Thanks for the input, too bad about the edit time. Have you thought about running a sulfur burner to prevent mold, or do you get it very seldom?
What kind of soil and feeding schedules do you typically run?

Bluebear. I have considered a sulfer burner and will be buying one in December for my new room. The new room has a humidity problem so aside from a dehumidifier were going to have a burner as a precautionary method. My only problem with burners is that they can definitely affect the smoothness of the bud. I never had a problem with taste being affected much, but it just seemed harsher and burned quicker, hurt my lungs. To be honest, the SaferGro Mildew Cure works 95% of the time. I spray em about once every 2 weeks. After 2 sprays it usually doesnt show itself again, and if it does show again, I can spray a 3rd time and they are gone. You can use it up to the last 2 weeks of flowering no problem. Its 100% organic so you ever could use it later then that, but your bud might smell/taste like garlic (never happened to me but its a strong smell so...).Quote:

When I move into flowering, I move to a 3/2/1 ratio of B,M, and G over a few waterings (slowly increasing). When flowering hits, the ppm with my additives (VitaBoost, Big Bud, and a tiny bit of Growth Excel) is around 1200. Right now deep into flowering, I am at about 1800, with a tiny bit of burn. Last time this worked ok but this time around they dont like it quite as much. I am about to start cutting it off pretty dramatically. I do 2 ferts then regular water, 2 ferts then regular water, etc. I am about to move to 1 fert then 1 water as I lower the PPM.
Im going to do yet another experiement with the Trainwreck, as once again (Ive done this before) I am going to harvest about half the plants early and half the plants a little late. Trainwreck is a heavy sativa so I want to see how the trichrome matureity really affects the sativa "head" high. Last time I liked the stuff I harvested early (50% clear, 50% cloudy) better then later (almost all cloudy and some amber).
Wow, I love people in general. Yesterday I met a gentlemen off the internet and we ended up doing a trade. I traded a Trainwreck mother plant (after it was cut short too) for a brand new 600 watt HPS bulb. Except not only did I end up with a bulb, but I ended up with 2 Purple G clones, some Purple Bear seeds (I have heard about these, uber purple), some Mango seeds, and some Mango X Lavender seeds.
My mother collection is now as follows:
Trainwreck
Cindy 99
Unknown Chronic
Unknown Indica (everything below this is clone form, not a mother yet)
Jedi
Powerplant
Blueberry
Grapefruit
Purple G
With the Trainwreck mothers, I take about 60-70 clones every 2-3 weeks. With the Cindy 99s, about 35 every 3 weeks. One of my rooms has many different cycles, its just a constant wave. I also started germinating the Purple Bear so hopefully in a month and a half, I can clone like mad.
Thats it for now folks, no pics until tonight.
Thanks for the answers. I may pick up some of that SaferGro Mildew Cure for future purposes just to have around. Right now it is winter and the H is low. I may have to pick up a humidifier. Sounds like you are starting a MJ Basken Robins with 31 flavors of moms.
