I second the pea gravel recommendation, super cheap and I assume since it is a rock you’re getting some sort of mineral bonus over time from it. Being on the east coast pumice is way to expensive for me to use.

Dude seriously, the shipping for pumice is double the price, I end up paying $42 for a cubic foot from KISorganics. I’m going to hit up some places tomorrow.

look for crushed scoria (red lava rock). that should be super cheap. the only thing i dont like about pea gravel is that its not porous, which means its dense, and won't provide environments for microbes to live or lighten up your mix. plus its likely got a very low CEC value (i'm making an assumption), whereas pumice and scoria both have great CEC.

Expanded shale. Though Im not sure its considered organic, something to do with it beinf a kiln fired product. I have been looking for pumice so I can give it a try.

Took this glue down today @ 9 weeks exactly. Nice lookin stuff considering my bulbs are old AF. Replaced one this weekend, the other two next weekend. I don't even know how many hours are on these things but It's a lot.
The shangri-la turned out incredible. Way nicer than I remember the first time around quite a few months ago. Just a beauty! Top shelf water only flowers.
I think this plant got stuck in the polar vortex...

Just placed a seed order. Looking for some new flavors. 10 pack of Nirvana regs: Bubblicious, Blue Mystic, and Papaya. 5 pack of Delicious Seeds feminized CBD Jam. Got single freebies of Barneys Farm fem Pineapple Chunk and Sensi Seeds reg Durban. Really pumped about getting some new gear. I'm also gonna be popping some more Greenpoint stuff... thinking Jelly Pie and Bodega Bubblegum. So many options now!

Who needs to press flowers when the trim yields 12%??? I bet this shangri-la would make insane full melt bubble. I decided to press it for shits and giggles. These are mediocre plates at best too. Really want to get a Low Temp Plates set up on a 10 ton with a pressure gauge. This set up I used has no pressure gauge and is 20 ton on 2.5"x4" plates... less than ideal. Can't image the difference on a proper set up.

Thanks man!
So proud of this canopy... my best one with the wreck ever. These were grown under a 2 yr old bulb 600hps, sharing the footprint with 2 other plants for 6 weeks lol. If I would have had a fresh bulb and no sharing of the footprint... pretty sure I would have been near a yield/light personal record. Oh yeah these are in 5 gal plastics too... if I had them in 10 gal fabs or 7 gal plastics in addition to those other variables... def would have been a personal record

Flower room update!
Confidential Cheese ready for a run after an absence in the garden for a bit. I friggin love this strain. Great berry/grape terps with just the slightest cheese funk after its dried. This run is looking to be a good one! Maybe the best yet. All set up with the blumats!
Brainwreck is coming down this weekend. For a super old bulb, small containers, and cold temps during the winter... this run sure did perform.
Last but not least, the Pre98 Bubba Kush back for another run. These are looking great! Just shy of 4 weeks here...

Thanks DT. pretty damn close to OP anyway. I would have loved to have seen this run with all the parameters I mentioned in proper order... but as it stands, it is not a disappointment

Just so rewarding when you achieve even plethora of tops like that, ideal conditions or not!!Thanks DT. pretty damn close to OP anyway. I would have loved to have seen this run with all the parameters I mentioned in proper order... but as it stands, it is not a disappointment
What did you do differently, training wise..
I'm always torn between training more and less, lol.. Love seeing plants un cut, but love a row of colas.. I went thru a mainlining phase, but now I prefer a single topping, with a bit of fim / supercrop / lst to turn all arms into tops.. About a branch, or top per gallon.. Then leave a good one plant uncut so I can enjoy the natural state, haha. Great work though, man, wow..can't wait for your facil to get it poppin, gonna be a treat for the greater good ! No doubt!
