That strawberry milk should be very og-ish right?
Only coz mother's milk if I remember bodhi mentioning MM was an old world ogk & goji had alil of the similar?
Who knows, but good bud is good bud. Ha ha!

Rubbish bag, on a hot day kinda funk, from the chem d in the mix. Remembering now, I did pop 1 road kill unicorn & he stank in veg.

Bro I f'in love those fuely, astringent, chemical, rancid types.

Haha yeah was taking with 40Amp he said anything chemical and nasty makes fire when crossed with blueberry. I really miss that that plant man. Grew out some schnazzleberry#2 about 9 years ago when I was just finding me feet that was blueberry x chris's skunk.
Was an amazing plant great heavy high nice and fruity.

Well I popped all 12 beans of the strawberry unicorn.




Love them dank n nasty terps man

I grew some green house trainwreck just 1 bean think it was a mix pack. It smelt like bad dog breath and tasted like it as well. It was so horrible 2 smoke. It has put me off bad smells in weed hahaha.

Problem was I started with indicas and younger generations really like sweet flavours like Cookies, anything with sour wont go well in my area.

707 Truthband, Bit temperamental this lady. Some times of the day leaves are up other times of the day they a bit droopy. Looking at the top leaves they have a dark edge and bit lighter in the middle. What is she wanting cal mag? I thought it was stress, Took 2 lower branches off to make it easier to flush the pebbles during water change's, She didn't like that very much

Cheers man got an 8 inch td working in the double tent. I was thinking earlier I could maybe get away with adding a 3rd reflector when I'm flowering. Im not running co2 though. I've been spending money I haven't really got 2day ordered a packet of DJ's Blueberry. I know I won't find anything like the BB of the 90s but I hope I do lol

You never know maybes get lucky with the bb :D same size td i run, worth its weight in gold in my eyes i run mine with a variac controller its super quite, the best i ever owned to be honest, and yes i also think another reflector would do wonders with your space best of luck with your choices my seat is pulled up and watching :good:

DarkSider It's not looking likely the seed bank just called me and said they can't source the bean's lol. I thought most UK sites been out his bean's for a while now. Yeah man, They are good fans.

I don't think the 12th Strawberry Unicorn is gonna pop, Had a gentle dig and it hasn't opened up or anything

What's this then? Is that like root rot? That roots Excelurator dyed the roots. And after a bit more research it doesn't work 2 well with air bubblers. Yet I got the silver one that's ment to be for hydro systems. But where the bubbles pop that's left slight salt build up and left some crap from the Excelurator around iner pots, lids.

The Truthband is looking sorry for itself

I can't really do anything about my water quality till a later date. When it's possible will probably get a quality UV tube. And add a 2 stage filter. And use a sterile product. Rather than go R/O
It's only been 3 week's give or take a few days. Think I am going to take some cuts. Keep an eye on the roots.

Agree with scrogrow But use the food grade peroxide there is a slight difference and not just the price.:tiphat:

Well it doesn't look like I'm winning with the H2o2.

But on the plus side I am just waiting on some board to come then I can fix up the UV water treatment and sediment filter. I got one that does 6 gallons per min so 27 liter's. The min water flow I can put threw it is 5 liters per min

Maybe the H2o2 is helping a little bit, But the overall health of the 707 looks like it's deteriorating, With it been an recirculating system. I am wondering if it might just be better to start over. From what I have read if it's brown algae people are saying the only thing that has gotten rid of it is a bennie's tea.

Hay up man The 707 looked like a dead lettuce the day after I taken them picks. I could see I was fighting a losing battle, So taken some cutting's off the 707 truthbands I been vegging up in my veg tent. And chopped them down.

Fuck sake what a bellend, I will add some product keep my water nice this time around :thinking: I think that is where I went wrong lol. Thinking I got a magic water chiller. Will add some Hydroguard see how I get on with that.

I did get a UV water steriliser though and a 10 inch 5 micron filter, Got a 2nd coming in the post of 1 micron, I've used 12 meters of 15mm air pipe and made a hose out it. UV works at up2 27liters a min, Can have my tap on low doing 5 liters a min, So the water should be clean of germ's going in. I'm not using it set up to my system, I hear it can be bad on nutes.

Maybe I will have enough cutting's rooted for Sunday. It looks like they have started too root now. I will get this one finished, Try not to make any simple mistakes again :gaga::biglaugh: :tiphat:

Start of the 2nd round, Some root's starting to show. 1st time using a cloner. Cleaned it out it, Used 10 liters of UV treated water 5 ml hydroguard 5ml micro 6ml bloom GHE flora nutes, ph'ed 5.4-5-6 Exchanging water tank every 3 days. Cut the leaf's tip's, I also covered the propagation lid so the cutting's was shaded

Cutting the leaves and giving them less light, Help's them to put more energy into making root's than trying to grow. Same with the bloom. Potassium not Nitrogen.

The baby Strawberry Unicorn's. I have a sneaky suspicion the 4 that are separate could be male, They are a little lanky'er

Question about the cutting's would it be best to put them in a small rock wool cube from this point? I'm thinking about the best way not to damage root's transplanting. My net pot's are 6 inch And have small hands so could probably just use clay pebbles.
