its amazing how mch you set them up at such a young age, as well as how flat they are Trippy man,
As SOON as I can, I want to eliminate unnecessary growth tips and fan leaves, directing all that energy from the root mass to my chosen colas.
As long as I don't break any, I'll have 24 colas plus a few (only select) side branches.

man that tea rocks, either that or the hydrogaurd and zho thats in the tea is whats helping things, because Im still not sure im doing it right, lol... I just dont get that foamyness i see in pictures. but the results seem to be noticeable, the ph has been rock solid for over a week and a half, and a steady ppm drop.
RECIPE: (:
I aerate 2 gallons of water for a couple days to get rid of the chlorine.
Then I put a couple handfulls of worm castings into a piece of knee high nylon stocking and rubber band that to a medium sized round air stone and drop that in the water.
I also add another smaller air stone to increase aeration.
Then I add about 25ml AquaShield/HydroGuard.
1/8 tsp GH Sub Culture "B".
1/4 tsp Sub Culture "M".
Add about a tablespoon or so of Molasses to feed the herd and make them multiply.
Aerate in room temperature for 48 hours.
I filter it through one of those metal mesh coffee filter things you use if you are too cheap to buy disposable filters, into clean gallon milk jugs.
Keeps in the fridge for up to 10 days. {{{Just mark it so nobody thinks it is Iced Tea}}}
Smell it, it smells good, earthy, when it's fresh/good.
You will KNOW when it's bad...

Here's my process, it seems very similar. I have one air pump that I run an open tube directly into my cheese cloth wrapped compost. I use another pump that I attach a medium sized airstone to drop in the water. I've been doing 2 gallons at a time, buying jugged r/o water from the store. Since it's r/o I'm assuming no chlorine? Maybe I should try to aerate it out. I add 15 m/l Hydro guard per gallon. I just add a scoop of zho powder to the mix. And a couple tablespoons of molasses. Put the top on my bucket and cover it with a towel. I've let it go for 2-3 days, with no noticeable difference.
This current batch has been in the fridge for at least 10 days, it has a sweet smell to it, but doesn't smell that bad to me.
I mean the plants seem happy. :confused:

With the Reverse Osmosis water there is no chlorine... no nuthin.
I would try to add just a fraction of your scoop of ZHO fungi.
You don't need much because you are breeding them in this bucket.
Try also to leave the lid off the bucket ???
IDK... maybe they need air...?
When you see the FOAMY water in 48, you will know you have succeeded !

I never showed how well the steerable drain extender worked. (part of a plastic "P" trap)
I put this one in this res with part of the curve still on the bottom.
I keep it steered just left enough to make it bounce off that wall and it really gets the soup rotating in the res.
Lots of aeration in the drain process as well.
Perfect!

Sir, you are an artist. My brain finds it difficult to believe that one could do what you do to plants, and still have them look so damn healthy. I tend to refer to plants that look that good as being "happy", which yours appear to me to be, but I realize that's my anthropomorphism.

Rock on.

I understand completely. I grow for my wife (OMMP), but I have bad lungs and can't smoke. I do eat edibles most nights, but its not quite the same. So for me, the challenge of growing is 1000x more interesting than the product I actually partake of. I just came up on the 1 year anniversary of the first clones I bought. I am now on my 5th indoor, and have done one outdoor since then. Growing has been a crazy ride, but "addicting" could easily describe it. :)

Hey Fish, how is that Lizard light working out?
I guess it's working...?
Never had a run without one.
All I know is that the AK-47 is some of the best smelling, best high I have ever grown, and as it cures longer & longer, it gets EVEN better.
REALLY looking forward to a mature Jack Herer... should be an epic buzz !

I had company last week, so I skipped last Friday and ran 2 weeks till I changed the res today.
A lot dirtier around the splash areas and a good ring around the tubs, but the plants did GREAT.
The roots are MASSIVE on all 3 plants and now sitting in fresh soup and I am going out right now to add some freshly brewed TEA !
