I don't have too much experience with enzyme products, Deoxy.
Rhizotonic is supposedly made from seaweed, and i dont think the manufacturer says what hygrozyme is made of, but could it be made from barley? Does it smell like barley?
Had a bottle of Sensizyme that i bought from a dude who sold me all of his Advanced Nutrients products, used it here and there, didn't notice much of a difference, then again maybe i wasnt using it properly.

This is an interesting thread of using pond cleaner enzymes from the aquarium store as a super cheap enzyme alternative to grow store enzyme products. Maybe it keeps things cleaner, and enables you to reuse your coco better...
Btw, the plants don't look bad at all, and your space is huge.

Lilj, does the thin mint GSC cut smell and taste minty? Chocolately?
Are there strains that smell minty? Never came across one...

Farmdale, have you made any crosses with the Grapefruit diesel? Just in case SHTF, might be nice to have those genetics saved in some form...

Those are some monster plants, Inmi. Are those 7 or 10 gallon smartpots? Is that an automatic trimmer next to them? Always wanted one of those. Never liked trimming, didn't have the patience for it, lol.

The room's looking good, lemon. For cooling the bulb, putting a fan underneath, pointing up at the bulb will help keep canopy temps in check and prevent light burn, if that could be an issue later on. Which it was for me, my last run...

Ya im going to use a fan later under the light booey but for now the wall fan i got up does good with only the one light now.But im going to get atleast 1 more light in that room so i know then it might be a issue.

Thanks baba!.. yea I had originally gotten the hygrozyme to break down dead roots from the aphid damage and hopefully to condition the soil but I'm already seeing incompatibilities between rhizo and hygro when used on same feed.. also the damage has become more apparent from the ahpids with the continued assault on them with the weak imid solution drench.

Lol the room is deff. huge.. I plan on breaking out of the small 8sqf tent for flowering soon and either converting it to be used as a veg tent or mother/clone area or both under a H/O T5 system and setting up an area w/ a couple 600watters outside of it for flower and doing a perpetual type of setup.. only thing I'm having difficulties with is figuring out a secure way of hanging lights WITHOUT damaging the walls with holes and such.. maybe a stand type of setup?

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

And Good morning to ya Hbj!:tiphat:..I swear I'm not a morning person.. I tell ppl not to speak to me and just leave me the hell alone for 10-15 mins after I get up cuz I'm liable to snap on ppl.. those roosters would of been shot by now if they were in my yard in the 'burbs waking me up LOL.. bad enough we have assholes around here who mow their lawns at like 3-4am.

Wow, that's a slow rooter. What's your cloning method, Abita? Is it a slow vegger, too? Did you mean cherry bomb instead of clone bomb?

A perpetual setup sounds good if you've got the room, Deoxy, but sometimes I think it could be more trouble than necessary; there's benefits to harvesting everything at once. Get to clean more thoroughly in between runs, have a more even canopy, etc. But whatever works for you, growers love to tweak their setups.
People in your neighborhood mow their lawns at 3am? Got a lot of tweakers in your area, then? Cause I can't think of a normal person who would MOW THEIR LAWN IN THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT. Lol...

Haha.. yea It must b something because I still don't understand how they can even see what they are cutting very well @ that hour.. I bet their houses are spotless if they are tweakers tho:laughing:.. or maybe their vampires? - twatlight style.

As far as the perpetual thing.. your right it deff. is more problems at times than anything.. I usually end up doing just a single run @ a time.. so that way I can clean very well and bomb the room.. + in the summer I tend to run nothing till it starts to cool down again.. easier and cheaper to warm a grow then cool it off.. either way I just want to expand 1 more light.. I think 2 600watters would serve me well :biggrin:

Been smoken globs of sgk all weekend on everything.I just love the killer slow burn that oil gives to blunts, bowls and joints.

no cherry bomb, clone bomb is just the handle I gave the cuts while they rooted. #2 was the LouieXIII OG :dance013:

sour grape double krush, sounds good to me lemon.

just some purple urk x 97 bubblegum, looks fire, yields incredibly poor. Im hoping now the inclusion of c99 in making a bx will help increase future yield potential.
