Lol... think I'll just save the money for something else. I don't use the bong anyways, only comes out when friends are over. The real bummer is the thing was our Engagement piece. Wife bought it for me. She said she'd get me a 'baby bong' to replace it, we'll see.
Thing has lasted over 6 years, not bad for a glass bong. sigh
So about the plants. Less airflow, maybe less action from the less breathing. I didn't use silica this round. Not sure that had anything to do with quality, but maybe quantity. I did the bare bulb thing, so they were absolutely pounded with light like never before... and because of that things were hotter this round than ever before. Plus these are the odd plants who took a month to root, from being rooted already lol.
Who knows. I'm going to retool so next round should be banging. I am thinking 3 options for clones. Visit 209cali for some new BB strains, visit strictly seedless for Dog and Banana again, or I could save some driving and waste some money buying some from my co-op. I don't think I'd actually pay for clones though. I also got another buddy, but don't know if he has any ready for me.
