ago I bought cheap ph pens and found them shite so used drops for years after and let technology get better with these things then took the plunge and splashed out on something decent, also buying the truncheon at the same time. I knew how to use it tho from previous grows with mates. As the saying goes 'if you buy cheap you buy twice'
SlimJamie
SlimJamiecommented6 years ago
@@hydrohippy, never understood why there so expensive compared to others? Do you still use storage solution with these? I tend to re calibrate mine every grow but I'm only using £10 ones

hydrohippy
hydrohippycommentedweek 116 years ago
The sugar leaf slows the drying as well. If the buds aint dense it can dry out quicker but i try and dry it slow as i can without it going mouldy. I break the plant down into branches then hang in dark place with air movement obviously

strawberry nuggets are only 3days in as my skywalker autos didn't germinate. fantasmo are 13 days in and im not happy with size compared to my tangilope in my other diary. tangilope and fantasmo were germinated at the same time
