anyone grown this? I know X-Crispi has. I'm growing some right now and would love to see any photos anyone might have if they've grown this strain.

Thanks. :)

I know you've already probably seen these, but here you go...I love the way the buds develop with this strain..certainly a tossup between this and SNL for my hydro plant...snl seed is already popping open, we'll see if I can get the rest of my stuff ordered in time..I've got a couple more pics too

this was what a friend of mine grew last..and yes, it's cotton candy..the burns we concluded ended up being from heat stress from the lights...nothing bad though, just pulled the bad ones off..:thumbsup:

Oh BOY!!!! Fun fun fun!!! :thumbsup: :dance: :woohoo: i soaked mine for 24 hours....I'd honestly say I'd do it for several days in ph'd water. Are you going to go with RO or distilled or your regular water? That's where you're going to start seeing issues. ;)

well I'll have to wait until I get my stuff for that then...but I'm using regular water here...certainly a lot of funky business in my water that probably shouldn't be...I hope it doesn't give me too much shit..

my shopping list is this..1 qt. cal mag, 1 qt. ph up and down, 3 gallons of general hydroponics nutes, a ph pen and a tds pen..

Well my hydro guy told me that I wouldn't need CalMag if I used regular tap water so not sure what you want to do there....I know X-C just recently went to RO....was he using CalMag before he switched? I didn't start using it until after I went to RO water.

You can soak your hydroton in water adjusted with baking soda or vinegar to fix ph. That won't be a problem for the soaking.....just rinse them afterwards if you go that route. ;)

Also...if you don't have H202....stick that one on your list. ....
for future: Reverse and penetrator :)

yes he was using it before the RO..he said it works well to help prevent deficiencies...I tend to like that..peroxide for keeping the water from going stagnant, correct?

Yes and just to add an extra kick of 02 to the plants. Also good to add to keep or help treat root fungus, algae, etc.... I WAS using it every other day (for the reg w/fs...20ml.....4 tsp...every other day) but I've sort of gotten out of the habit but plan on going back to doing it. I really like what it does for the plants.

k, I'll probably use a bit of it..doesn't seem like it could hurt it

It's also good just to keep it on hand in case you have a problem....not something you NEED to do....I like doing it and I like the little grow kick my plants get from it.

I like to have a couple of bottles sitting right up in the room where the plants can see them. Those bottles are Fox Farm Bug Spray, Serenade, and h202. I think having them around helps keep some of the monkeys in the cages.....;)

Isn't Cotton Candy a re-named Sweet Tooth?

Weedhound

Yes....I just read that in the Cannabible. It's actually a "knock-off" of Sweet Tooth but the author liked the cotton candy and gave it a thumbs up. No good photos though....I love Marks pics.
