Oh, in regards to the spin trimmer, a couple packs just went to a patient and the only thing he said was "this is so fire, I love it" - so I will be using the spin trimmer when needed now, no one could tell the difference :D use it gently so it's not butchered and leaves some leaf on and bada bing bada boom! :)

Must be the inner hippie in me but I like to leave a little bit of sugar leaf :). Quality of the smoke outweighs the looks in my book

Same here man, I selectively leave on leaves that to me make it look better :) I don't like all the leaves trimmed off, it just makes it look more commercial or something, a few sugar leaves wrapped around the bud gives it that extra visual pleasure :bigjoint:

For sure! It actually works pretty damn good, yeah it knocks off trichs, but don't think it's the trichs off the bud, I think it's off the leaves more so. I just trimmed a lb in 3 hrs by trimming tops by hand and the lowers in the trimming machine! Stoked!! Once I mixed it all together I can't tell any difference, the trimmer actually leaves some nice leaves on the bud, didn't demolish them one bit!
I grabbed one a couple years back, and actually liked it. Definitely strain specific, but cut time, when time was limited. ATB!

I've also switched the veg nutes over to v+b at 1040ppm (1.5ec) for the mendo and 970ppm for the other tray. The mendo have grown quite a bit just over night and are starting to green up finally. Shouldnt be long before I can flower them now, I was going to wait until next cycle because I messed them up pretty bad but I think they'll be OK and I'll be able to do 12 ebb buckets of mendo in 14 days or less I think.

I'm kind of embarrassed of these plants, but the new growth looks good lol. As you can see on the older growth they were pretty bad. I also topped them and super cropped them 2x during the slaughter because the cuts are really tall when I got them.

Here's the tray of cherry pie, gsc, ghostrider and sunset sherbert. They're about a week old since transplant and are starting upward growth now

Looks great bro! I finally got my two rooms flipped and only a couple things left to do to them. Got to put up netting frame and vent the ac and I am done. Pm me when you get a sec.

@adower do you use an airstone with the v+b? Or do you know if it's ok to use a airstone with v+b?
I always use an air stone. I was told by them there is no reason I couldn't. Did you have a possible issue that you think may happen?

Let me know how that black lime reserve goes. I almost got a cut of that because I heard it has awesome genetics but I like my skywalker too much

OK good to know, I've been running the airstone with no issue yet, was just curious as some nutes say do not use with an airstone, I think floralicious plus is one, I think v+b contains fulvic acids and I thought airstone are bad for that, but I could be wrong I can't quite remember. I just didn't want to brew something bad in the res :)

Will definitely let ya know about the BLR I hear it's pretty damn good :) hoping to be able to take 9 cuts in couple weeks from the blr and diamond OG to flower in the ebb buckets next cycle after the ghostrider finish up

A few days under two weeks in flower, the ghostrider is in beast mode stretching like crazy. I don't think I have to worry about them dying any more :p looking forward to seeing what they do, they are much higher than the batch I'm about to flower and the canopy filled in nicely.

Ghostrider at 9. 5 full weeks. Will be giving the chop today or tomorrow. Excited to see how they did

Glue at 7 full weeks. Buds are chunky and dense and stinking :p Will let them go 2 more weeks then give them the chop.

Buds on glue looking fat for 7 weeks! Are you still using GH in your flower room? I ask cause a lot of people complain about deficiencies I just see all green brotha
Thanks bro :) I'm liking this run, the buds arent as big the last sea of green but they are a hell of a lot denser so I think the weight will be similar. I still use maxi in flower and have had early deficiencies the first couple times running it, I would have Completly yellow leaves by week 6. So I've been experimenting with using more maxigrow in flower. For glue I came up with using 50/50 grow and bloom for around 4 weeks, doing a res Change turn running 90% bloom and 10% grow the rest of the way. They end up starting to fade around week 9 this way.

For the ghostrider, being an OG and all, she didn't like running 50/50 for 4 weeks, they got N tox fairly early so I cut out all grow at week 4 and they are still green lol. For the new batch Im running 80% bloom 20% grow from the start of flip and will switch to 100% bloom at week 4. I think it should work out much better.

I guess it's really just strain dependant, but never use straight maxibloom in flower for any strain, I don't think many strains would like it, 50/50 for the first two weeks seems to work well with most strains, so I'd start there and tailor it to certain strains that get tox or deficiencies

Hey Alpha, cheers for chiming in on the other thread today, you probably just saved him a heap of cash as opposed to my suggestion!
Can I please ask how you came to the conclusion about bloom additives? If they really do nothing at all, I'd be keen to stop using mine as well. Is it the same for all? I run a brand of coco nutes that work well, if I dont need additives I'd be stoked :)
