@Mrs_Larimar, Lol thanks a lot Larimar. I try to be humorous, a little entertaining and informative. I do love my plants 😁 . I think I told you one time in pm I get sad😥 when I chop them and I do lol. A part of me is like don't kill this thing, it's so pretty and nice. But putting stuff on the scales is like another fun part of the adventure lol. Not even gonna get into smoking the plants I grow, that'd be like another paragraph or two lol.

Mrs_Larimarcommentedweek 95 years ago

I do it like you do and asolutely agree. I only do " naked flush"( only with water) if i have excesses or a builtup.. that means maybe one or 2 times a year . So iam using water, kelp, molasses p+k , and humic acid the most Time. Your Girls look very good!!!. and i agree , very good canopy shape

To be honest, I really appreciate it when people are honest about their yields. It's a good way to keep hobby growers like ourselves hopeful and motivated to keep growing. When some people are like, "yep, I got a kilo dried from this one plant," it's enough to make the rest of us want to just throw it all away and give up. I've been looking at a lot of large yields on this site too, and I have to say that you can see that some of the people are obviously just bullshitting. So if any of you who are reading this like to falsify your dry weights, just so you know, we all know you are lying.

@MovingOn, Dude you just made up my mind and my day really thank you. I will post my yields for guys like you. I mean to me in hindsight it's kind of obvious what happened with the Back 2 they kind of got crowded out and the top buds didn't get that light intensity they need. I was having a bad day and I forget sometimes that their are still honest folks and for some it isn't just about ego. It's about learning. And you are right it's so obvious some times that yields are overinflated... I won't name names but some pretty savage examples Iv'e seen. And I was kind of like in that head space where I'm like shit if a lot of folks are dishonest then what's the point. You brought me out of the head space. Thanks dude your awesome and I'm glad we get a chance to "grow" together 😁👍

@Mrs_Larimar, I have no fenced yard so I am very wary of growing anything "special" outdoors I would throw a clone or two out. We have a lot of bears in the area and wild life. And we also have a lot of hippy stoners in the area and someone stealing my outdoor grow would probably "break" me lol. So I stick to inside safe but with out the awesome powers of the Sun. I think if I was gonna do a "room" it would get rather expensive I'd want it sealed up properly and with quality ventilation. Legalized growing is fantastic and I am lucky to live where I do. I'm sure if I smelled enough houses in my neck of the woods I'd be smell growing cannabis all over the place 😁 … So many things to consider when growing Cannabis and I'm glad having the police come and take my shit is no longer a possibility in my country. I can only hope that one day every country in the world will be Smart enough to make the right choice and Legalize.... Honestly I forget a lot of people don't have the luxuries and freedoms we do.

Mrs_Larimarcommented5 years ago

@@@Darkwarsongs,I absolutely agree with your thoughts of more light etc.... I am Looking desperate for a Growroom instead of boxes or tents,,,,,,But i said to myself wait until ist legal,,, 😌 Iam not sure if i can wait therefore. But outdoor ti,me Comes Closer and i am preapring my garden. And whishes for a new room fade

You are kind of funny 😀 You are doing hydroponics, topping and training and ask for the most simplistic approach. Quite some contradiction... Have a look at my first grow for the KISS approach. I'm lazy and unexperienced, so want to keep things as simple as possible. This means: 1. Grow in soil. But buy some good soil! No need to monitor pH or EC and reduced risk of overwatering. And it will provide the best aroma. 2. Use organic nutrients. Very low risk of overdosing. Simply follow the recommendations of the manufacturer. They have decades of experience and cannot be totally off. 3. Do not train. I'm still not convinced this will guarantee some bigger yield. Main argument for topping and LST is the even canopy. But many newbies are still failing on this one, break some stems and in the end the canopy is not that even anyway. By using multiple small lights instead of a single huge one you can compensate for an uneven canopy. So in the end you only need to get the watering right. I'm very happy with the results and see no reason to make it any more complicated. Unless you enjoy it of course 😉

@Buddha2, I really like growing in Hydro... I really like my results and don't mind the work. I don't see a point in growing in soil if I already have all the hydro stuff (It's expensive). When I grow plants in soil now, they are my "b grade" plants that I won't put as much attention or effort into and the results speak for themselves 😁. It's all relative as well, lots of dirt guys put in tons of work (testing ph and run off). I say I spend about 2-3 hours every week which is not to shabby at all in my mind. The hardest part of hydro is setting things up. My question was satire lol. I guess sarcasm is lost in translation.. Was a joke Question.

@Mrs_Larimar, Yes and I do love my Fur babies. I'm gonna try to get better filtration for the tents and open the tents less often ha ha ha. Very Frosty it's like Christmas but hard work paying off is so much better then free presents lol. My plant positions relative to the light made me learn a great deal more about how I should be setting up my tent. I wasn't a huge fan of the scrog because after I certain point I couldn't do anything. But another great learning grow lol.. There are all learning grows and next one will be even better. Thank you for reading and commenting always appreciated. 😁

Simplest way of growing would be to grow outdoors, you only need a big pot, good soil and water and a couple of seeds. Next step up, would be a simple indoor setup: just choose a light type and and exhaust. Everything else is optional, although many things are recommended: like a carbon filter. Keep in mind that good soil and a big enough pot will save you the trouble of using bottled nutes.

VanCplGrowscommentedweek 95 years ago

Garden is looking awesome! That canopy is a thing of pure envy! I agree with you about flushing Cannabis. I know a grower that flushes for 2 weeks before harvest and another "old-timer" who never flushes... And both of their buds taste amazing. I flush because, like you said, it makes me feel good and i tell myself that it's good, even though it's based on nothing more than wishful thinking. I do know that a fair number of commercial hydroponic growers of things like lettuce, mint and tomatoes do periodic flushes but my understanding is that it has more to do with flushing and cleaning the delivery system of dried nutrients/salt buildup, rather than for any reasons of taste or final quality of the produce. I'd be curious if anyone can find info on commercial food producers who flush for "increased quality". I can't wait to see your garden in full bloom... Especially that Blue Cookies 😍. Looks amazing! 👍

@VanCplGrows, Thank you very much. It's definitely shaping up to be an Impressive haul. I totally understand the need to "flush" the system of the nutrients in hydro systems and I do this weekly(tip for all you new folks). I like how you know two different growers doing different things with the same end results. With you as the end user being like both are good ha ha ha. I would love to hear from any Commercial food grower really, especially the ones that eat their own produce lol. I'm looking quite forward to seeing the garden in full bloom as well 😁
