Big chunky perlite is better in hydro. In soil mixes it robs the plants of space that could have nutrients, and better feed, and nourish your ladies. It's all about finding the right aeration level for your soil really. I was watching the weed nerd last weekend I think, and Tcurtis was talking to someone about commercial Super Soil, and how the perlite that's in it is smaller, but the mix still drains well, and that leaves more space for actual nutritional soil for the plant. I know to each their own, but i've always tried to find a medium size when I can, and find lome series perlite to be a good buy. It's not just a big bag of cancerous dust, and their seems to be mostly medium grade size inside, really like it. i've noticed though if you buy perlite that has a really small grain to it, you seem to end up with a ton of it at the top of your soil at the end of your grow. It's all a balancing act in the end I think. Your auto really did come out quite nice Pros, you're a really good grower already in your own right brother. The SCRog is looking great to man, real nice job with the shelf adaption. If I ever set a house up guerilla style for a larger grow, I'm requesting your services on the design man! You have quite the eye for that stuff. Have a great day everyone. Peace out.

Appreciate it Myco. I had a 30 year head start on my gardening experience. The indoor growing environment is what threw me, not so much the plant. But thanks for the compliment, means a lot coming from growers like you and the rest the members.
You like me, can appreciate the work that goes into producing the buds. I re-watched the videos from Cervantes yesterday. When I first considered growing, about a year ago, I watched all his videos. Watching them now, the content isn't scary or as amazing. What I mean is, I'm familiar now with the techniques, language, and procedures.
This is what I try to explain to the other newbs. You can't learn this by just posting questions on the board. You have to try it, learn from it, and adjust if necessary. That's how you get better. No short cuts. Have a great day and please say hello to the Mrs. from me!

I never thought of that aspect of it, but I did notice that the label on the MG bag says it has nutes like the soil, so......
Maybe that makes up for it? LOL.
Forgive my alcohol induced logic.

CM, Welcome to the thread. The BOG should produce a good harvest. She has plenty of thick stems and branches and was one of the best vegging plants of the group.I'm subbed wondering how the blue og is gonna do.

I like how your led rig throws lines in the pics bro, powerful lights for sure. My camera phone will get those from my T5H.O., but not my 600W hps though, kind of weird. your ladies look extraordinary with the little bud sets going on, and all. It'll be fun to watch them just explode in a week or two, and start swelling up for you. I like how my Blue O.G. is looking, really frosty. It does seem to have a messy looking top flower though, neat to look at. The stalk on the one girl in the pic with the lighter is really impressive, maybe it's the fabric pots helping out. Looking good bro, take er easy. Peace out.

Have a couple photos to share at 12 days into flip. Flowers are really popping up.
I'm looking forward to your smoke report on the Blue OG.

Didn't weave any branches into that lower right section of screen where the harvested auto flower was located.
Trying to move some branches over to take advantage of free space. Probably grow in soon.
They seem to be loving that LED.

Can make out the red cast from the LEDs on some of the leaves down below.

Thanks hb. Had to get under the screen and move the plant buckets around a little to flatten things out again. some shoots that were 4-5" above the rest, just pulled them down even with the rest. Screen is kind of nice to have for last minute tweaking. Watered today, about 3 gallons.
Still no added food. That just amazes me when I think about how many bottle feedings I had by this time last grow.
No more of this...

Right out of the bag and into this for 30 days with water.
Read on your thread that you are looking planning your next grow and leaning towards indica. Is that for height or some other reason? Have you decided what you will go with next?

It's fun to play, never run out of strains to try. I threw a clay plant saucer in there to add a gap between the two containers to collect run off. Oh, I added more perlite to the bagged soil but that's it.
Gone through four 1.5 cu ft. bags with about half the blue container above still in reserves for top dressing. I transplanted four times on this grow. Six plants.
