Thanks for checkin out my new grow. This will be my 5th time in a row growing GDP. I love Granddaddy. Growing it and smoking it. I'm really excited about less plants too. Less humidity and less feedlines to accidentally unplug. It should help with the mildew too. BUT I have to do a better job trimming under the canopy! The clones… well… I picked em up clones from a club in San Jose. I was suppose to meet up with a friend of Ken Estes today, but it didn't happen. Unfortunately, I couldn't wait around for clones this time either. I'm in a bit of a time crunch. After this grow my wife is evicting the grow room. Ouch! another kid on the way. So this will be my last grow where I'm here. And then I relocation and upgrade!!!!Nice, is this your 4th round in a row now with the GDP? are you getting the clones from the same source every time so they are always from the same mother? I think you made the right choice with fewer plants this run, last round your canopy was so thick I wasn't super surprised when PM showed up, it has happened to me multiple times in the past. I am here and ready for the show!! Good luck with everything, and nice job on the quick turnaround.

Very nice clean up ...let's get the ball rolling...
Great new start & great cleaning out the room.. U should start them off with a nice spray down with some compost tea.. There is beneficial bacteria in the tea that will put a coat on the leaves & eat off any PM that might b on them.. Do a foliar spray with tea every now & then in veg & early bloom & PM won't have a chance 2 survive thats what i do 2 my plants but that's cuz I can get compost tea 4 free at my local hydro store.. If u can't get it locally u should hit up G.O.D & buy a gallon of his tea it's good stuff & would work the same..
I usually start my clones off light with around 250-300 ppm.. Good luck with this grow
Yeah doggie, I like the sound of this tea. If I stroll into my local hydrostore and ask for it, will they know what asking for? Is there a certain brand? Have you used greencure? I dipped them in a "Dr. Dolittle or DoX" solution before putting them in my room. I believe that more for mites though…

I smell purple.....those clones are looking nice bro looks like it's gonna be another round of dank..how you liking the MH bulbs? looking forward to seeing you run these again hope she goes great!
Looking good. I also start the girls out with 3-400ppm.
compost tea, At the dro store ask for Vermi-t.
Don't forget to hit the girls with a sulphur burn and silicon.
Hit your girls with vitamin b-1 the day before you transplant, that will help with the transplant shock.

Lead, thanks for advice. I'm excited to try this tea everyone is talking about.
How early can you start using silca? I use Protekt. I still need to get the sulfur burner/vapo thing. I heard you have to cover you carbon filter before you burn it. Have you heard that?
What does b-1 do? I've never used it and know nothing about it… Is it a spray or rez application? Should I use it when transplanting into my cubes? Just once?
I'll be constructing a manifold this weekend. Less plants=new manifold. It should be fun!
Good to hear form you,

good growin,Thiamine (Vitamin B1):
B1 is produced in the foliage of plants and transported down to the root system where it has an effect on root growth and development. In tissue culture and rooting preparations, B1 helps to stimulate the growth of roots on new plants but this is best used in combination with rooting hormones. B1 can assist at any time in a plant's life with root regeneration where the root system has been damaged or stressed through high salinity, pathogens such as pythium, nutrient deficiencies and toxicities, high fruit loading etc but only if the foliage of the plant is unable to produce sufficient supplies for this purpose. Use of B1 is seen as a 'back up' or 'insurance policy' as it is difficult to determine if a plant which has come under stress is capable of producing sufficient B1 to send down to the root system to assist in cell development. Use of Vitamin B1 in plants is the same as in humans - it is most useful where a deficiency exists for some reason. B1 is best applied as a seed soak to speed up germination (root growth), or as a foliar spray.
B1 is an organic compound and as such is rapidly broken down by microbes in the nutrient solution (they love to eat carbon based compounds), adding high amounts of B1 may ensure sufficient thiamine stays in the nutrient for a few hours for some plant uptake, but generally microbes will break this down rapidly as well.

No G.O.D dosent work 4 a hydro store but he works at a Cali Cannabis Club in SoCal & he has his own Nutrient line with some killer nutes he gots a kick ass tea.. He gots everything a plant needs 2 grow & 4 way cheaper then the hydro stores..
Your Welcome. If you use the regime, it really helps in preventing pm/mold.
I use silica within 1st week after transplanting clones 1/2 strength. seedling waiting 2-3 weeks. After they are under hid then foliar spray em.

yes, probably best to remove the carbon filter to remove the sulphur fumes. motorized duct damper is the ticket, that way you do not have to detatch your filter when using sulphur. Do not use sulphur along with neem foliars. can fry your girls.

Thiamine / b-1 apply for transplanting/taking cuts/topping/overfeeding/lightstress are few examples of when can be used.
They got some b-1 products at your local dro shop, same w home de pot or local gardening supply. Superthrive 1/2 drop per gallon is not too pricey.

FYI, There are rubber plugs sold for the manifold holes.
May be able to use some of them rather than make a new manifold.
westcoast growers has 20 of em for $1.95.

good growin,

good to hear they are okay.....I personally never feed my clones when I transplant them I'll just give them water for first few waterings then a light foilar feed with growth plus and then I'll start them on some nutes Personally I think u shock clones that size when u feed them they need to develop some roots before they start eating, I have had way heallthier plants doing this.......and for vegging keep them on 600 and high away from plants then when they start to grow lower lights and increase wattage, I will start them on 600hps for 2-4 days then I'll up it to 1000watt and keep cool tube around 2-3 feet from canopy and they veg beautifully, just keep on eye on them and you will figue out what makes them happy!
this is the stuff seems like it's hard to find online but it's a marine algae extract plant food, great for foilar and I put it in veg teas as well
