I got the rest of the components to do a live res eventually. I'll probably run it with the ghostrider OG's so I can compare live vs sterile.

The next batch of glue are finally getting their roots grounded, shouldn't be long before they start to get into veg mode. I figure I'll give them 2 or 3 more weeks. Probably 3. And I'll up the floods to every 5 or so hrs. I topped them all today pretty hard so they'll need a bit to recover from the slaughter.

Dude,














The ghostriderV2.0 is insane. It's getting better and better each time I run it, and it was bad fucking ass when I found her from seed if you remember. Remember how it was a bunch of racket ball buds all over the plants? Now it's more colas:hump:
Ur gonna love it
I'll try and remember to snap some pics while at the other pad today. But we're not chopping that room down for another week or so. I'll get a pic for you before chop;-)

Well, I haven't been mentioning this much I don't think, but my gdp in flower have been suffering quite a bit. Long story but here's the short version.

If you follow my thread you'll know I bought an ebb controller on eBay. It was broken in arrival. So I ended up buying one from a local grow shop. This one was garbage (a cap brand) and didn't fill my buckets nearly half way. So I had to make changes and take out all the hydroton in the inner buckets and set the 1 gal smart pots on the bottom leaving no room for roots to grow. Well, I shipped the broken ebb bucket back and got a replacement sent. Took about a month in total to get it. Well that one was broken too! Fml right? So for about a week the gdp were only getting one manual flood that I had to do myself. It sucked.

So fuck online shopping for expensive things. I called EVERYWHERE to find a controller unit that's local. My last call, the shop had the exact one I needed. Hooked it up tonight and it works perfectly!!! And it was only 25$ more than ebay :) back to 4 floods a day and I hope they pull through and do well :) props to green fire!

Glad for your success with Green Fire . Have been trying to find several bags of EB Stone - Recipe 420 and a 4 liter bag of Payroc Giant #4 Pearlite. Found a place in Willits that has both but that would be 3 and half hours each way , so started calling everywhere , Green Fire said they had the Large Chunky Pearlite, two calls to validate it, because 30 miles to say hi isnt fun. Well yesterday wife and I scoot over to Greenfire and what do you know, of course they didn’t have the stuff and knew it. Tomorrow its off to Redding , found two shops that have what I need, one has the Pearlite ( I hope ) and the other has the 420. I dont mind having a difficult time finding stuff but hate being lied to, in hopes I will settle for the cheap stuff.

Damn that sucks hippy. Green fire has some young kids working there that don't seem to know a lot. I know how it is to have to drive and wanting to know if it's in Stock before leaving for the store. Chico is 30 minutes away from me, I almost was going to go to red Bluff which is Hella far, but when I called green fire they said they only have a promotional ebb bucket system they were going to set up in the store.. And it wasn't for sale, but I pleaded with them since it's the exact one I needed and they held it for a day for me so I could buy it. Even gave me 40$ off. I just got major lucky.

Have you tried garden connection in Chico? Redding has a few hydro shops, one of them actually just got robbed at gun point the other day, I can't believe how bad Redding as gotten. Hope you find what you need man, definitely call garden connection if you haven't, their store is huge and usually has everything

Called every hydro , Ag and Garden store in most of the three counties, finally found the soil @ Big Daddy Garden and the Pearlite at the Bare Root Hydro ( I think that’s the one that got robbed), will of course call one more time before going.

Dang, well if you find them and have to drive far you should definitely stock up on as much as you can so you won't have to take another trip for awhile. I would have thought every hydro shop would have chunky perlite, I mean a lot of people use that stuff. I figured for my ebb controller unit that not many stores would have one, not a lot of people use them and they are Hella expensive to just have sitting around, so I understand that, but perlite, that just blows my mind

Also, perlite is Hella light, so you could always order than online. Wouldn't have to worry about it being broken when it arrives at least lol. The soil would be expensive to ship though, but I've ordered 50lb bags of hydroton online and sometimes you can find good deals. If you have amazon prime, then it might be just as cheap since you get free two day shipping on most stuff, totally would save ya a drive 8-)

This helped some but so many of the local shops have closed over the last year. Tried Amazon -- $56 vs. 20 (although gas and time probably equal that), the perlite is light but very bulky, sometimes you just have to bite the bullet when you find something that seems to work for you. Ill let you know how it goes.

Well, I was going to get pics of the flower room tonight, but it's pouring rain so I'll do that tomorrow lol

Here's the gg4/spog91/kushberry vegging at 2 weeks in. There's a few that are not up to par but I'm hoping for them to pull through.

From now on I will not be reusing hydroton, only for the simple fact that I need to eliminate problematic factors. Once I pin point the problems I've been having I can slowly introduce other things and see what the effects are. Will be using hydroton only, no more plantit clay pebbles.

I went ahead and started using the bennies as well.

Here is the ghostrider OG v2 I'll be getting clones next weekend and they will take over the ebb buckets when I harvest the gdp, mendo breath and atomic nl.

Thanks yall :)

I was able to get out to the flower room and snap a few pics. We're finally getting some rain here and as much as I hate it, we really need it so that's a good thing. Power flickered a couple times and we got some light hail, but power stayed on :)

Chopping these down in a day or two.

Glue @ 9 full weeks
