I'm back with another episode of Grump's Grows.
This time, we'll be talking about HSC's Guzzlers. This one really stood out to me with it's description. Most of the strains on their website have a pretty simple (herbal, fruity, citrus etc.) description of the terps. Not Guzzlers...
How could you pass that up?!
If they went out of their way to describe it like that vs how they describe the rest of their strains, it must stand out from the crowd, right? Right??
I snagged a 5 pack from @B2ACG for $55. They all sprouted 5 for 5 on 4/21.
Here they are tonight...
Got 1 runt and a freak that'll probably get tossed. The other 3 are pretty similar.
-------
Here's a couple lists of what I'll be using this round.
Equipment:
SpiderFarmer 5x5 tent (vaulted ceiling edition)
UnderCurrent 8 gallon 4-site system
CLW SolarSystem 1100 grow light
ACI Germination dome with lights
ACI heating pad
ACI Controller 69 pro
ACI 6" exhaust fan with refillable carbon filter
ACI 6" inline fan for intake from lung room
ACI CloudForge T7 humidifier
Vornado 1500w space heater
2x ACI CloudRay oscillating fans
2x BlueLab ph/ppm monitors
AquaticLife 4 stage RO/DI system
Active Aqua 1/10hp chiller
Alita 15 lpm air pump
General Hydroponics grow plugs
Nutrients:
Athena's Blended line
General Hydroponics RapidRooter
Plant Success Orca Liquid Mycorrhizae
Mr. Fulvic organic Fulvic Acid
0ppm RO/DI water
-------
I've been busy lately (I know.. I say it all the time) so the seedlings have quite a bit of visible roots coming out of the bottom of the netpots. I should've gotten the tent ready sooner, but I finally got around to it tonight. No plants in the system yet, but it's filled and circulating a pretty high concentration of bleach water. Whether or not it's necessary, It's a good way to get all the pipes and pumps squeaky clean. After a day, I'll swap it out for a batch with a bottle or 2 of H202 to neutralize any remaining bleach after draining. Dump that and add the plants. Couple days tops.
I'll start them low and work my way up with the nutes. I won't run it nearly as hot this round. All in all, the Athena nutes worked well enough last round that I'll use them again, no hesitation. Won't be buying any more though.. just not worth the price. As much as I hated mixing those Lotus nutes, my plants were freakin' LUSH. I might consider them again in the future.
And this is for those that aren't in on the vaulted ceiling joke...
A grow or so ago, I chopped the top and made my tent and convertible. It has since been modified and fused into my basement ceiling adding those extra inches we sometimes need.
So far in my four site system, I've only harvested half the plants I grew in those 2 grows. Beans were testers and I ended up with freaks in both rounds that only showed their ugly faces a few weeks into flower. I'm hoping for much better results this round. Guzzlers hit the market last year so I don't know how established it is, but HSC is at least reputable.
Any questions - feel free to ask
Criticism is welcome.
And as always,
