@KayandtheBandit, I've got a male white widow , that I plan to cross with The Bulk in a few months.

@KayandtheBandit, herbies has bulk in-stock again

@TheUk420Show, Feeding every watering is way I go as well, I use plain water no ph adjusting with veg to save money on nutes and they generally look little worse for wear. They are also most times root bound which wouldn't be issue in coco if I hooked up automatic watering again. Id like to get automatic watering in the bloom room but getting root to coco ratio to that point will take longer than I'd like to wait. Putting the plants in bigger pots before the raised bed makes 30% of the roots stick out top of the raised beds coco. Though for efficiency a scrog with a sog plant count seems to do best. Canopy evenness, root spread , and to some degree pruning and training are easier. Out here in southern Virginia day temps outside are mid to low 80F (26-29c). Inside it stays 73F (22-23c) my mini split ac unit does good job cooling and keeping humidity in check. One main reasons I didn't run CO2 this run couldn't get temp up high enough to warranty it with out my humidity getting way too high. My nutes are in a 20 and 55 gallon (75L & 208L) containers that sit on concrete so they stay cool. In past with manageable size pots if I had salt build up or high EC I would set the pot in a tote and pour tap water through it and let it sit for hour or so. I'd Measure EC of the water left in tote and rinse and repeat till it's in range. Then the last flush I'd mix a batch nutes up and get it to a good ph . That way plant doesn't stress from the osmotic change of going to straight plain water over the long term. This probably is the top reason I love coco over "soil".

@TheUk420Show, Only time I have salt issues is when I go overboard on the ph up. I used to use General hydro dry ph up (potassium carbonate )till they discontinued it. That 1 kilo bag lasted me years the 1 gal liquid stuff goes too quick , so I got ph up from kelp4less (calcium hydroxide) cheap enough but it doesn't mix in like the potassium. Now If I need to raise ph I get kettle going and use almost boiling water to dissolve the calcium hydroxide and I add in potassium hydroxide so I can cut back on how much I have to put in. When I reuse coco my only issues is the old roots. I sift most I can out , but when the rest start to compost it starts to lower my ph. I love the fabric pots , I have times specially with the 5 and 7.5 gallon ones that they like to become meshed with the coco/roots . My 200 gallon raised bed is a huge fabric pot 1m x 2m x 0.5m. I run 150ish liters through it and long as it doesn't suck up all the fluid I let it cycle . That way EC and PH even out both in the media and the reservoir. I don't always fertigate this way as I think it would be wetter than the plant can handle. Maybe every other week or so. Do you fertigate every watering or do you rotate with plain water? This plant is biggest I've flowered indoors but I've done the same size canopy with 3 plants and they seem to finish about the same time. No matter the size one grow to the next they've always finished 70-73 days from flip. When running my CO2 burner at 1200 ppm I did tend to finish more at day 69/70. I think when you grow, the size of the plant determines the need for higher EC and/or more frequent fertilizing. specially with potassium in both late veg and bloom it needs to be handy . Your user name nod to the youtuber or is that your channel?

WOW i thought my one plant scrog was big lmao think might be the largest 1 plant I've ever seen well done for your patience going to be a Fing huge yield :) imma say 2kg :)

@TheUk420Show, coco mix is like 70% coco, 25% perlite , 5% clay pellets kind tried few ratios over the years. after while they all got mixed in together . love the coco, I never dump it just add cube every few years. Need to get an enzyme in there for the old roots but so far so good.

@TheUk420Show, The bulk goes to 70-74 days, my phantom cookies can be plucked at day 50 but extra 2wks does the weight justice. I generally will take most strains to the 70 day mark unless the start foxtailing or throwing "male" flowers (not hermie just end of life nanners that make feminized seeds). The bulk pulls 30-40% more weight by any metric used to measure than any strain I've grown over last 20+ years of growing . Got lucky I ordered a single seed bout 7 years ago just to see if it was hype. Its 8/10 for appeal both smell n looks with top notch potency. I used to run bunch of additives , changing nute ratios every feed, chasing after perfect runoff ph. In the end I learned strong quality light, EC of around 2 , General hydroponic trio series 1:1:1 veg - wk6/7 then 1:2 ratio with lucas formula slowly tapering to an EC of 1 by end of flower, flushing only if i see a salt build up but I generally dont and if ph in is good the I ignore runoff ph. Id say top 3 things that took my grow from hoping for 5-8oz to really hitting my stride : coco coir , mars hydros lm301b quantum leds , defoliation.

@TheUk420Show, She's 213cm x 122cm , Id say 1 square meter is at 53cm tall (net to tips) rest ranges from 20cm - 48cm. On avg I get 1400g with 90% being grade "A" and 5% "B+". Not really any "larf" or fluff with the strain. Even the lower buds are almost on point with some of my other strains upper mid grade. If I really pushed this setup I definitely could hit the 2Kg mark or more. With working , household chores , 2 boys one just turned 3y.o I just don't have the kind of time to dedicate to making it maxed out a.t.m. I will keep this grow updated and give decent attention to harvest pics and number crunching.

week 6! (Day 42)

Well I ordered an electronic PH and a TDS/EC meters. I usually use Ph fluid I find it more consistent, but figure I'd double check anyway . I've 2 old TDS meters same brand they measure with in 30 ppm of each other, but their buttons are getting touchy so I got a new TDS pen. Took a reading from my veg res old pen : 169 ppm new pen: 170 ppm ok cool everything is kosher. I put new pen in bloom res 2480ppm (wth??) old pen 104 ( x10) or 1040ppm. I'm guessing the older pens are accurate in a certain range? This strain doesn't mind hot nutes luckily but I like tds range of 800 - 1200ppm.

Going to try to get better/different shots space is tight and my zoom out only does so much. If anyone wants specific pic of anything in the garden just let me know.

@Jorgeeee, marshydro tsw2000 300w hung about 10-12" from tops, I've 3 on light mover in bloom 28" on center from each other. Paid 240$ -260$ per light, I bought 2 saw that they rocked and got 3 more during 420 sale. They have 5 year warranty when bought from marshydro site and customer service at least for me has been 5 stars.
