Thanks bro :) I'm stoked to be getting close to a harvest, it's creeping up quickly! I guess im more happy to be getting plants back in true hydro after harvest, but here's the kicker, I'll be converting my mama plants to soil, or promix, not sure yet, but some sort of dirt. Too much to keep mama's in hydro at this point and soil would give me a lot of wiggle room. I know I had trouble at my last house with promix, but I think I figured out the problem.. Because I used to do well in soil and promix. I started direct planting in big pots, causing over watering. I left my small 4x4 pots and 1 gals at the house I lived 2 places ago and only had my 3 gallons. I've always started in 4x4 then to 1 gal then to 3 gal and never had an issue, so that's the only thing I changed and failed miserable. So I'm going to go back to my soil routine for the mama's and should be good to go!

Glue grow is going OK. Have something funky going on here and not sure what it is but the buds are forming just fine. 30 days into flower. I think I have fixed the funky issue (overwatering or cal/mag, not sure)

I'll see if there is anything worthwhile in these babies next flower cycle.


Gdp is on beast mode so I had to top them. Fast growing little shits, can't wait to sog them

That's wild, I think it might be a Kush trait but not sure. A long time ago I had a Kush do the same thing and it never grew out of it, lots of 6 bladed and 8 blades leaves

I might have to grow the gg4 one more time, it's killer stuff don't get me wrong but sooooo many people are vending it so it's time to start something new soon before the market gets saturated. I want to do the hb in place of it but im not sure if it'll finish in time for my needs :( the buds are massive but airy, it has about 2.5 weeks to fill in, if it doesn't I can't run it, 10 wks is my limit

I'm having an issue with my glue run indoor, I'm not sure what's going on but it's not affected the buds, just the leaves :( I put up a thread on ic mag about it but no bites. It's strange, here's the link to the thread if anyone can figure it out I'd be a happy camper

Unfortunately yeah, it's because of crossing borders and mail service is federal which mj is still illegal. It sucks, I know. Every state that it passes in the mail is a felony which is outrageous. I hear ya about club cuts, they all do suck and usually aren't even the real deal. There is only 1 club I know is legit in my area and it's like 2 hours away. Best bet is to use choice seed bank or attitude seed bank online. There are some awesome seeds and it might take a while to find a keeper, but when you do it'll be better than any clone only 'popular' crap.

Check out karma genetics, exotic genetics and dynasty genetics. They are the bomb.

Thanks bro I appreciate you taking the time to write me back I have ordered some seeds from attitude seeds and they are good. But sometimes the height runs threw my mind....... Are these really the genetics or just a fake????
No problem at all man! All the seeds from attitude are totally legit, no worries at all. Just go with a reputable breeder and don't get something because the picture looks good (I've learned the hard way doing that lol). With the girl scout cookies and awesome og crosses out now, there are so many nice choices that you cant really go wrong with. DNA genetics is pretty good too. As papapayne said, breeders boutique are pretty good as well from what I hear, I'm waiting for them to release the fireball strain. I ordered from them earlier this year and they have cheap prices and fast shipping. The only problem is the smaller selection of strains and I'm an og strain buff and they Don't really have ogs, but I want to try the sour cherry from them

Chemalope is dry. Looks good and has a awesome high! Smells fruity but with some fuel like undertones, I threw out the mama cuz I wanted chemy not so much fruit.

I'll be chopping the glue and clue this week, it looks Ike the clue just might yield a bit more but we'll see. The buds are definitely bigger and more frost and I like the smell alot more. I'll be doing 1 more run of glue but with a clue in there as well and I'll train them equally to see if the clue will take over. There's a really good chance but it's hard to tell now since I didn't top anything in the tray this run.

I've transplanted the gdp into 1 gallon smart pots filled with hydroton. I finally got to the bottom of the rw problem. It was as simple as a timer. My timers are for hydroton and cycle for 15 minutes. People are saying you can flood rw for 15 minutes, but no one has my ebb systems and I use a cover with suspended pots, so I'm guessing there's a ton of humidity not allowing the rw to dry out as fast as hydroton does. My buddy hooked me up with a timer that cycles by the minute and over night brand new roots shot out and all gdp and rocking out now :) I'm gonna go back to hydroton for a while but I will give the mini cubes another try sometime, I love the way they start plants and now that I know how to water them in my system after fully rooting, it may be a nice thing.

Oh, and a huge surprise, the glue in flower are starting to get better! Manual floods, less floods, lower flood level, raised the light, added my calmag ratio that always worked. Not sure what helped, but they are eating nutes again! No more ppm spikes and drinking Hella lot of water, so i think they'll turn out fine, even though they are now ugly lol

Well that's all folks :)

Thanks bro, I've had so many issues lately it was starting to drive me crazy lol

I hear ya with the keepers, it's tough out there bro, I'm down to just gdp, gg4, clue for mama's, and have the purple og 18, Kushberry, cherry puff and the spb x Chem next up to check out. It's tough throwing out strains, but even though alot weren't keepers, it'll be nice to have a variety head stash

Here's a lower bud on the clue, she's really something special
