Grow ten atu

My gosh how quick they recover amazing to me this hydro growing. How quick when it's done properly they grow so rapidly. Thank you it's just beautiful watching them progress.
 
Spidermite I haven't wanted to do any defol until 20 days of 12/12, but leaves are on leaves and causing some sweating, so I knew I had to do some trimming. I have a super-Indica phenotype of the OGKush--nothing like the phenotype I grew before: she is so thick and leafy, and I think she won't stretch that much at all...
 
With regards to your growing skill alltatup….yes to me it appears to be a faster turn around than soil/coco. I don't have the best of the best equipment and only growing for 3yrs. indoors. I've turned a photo grow over at my best grow took 4months indoors. That's vegging maybe 4-5wks then flipping. Outdoors here where I live is a 6month maybe shorter all up to nature. Less control over environment with outdoor gorilla grows and my grow so far outdoor is not going well.
 
I did some reading: hydro can make plants grow up to 25% faster is what they said. I didn't realize that the difference between soil and hydro was so significant.

I imagine that outdoor growing is becoming much more challenging with the effects of global warming; we don't really know what each "season" is going to do anymore. Very worrisome... I hope your outdoor grow is going well!
 
It's just getting harder for me to do alltatup my outdoor the way I really want to because I can't devote as much time as it needs with working at my 10hr daily job. Bottom line. Yes everything with my current outdoor is slowwwww. The mishaps on my part and the weather combo is not conducive to my plants. Timing on my part , messing up on not keeping them vegging indoors in tent longer and getting them stronger before placing them in greenhouse. Dang dog spring boarding off the tops of several didn't help as they were auto's and they are OK but it's slowed down everything it appears. My photo 4 are not doing much as I can see growth wise. We have not had steady warm temps yet, i'm keeping my hopes up for these but currently not promising looking. Sorry for the pissy post, i'm like a kid waiting for summer and it's the last week of school. Antsy and impatient I need to see progress. We really count on these outdoor grows for our personnel use.
 
Soil growing is slower. It has other benefits increasing terpenes, which helps flavor and aroma. It's easier for me, harder for others. Just use the method you enjoy.

But yes outdoor grows are getting very hard. Trust me I Know. I dont know why bud rot is so bad now. And mold is rampant. Higher temps? More rain? Higher humidity? No clue but has changed significantly over the past 10 years.

I do not believe in this myth that the grass on earth is better as terpenes. It's all up to growers to be able to adjust with fertilizers.
 
I tried to find some actual terpene counts on soil vs hydroponics. Its apparently a mute point since the scientists first only count top soil as soil. All bought potting soils are considered soiless mediums. All tests were on fruits grown inside vs outside. All inside grows were considered "soiless" mediums and even some outside grows were considered soiless.

Would like to see some numbers of 1 vs the other not using the sun and on cannabis vs fruit.
 
I have read that the soil grown plants have aromas that are richer in terpenes but where I’d read it is a mystery. I’ve been tearing thru books for the last year and I’ll need to go and look again. Despite speed of growth, the final results must still be linked to the genetics. Despite the best growing practices in the world, you can’t make a plant exceed its DNA map. Just like people, genetics provide anything from hair, eye color, height, weight, skin texture etc. and while we can nurture and care for our bodies to preserve these characteristics, we can also screw up and fight them to an early demise.

i know Alltatup starts with good genetics and on top of that , practices superb growing practices. I am afraid she can’t help coming up with nothing short of great.

Oh trust me I know alltatup can grow. I've been watching her grows for a long time. I was never implying her buds are not top shelf. I know hers is all top shelf. Do not misunderstand me. And she knows I've been searching for everything I can on terpenes, cannaboids, and now flavonoids. Which I had forgotten until she sent me an article a day or so ago.

Just so much to research. And alltatup knows how much I respect her and her opinion. At least I hope she does.
 
I just love driving around our country roads late summer and smelling the grows :) windows down warm dry air and the smell of terpenes euphoric !!
 
Geez... send me a map. Country roads around here only get you the finger for slowing up traffic 😉
