Ghost does it stop stretch if used continuously thru first couple weeks?

I havent been giving this round continuous since it doesnt stay viable in the rez for too long. Giving here and there as i can or when tank is down to about 3-4 days left.

I did notice i didnt get much stretch, which is good as i flowered over-vegged moms anyways, but i also left lights at ceiling and didnt move either. I figured the lights high is what stopped stretch but maybe im wrong?

I did snag some mo with their sale to give a good solid run or two.

Good to hear ghost, so its got to be roots. I got plenty stretch buds are just soooooo tiny

Is this the glue? if so mine seem to be pretty picky about roots being tip-top as well. I havent quite figured her out yet. Seems picky bout her feets.

I notice i dont get 1/2 as nice roots out of the glue as i do the WFA or TT's. Seems much more sparse when i check her drawers.

<-- just waking up from a two day turkey and collard green bender...

What up ya'll.

Dude, if the OSA can stop a stretch dead in it's tracks that's exactly what I need for these diesel-haze genes that can stretch for 9 weeks straight.

I wish I had some leftover Turkey, always end up going out to eat nowadays for Thanksgiving I have plenty of bud and no Turkey, not the best situation.

Dude CG, some of those places can really go all out on T-Day right.

what week boss? She puts out comparatively smaller looking buds in the beginning imo to some others I'm running side by side, but makes it up starting week 3 on ime. Ya glue loves her some wiggle room in the shoes. I make sure I fill up that pot with roots. Multi feed is necessary in my setup to get the thick bitches.

I'm not sure if it stops stretch out n out, but it does ime significantly shorten interlodal length
length, which was aimed for in one room.other room I used regular dosing throughout and got a lil less stretch but much weaker stacking. And control room is at same height as first but weaker stacking and flopping already...

Near same situation each room has about a dozen old mom's and severely over vegged cuts. I got to about 7-7.5' tall with 8.5-9 ft ceilings and wrangled em down to the 4' mark with some trellis, filled in, cut shit out like I'm in the jungle, lights jacked up to the ceiling.I got pretty decent stretch, before throwing more trellis on.

Stem Size on fleek, secondary branches not pruned are bout thick as my thumb now. Main branches you could make bats out of, totally hulking out.. I'll try to snap some pics

Whats the OSA you speak of Ghost ?

 

[GrownOut]

OSA28.com

They were sending out free samples but looks like that is over now. It is OrthoSilic Acid, basically a readily available Silica that the plant can use immediately.

its silica , & it stops the stretch & shortens node spacing on plants ???

 

[GrownOut]

From the results it seems that way. It works differently than just Silica since its Ortho Silic Acid which is a different form and is immediately available for plant uptake. I havent used it personally i used to be good friends with the creator and i gave a few samples out and spread the word about it. So far everyone that has tried it have reported good things and results. There are lab tests that show the concentration in comparison to Fasilator and PowerSI.

while on the subject of osa28.....

cata, you mentioned it doesn't stay viable in the rez very long....is that the only downfall using a rez and drippers? does it contribute to clogged drippers?

one interesting thing.....pro-tekt increases the pH vs the Ora28 lowers it. i always have to lower my pH anyway...so that is a benefit right off the bat.

curious about that too .


& thanx GO pretty sure its acting like a stretch stopper is because it sets the buds faster & the tighter node spacing , so it doesn't have the time to stretch out like normal .
sounds good in theory anyways

I ordered a free sample , so we'll see ! Thanx Guys

No clogged drippers, of anything less so over here, running open 1/4 lines. Awesome dispersant, makes my watering super even actually. You're generally good up to 3 days in rez with it.

It's supposed to act that way, but my double dosed room is still stretching slightly. Not sure if it stops it dead in it's tracks. Dan let me know if they send ya a weak ass sized bottle, I'll give em a good scoldin lol

funny shit gh0st

awesome....so no clogged drippers i need to make 2016 a nice and easy no worries year so actually planning ahead this time

 

[gh0st9]

Unreg, ya need to automate then.apparently I'm worse for growing then machines are. Dtw Coco/chow mix fed 6x a day automated,ogbiowar, and base nutes=autopilot heaven. KISS. I probably spend less time per room than dudes with mini cabs on a average basis after training and pruning.

 

[Dognponyshow]

No clogged drippers

is this your first round running with osa? did you hear about it on ADS or before all that? i've been wondering if the lack of stretch is also associated with insufficient co2. my plants that typically eat super super light are devouring nutes like a medieval german would mead since using SA products. have you noticed anything similar?

will do ! lol

3 days on a rez before readjustment needed , & brings the PH down not up .... Hmmmmm
the protekt i use now as a PH up only , lasts 7 to 8 days in my 55 gallon rez before i have to adjust it back up . 4 days on my 18 gallon .
well , i'll do some experimenting once it gets here .

First full flowering run yes. Played around with clones in veg side by side (12 osa-12 control) to see what I was working with. Had my sample for a few months now. They're eating at the same rate, maybe a tad higher, but they drink it quicker, not a noticeable bump in ec like when I installed co2, but more watering frequency. What's ads?

 

[unregistered190]

the claw

the claw

Hugh has mentioned "the claw" on the TT and the answer was she likes lower nutes....less nitrogen maybe? I am currently feeding @ 1.0 to 1.2 EC max.....for all that run her...what do y'all think? Jacks/Calnit supplemented w/ cal-mag each feeding right now. Thinking about hitting it with a PK booster a time or two but gun shy after I locked up some plants a few grows ago doing that.

 

[Catatafish]

Whoever asked....(sorry)

3 day rez availability before it starts to become useless. So, in dan's scenario, with a 7-8 rez i would add in 3-4 days before the rez is all. Refill, wait again, add at 3-4 days etc... This is what i have been doing anyways

No probs with drippers for me either. I run the black holes like dan, no issues. From my
