Pure gas, with hints of earthy pine. I have always had a taste for the classics, this one definitely holds up. Higher THC content than most other OG Kush pheno's, and it really stands out. Would grow again!

Not.A.Fan. This is the primary reason for two of my plants dying. I'm sure the product does wonders for soil and brewing tea, but it is just plain old mislabeled for hydroponics. Florakleen baths, diluting my mix / diluting with luke-warm water / changing my mixing order...I tried EVERYthing to make it work, for a solid month. I sent them a message, and until we see a response / label change - 0 stars. I'm not the only one this has happened to unfortunately 😟
I don't have to use H2o2? Boost growth and keep root rot at bay? Sold https://fishheadfarms.com/the-science/
Yes! This product (and Ful-Power Humic Acid), are most likely what saved my first grow. Has a bit more going on than its competitors, and boasts a two year shelf life. Awesome!

Reviews. Tent
Great product, zippers are reliable, no light leaks. Transferred & finished in a 3x2 Vivosun Tent. They get 1 or 2 stars at best 😟 The poles bend easily, and the zippers will catch & run on you. Their other products seem fine though. Heat pad / Ventilation / Wireless Humidistat are all solid.

OG Kush (Feminised Photoperiod) ~Growers Choice Seeds~ https://www.growerschoiceseeds.com/shop/cannabis-seeds/og-kush-feminized-cannabis-seeds/?attribute_pa_number-of-seeds=3-feminized-seeds 45/55 Indica Sativa Hybrid - Hindu Kush / Chemdawg Flowering Time: 56 Days 27% THC ~.5% CBD ~~~~~~~~~~ OG Kush: 82.2g / Mystery Seed: 64.9g / Trim: 27.6g For my first grow, I really can't complain too much. The issues with recharge early on, as well as a broken PH pen - were definitely a bummer, but we salvaged two plants and even managed a QP between the two. For a first go - WITH issues, I think things went as well as can be expected. ~~~~~~~~~~ Should have extended my Veg a week - I was impatient and itching to get on with the next project. Not quite at 1watt/gl with my air pumps, I will upgrade soon - would have helped with the recharge situation / chelation This week marked the first couple days of bipolar summer weather in MO. A 7-14 day dry turned into 6 so I used Boveda packets at the start of cure, just in case we dried too fast* Trimbag is fantastic. I had planned on not using it the first harvest....I got about an ounce in and caved. Worth every penny! (I do not mind the small bit of extra shake, I'll turn into edibles or rub through the ol trimbin for some kief / hash / rosin / shatter) Loss to bag appeal is nearly non-existent, unless the strain your working with has some extra long hairs like this OG Kush did. Those will get cut in half - 100% worth it. ~~~~~~~~~~ My first QWISO attempt yielded 3.1 grams. (and that's after rubbing roughly 8 grams of kief hash from the trimbin) Since it was only two plants, I also froze the satellite branches, and snipped them down to a useable size for extraction. I definitely could have strained the solution another time, some specs of plant matter snuck past me, but regardless - it didn't come out too dark, and has a nice, classic ISO shatter taste 🔥 Avoid brown coffee filters if you can, they are terribly inefficient. Use a strain cloth, or micron bag instead! My second attempt using 3.5g of the OG Kush went very well, yielding exactly 1g ~~For anyone who happens across this diary and decides to give QWISO a try - PLEASE - *Be cautious! *Do your Research!~~ I use a quality cast iron skillet and Pyrex glass pan, that I intend to ONLY use for this. Cooking with the same skillet can cause serious smoke issues. DON'T grease the pan like you would for cooking storage* If you DO reuse your pan, clean thoroughly and expect to see some smoke. DO NOT use this method! with a gas stove*** The fumes put off by concentrated solvents are VERY flammable! Instead, throw your pyrex in a crockpot, rice-cooker, or commercial style food warmer - filled with water. ~~~~~~~~~~ https://bit.ly/3MplXqf ^^^GrowAce Affiliate Link^^^ Use this if you want to show some support!

These two are recovering from a Broken PH Pen, and stunted by too much recharge(mislabeled for hydro). We've fixed the issues and are back on track, we've finally started to see some stretch again! My question is - should I defoliate more, to encourage branching? Or just wait?

Hi, personally I would wait and get her completely happy again, not long, couple of days, just let her recover from one thing before starting another stress, you dont want to be giving her too much to do at once! Hope this helps, happy growing 👍

Nute swap is in two days - the mystery seed is ready to flush I think. But I'm not sure about this OG Kush. Normally I would Ripen next - but should I go ahead and flush along with the mystery seed instead? Thoughts? Thanks

you dont need to flush anymore than (18 to) 24 hours in hydro, that's one of the main advantages actually : high precision on the timing before the chop, so you can really dial it in perfect. Do both individually or if you cant do one then let the other go and do it again before the chop, you wont notice a hitch i'm sure. Hope this helps ! 🚀

This is my first grow! DWC seemed like the way to go, as a way to maximize my harvest with what is allowed under my state's regulations. I did my best to keep things as straight forward and simplistic as possible, while sacrificing zero quality in the process!

