Sour D is stretching WAY more than any of my Jack's did, gonna have to scratch that off the list. Not saying it isn't good for SoG, just saying it isn't good for my SoG setup.

I dry to almost crispy, then freeze before running through the silkscreen...

You chop something?
Kind of hash you making, Dewey?
use the bubble bags to make bubble hash... i dotn think using fresh would make any difference with the ice water.
Cool, I just have been storing all my clippings in a bag in the freezer for about 4 months now and I want to make it, but wanted to make sure I needed to dry it out first.

Interesting ... in my set up the F13's stretched out and the Sour D didn't stretch as much. But both stretched way more than the Purple's(Erkle, Kush).

Well let me rephrase.

It is as height stretchy as any of the others thusfar, but the side branches are way too stretchy for my liking. They are only at a little over 2 weeks though so I can't say for certain what they will end up like, but compared to the other strains I have tried, this one just wants to take up too much width.

I will have to wait a few more weeks to really tell how the Black Domina's turn out, but thusfar I am happy with them. Not too much stretch, and with pretty nice node density. What I love about them is that all of the nodes seem to grow very vertical as compared to branching out. So even if it does have shitty node density in the end, it will still be thick for the sake of SoG.

My favorite strain thusfar from what I have been able to try is the Poison Kush. Good meds, great smell, and the nugs just look fantastic as compared to the Jack's. Much more personality, and much more dense.

The OG is at like 6ish weeks, but it is quite small and I think that whole tray got stunted from nutrient lockout. So it will really be hard to tell much from that one plant, but compared to all the others, that fucker is covered in trichomes. Not that the others weren't covered, but this one is definitely heavy in that.

The things I could do with a room ><

Ebb and flow SOG, sounds like my place to be. I've bought my equipment, and was going to go to Home Depot to build it this weekend, but I got company coming so it will have to wait a week. I've got two 4x4 flood trays to go under three 600w Hortilux Super HPS, inside Xtrasun air cooled reflectors w/ Lumatek ballasts. I've got a Can 8" HO fan w/speed control, paired with a Can 75 filter. I'm not using C02, instead I'll have the fan run 24/7 to provide plenty of fresh air to my ladies. For resevoirs I've got two 50g tubs from Walmart, each with a 400gph pump and two airstones. I'm going to look into a chiller for my res for later in the summer (suggestions appreciated). I've got an Agritest 1 meter for ph/TDS, and nutes to get started.

I'm going to do one grow, then I have to move the grow room to a permanent spot. I don't want to move live plants, so I'm going to grow mothers from seed, then cut them down to nothing for clones. Once rooted, I'll transplant to hydroton in the trays 8" apart, so about 36 plants per tray. I won't be using pots, just planting directly into the trays. Veg for one week, then flower.

I don't yet know exactly how I want to do the medium. I was originally going to put them in 4" rockwell cubes placed in hydroton ala Mr. Green. But I'm concerned about how much water RW will hold. Then I got a suggestion to put the cubes on top of the pebbles instead of in it. And of course, Lucas doesn't like RW at all, says it causes problems (algea, disease) with no added benefits.

I still need to pick up a few things, like the fan for my light ventilation. Also, I'm wondering if I need a reverse osmosis filter. My tap water is 7ph, which i can fix, and the TDS is 150. I can't really afford a RO filter for at least a month.

So thats the rundown. Comments? Suggestions? This is my first grow.

It all sounds good. With your water I wouln't use R/O nor sediment/chlorine filter. Just adjust the pH.

Good luck.

You really should get a pot per plant. A whole lot more flexibility and you can actually move your plants/clean your trays. I almost went Mr. Green style as well and don't regret picking up some square pots.


Also your Water is fine. R/O is really only for the anal or those with high TDS(me). Nothing wrong with getting one down the line for the peace of mind if you are the type. But not needed at all.

Speaking of 600W... Are the bulb upgrades I am seeing worth it? What can be so different about a bulb to warrant a $20 or $40 upgrade price. 600W is 600W, right?
