Hell yeah! That's the only way to do it! God I hate trimming lol. I have some gdp about to come down in a week and not looking forward to it :( it should be more manageable since I did a sog with small plants, but still, blah

Another thing I just realized I don't like too much is staking, man, it's harder than it looks! It makes me appreciate indica Dom varieties a little bit more for their ease of growing lol

How's your glue coming along? How tall do you flower at and how tall are they by harvest?

I'm running super lemon haze. They don't stretch that bad and they finish under 9 weeks. I cloned for 2 weeks and I'll veg for 3 weeks (Sunday I flip to 12/12) I think they are about 8-10 inches long.

Right on, awesome! I'd love to fire up an aero system again, I could never get mine to work properly so I ended to switching to f&d a while back. I've heard a lot of good stuff about the super lemon haze, I think you're going to love it. With a short flower time for a haze, you can't go wrong there! Definitely keep me posted on that for sure

Very nice alpha, looks nice and clean and most importantly done right. Glad to know @Aeroknow helping you out with cuttings too

28 days flower - running 1050ppm of maxibloom, peotekt, calmag and Epsom. The stretch is over and buds are starting to fill in, but damn after seeing some DE glue buds at 4 weeks, I'll be switching to DE as soon as I can lol. But all in all, they are as healthy as can be for their environment :) not much more to report.

If anyone has any questions feel free to ask

Just stumbled across this grow. Very nice job @AlphaPhase. I've always wanted to so a little ebb and flow. Could never decide on a table or buckets. I'm liking how clean the buckets are and the extra height you get as well. Beautiful grow! Do you ever have problems with ph drift in your res running protekt?

Thank you! I love the ebb buckets, I've only grown with them for a couple years, I used to use flood trays, but like you said, the extra height you get with the buckets is great.

I do not get too much ph drift using Protekt, though when it's first added it will cause your ph to rise quite a bit, but after a fresh reservoir is mixed (with some protekt) 2-3 days later it becomes very stable, it's just the rapid rise after doing a res change that is the main culprit. But I like my ph to swing from 5.2-6.0 so it's ok. I was trying to keep the ph between 5.6-6.0, but I feel there is quite a bit of nutrients that are more available at a lower ph.

I'm going to have to give it a shot. The Growth rate is incredible!

Starting Week 6 day 35, 1/2 way through flower.

Feeding between 1000-1200ppm.

Will be doing a Sea of Green with the glue with this batch. They are 1 day since transplant out of the cloner. There are 23 of them. I'll be doing ebb and flow tray with a trellis. This is the tray they will go into in about 10 days.

Your sea of green set up was this hand built yourself? Looking good. How long did you or how long are you going to veg before flipping them to 12/12?

Yeah, it's my design. I started building these from scratch years ago for custom rooms/ tents and such, and it'd finally morphed into this. It's nice being able to use a tray that I didn't have to build myself though lol.

Parts needed -
-Small eye hooks $3
-28' pvc 3/4" pipe $6
-4 3way 3/4" Pvc elbows $6
-4x4od tray $80
-Res of your choice (this one is a horse trough and I got the idea from aeroknow. They work great) $40
-4x4-5x5 secret Jardin trellis $15
-4x4 1" thick foam insulation board $5
-24 6" mesh bottom pots $20

And a couple hours of time. The hard part is cutting out the holes for the pots to go in. iused a knife but a 6" (maybe 6.5") hole saw would have made it much easier.

I decided to top the 8 tallest clones. They are already 10" tall. I figure the shorter ones (smallest is 7") have the same amount of nodes, just packed closer together, so they should have a chance to even out the canopy and catch up.

It sucks because no one really has any info about a Sea of Green with glue, other than 16ct per tray.

I'm just playing it by ear. I can't find anything about how the glue flowers untopped at 10" either, so I guess this will be the glue sog bible for the future.

I know 12/12 will be coming soon. I had no shock from the transplant and they are just growing like beasts (guess the dud/sickness is finally gone for now). Even the batch of glue iI currently have in flower had a shit start from shitty clones and aren't up to par but they are doing much better anyway. this is the first batch that is actually growing like they should, so we will see what happens.
