Blue Dream & Church Valley Kush With EBB & Grow Along with Lucas Formula

Ok, well I might hold off on the BC for now only because I constantly watch my ph and everything so I don't think I'll have a big problem with that. I think I'll still veg with the rest of my GH supplies until their out though, but on my next run I'll be running Sensi Bloom. Like I said before I prefer my own veg method then having to buy the Sensi Grow.

Ok, so I wanted to just throw up a new little update. I will be trying out the tea method to help get rid of my brown slime versus using H202. It's not that I don't like using H202, its just it seems just a little to inefficient in it's ability to keep the slime down. My plant's are close to being 2 weeks deep in flower, and they are slowing pushing up what appears to be the first little pre-flowers, which I'm super excited for. From what I heard though, this tea will allow them to uptake more nutes, and grow a better root structure and come back from this horrible slime.

Just rememmber insane when you add the tea it will seem to get worse but over a weeks time it will get better!
And the tea dont clear up slime that atached to your root you must wash that stuff off! You will know its working when
You see new whit roots

Ok, I'll go head and make sure I take care of everything. I'll be sure to post up some pictures too since I haven't been able to see too many people brewin their tea. I saw an image of yours though HR. I heard that after about 2 days or so the plants will start to use a buttload more nutes and water too.

Yep they will, and in a ebb those roots get crazy gotta watch the fill drain hole as the roots will grow into it and clog it,
Get in a habit of spinning the inner sleeve every few day it will pull that root mass out

Ohh shyt lol Im excited. I don't care if it's extra work I really wanna see if this is the cure. I've been working on this since I've gotten the system. H202 Manages it quite well. But for 60$ of supplies that will last me over a year, versus h202 which cost 35$ a gallon. I think we all know the obvious choice to that one lol. Here are some pictures, I would have thrown in more air pumps but I only have 2 left but i threw in some large air stones with a larger pump so I think it will make up for the lack of extra airstones.

I hope I don't have to point anything out lol.
Any tips, questions, comments?

Those look good bro and your geting a good jump on the slime its not to bad yet! Get those air stones on the bottom of
The bucket and it help to have so much air the water is looking like a hot tube with the jets running

I'll see what I can do about getting another air pump in that, right I'm using a circular airstone about the same size as a 4 in pvc pipe i would say, then another stick airstone which is about 7 inches long. I'll see if I can get another one of the sticks in there and another hose too. It's crazy, its been about 3 hours of bubbling and theres some nice foam built up. Looks like its workin.

Run it through a fine mesh screen before you add to the res

Ok, i got some bubble bags that I like to use. I'll just run it threw the 220 mesh before anything. I'll be adding 2 gallons of it on friday during my resi change so I'll have another 3 gallons sitting in my fridge lol. From my understanding, you just add your nutes in as you would normally, then just add the tea last. Then balance ph and your set. I've also read that it doesnt affect your ppms?
-I.MJ

Yep that order of adding is right

Nice grow you got going there Insane

Thanks Elwood, I'm trying to get my buddy over here to take some REAL pictures with his camera. Right now the Blue Dreams are between 28 and 31 inches tall, and the churches are actually in the same place lol. Their making good progress but its really evident now that their taking up more water then they are nutrients, I think from the slime. I will give them a good thorough rinse with a light strength amount of h202 to hopefully do some damage to the slime, then I need to clean all the buckets and lines, change the resi. And add the new batch of nutes and bennys to the clean resi. hopefully the girls will love me for the tea addition, if so I owe HR a nice fat nug

Ok, so I was starting to get a little nervous on the blue dream clones with the MX gel, the OG grower of this strain only uses CloneX gel with this strain and he gets roots within 5 days always he says. Well today is number 7 I'm pretty sure, and I'm just barely poppin out roots on like 1 out of 24 cuts. Hell, the Church valley I cut 3 days later and I'm already getting roots on thoses 7 out of 16. I think next time I'll try it with CloneX with this particular strain and see if it's any faster. The church's though are crazy I could probably just cut it and just stick in the rapid rooters and still get those beasts to root lol. Strongest strain I've ever come across. On a good note though, not one looks wilted, yellow, or plain out shitty lol. Well except for the Larry OG's I don't think those are gonna be easy. :/
At this point though, I don't mind waiting an extra 3-4 days. I got like 6-7 weeks to vegs these guys so I'm not worried.

Ohh also I harvested one of my Blue Dream plants from outdoors, and it had seeds, I'm almost 100% sure that the Male Larry OG cross polinated it.

Ok, so today I'm doing an extreme clean. I've been cleaning all the slime out of all the tubing, buckets, roots, controller bucket, and resi. It sticks pretty good in there so it takes alot of time and hot water.

This is also Day 1 of week 3 I'll run with liquid koolbloom at 12 mlpg this week instead of running moab, only because I wanna make sure this tea does it's job and I won't have to do a resi change. If I do have to do a resi change, then I wont be wasting the Moab cause it's alittle pricy. But hey, there's a reason why people experiment. lol
I'll post some pictures as soon as I'm done adding in the nutes and tea into the resi. Been at it for close to 3 hours now.. Shouldn't be too much longer now.
-I.MJ

Ok, so after spending roughly 5 to 6 hours doing a very deep clean on all the buckets, lines, and roots, changin the resi.. I'm proud to say I'm done lol. I just added the 2 gallons of benny's to the batch, and threw the rest in the fridge with a lable. Their looking very beautiful, popping out hairs and preflowers, and no signs of deff. I hope the tea will allow them to soak up more nutes and water. Hopefully adding on to the existing root structure as well.

Normally I add Nirvana from AN to the resi at this week, I have a slight suspicion that the Nirvana is going to be a lot like the tea that I brewed. I've been reading on it, and allows your plant to uptake more nutrients. Now the tea should allow for more production of roots, which in turn will eventually do the same thing? Any ideas?
Also I'm wondering if I should still put it in with the tea?

If you read hiesinberg tea thread he says all AN products like nirvana, pirania, triranchula, voodoo will
Cause a major bactiria outbreak in a negative way

I read the first 5 pages, I'll try to read as much as I can right now and see what I come up with.
