Herbal Peppery Citrus
Incredible Bulk is a mixture of three notable indicas. Big Bud combines with Super Skunk and Green Spirit to create the sweet earthy flavors of hash that usher in Incredible Bulk’s relaxing effects. Its sedating effects make Incredible Bulk a great choice to help you unwind at the end of the day. Originally bred by Dr. Krippling for its heavy yields and ease of growth, Incredible Bulk is a very stable plant that makes a compelling case for indoor cultivation. The buds are known to explode in size when grown hydroponically.

Start Date: 5/28/2020
Germination Method: 1.5 inch rockwool cube

Growth Method: single bucket DWC with pond pump circulation.

Lighting: Combination of LED Flood bulbs of unknown origin for vegetation period.

PICS FROM OTHER GROWERS

“Bred to be a heavy weight performer, this plant does not disappoint. Ideally needs to be switched to flower before it is 2 feet tall, or else it can be difficult to maintain indoors. Almost impossible to hurt this plant – it can take a huge range of ph / nutrient fluctuations, withstands extremes in heat and moisture, and joyfully devours any CO2 enhancement. This plant mutates and adapts to its environment – one perfectly grown, big plant can produce upto the same yield of twenty plants of normal size. Boxing-glove sized buds are to be expected on perfect large plants grown in Hydroponics, with CO2 enhancement. ”

After marking hype, 230 watts. Interesting what have been your yields like with the LED rack.

I'm very happy with the way the lights are producing. Seems there is improvement over 400 watt HPS. Definitely better on the electric bill.
May 30: seed has popped and about to breach.

Whats in the mash?

Corn, sugar, yeast, amalyse b .
Next bucket replaced amalyse with malt barley. This still could be more efficient I got about a quart out of a three gallon.

You should take advantage of your three part nutrients.

He should get some decent LED lights, too. Here's my latest rig:
Here's part of my last grow. Sorry for jacking your thread Irwin

I wonder why LEDs aren't more prevalent in the agriculture supplying our local rec market? Most indoor here is still done using slightly better versions of the lamps we had back in OG days.

There are several reasons, but the main reason is that a lot of growers still don't trust LEDs as a large-scale option because so many companies sell shitty LEDs and lie about specs that don't live up to the hype. Which gives all LEDs a bad name.

For example, when you advertise something as a "2000W equivalent", when in fact it draws just 230W from the wall and only delivers 180-190W or so to the LEDs (the driver and fans use about 15-20% of the power); claim your LEDs are "full spectrum" when they are not (a CMH has a better spectrum than that); claim they have UV when they don't; claim they are "the closest thing to sunlight" when they are far from it; claim a 700,000 hour lifespan when the LEDs themselves only have a lifespan of 30,000-40,000 hours tops; claim 1800 umol/j at 12" which is clearly bullshit; you get the picture.

Why would anyone take LEDs seriosuly when you read all that ^ and discover just about every claim made about the light is untrue?

Sorry Irwin, I'm not trying to put the boots in, but you have to call that light for what it is. A piece of shit. For almost the same price you could have bought something decent from an American company like HLG. This 135W kit would kill that fixture, Plus it is silent and has no moving parts: https://horticulturelightinggroup.com/c ... ec-led-kit" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

So that's the first reason growers have been slow to adapt to LEDs – because the industry is full of shit, mostly perpetuated by lying-arse cheap Chinese vendors, and a lot of growers aren't yet sure what they're looking at.

Another reason is set-up costs: good LEDs can be more expensive than HIDs, but that cost is offset by other factors. You save at least 1/3 of your direct energy (lighting) costs, as well as climate control (aircon) in warmer environments; you never have to replace light bulbs; LEDs last for years and do not lose light output as fast as HIDs; better spectrum for the same wattage can mean better yields.

But mostly I think its just a matter of people catching on to the technology. Most growers who switch to decent LEDs never go back. If HIDs were better, I wouldn't have made the switch myself. Indeed, I was as skeptical as anyone that LEDs could replace HIDs, but my first grow detroyed that myth.

