I'm glad that this post came back to the top, because i am running a new set of MassP coco buckets. The first run i SEVERELY burned b/c i was still feeding the nute amended soil. This go around, i kept the amendments the same, except now i i have only feed once, when i first put them in the coco buckets, with EWC tea w/ liquid Karma and Molasses. Since then, i have just been feeding Plain tap water that has been left out with LK and molasses. This seems to be doing the trick...i have nice green leaves, and 6 overall healthy plants. I'll get some pics off of the came and post them up of the girls in the flower room. They really exploded thru the stretch, and now i have a feaking jungle in my closet. I can't even fit in there anymore...i have to lay outside the closet and reach under the canopy just to water them :holysheep:. I've also hade to tie all of them down b/c they were shooting up so fast. Just wanted to give an update, as well as my $.02 about the MassP buckets.

Whats up guys...sorry i haven't gotten any pics up yet. I actually ran into a sort of problem. I'm running 2 indica dominate and 3 sativa dominate (bag seeds) and 2 of the 3 sats are going thru some type of problem. I tried to diagnose, and i thought it was a K deficiency, and tried to feed a pretty good flowering nute tea...and the problem didn't seem to get better, and actually may have gotten worse. I promise to post some pics up a lil later tonight when the lights come on, and maybe yall could give me some input as to whats going on.

OTOH, the indica doms are doing GREAT. They are 5 weeks into flowering, and haven't dropped any leaves, or had any problems as of yet. so we'll see.

I have made my first seed purchase (mandala satori, speed queen, 8 mile high) and plan on running 2 of each strain. Of each strain, i plan on running one MassP bucket and one DWC bucket to see whats really what whith these buckets. I'm also doing it to see if there is really a difference to organically grown bud vs. hydro buds. I'm starting to germ tonight, so hopefully they will be ready to put into the rapid rooter plugs on the 1st of March. Wish me luck :hubba:

Here are some pics of the entire closet (5 MassP buckets) and then some shots of one of the sat. dominate plants i was talking about earlier that is showing some signs of sickness. I'm not sure what it is, but from what i've read it looks to be either manganese, or K issues. Maybe someone here can tell.

And before the questions start...i have no clue what the ph of the run off is, and this is not because i'm lazy, rather its because of my understanding that ph isn't an issue with these buckets. So i havent checked my ph since starting this grow. I thoroughly washed the coco before use, so i'm pretty sure that's not the issue. I've been mostly feeding straight water with liquid karma and black strap molasses, with ONLY ONE feeding of a flowering nute tea (EWC, high P guano, peruvian seabird guano [high p and k], kelp, liquid karma and blackstrap molasses). Any suggestions would be appreciated.

hey solarz...massman and or docfish should be along shortly. They have helped me greatly...I am new to these as well but dont mess with my ph on these either..i have my second one in flower and just transplanted a Purplebud in another mass bucket..i too am running a DWC with these but mostly organic soil..you will have to check the BHC thread to see my DWC..it is a freak..lol.


Please take a :bong: the Doctor will be right with you

 

[solarz]

4u2smoke,
what is the BHC thread...where is it located?

I'm going to finish these 5 out that i have in flower now, which are a few days short of 6 weeks. After that i'm going to run 5 gal dwc buckets, with 2 liter MassP buckets...to see if there really is a noticeable difference in organics and hydro.

[solarz]
