hall of fame game...not quite football but it's getting close!

you know it's funny rr, i've known you and josey for quite a while and I've only seen pics...yet I take both of your words on everything...just a level of respect. I would never even consider asking to see a thing...hell I've got family in oakland that do the thing as well and they know that I do, haven't ever seen their room either...I won't ask, if they want me to see it they will invite me in thats how I feel, the only person that asked me to see my room that I've actually shown is my grandma lol

at the end of the day I just don't mess with people that are of questionable integrity or that i don't know...if I didn't know good people than i'd consider $200 bones for some potentially game changing genetics a steal, regardless if paul and steve got that mutha for free....and sometimes you gotta put your money where your mouth is and roll the dice, shit I know I spent a butt load running all over la trying to get my hands on a good og, ran through more fakes than I can count.

Not sure where all this talk of her being a light feeder is coming from. I feed the Glue at 1.9-2.2 EC everytime and never get any tip burn or anything... just nice plump dense buds!! :tiphat:

That would be coming from me

You will get the same nice dense plump buds with 1.0-1.3ec. More is just not necessary.. I ran high ec# just like you are. As I finished ea run they got better as the EC levels got lower. You can continue to use HIGH EC levels.. I'm pointing out what I found trying to help others. When TC started to use the same EC levels he also noticed a good improvement.

Probably the worst one of the three I'd gotten so far so I thought it'd be best to put it in the most complete (because we never REALLY finish) room. No bottles, just a soil mix I got on a sample at the shop today. Numbers are a little high for my taste but we'll see how it goes. It's a custom mix, several different sources of the macros.. I'm assuming for their bioavailability/"digestion" rate.

Will post pictures and progress of the other 2 when I visit those rooms.

Curious and excited to see how these compare with the cuts I've arranged from the West Coast. Very, very excited. Props to the breeders, as always.

Here's a photo of the soil mix in the red cup. I intend to switch fully into promix or sunshine when it's time. It's made in Rothbury, Mi which is a sweet town if you haven't been there. I'm also a huge fan of locally produced anything and I'll always at least give it a fair shake and see how it does vs. Other things. Ill probably fill a pot with the mix for something I'm much more familiar with and test to see if it truly is "just add water" for the life of the plant.

Shit bro. You got a standing invite anytime you wanta swing by. Known you long enough to know what's up. You know how it is. New people get known, vetted, then if things seem right things progress from there.

Thats a decent idea to premix the amendments into some peat, soil or whatever it is.

Im using a MI made premix too... but mine was a bag of amendments and was a bitchhh to mix up lol. But its showin its more than worth it. My plants couldnt look much better, and im excited to see how the taste is with organics that i know is pure.

Lookin good bro. She's gonna jump on ya.
Alright here we go. 5 days into flower an it's just blowing up like crazy in there.

Here's one of the GG4s. Pulled her so you could actually see her. Shes measuring 19" at the highest top.

And here's everyone. Closest 4 are the glues.

So I tried pretty hard not to over veg these. But they sneak up on ya quick if they veg under the 1k(@400w) for a few days.

My tents roughly 6ft and the light takes about another foot n a half.

Are you typically an organic grower? Did you just switch? Are you just trying it out for the gg4?

Those prebagged nutes mixed are a good product actually I don't know where you got yours but I've seen someone showing some off it was maybe frank. I thought it looked good. I had wished someone was selling those when I was doing out door.if you select em right you could probably do really well recycling and reammeding

Well I started growing in FFOF which always worked great. Never had any issues really, but knew things could be even better. Got to talkin with Frank and he let me in on the organic side of life, and i probably wont ever look back :smoke:.

I should do a side by side. I want to move back towards organics this next year and see where I can take it indoor.

I'd be interested in the results. I had done this, however it was very early on in my career and I'm sure it would be MUCH different nowadays. Though ill have to say, so long as mineral based is done right and flushed properly it tastes every bit as good as any organic I've had. Though that could just as easily be a symptom of not having the right quality organically produced ganj.

HA! You just blew my mind all the way back to the beginning. I had all but completely forgotten id started in it too. A testament to the quality of what I've got now since what was around then!

Yeah and the recycling parts nice.

Its the best overall medium imo. The only thing that sucks is amending huge amounts of soil and then waiting 30+ days for it be ready lol.

But at the same making your own soil from scratch is pretty cool though.

Anyone have any proven methods to slow down the stretch on these without affecting the plants yeild, and quality too much?
dud you should read sureshot66 thread. its titles adjustawing kit but it goes into a ton of good info. he uses fasilitor and swears it slows the stretch and makes budset happen days sooner. hes posted pics of his gg4 at 12 days and they look like day 16-18 to me. he swears its the fasilitor. im tempted to try it.
either way its a great thread. him and whatthe215 drop a lot of good grow info on there.https://www.icmag.com/ic/showthread.php?t=277250&page=7
you should rep that dude while youre there hes legit and has tons of good info. i dont know why he isnt getting more attention for that thread. ive used it to turn my set up to 11.

Shit frank knows his dirt as good as ne one i pulled that idea out my ass... if height is n issue caress her a bit to soften her up then snap her neck.. i had to do that to numerous tops n they turned out fine...
Deez lookin killer as always take her atleast 70 try for 75...
I use moab from wk 5 6 7 8 i start off by cutting my base in half add moab at 1.5tsp per gallon adding more base everytime i mix till im back at full strength. Then up the moab to 2 tsp... some ppl feed light some dont it depends on ur plants.... i had mine up to. 2.0 ish. Maybe higher i dont check ec or ppms often... im not gonna say my yield few ppl.here saw what i just got id say feed her as much as she can take.... u be more then happy....
