Nutrient Lock ?

[quote=PhatJay]Yeah they do deteriorate and so do other types of bulbs.

"CFLs produce less light later in their lives than when they are new. The light output decay is exponential, with the fastest losses being soon after the lamp is first used. By the end of their lives, CFLs can be expected to produce 70â??80% of their original light output" (taken from wikipedia).

I plan to use mine for at least half of their 10,000 hour life. But I'm a tight ass when it comes to money.

Thrips are little bugs that suck the sap of plants, they were pretty easy to get rid of tbh. The strain was of unknown origin. The genetic line is dead now, so even if I wanted to, I can't grow that strain again.

Sad that you didnt know. She definitely served you well !

I think it is going to be down to personal choice, but growing a mix of high yielding and high potency plants seems like a good idea to me. Growing in pots means you can easily negate problems like different heights or the different nutrient needs, so mixing the varieties isn't going to give you any major problems. I want to be able to grow enough so that I don't have to buy weed anymore. Because I have limited space and lighting that means high yielders for me. I guess it also depends on how much you smoke.

Ye same, i would like to grow enough that i dont have to buy any but that requires constant growing which i do plan to do. Im looking for high yielders now, definitely seems like the best idea. The only problem with growing so many plants at once is that they all grow into each other so the leaves at the top block light getting to lower down the plant. Similair to the rainforest i suppose, the canopy stopping sunlight reaching the ground. So im thinking maybe 4 next time so the light can penetrate further. Going to get 2 from barneys and 2 from greenhouse so they should be pretty solid i nterms of genetics.

I do intend to try "fancier" strains in the future because I really like fruity weed. I'm thinking a good old fashioned Grapefruit or a Strawberry cough (I have tried lemon haze - smells nice but I didn't like the taste). I am happy with the hit I get from so called "B" strains (they were A strains not that many years ago).

I also like fruity weed. I also had strawberry cough in dam, nice high to have during the day, not too heavy. I do hear that its very gangly and grows all over the place so many an lst or something ? I would prefer to have more of a b strain than a smaller amount of an a strain. Sometime a strains are just a bit too much...like having a shot of vodka or having a shot of absinthe !