Anyway, now that I've fucked Irwin's thread, I'll STFU and let him grow.

Irwin,s skeptical
you better send him a light to prove your point.

June 13. You know I grow ghetto and don't spend money on s***. I don't even have a pH meter, I use tap water and s***my nutes are blood piss and lemon juice. Don't Jack my thread or I go full-blown BLM on your ass

These r my vegging bulbs prawn. Some guy gave them to me for free. They have little color dots just like yours.

I don't want to keep spamming the place up (I'm already doing a pretty good job!), but if you guys are interested in any LED stuff you'll definitely be looked after. We're not in a position to start giving them away just yet, but we can offload them close to cost price for you guys if you want to try them to compare with what you already have.

Here are some photos I took the other day of a CMH/LED mixed room. The LED in the photos is one of ours.

The water pumps made the water too warm and she got root rot. Change to an aquarium air pump hopefully she'll recover.

Totally boss thread Irwin. Hope she recovers. Kinda not making a good case for hydroisbetter.

finishing nicely...

That's awesome! It just goes to show that our LEDs are fool-proof – they truly exploit every grower's innate talents!

What was the deal with the pond pump? Did you have a waterfall effect inside the bucket to aerate it, or were you just using the pump to circulate water?

Aeration is obviously the key to DWC, and most people think it's the bubbles that blow through the nutrient solution that saturates the water with oxygen. But nearly all the oxygen exchange is at the surface, and happens when the bubbles burst and break the surface tension of the water, allowing the oxygen to be dissolved.

It's been a while since I did DWC, but the other trick to start new clones or seedlings – if you're not already doing it – is to keep the rockwool suspended above the waterline. If you are now using an air pump and aquarium stone, you need the rockwool cube and the basket it sits in to sit in the region just above the surface where the bubbles burst and create a fine mist of oxygenated water (like the effervescent bubbles on top of a glass of soda). That will give the roots the best start.

You also want to keep temperatues as best you can between 15C and 21C. Cold water lacks metabolic warmth which slows root growth. Warm water is less dense than cold water and does not absorb as much oxygen. The warmer the water gets, the less oxygen it dissolves and that is what leads to root rot. Pythium root rot thrives in anaerobic conditions and breeds exponentially faster in warm water. If your water is consistently above 25C, it can be a problem, but you can still manage DWC as long as you have lots of aeration to compensate.

See? It's a good thing you didn't eat me, because sometimes shrimp come in handy!

I live in a tin can in a swamp, so temperature has always been my DWC challenge. The pond pump I was using was pumping water up above the surface and falling back down to create maximum surface exposure. THis particular time the water was jetting very close to the rockwool cube, and was running 24/7. Pump friction heated the water to an unsafe level. I have moved it into a smaller bucket, with the air stone. I haven't had this issue in quite a while, I guess I got unvigilant about heat. The room's target temperature is 76, but in the heat of the day, the room hits close to 80F which is of course moving into the danger zone. I've alway's grown hydro. Soil here always gets infested with root aphids, spider mites, fungus gnats, whiteflies and other vermin.
I've got a 2nd seed if this plant doesn't recover, and that's fine, because I wouldn't mind leaving town for a week or two later this summer, and not having a grow in progress will be less stressful.
And.... hydroisbetter... or at least faster, when done properly.

This is GG4 at 25 days. You can see there is a bit of healthy tap root , which is promising.

""Soil here always gets infested with root aphids, spider mites, fungus gnats, whiteflies and other vermin.""

Understood. Makes me count my blessing.

I grow in hot climates in Australia without aircon and coco is the best compromise there is. Almost the same growth as hydro but more reliable and not as affected by heat. There are a lot of advantages to run-to-waste coco.

I used Coco a couple years back. Good shit.

I'm surprised little Irwin can keep his dick out of it!

