Any of yall ever used that promix organic? I got some real cheap. If all i need to do is add my usual amendments im good. Ive seen some old posts where some trashed it but some people cant grow no matter what medium they use.

I just recently discovered the promix (red and black bag?) and by reading the ingredients, it should work. It seemed lacking in pearlite, which is easy to fix.
I got this bag for 4 bucks. I have plenty perlite and my usual amendments. I figured at worst i could start beans,but it seems like it should work to me too. Ive been digging the organic growing so yeah, im gonna try it. Thanks fam for responding!

I haven’t seen that version. Where do you find it for $4? I paid $13 and thought I struck gold.
Theres a little surplus store near me. It has a damaged spot on the package. Who cares though right? There were 5 bags. Im going back that way friday so if theres any left im buying. I saw the same exact stuff at walmart for $13. Im really trying to avoid those $30+ bags of FFOF. Especially since the last 2 bags were apparently full of fungus gnat eggs. Ive kinda gotten to the point where I can mix up my own version sans gnats at a much cheaper price and the plants in my mix are vegging just as well as the ones in FFOF. Man it gets expensive now that im running twice the plants. We will see how it goes.

I hear that. I also got gnats from FFOF. I switched to PROMIX HP, but the $13 bags are basically the same. I amend everything myself as well and don’t need all the extra stuff. I just scaled up from 4 plants at a time to 16, the cost of soils is felt!

Yep. I am gonna start using 8 3.5 gallon buckets instead of 3-4 5 gallons. These kush plants dont get as big anyways and now i can fill the space properly.

Chop day on the GSC. Ive been dry stressing her for 10 days. Got people gonna be in the house working next week and GSC was my stinkiest plant. Glad she finished! Somehow my phone disnt save the prechop pics. Ill post some dried pics. Fire red hairs, tons of frost maybe 5% amber, rest cloudy, so its gonna prob be a bit more heady but fine, ive got Kush for couchlock. The pic is of a damned ilgm GG4. It is a totally different pheno just like always, but it is very healthy. Full of frost and def. Indica leaning as shes only 18 in or so. Glad its doin good but ill never buy their crazy phenos again. Already got decent amount of scissor hash just doin a mild wet trim. Oh well back to trim jail......

Hang in there bro. I just got out of trim jail. Totally hear you on the ILGM. my Auto tent has 5 right now. 4 are GSC and 1 is GG4. Look at the genetic misfits I have in there. All the plants except the front left plant , are ILGM GSC. They look nothing alike-all were popped on the same day.27271C04-8E41-4358-BBEB-2EBFD6DC7C32.jpeg27271C04-8E41-4358-BBEB-2EBFD6DC7C32.jpeg74429AAB-215D-4A1F-85FC-DAC8C874F4D4.jpeg74429AAB-215D-4A1F-85FC-DAC8C874F4D4.jpeg

Im glad my GSC is from Fast Buds. It was a freebie, but its definately a strain i will grow again. The 3bears og has been curing a bit over a week and its an amazing smoke. Just not a big yielder but its quality for sure. Only reason i popped the ILGM bean was it was 1 of the "replacements" they coughed up awhile back. At least its healthy but its the smallest GG I ever saw. Yours look alot like my previous couple grows. Like totally different strains. If it turns out like mine did then youll have 1 or 2 that are pretty damned good and the rest leave you wanting. I still have 4 seeds left so im working 1 in here and there to fill space. I cant bring myself to toss them. I love weed too much. lol. Even from i love growing mutants.

Has anybody played with the spectrum to any advantage yet?
My plants are definitely loving it.
Got a tent full of ILGM also lol. GSC, GG, and Bruce Banner.
I have mine running full sunlight spectrum also. I played around with the spectrum some at first, didnt notice any difference. Probably would help if i was running photos or at least had all plants at the same stage but i have seedlings rt beside finishing plants albeit at a lower height. Its alright to run ILGM if thats all you have, just temper your expectations. There will be good and sketchy phenos. There may be mutants. But I had 2 GG last run that were great smoke. Sticky and stanky. Totally unrepeatable though as phenos are all different. But it is still fun as hell growing. BTW If those GG are autos, they will likely grow very fast. Most of mine were in full flower in a month +/- a few days. Good luck!

Yeah, I'm familiar with ILGM pheno drift lol. Same boat here in that I have all stages under it right now. It's going in a 3x3 eventually for photos so I'll play with it a bit then.

Heads up growmies. Amazon has the Szhlux PT5000 for $158 using the $20 coupon. If you need a good light on the dirt cheap it dont look like a bad deal. I like mine alot. Peace!
