it retains some :) i use 100% Perlite for my grows....... The more fine, the more water it will absorb. The tiny pores in perlite hold bubbles of water and oxygen.


copy/paste...
The advantages of 100% perlite or perlite/peat moss growing mixes are not limited to weight savings only. Horticultural perlite is an inorganic mineral of volcanic origin. Thus, it does not rot or otherwise deteriorate but continues to function in the growing mix. In addition, because of its unique surface configuration, particles of horticultural perlite will retain from three to four times their weight in water on the surface yet they will not become soggy. This is an important consideration with container plantings as this type of planting tends to dry our faster than plantings in the ground. This feature of perlite will produce healthier plants and trees while requiring far less attention (and less water.)

Unlike peat moss and bark composts, Coconut Coir did not break down or compact. Containers that had been filled with Coir four years previous were found to be at the same level and consistency. http://vgrove.com/coir.html

Perlite is a big part of my base, along with coir. I read this quote some time ago and it stuck with me. I have other amendments, but these are the two main ones. I also have a touch of vermiculite. (Don't worry, it's not catchy) Of course I meant in my mix. I have been recycling this mix for over a year now. You can see it in action above. I do plan to split it up and add fresh coir and perlite to each, essentially doubling up, which it seems I need to do. Flowa, you really got that scrog thing down man, that girl you have is a picture of health. Wish you could share some with me.

I like Jiggly Pig too! Lot's of times I catch myself typing Jug instead of Jig, but so far I think I've caught them all. This evening I confirmed my first male. One of the two Double Koosh. I am pretty happy about this and looking at the other, which is a very close pheno, I'm not seeing anything yet. Don't know about you guys, but experience tells me this is a good indicator it'll be female. Looking at the other eight they're looking like they're turning out girls. Two are femmed and have shown way ahead of everything else, they're the Strawberry Sour Diesel form Devils Harvest. They were part of a prize package I won from a contest at this really great club I belong to. Of the other six I may be wrong about 1 or 2 but I don't think so. If I am, I hope it's one of the Casey's

The new lens 17-85mm has a reasonably wide anlge on it, so nothing fancy, just an auto snap. Otherwise you need bloody stand etc to do it proper at night, especially with my shakey hands.

What do you have in there D? Is that a scrog you got going on, I can't tell? Looks great. I really to have to do one of those, but you'd really want to make sure you have the right plant, I'm sure. Talk about putting all your eggs in one basket. About the DK male, he is a handsome little fellow, and raging with hormones it seems. The nads he's grown just over night was really noticeable. I don't think it would take much more for a few to start popping. He pretty pungent too, with a bit of that sour cheese/milk smell. He's been taken away and place under a sunny window by himself. Have to get my cabinet for him set up today. You may see me over at the 600 Breeders. It's time and I have lots of questions.

Good day everyone. Hope it's as nice where you are today. I'm aiming for a productive day around the house but first....my bowl.

Hey erb lovers and 600 Users :) I'm so excited, that i just cannot hide it :p

here she is, in all her funky glory at day 43, i always think they begin to look worse after this stage during ripening, thoughts? you know when leaves die off , and colour changes make things look dead kinda, i dunno, I just think she looks so sexy right now. But thats probably just my obsession. I can't sleep i know that much

true on that.I got a extrasun ballast from a friend.It's has one of the plants off to help cool the ballast, and I can say my 1000w ballast because of that trick, run very cool vs my 600w sealed digital ballast
