To be completely honest with you, my entire life got turned upside down. The now ex fiance was fucking what used to be my best friend. And my entire world got turned upside down. So currently I'm not even growing anything. I lost all my genetics, all my beans, I mean everything. And I'm actually focusing on running a small hotshot business at the moment and literally living on the road. I drive cross country about 6 days a week.
So haven't really settled back down yet to pick up on growing again. But I will one day.

But the last time I was experimenting I believe I was playing around with air stones in the bottom of sips. And I can say for sure. They make a huge difference. Even faster growth.

Sorry I haven't been on in quite some time. Life kinda got in the way. And to be honest I've kinda lost my way recently. So I apologize if it takes me a while to answer any questions. But I'd like to say atleast 90% or better of everything i know, I tried to list in this thread. Thats actually why I did it to give back
Sorry to hear the troubles man! Thanks for confirming the airstones! Crazy time to be in the trucking/logistics game for sure.

OMG your back. Hope your doing well, learned lots from u btw.
I should started my original post with a HUGE THANK YOU to @Greenthumbs256 Your initial write up took some time and really did cover everything. This method was a complete game changer for me and it is because of you. My whole room is running this method and i don't think I would have found it or had the nerves to try it without your thoroughness. Sorry for not showing proper respect at first.

I’m completely sold on this method! Thank you @Greenthumbs256 for creating this and showing us the way.
i wanted to ask everyone here about your thoughts on using probiotics with SIPs to restore old clones. Kevin Jodrey has a video with Alan Adkission where he talks about keeping his mom in Earthboxes and also how he was able to watch them revitalize themselves using probiotics/SIPs.
I was thinking about making a small SIP for a 25+ year old clone I have to see if I could bring back it’s full expression. It’s not a dud, but I think it’s a bit tired.
I’d love to hear anyones thoughts on this
here is the video-

I am also trying this out. Im going to try get by with a 5 gallon but may end up needing to go larger.
Question on this. The bag I bought (horse feed) is Rice Bran and Calcium Carbonite. I figured the extra C couldn't hurt but am I wrong? Should I not use it?
I think my last topdress may have been a little thin. Do you think i could do another topdress at week five and get any benefit or too risky this far in? @Greenthumbs256 @CrunchBerries

Ooof here we go again lol
Oh come on man, your not even sipping anymore lol. Its not a major situation, im just picky and think this one could have looked a little better so figured it was worth throwing out there. Risky wasn't the right word more would it be a waste of top dress supplies. Im cheap lol Since you've turned to the darkside, do you think youll ever return or are you liking the bed?

I don't think I will ever go back the bed (aside from shoveling all that damn soil) is incredibly easy! And check out these results!

I say do it, what strain are you growing? I watched a video by Brandon Rust and he talked about the plant having enough nutrients to go into senescence and end. I know this is is pure anecdotal but my last grow I wish I would have top dressed it around week 5. If your soil is really active I think it will process the top dress much quicker, especially if you have worms.
Im leaning this way also. My last round went perfect, this one is just a bit lighter green than last round and had a few spots to it. First strain was blueberries and oranges. This one is Chocolate Diesel

Are you concerned it will burn or take things off kilter?

Hey bud,
Sorry I don’t really check in over here that often anymore. I say yes to topdressing! They are done with stretch and are hungry!
I think i was more concerned it would take too long to break down and wouldn't add any benefit
