Hydro Grow: California Orange Bud

[music4higher]

Hey Ms. Fox! Your journal is a great read!! Question for you. You've done soil grows before? How hard was it to go from soil to hydro? Did having a soil grow(s?) under your belt better prepare you for hydro or is it just completely different? Good luc with your move!!

By the way, I have smoked what we called "orange cali" before, this is the same kind yeah? If i remember right (which i probably dont) it was some really killer stuff!

Ms. Fox,

Did you get a final dry weight yet?

congrats on your results; the nugs look fantastic

My line of thinking is that the average guy growing in soil will run into alot more problems which will eventually affect the quality and quantity produced.

When i did soil I probably had 20 diferent problems - overwatering, fert burn, various deficiencies, loss of leaf mass, bugs, just to name a few

My current grow is a hydro grow and the only problem i had was a pH issue in the beginning due to a faulty pH dip stick. Total world of difference. hehe

Thanks MK Ultraman, klep420, four20friend, jlaudiofan, and soniq420!

music4higher: About the only thing a soil grow and hydro grow have in common are the plants and making sure the ph of the water added is at the correct level. I was a fish out of water starting this grow. I wouldn't necessarily say hydro is harder than soil, it's just different. ;-)

jlaudiofan: I'm not sure if the strains are the same... Maybe they're similar.

soniq420: I will weigh out tomorrow and give a smoke report. Also, coming tomorrow are pics of the COB and Miss Daisy 2. ;-) Thanks everyone.

I love smoke reports!

Hey Ms Fox, I look forward to your final results. I read your last journal (Bagseed) and this one, both are excellent.

[music4higher]

thanks for your input ms. fox! have you decided what strain(s) you're going to be working with next? can't wait for the smoke report! a side by side smoke comparison of hydro vs. soil would be interesting.....

[Ms.Fox]

Sorry about the delay guys! I have been sick, and haven't done too much for the past few days. Just too tired. This stuff hit me like a freight train. Just be happy you can't catch a cold through the computer. ;-) I will get to it. Thanks everyone for being patient.

Feel better :)

[music4higher]

wasn't there some kind of contest between you and floridabud? any winner yet? :)

[Ms.Fox]

Thanks Bee23! I'm doin better today, but not 100%. ;-)

music4higher: No winner as of yet, but I figured I'd let the community at 420 decide. ;-)

The total weight of the 1 B52 = 7.9 oz. I'm expecting to lose some weight, because they are still a bit damp.

Smoke Report: Let me tell ya, I wasn't surprised at all by these results. I initially thought Miss Daisy was a knockout; however, the B52 paralyzed me for a few hours. I was kinda stupid and took a few hits off the bowl, instead of just one. Big no no. My whole body was numb and tingly. It felt like I was moving, but that would have been impossible.

Today, Miss Daisy 2 went into the flowering chamber. I came to the conclusion that I'm gonna take a break from growing altogether until the move. So, I will finish up the COB and MD 2. ;-)

I am having some serious issues with heat, because FloridaBud added the Producer to the room, so we have 2 grow boxes goin in the same small room. We bought a moveable floor air conditioner used, and of course it needs to be fixed, because there's no cold air coming out of it. We're workin on it at the moment.







Day 27 COB





Day 1 FL Miss Daisy
