Can't believe I missed this thread. I was wanting to see the ggod in a SOG type setup and it looks like its doing really well, plants look healthy, but not the right plant structure for a proper SOG. ggod has so many lower branches that produce a lot of bud on their own that its hard to chop those off. This should be interesting to watch fill in. Do you have a lot of side branching?

The math on the bottles doesn't add up like the way you figure, I did the same thing at first but then found it was cheaper/~same $ and more reliable to go with Canna. Much easier to use as well. You end up not using as much Boost and Rhizotonic than they say. I have my nutrient costs with Canna Coco down to $2.42/oz running the full line (5 products.)

AN seems like its cheap because they expect you to throw the bulk of it away in hydro, whereas with the Canna (coco) its drain to waste and I use all the nutrients I mix up. AN is so salty that its impossible to use it for a long time without crust developing over everything it comes in contact with, including drip lines closing up. Canna is gentle and you can top the tank off for a few weeks before noticing any solid buildup in the bottom or coating everywhere.


Heres my current ggod grow. I opted to do minimal trimming so that those lower branches have an opportunity. They get so far up and out that they still grow dense nuggets.  I think the size I have them is about right for the type of structure the plant has.

ya I mis-spoke about the nutrient comparison, but I used to use AN in a similar way and it was not as big of a difference when comparing actual costs per gallon. I came up with a similar figure at first where it looked like Canna was going to be much more expensive. Oh and I use the Boost at half strength with comparable results, same as a friend of mine, neither of us can tell the difference.

AN is much more concentrated than Canna base nutrients. I was always getting high 1200-1800ppm's with AN, whereas Canna at full strength is about 900ppm with additives. But even when adjusted to 900ppm it would still leave a residue. I think my bottles might have aged out and causing some of the problems.


You say its perfect now but its going to get really thick in there when the buds start filling in. Its probably going to look like one giant blob of bud.

I have a spreadsheet that I've made that will calculate all the nutrient costs for a grow. Its set up for Canna but I have the template rigged to be used for any nutrients. Just enter the amount paid for each bottle and the size on the variables page, then enter the amount of water and mL of nutrients and it will tell you how much for each nutrient, %cost for that bottle, cost per gram/oz, cost per gallon and a few other things. I can upload it if you want. I've put a lot of work into it building the template to calculate all of this stuff. I even color coded it so that you input data in the green boxes and the calculations come up in the gray boxes.

Man!  That is my worst nightmare.... to pack up the nursery for a while.

Better to play it safe though.  GOOD LUCK getting everything concealed and hidden.

Thanks, it only took me a couple hours to get the tent and system busted down and packed away, thought i was gonna cry when i chopped the plants. lol So the building inspector shows up this moring, spends an hour next door going over the fire damage to the common wall on their side, then comes to my place, spends a grand total of 4 minutes looking over my side of the wall and says "its good" ffs i felt like shooting myself. lol but its better to air on the side of caution with this sort of thing..So i'll make this into an opportunity, I was going to move my current GG mom to a friends, but I decided to do away with my femmed grapegod mother and sex out a proper GG mother from 5 regular seeds i have. Once i get my flower tent setup after sexing a new mom and when its ready to clone from i'll be back and start my 2 GG comparison grows over again...really does suck i was super excited about this grow. O well.

Sorry to hear about your loss...  Any idea what started the fire?


better safe then sorry tho

---

thanks man. bit of a bummer. This is just a hobby for me, so no actual loss other than the time involved.

The cause of the fire was a electrical short in a junction box. It Wasn't even on my specific circuit, only my neighbours, but since some of my wiring runs though the same wall they came to test my circuit and check my plugs along the wall for signs of arching or something..

Thats so sad, I stressed my first few inspections. I just leave my tents up and close them and a bunch of shit in front of it and block the exhaust fan from view. From the outside its just a strange black rectangular box.

I have two tents side by side taking an entire wall up, a 4x4 and a 4x8, so when the 4x4 was in veg or not being used I unzipped the top and put a bunch of shirts at the top to make it look like it was just a wardrobe closet, with shirts on hangers across the face too. I've had a few apartment inspections with no problems, people aren't going to ask what you have in the tent, most just do their job and leave. Equipment turned off for silence, or music playing to mask the sounds of fans if needed. Incense burning all over the house help too.

The other day the guy who was installing new windows walked in to the room with the tents and carbon filter in plain view (been getting lazy) and the first thing he said was "oh, I'm sorry we had to come in and do this" then he hit the bong and told me about his plants. He knew because he knew the tent, most people don't.

As long as the smell isn't too bad, or you live in a non-medical state its fairly covert growing in a tent.

Sorry to see such a loss.

damn sorry to hear about your grow wild.  I ran into some problems that pushed me back a few months also.  Had to pull all mine also.  I had to start over again from seed.