I know this isn't the incredible bulk but this gorilla glue 4 deserve some serious p***
Days: who the fuck knows.
I do know, I am an impatient farmer, who usually can't make the 60 day mark. I think this went to 12/12 on 5 26 so....day 52 or something. Unlike many previous grows, this one is not needed as I have it's little sister at 51 days, and still a few grams of SSL from the last run. I have a theory about my root rot. Maybe covid has triggered the ultraviolet radiation of imported shit. I dunno. I cant seem to get a seed to make it past 2 weeks and I'm on beano #5. I always get my bitches up and growing, so I'm really in dismay about this streak of ill luck.

At least the high will be heady...

This is a weird strain . I believe it's due to the environment here in the tropics. I've managed to nurse her back to life by transferring into soil I have cut two clones which already have roots and I will try them in the coco fiber. I germinated the second seed and started it in Coco fiber and the root disintegration is prevalent. I removed most of the coco fiber and some healthy roots are redeveloping. If I don't get more root growth I will also transplant into soil.

Interesting stuff here! Hope you get the bean thing sorted.

I gave up on that Bulk. We had a very cool winter down in the swamp. This provided ideal growing conditions inside. I planted a gelato in November started flower it on jan18. Harrison pics.

sadly I know very little about the strain BUT...............I know what a super nice plant and flowers look like

and that is what you have right there

very nice flowers thank you for the look

all the best and be well

I grow with Gorilla genetics and without Prwns LEDs. Fool proof no meters method developed over a decade through apathetic hydroponics. Perfect PH nutes from Advanced. 2 tsp per gal. She was drinking a half a gallon a day during peak flowering

good to see ya, have missed the photoshop photos.
nice looking plant

Ive been slacking on my threads since "The Incrdible Bulk" fiasco. I thought I had lost my green thumb. Root Rot hell is a deep dark dank landscape, and once you've trudge threw the slime oozing from the rockwool cube, it's not a place you are willing to return. After resurrecting her for the third time, from the death of humidity and high rez temps, by nuturing her in the safe haven of organic potting soil,I wasn't satisfied.

I was in fact, so impressed with my growing skilz< I decided to do the much avoided soil to hydro transplant. ..... Well.... this is when the thread came to an abrupt halt. Hax was waiting for miracles to happen and I was burying IB in the back yard next Sid. Needless to say, I went to some dark places. It was election day, and I was so far down, I almost claimed affiliation with a political party just to feel alive.
The Gelato seed was just a last ditch effort to see if I could get something back up and growing, summer was over and the temps were cooler than ever.

I didn't use any pumps after the roots reached a level of liquid, and this was also to avoid any added heat. pumps when submersed can heat the rez up rather fast, especially a small 2 gall.
I didn't get many pics, but here she is as my little sherbert in early veg. As you can see the lack of Prawns LEDs have little effect on obtaining ample light. The Chinese Cheapies seem to keep the plants very cheerful.

I really suck at photography.

I stole the top cola cuz I'm out of weed & I need some s*** to smoke. Started to flush today at, 14 days in January for 28 in February it was 11 days in March it makes day 53. :Tits: 18 nice looking branches.

Listen.. pretty good s*** I'm pretty stoned.

Looks purty, real nice.

3 oz yield pretty good shit. Couch time indica

very nice

Made some ice water hash with the trim. I got a nice gram and a half ball of good hash I like to put sugar in the wash and drink it like iced tea.

taking a bite out of that hash ball is impressive.
never thought of drinking bubble water.
looking good

I have a hard time feeling the effects of edibles probably because my tolerance is so high. So I can't say that the tea will get you stoned but I can think of no reason why it wouldn't

Its not decarbed.

....and if you cant feel edibles you need to try new edibles....I wake up the next day stoned.

....and nice harvest, hope you keep enough to get you to your next.

yes yes of course!

but this...

ABSOLUTELY


if your smoking all the time
id advise you keeping to 5 or less servings at once

at first...

stocked up a few years back

before gut surgery
no coughing for a good bit of time

lucky i did
and
FUCK if those edibles dont pull a punch...

Brownies are a cliche for a reason... i 'member this one time at work..