Good luck with your grow mate! I'm on my first grow and going to be a DWC like yours. I'm getting a little anxious haha. It looks like it can be much harder work. You're doing a great job though man. I've dropped you a follow. I'm looking forward to seeing how you get on. Also how are you keeping your water at 22°c consistently? I'm worrying about that with mine. Surely if my tent is 25°C my water will end up that temp right?

@TickleToast, ah that's definitely justifiable! I can find change for that 😂. Awesome advice bro! Next thing is beating the fear of putting her in the DWC set up. Theres more that can go wrong in that 😂. I feel shes safer from the potential harm I can cause at the moment 😂

@BlueDreamer1, And yes the water bottles are fine, Just keep an eye out for when they crack, dont want your roots getting caught in them and getting torn up (worse case leakage and a PH change-lockout). 1-2$ a pop at walmart for the cold packs*.

@BlueDreamer1, You can get all that at Walmart for about 75 friend :) I like the Honeywell Mistmate, its cheap, and the light is easily covered. On high it needs refill once a day(60% humidity, med every other-ish for 45-55% in a 8x4). Not bad for DIY on a budget.

@tickletoast Are you mixing your nutrients straight into the reservoir or are you diluting them and adding them separately. I had an issue with my reservoir when mixing nutrients I got a chemical reaction and ended up with a build up of gunk. I now mix my nutrients separately in 3 gal buckets and ph each bucket before adding them to my reservoir I've not had the same problem since hope this helps bud

@Smokey89, Really just came down to Recharge mislabeling their product for hydro...its a soil product.../shrug. The only ones I can find using it in hydro with any success have 30gl RDWC systems and use ONE test packet per run. Directions say .5 tbsp per/gl
TickleToast
TickleToast
@Smokey89, Super curious what it was that was reacting to cause such a build up! I mix directly into my buckets - in the correct order, giving each 2 minutes-ish to sit (your supposed to do 5 I believe?). These chemicals actually take quite a bit longer to fully mix into a complete solution, than most people realize(it really doesn't matter once you throw the air stone in - it will finish on its own - keep to the order you'll avoid jellies etc). Diluting is a way to shave off some of that time and avoid a bad mix yes - but with what I was using it would not have helped. Recharge would have collected at the roots regardless - just a matter of time, minutes-hours at that. Now that I'm using Photo plus, its a non-issue :)

Hey m8! Ah I love good og kush Im partially addicted to the taste 😛 For your roots (you probably figured this out already) but take care of organic products and also beware of root stimulators! I used to make use of the plagron 'power roots'' and pure enzyme' they were labeled to work for hydro and they worked in my previous system but not in DWC I would get brown roots and slight organic smells from my reservoir and with water temps above 23c I got root rot last summer 😪 Now I only use base nutrients (i.e. the hydro A&B nutrients from canna, they have separate for veg+stretch and flower), bloom stimulator and a bit of organic tea supplement (and sugars from botanicare sweet raw) to 'fill up' the taste a bit more keeping my water res below 19c - during the summer I cant keep my res below 21c so I won't use the organic tea. Basically my roots grow faster and are more white and plants doing better now that I do not use the root stimulator... 😅 Good luck to you and I hope your root health does well for the rest of the grow!

@Slurpy_Terpy, Things have greatly improved since I stopped using Recharge and switched to Photo+! The thick roots at the base of the net pot are still very stained from it, and slightly smell of it. I had the tiniest bit of root rot one morning but it was because a bubbler stopped working and sat stagnant all night, swapped nutes and none since (I've also elevated and insulated my buckets, and use cold packs for a constant 68-76F)! Learning to identify the stuff suuuuure has been fun, haha. Luckily I had a pretty good idea of what to look out for and was on it very quickly. Thanks for the likes and comment my dude!

Hey man hows it going? :D I did only a few days flush on a harvest 3 months ago, I feel like all my buds share a common 'nasty' taste/smell :'( Now my last run I went for 20 days flush in dwc, my best ever results were back in 2014 in hydro with a 24 day flush and 84 day flower for a '9 week strain', I am missing smell in my 'short flush & early harvest' runs, my last run with the 20 day flush has much more personality and smell, the buds already smell good now that they are dry without any cure :D I switched from DWC to living soil for the summer (hot temps in dwc can be risky... >24c my hydroguard doesn't get the job done), hoping to get more smell and taste with this growing style (will brew and feed pk compost teas every week) but if it doesn't work im switching back to DWC :D Super Silver OG sounds so dank... Ive been looking at "crocketts SSOG" seeds for a while now I think I will make the move soon... Ill follow your diary closely :D
