Yep, that's the guy.... But, ironically, if I was looking for the best Chem 91 representation, I wouldn't go for lucky dog beans. He doesn't use the Chem 91 mother cut for much in his crosses, but uses his Chem 91bx males crossed to other elite female cuts. That's why I chose Schwaggy's stuff to work with instead... And I guess even that isn't as Chemmy or stanky as you'd think, and so the world turns lol

Then again, maybe the father lends the funk in these cases? Who's got some Lucky Dog to confirm?

I feel you there. That is the main reason that I have never purchased any cultivars from Lucky Dog. I can't speak to their quality personally though. I haven't had the pleasure of running anything from @Schwaggy P yet, but I have definitely heard good things. Positive vibes...

We are all hoping for a Schwaggy comeback. Absolutely standup man, and loves Cannabis. He is near and dear to our hearts, and is a part of pH staff.

I may take you up on that Green Crack. Let's see how this batch turns out. I sincerely appreciate that offer ?

What type of hydro do you run?

No problem, someone should try them out in case they pop.

I run a recirculating hydro. It feeds from a rez below, up to the top of the buckets, and back down. I guess the most accurate description overall would be an NFT type system.

Yeah, I felt good things too, so I ordered the Skunky VA, And Skunky VA x Skunky D. I should have reports, and maybe F2s, if I'm lucky, in 10-12 weeks or so, and looking forward to them!

would love to see your setup. How about a journal? I'm running a DIY UC RDWC and some F&D Totes. RDWC has been pure UV, no bennies this run. Has worked out quite well. F&D has had some bennies, cuz I haven't figured out a way to try UV in them. For 3 week veg, they have been outstanding in growth and yield.

Nice, I've thought about UV, but have heard conflicting reports, and haven't taken the plunge yet... It's probably about the last thing I need to try, if pool shock doesn't work. My temps are regularly 80-90f+, so Bennie's had a hard time keeping up, and now I've been on pool shock for the last couple weeks.

My indoor grow is in the journal called "Vertical DIY LED recirculating hydro... Thing" in the journals section here. I also have a solar powered recirculating hydro thread in the outdoor section. We'll see how successful they are lol

Nice I will check it. Yes @HydroRed has been using pool shock (HTH regular?) and I will try that for the next run. I could never find 30% H2O2 here and buying 50 bottles of Walmart 2% was being a hassle so yea, I'm down for anything that works FOR REALS.

Yeah, HTH is the brand. I got mine from my mom's hot tub stash, but I know it's cheap as hell, especially for what you use. It's like $5 a lb, and you literally use a grain or two per gallon. It's tough to measure, even with a thousandths scale! Here's a pic of the bottles I got mine from. Parts 2 and 3 of the HTH system. I've just been using #2 so far, but I dunno the difference between the two.

Thanks man. Definitely gonna put this in the next regimen. The amount is so tiny. It's almost scary to be putting some pool chem in the water for a live plant. But It's SCIENCE. And I am always down for science ?

 

[MacGydro]

Yeah, it's tough to measure, depending on how much water you're adding to, but there's formulas out there for stock solutions too. Your plants should be safe up to 5ppm of shock, and maintenance doses are generally around 3ppm.

But if the UV is keeping you clean, I'd say don't mess with a good thing!

HTH regular strength (Step 3) pool shock has been working amazing for me for about 6 weeks or so. No algae and bright white roots. I mix 5 g of the shock in a gallon of water for stock solution then apply 5ml of the solution per gallon in the res every 3 days. Im small scale so a small batch of solution works well for me.
The only real difference in the "super" HTH pool shock is the lower percentage of Calcium Hypochlorite @ 52% in the original. I think the Super is somewhere around 67%.
A 1 lb bag for $6 will last me a decade.

Nice, yeah, I think I need to start a stock solution too. I've only been using it a couple weeks, and the whole grains-at-a-time thing is getting tedious quick!

Just some comment on the pool shock.

They have other stuff in them 52% would be the least desireable imo I did not have luck with it, it seemed to push pH up to 7 which is where they want it for pools. The more concentrated the better imo. I 99% calcium hypochlorte 2lbs off the zon for not much more than the hth 52%. I have read reports of isues with the 62% stuff too but apparently there is also a 73%version that works without report of issue.

With the 99% I use .4g per qt. for a stock solution then 10-20ml /gal to treat. That calsulated to low to mid single digit ppm Cl.

Day 67 or so. I'm not even going to scope. I think they've been done for a while now. So busy with other things and hard to find motivation to pull but I need to. Stinkiest batches I've ever grown. I think the Purpinator did something. I'd say at least 25% stinkier than any batch I've grown. Probably more. We'll see as I harvest cuz when I cut down plants, it's like mowing a lawn x1700%. I really need better carbon filters. These plants blew right through them about 3 weeks ago.

Samples, more pics later as I harvest.


Insane. That's just a 1/4 of the tent, the rest is filled like that too. Pure oldskool goodness.


Foxtail n fades. GSC looking good.


Skywalker Ghost Kush - this was a freebie fem seed. Kicking ass.

More to come soon. Stay tuned.

@spyralout my man! Trying to catch up with everything and everyone I’m behind on. Didn’t want you to think I was ghosting your journal brother. Still hammering down with full blown jungle madness I see. Love all the variety and man they’re looking good. Hope all is well, I’ll be here more I hope. Been getting better news as of lately which is a relief. Keep on keepin on brother ????✌?

 

[Uncle Rom]

Looks like the NL s have started. Nothing major and hard to get a good pic but I’ll keep trying this winter. Moon was too bright.

The air is crisp and electric.
Snow soon

Beauty pics mang, I'm envious. Lol.
One of these days/years mang I'll have to trip it up there. I haven't had a good fish'n trip in a long, long ass while. Lol. Be some dope shit to come see your stomping grounds. ???
Might even be able to convince @spyralout to ride shotgun. ???
You'll have to meet us at the border with some of those delicious herbs of yours for the drive up though. I'd have to leave mine in ND for when we made the journey back.
???
Weed have troubles making it with no smoke through Canada, pun intended. Lmfao
And fix that dang boat before we get there, no replay of the Titanic please. ???
