That's better !-- I use a grow nute -a bloom -- A water conditioner called Hydroguard -- Cal/Mag because of the RO water !-- I use about a third of the recommended amount of grow or bloom !-- I'm worried I may have to add less than what that Lucas formula recommends ! -- When I harvest and refill a box I add a scoop of Micos and my regular nutes -Bout 12 gallons --In bloom they start in fresh box of nutes and I only top off after that !-- I know I grow small plants but I see no reason to do a nute change !-- I seen with my own eyes it is not a problem !

When you guys are feeding with GH how close do you follow the chart

oldfogey8 · Jan 20, 2017

My plan was to use the recommended serving size and go from there. I am sure the experienced growers here let the plants tell them what they need. I want to have some plants that are so green they almost look black and shiney too. I have seen so plants on here that look so healthy and vigorous, I'd almost be afraid they would grab me, pull me in the tent and feed off me... &#55357;&#56846;

Hey we staying at this place across the street from this big lake -- It all looks different but I just realized that right across the street when I was 17--- I recovered a body in 30 feet of water on the side of a sunken road ! -- Black water scuba man ? -- No more !

Evening OFC
Hope everyone is hanging in there.
Got some weed from a old buddy today. I buy a 1/2, He brings a bag that looks like a O.
Very whispy weed. It got me high. And it was grown outdoors.
Got go deal with the 3 Fem beans that sprouted.

Bud If those are 3 to 5 gal you could use them to make wine.
I would of took them fast.

Keef · Jan 20, 2017

U could use them for wine but I'm sold on 5 gallon buckets with a good tight lid for brewing but that's because I freeze it off and need to poke some holes to get to the brandy !--Just making wine they will work !-- I got a couple 5 gallon and 2 1/2 gallons ones I use to store RO water for the grow !- Let it stabilize before I use it !

Budlight · Jan 20, 2017

They are 5 gallon that's why I took them now just what to do with them I have always been a fan of apple pie moonshine. Anyone on here have any good recipes

Keef · Jan 20, 2017

That sounds pretty damn tasty I just might have to try and make some of that

Keef · Jan 20, 2017

5 lbs or cans of Apple pie filling ---5 lbs sugar -- 1 package of red star wine yeast !-- blend or mash up pie filling add water and sugar stir together good add yeast !-- I use these bubbler air locks -- U want to allow the CO2 escape but keep outside air out !-- U might need to ferment in the grow room for the temp !-- Takes about 2 weeks for the yeast to eat all the sugar and turn it into alcohol !-- U can get a thing to measure the sugar content or U can just taste it !-- Any sweetness at all and it's not ready !-- I can see the bubbles slow down in my airlock bubbler !--After the sugar is gone -- I put it in the freezer for 24 hours -- The poke some holes in the ice the alcohol will be in the middle !-- Freeze that in a my jug until no more ice forms and it's done !-- Kill the yeast a sweeten slightly !

Keef · Jan 20, 2017

Sweet thanks buddy I'm definitely going to try this The pair one that you make sounds really tasty as well

Bud that 5 gallons will make about 1/2 gallon of potent brandy !-- Only thing I've had problems getting right is peach !-- Frozen fruit comes in a 5 lbs bag !-- Blueberry -Cherry --Strawberry all work well! -- The pear I made with 3 -36 oz cans of pears in heavy syrup !-- No matter the fruit the recipe stays about the same !-- Note if U freeze it too long the first time it can freeze solid !-- U want to drain the brandy when there is still about 2 gallons of liquid -- 24 hours in a freezer works for me !-- Then I switch to milk jugs and freeze it again until I can get it all into a one gallon jug !-- U can stop there it'll be about 80 proof !- It will need to be sweetened some to bring out the proper flavor !
