I know it's in sand so I don't doubt that. Criminal what they charge for the additive since it is so plentiful.Plants love silica period, it’s one of the most common minerals on earth.

Worked in a few foundries myself.I know we used silica sand in the foundry and I know what it costs in bulk
Good Day Homer, and Merry X-Mas, I have been busy had my nephew and an old friend staying at my place all summer to Mid Nov, they enjoyed the free weed. I dry sift my sugar leaves and after 5 grows I accumulated a small mason jar full of dry sift, I decarboxilated the full jar and add just a pencil point of this dry sift into my coffee daily, I am not a smoker (its too strong for me) I find this Micro Dosing is great for me. My strains have been mostly Indica and Hybrids. Helps me out daily in numerous ways, I will start a new jar for Sativa strains to see the difference, I like it when they say they have a clear mind and stimulation and motivation. I get some from what I have but think the Sativa is the way to go. ThanksYes, I am going to take more because I don't want to lose this pheno till I get some bud from it and know what I have. If it is as good a sedative as my NL I may try and make some S1's from it.
I have been really enjoying my GG and BB as daytime micro – ish day timers. Not only do I find Sativas hybrids stimulating and keep me active I don't completely lose my memory the way I do with Indicas so it's easier to accomplish things in the day. So I am looking forward to my Super Lemon Haze next that is almost all Sativa.
Homer, could you please post a picture of your suitcase or Dome, I am sure it is minimalist and a good idea, I have not taken any clones yet, will try this with the Jack Herer strain next run, looking for idea's. CheersThat seems to be the problem with my old system; keeping them inside the dome in the humidity and happy sometimes they never rooted. I’m hoping this drying out method changes that. Starting today I was supposed to crack open my dome so that the growing medium can start drying out while I spray the plants twice a day. It is supposed to take three days till the pods are completely dry.
I figure it’s pretty important to control the humidity in my dome during this phase so last night I threw in one of my little hygrometers. Good and moist in there when the thing is closed.
Here they were this morning before I cracked open the dome a bit looking mostly pretty healthy. The two in the middle are the ones that were outside the dome originally and the one second from the right doesn’t look like it’s fully recovered but I only need one to survive.
The one on the far left being the biggest also looks like the healthiest and the article I’m going by says the bigger the better which is the opposite of what I have read elsewhere. Seems to me I keep reading little ones root faster but they don’t seem to agree in this article.
I made a little hook out of malleable baling wire so I can adjust the size of the opening in my container to control my humidity because the secret is to dry out the pods in three days without killing the plants in the meantime so I bet there’s a sweet spot there I hope to find with my hygrometer.
After a few hours, it was down to 86%. And then a few hours later it was down to about 68% but the plants were showing quite a bit of stress, shall we say. After hearing Penny say they mail them for a week without any moisture I figure they can take it until the pod’s dry out.
It struck me these pods are never going to dry out sitting in these cups so I put the pods on top of them. I would have just removed them but I need to keep track of which had hormones added and which don’t. Next time I probably won’t use cups at all but I need to come up with something to put in the bottom of this thing to make it level. This container is really made to sit flat not tall like this.
So I’m going to be babying these things for the next three days watching my humidity levels trying to keep the plants health-ish while the pod’s dry out timing it to three days ideally. I think if I can keep it around 85% humidity that would be best but that’s just a wild guess but my starting point.
Hope everyone’s week is going well.
Oh, that sounds like it would be an interesting job. You certainly have had varied careers.I was a journeyman molder making transmission parts for Ford and Chrysler
Merry Xmas to you too BudShark. I have friends that would never have left if I gave them free weed.Good Day Homer, and Merry X-Mas, I have been busy had my nephew and an old friend staying at my place all summer to Mid Nov, they enjoyed the free weed.

Thanks for the explanation about your sifting method; I admire your frugality. Good luck with the aloe vera, aspirin and Honey with your rooting endeavors. I have read about aspirin before but not the other two.Good Day Homer, Thanks for the picture and reply. I think I have a few friends like that as well. Lol I have a very simple homemade sift screen, used dollar store tray and some contact cement, I believe its the most common size 120 lines per inch, I don't work it too hard and get a pretty good quality sift in no time at all, I just dry the leaves and then freeze them for a few days and run it a couple of timesm very simple and inexpensive. The jar will last me a very long time. Really like your posts on the cloning process, I have an aloe Vera plant, aspirins and honey at home I think these might help the rooting process, will give that a try before I go buy commercial rooting powder . I like your Humidity done, I will be looking around the local thrift stores for something I can use, there is no way I am paying more that 10 dollars for this, I am pretty tight, I agree about the room, more the merrier. Lol Your pictures are amazing and like your growing techniques, will be dropping in from time to time. Cheers
Thanks. Hmmmmm.... What is this reveg you speak of? How long has it been in bloom?Looking super, I may reveg the Chem D if I can’t get a cutting rooted.
You have got to be kidding me? I don't doubt you I just find it absolutely astonishing that it will revert back to veg so late in life. I have never heard this before. This I gotta try.About 2 weeks, when harvest is done cut the plant back and put it under 24 light until it reverts back to the veg mode.
It works it just takes time
Unfortunately, I don't see a photo?Here’s a GG4 reveg, notice the single blade leaves? It will eventual grow 3 blade leaves then 5. After that it’s ready to flower a second time.
