This is a potent strain that was a pleasure growing. In hydro, it responded well with the food that it was given and had even more potential to flourish given that growth was stunted by the cold temperatures at night.
Strain effects are Indica dominant giving it a relaxed muscular benefit providing much needed relief to over worked sore areas of the body. A sativa blend hybrid, released a gentle disposition of thoughts. This heavy hitter left residual effects of forgetfulness for weeks to come.๐

I always have fun when growing with Fox Farm products. I had an interesting conversation with Fox Farm specialist over the phone on how to use their products and was extremely helpful!
Following the schedule made it an easy and fun experience.๐
In the beginning this made improvements in strength and vigor of plant. Then it came to a point were it didn't really make much of a difference once the algae slimed up the roots.
The potency really came out in the end product. Will stick with URB.๐
Reliable products. Will consider their root products for future grows.
I would like to see this work from the beginning as it was a helping factor towards the end of this grow.

Very pungent smell prior to cure. Stored in C-vault for curing. Not bad for minimum veg time from a clone. This grow taught me about problems with algae as it impacted harvest and what role cold temperatures play in the growth and development.
Green smoke, had a little bit of the energetic uplifting effect. Certainly an unlocking creativity effect, allowing for a continuous flow. Is wet and may have dampened the sweetness. Indica effect is strong and satisfying to an overworked body. Long lasting relaxation put me down for half the day and felt a residual effect of forgetfulness for a couple of weeks. Overall, highly recommended if you are going on a vacation or need time to heal as this strain will help your body get the rest that it needs to recover and overpowers anxiety. This has potential to help!0000

Is she ready for Beastie Bloomz or should I continue with Open Sesame for another week until flowers are more developed?๐

It isn't a matter if it's ready or not. That's a PK booster. Does your plant look like it's deficient on phosphorous or potassium? Besides your EC/PPM is quite high already, if you add this other fertilizer you will risk burning the plants.
Casebonestarted grow question 6 years ago
Using GH Waterfarm with air bubbler in res: plant consumed EC of 2.1 down to 1.4 overnight with Mother Earths Sugar Load. I have bio film on roots now and am flushing with Flawless Finish, Hygrozyme and URB Natural. How can I feed the microbes & protect roots & was EC drop good?

The Ec drop can't be a bad thing , it means your plant is using a lot of nutrients to achieve flowering and to produce buds so I would just adjusts it was time the plant is eating. About how to feed microbs : idk ๐

hey there casebone the drop in the EC is due to the flushing nutrients and that's normal and to be expected. Dont worry about it, what's the point of the flush except to reduce PPMs of the solution and the nutrients in the plant right? bad news is the microbes also go down and die so dont bother mixing them with the flawles finish. Hope i answered your question ! congrats on the great grow and harvest ! ๐

You got 850 g off of the 1 plant! That's some seriously crazy growing! Good luck on dotm.โ๏ธ

@Experimentgreen,
Thanks for pointing that out! I got 31 Grams off of the 1 plant. Nice dense and sticky nuggets. Yeah, that would be some crazy stuff to get 850 grams. It is a type o that I change every time I log on but it never shows the correct weight. Must have been a glitch in the software, it is changed to the correct weight now.๐

@Casebone, as long as there is no deficiency, there's no need for increasing the feeding strength

Casebonecommented6 years ago
@@@Athos, no deficiencies that I can see. It is not doing much compared to last week when it brought the EC down to 1.4 overnight. Next weeks will be a leaner solution and EC I can shoot for 1.6?

She is finally cut and will give it about one week to dry. Tomorrow will be day 5 of drying; the last time I checked up was day 3 and the stalk was shrinking as it dries.
When ready, they will go into a c-vault with a 62% humidity packet.

Quite a bit of what I believe to be algae. The leave and buds look fantastic for their small sizes. First thing was to change the res and replace with hose water with the addition of hydrogen peroxide at a rate of 3tsp/gal. Roots look like they are coated with a brown film over the roots. Once they are clean I will continue flush with Flawless Finish. Despite the buildup on the roots the plant is showing no signs of weakness.-Update: the dark film never disappeared!

The flush is started and better sooner than later. This solution was made with RO water: a few drops of Sledgehammer; URB Natural; Hygrozyme and Flawless Finish. This will be the final 4 to 10 days prior to harvest. It should time out just right with the trichome maturity. Strongly considering a final extended dark period for the final finish. All of the largest fan leaves were trimmed off. Now the focus is on the remaining dense foliage and the flowers.

My little nugs are getting plump. I could feel density in them a few weeks ago. Overall, I don't think that it will be a whole lot once she is dried out. Keep in mind that she is not done yet and there is still the flushing period with flawless finish. I think that I am ready to begin the flush tomorrow. Even though I want the best results that I can possibly get; I am still learning my grow technique as I am getting a feel for how to handle the flowering phase. I can totally tell that the Sugar Load gave the plant a nice nutrition boost as the EC dropped like over night. Not much water consumption yesterday, so I added Hygrozyme just to clean up the roots prior to the flush.

Opened up tent and the smell was so sweet! It was time to refill the DWC bucket so today I added Sugar Load High Brixx Molasses and a little bit of Sea green. Lots of foam and the EC jumped to 2.1 from 1.8. I do not think that I will change the solution because it is maintaining the EC very well. Will re-evaluate at end of grow week to see if the Sugar Load increases the consumption of nutrients.

Besides, come to find out that the grow schedule is for a 1000 watt system. I have a Cobb 600 watt and two 180 watt ufo's. The roots are not really massing up, still trying to feed the microbes. I think that it grows better with a higher water level but the root mass must be inside the hydro ton. LED's are like lasers, they beam straight and the Cobb LED seems to spread the light more evenly.

Essentially, the answer to my question may have been not to over feed as the EC is stable and to feed the microbe population giving URB a boost. I am going to try doing intermittent microbe feedings to bring out the potential of URB. URB as I know from previous soil grows really invigorates plant growth to an extreme .๐

Bembe and Microbe Brew contain Molasses. It may not have enough kick and may have to go with Blackstrap Molasses. Any ideas?
