Hey everyone thanks for the kind words!! I really appreciate it I actually held it in how pissed I was I felt like joe Pesci in home alone how when he was getting pissed off and making all those wierd noises without yelling but mine were curse words but not very loud at all but I tell ya right afterward I got a headache I was so pissed I lost a total of seven but luckily on two of the rks is in that death toll. Good thing they werent under my hps could u imagine that? Would of been a higher death toll it was actually my brand new L.e.d blue and white veg light that fell good thing it isn't huge or death toll would of been higher plus I went in there like a medic with tape in hand to help bring down casualties but the ones that died snapped in two spots top and very bottom and were hanging by a thread and the stems some how twisted. I was very sad and anytime I lose a seedling or plant I am upset for sure but the good news out of all this is tent is back uP and no more deaths will happen because she will only be aloud to look at them if I open the door for her or she wants to peek through the side window. I'll post some pics later on tonight or today for sure as soon as I get around to it but thanks everyone for stoping through and Dj I bet that was a treasure hunt for ya after he pulled all the markers out lol hopefully u remembered in what order you had them but that definitely sucks for sure! Lol.

only our minds try to convince us the contrary, and what really is the mind anyway?

Thanks for stopping through med-man&rolldaddy well today I am gonna transplant these rks2 plants today and try to get pics up shortly just have to get a good light source because I just recently moved them under my 370w led light which is pink and blue so they look wierd under it. I have to say those rks are definitely vigorous plants for sure that's why I am up potting them already because they wanna shoot for the sky. Well I also might hang my 600w metal halide up just because I think I will get better branching without pinching so maybe I'll do this all before I get the next set of pics up but those rks are definitely stinkers already in veg and that's another reason I might hang my 600 to put up my carbon filter also. One thing about them I think they are a little N sensitive and dont like lots of it. I don't really like the new promix with the Nitrogen in it already because I feel it might be releasing a little to much because these things have to get watered every other day temps have been good like 73f with 65 to 70 rh well that's it for now will make sure to get pics up this week after transplant and they recover.

I use fafard promix and I think it's great. It's 25 percent perlite and 75 pf peatmoss without nutes in it. That way I control what I'm feeding them at each stage

Hey

Hey

I use fafard promix and I think it's great. It's 25 percent perlite and 75 pf peatmoss without nutes in it. That way I control what I'm feeding them at each stage

Hey rolldaddy ya I usually just use bx promix with no nitrogen added also and has the perlite added to it also then I usually always add more perlite to the mix for better drainage I just have been crazy busy lately now because my dog is sick and the damn vets are giving me the run around with not knowing whats going on with him so far I have spent about 600 with them not knowing or them telling me what's going on seems like they just want me to keep spending and it sucks because he is like my son i have head him for 6yrs and never had a issue with him till now sucks bad not knowing what the hell to do for him to help him and these freaking stupid vets don't know anything it seems I am sure they do but when they see a chance to cash in they take full advantage of the situation and won't even work a payment plan out for me. The thing that really kills me is I have bought pitbulls for like a 100 bucks and never had any issue with them except most were stupid as shit then I pay almost 2grand for a blue pit and he seems to have issues with sensitive skin and allergies but he is awesome smart as hell and a great dog best I have ever had and he is handsome as hell plus he is a good guard dog to boot but I gotta figure out what is going on with him ASAP need him back in good health that has been my main focus for the past almost week. I am about to start feeding him bud and see if he makes a recovery shit it heals everything else when so called doctors drugs don't so maybe it will be a expirement lol or atleast he won't be on the pain he has been in lately

MikeNite, if it makes you feel any better blue pits and blue dogs in general are prone to skin problems. I don't know what kind of skin problem your dog has but sometimes it can be beneficial to feed them better quality dog food, one that is more meat and less filler and possibly no corn or wheat.

Also sometimes a bath with a natural oatmeal dog shampoo with a dab of antibacterial soap can be helpful to clear up any infection.

Allergy testing on dogs can be quite costly and from my experience they can never tell exactly what is the cause.

I would contact the breeder you got him from, a respectable breeder will have a health guarantee. And beyond that maybe do a little research of your own to help narrow down what might be the cause.

Ya well today I am sad to say I had to put my best friend to sleep after a little fight my 6yr old dog pretty much was gonna die from a dirty ass tick bite and last night I had to put him down because he was suffering from kidney failure. So I'll try to get this tester thread back on track in a couple of days with updates and pictures. I actually just picked up another l.e.d light that I ordered the other day just waiting for it to get to my house. Sorry for the delay on pictures and updates will get everything back on track shortly. Peace mike.

Thanks a lot for the kind words okd ya it's been ruff u know coming home and not having him here's to greet me just blows starting to feel a little better that I did the right thing for him. Good thing about it all though time heals everything. Thanks again okd I really appreciate it.
 
We have six in our pack,
I sincerely feel your loss but rest assured they are as I put it 'free ranging' forever
and of course someone like yourself could give another animal (a rescue perhaps) a great life and it is a simple gesture of paying it forward.

good luck with your show

Yes that is truely spoken and maybe I might do that once I am over the loss of my dog just wouldn't want to get a dog to soon because I wouldn't want to compare them to "meatball" ya know he was just the smartest pitbull I have ever come across but when I feel better maybe I'll look into getting a rescue. Peace mike

Hey im me thanks for the thoughts and yes med-mans rks I already smell reekers and they are still young I am trying to nurse them a little back to health after the light falling and I feel my soil is drying out a little to fast and releasing to much nitrogen because I gave them a light feeding and they all started showing signs of over fert and I only fed them sensi 2ml per gallon so a light feeding to say the least so I hit them with some florakleen and they are recovering nicely. But back to the stinkers I actually went out and bought a brand new phat filter because my other filter I bought before I found out wasn't virgin activated carbon and was burnt coconut fiber which works but when you have reekers on your hand just wanted to have that piece of mind of a brand new virgin activated filter plus I heard the phat filters are really good especially since you can blow into them or suck through them. Well sorry for the delay with pics but wanna show nice plants when I upload pics after recovery pretty much they bounced back nicely and just hit them with some more florakleen today along with super thrive and some humboldt mycos.

Well med-man was correct about these autoflowering I actually was tending to my plants today and my favorite rks pheno is autoflowering and I don't think it is root bound because I already up potted it so maybe the mycos made the roots go bananas and it made it autoflower glad to see I have one garenteed female so far I'll make sure I get some pics up the rks are looking really good big old fat indica leaves plus I can see two distinct variations some have very dark green leaves and some of the others with smaller leaves are more lime green but both look really good and are stinkers for sure especially if the heat kicks up and the humidity is high. Also IMO they don't like lots of N as far as I can see because I had to recover mine from there first light feeding being that there is N in the soil so from now on they won't get fed until I see change in leaf color or the flowering cycle.
