BukDatAss Reviewed by BukDatAss on 02-03-2006. What strain would you pick? Hello guys, As you may know, I'm about to begin my first grow. Overview: 1000W, cabinet LST SCRoG, hydro NFT I've got two strains: White Widow and Bubblelicious For the experienced, what strain do you suggest? I'm going to plant only one of them. Rating: 5

Thanks Bk, thanks Buk
When I saw the roots, wow... I was super happy to say the least!

Anyways, taking Bk's advice, and now seconed by Buk, I added some Schlutz Cactus Juice... about 25% strength, I believe.

I don't know if what I'm smoking is good, but I think I saw an improvement already... I'll try to do one more update tonight... in about an hour... I hope... if I don't fall asleep...

Anyways, thanks for the support!

Best guys,

Answering some un-answered questions...

What seed bank did you get you're Widow's from?

Weed Farmer... if I'm not mistaken.

hey turtle iam trying to figure that out now. i want to find a strain that is the shortest and bushiest strain and when i figure that out im going to spring for some seeds from a seed bank. as now im bag seed grower only.any suggestions would be appreciated. piccts too

What's up skippi
Sorry for not replying before, but as you can see, I had roots!

Anyways, I'm a newb on this growing business... I bought White Widow, to be quite honest, because of the name. But I didn't know jack shit about Indica or Sativa... or this or that... I'll be trying different strains in the future. I also ordered Bubblelicious [?] and White Russian.

As to your "shortest and bushiest strain", well, again, I don't know. My mothers are pretty short and bushy (less than 16" high, from bottom of pot to top of plants)... but I've LSTed the shit out of them. FIM/topping/pinchin', I've only done on secondary growths... not on the very top of the plants... and I only did it in two or three... or four or five... secondary growths... just to experiment... to see what would happen... now I know!

Best,

Nice roots turtle.

Now why didn't they take up the nutrients? Does the fogger take out the nutrient because the molecule size is larger? Your plants should not be all spent looking like that with roots and nutrients.

Hey G! Good to see your post...

Well, the fogger I have is the NutraMist... supposedly it works wonders... and I'm sure it does... and I'm sure we'll see in the future with my grow...

But, maybe it was the nutes? Too weak? Again, I was using GH's clone strength mix, @ 50%. But, I don't know if they're better right now...

Another thing I'm thinking::: When will it be time to remove the humidity dome? They have to come out of there some time in their lives...

Hey turtle,

When I did my fogger thing, I never used a humidity dome, even when I initally transplanted from soil.

Are the clones starting to get greener? I hope they make it long enough to sex.

So how are the results from the topping?

Well, here's my situation with the fogger...

You know how every grow room is a carefull balancing act between different factors? Well, my mother cabinet (where I'm cloning for sex) has dimensions::: 12"x24" base, 24" height. I installed a 50CFM fart fan @ the top, pulling air out of the cabinet. Passive air intake.
PROBLEM: The 50CFM fart fan sucks all the fog out of the pot&dome in less than 2-3 minutes. So I've got it 1minON/9minOFF, but still, after the pot and the dome get filled with fog, about 3 minutes later, it's all completely gone.

How did you do it, Gen?
I need to have an "escape" for the fog, or the NutraMist won't be able to "pump IN" the fog into the root chamber. But, that same opening, allows the fog to... bye bye!

Ideas?

So how are the results from the topping?

Topping... on my plants? I'll take some pics and post them later tonight. I cut the top off a few secondary growths... I cut @ a slanted angle (about 45degrees) the top off, and about three new growths appeared... in addition, (in one case) because of the cut and the healing time, a pre-cut secondary growth catched-up with the rest of the stem, and now it's bigger than the top's 3 growth shoots.

Again, I'll snap some pics and post them.

Rasta, where the heck are you buddy? It's been a long time since you posted... my plants and me are missing you dude...

Anyways, I'll update in a while... thanks for the replies guys!

Turtle I suggest doing this. Make the area from the plant being connected to the tub be completely sealed. Then in the middle of the tub have about a 2" hole so air can escape into the upper plant area. Then put another 2" hole in the humidity dome. This would create the following circuit for the fog:

1.) Air enters the Nutrimist fogger.
2.) The fog gets pushed into the rooting area of the plants.
3.) The rooting area will fill up with fog.
4.) The fog then pushes its way into the humidity dome only after filling the rooting area.
5.) The humidity dome fills up with fog.
6.) Excess fog escapes via the 2" hole at the top of the humidity dome.

Also I hope you have been keeping the fogger on constantly...

Gen, I STRONGLY disagree with your views on the fogging method of cloning.

Also turtle, I dont think you should be giving the clones nutrients just yet either. But, let's say that you wanted to give them nutrients. The fogger makes the water molecules about 2-4 microns big. That is small enough to fit into the pores of the roots. This eliminates pH problems. And because the pH isn't a problem anymore, the plant gets ALL the nutrients you put in the water mixture. And since the nutrients are usually water soluable they are still in the 4 micron thick piece of water. Goodluck <3

And sorry if my ides are not organized because I'm just not thinking clearly today.
