Deal! Lol. I gave it a try and had one of those moments where it starts kicking in and you go to pick up the bowl again for another hit but think to yourself, "shit, I better not take another" then pass out 5 minutes later lol. It's some good shit!


Right on, I'll try it by the TV next, that sounds like it'll pass the time easier. Liquid hash! Woops! Lol, hash can get so damn messy lol


Yeah, just no smell really at all, it's so faint I can't even tell what it smells like :( I need that dank open up the bag and it burns your nose smell lol. I figure if I'm going to have anything OG, it definitely needs the OG smell. It's unfortunate :(

Well I decided I'm 95% sure I'll keep the glue sog. They're growing out of the funk somehow. They always seem to like flower, it's the veg that's the issue. Maybe they just like the 50/50 veg/bloom nutes I give in flower, hmm? Anyway, they already grew a couple of inches, won't be the best grow but it'll be better than not having the light on for a while.

Now the next batch I wanted to put in the ebb buckets, they aren't so hot. There's 9 that are sort of on track, nice white healthy roots from the new flood schedule, but that's not enough plants for 2 lights, so I'll have to do 9 under 1 light and figure something else out for the other light.

Problem is, this flood schedule is fucking up my Spog91. They need way more nutes and I can't give it to them, they also need more floods which I can't give them smh. Over it! I'm gonna throw away the other 7 glue today so once the 9 good ones are ready I won't have any glue to worry about and I can get back to flood and drain with out the issues.

If you look all the way back to page 10 of my journal, that is when I first got the glue. You'll see the exact same shit looking hydro glues as I'm dealing with today. It's been a rough road with these but it's finally almost over lmao. You'll also see every single other plant I've grown in hydro had virtually no issues other than some minor hiccups.

Glue does not like hydro :( :finger:

I see what you mean bro, the glue seems like a right bitch to grow in hydro! Very strange that it doesn't respond to it at all. Ah well man, you'll rock out those new clones :-D

I do use protekt MO, (love that stuff!) she's just a ridiculously hard plant to figure out in hydro for some reason, in soil it makes you feel like a pro though :) she never locks out or grows weird in soil, my soil glue that's about 8 weeks into flower is so damn frosty it's crazy, definitely less yield, but she was so happy from start to finish :)

I think I figured out a way to do suspended roots in my flood tray to veg for my ebb buckets!! I'm so excited, I'll be getting the supplies to try it out for the next batch of clones.

4" pvc and 4" net pots. I'll drill some small holes in the bottom of the pvc pipe, cut the pipe to 7" so that the bottom of the net pot sits 4" off of the tray and done! I think it'll work and keep roots from tangling so I can transplant easily. I've been pondering how to do this for a year now and this is what I came up with. It'll also be able to fit so many more plants in a tray to veg than before. I'll still use the 1 gallon mesh bottom pots for the flood tray, but I've been wanting to do suspended roots in my buckets again all year so I'm so stoked to try this!!

Similar to this pic, but 4", this one is 6" I picked up for a project that I never used but it gave me the idea. I would use 6" but it's so expensive so I'll start with 4" and if it works well, then I'll upgrade :)

Thanks bro :) I'm actually going to not go with pvc because I just made the one and only alpha prototype with gear I had around the house, and this will be perfect I think! This could be some ground breaking engineering :D I mean, not really ground breaking but truly one of a kind engineering 8-) can not wait to put a cut in there and see how it works :hump:

Thanks man :)

I just ordered some pond zyme and hydroguard. I'll be switching to a beneficial res at my next res Change. I've been getting some algae and some funky colors in my res water in the veg room lately. It hasn't been affecting the plants, but I don't like it and my usual dose of h2o2 and pool shock just seem to kill stuff and then my res changes colors, which is, well, gross.

So I figure why not finally give the bennies a try, right? They will kill the bad stuff AND eat those fuckers instead of just leaving them floating in my water lol. I figure that it will also eat dead roots, funky stuff in the tubing and pumps and tray. Win win so it sounds, so I will let everyone know how it works, from all the info I've gathered this year about bennies in hydro, it sounds good to me and I like changing things up 8-)

Right on brother :)

Well I'm 8 full weeks into flower with these gals. Another week or so should do it.

Heres the gdp at 2 weeks in. Not sure how the Atomic nl or mendo breath will do, they needed much longer veg because the gdp kind of took over.

Here's the glue sog, not quite to the canopy, I don't think it'll reach the 2nd, but they are 1 week in and growing upwards at least lol. I have changed the flood cycles to 3x a day, every 6 hrs lights on. Hoping the don't hate it, the new roots that are growing are nice and healthy so we will see what happens.

Oh, here's the next batch of glue for the ebb buckets. I've thrown out the runts and have 14 total (3 are spog91), I'll probably flower 12 with 2 Spog91. The Spog will be epic in hydro because she is pretty epic in soil bring the farthest from the light on the side that had a bad bulb. She just is beauty :) I have upped the floods to 5x a day because the Spog was hating the gg4 cycles. One locked out completely and turned yellow :(

Will be doing Ghostrider OG when the gdp are done they will take over the buckets. Just waiting on cuts.


Then next will be the klp I believe if I can get them in time 8-)
