so uh, when you goin hydro bruh? your setup is ripe for it

I say you build a soil that only requires water - but can be boosted with teas regularly.

Who said somethin' 'bout oil?!

WG, I'm a super lurker with poor attention. Sorry for that. :)

You grow in a promix/dirt thing, right? As LyryC pointed out.. Teas FTGDMFW

("Sonofabitchin'" goes in there somewhere too)

ya you should do a tea vs booster side by side - would be cool

:laughing: Don't holla at me. Im Rick Ja-a-ames, biatch! Haha! As soon as I saw the old dudes face... hollahollaholla - like a switch thrown on. And I remember that other bit too.

Promix, vermiculite, perlite and powdered DE. I was given some growstones at a show homes. Tossed that in too but I think its part of the ph problem Im struggling with.YOU MUST WASH AND RINSE GROWSTONES PRIOR TO USE! how did you use them that they would influence PH? maybe get a chelated nutrient source if you don't want to worry about ph

And to that end - I should have a pen in my hands soon. Ph in, ph out - should see improvement.

For The Gawd Damn Son of a Mother Fuckin Win - cant seem to make 'fuckin' and 'bitchin' work together. But with 'bitch' used as many times as 'the' in the last few posts, we got that covered.

Miss all those dudes LC. I can still remember Hicks HBO comedy special from when I was a kid. Ive given the 'don't tell' scenario a thought... or 2 ;)

Friend - Cant even think about hydro without that pen. Im still toying with the idea of vertin' 1 of my bubs, never mind hydro. Getting to be an old dog and new tricks don't come so easy. I am definitely always thinking about how to move forward/ improve... baby steps. If you got more pocket change to toss this way, don't hesitate. I welcome all comments and criticisms.

Took pics - 91 of them. Got it down to 30 so far. Get a peek in on everything - seedlings on up.

Speaking of seedlings, Im down to 1 BB x C99 f2 - there goes any chance of f3s. Sucks. Could have been a nice gift to the server fund or freebie stash. Doesn't seem to be a lot of Joey Weed descendants around. I don't know if I should mate it to BS 2.2 or not. Input?

More tomorrow guys. Didn't get much sleep last night - in my girlfriends bed :biggrin: Hollaaa...!

hah nice!

Being the asshole I am - I have to say it is so very nice not to have to worry about my medium or roots ever having any PH issues. my biggest problem - lack of space ^_^

cheers brothers :bongsmi:

those buds are nice lookin! But I hear ya on the trim work - too much leaf just ruins the structure - and leaving all that on there isn't appealing - even to yourself when you could of already used the trim and just have more nug

but can you tell me what MM taste like again - will help me with my pheno understanding.

The problem was the ph. After flushing and correcting, it seems a ton of locked up nutes were uptaken. She burst out with more vertical growth and all the budlets stretched and threatened a bit of reveg. They all did it to an extent but #4 ran with it. Ill be surprised if she makes 2 z.

EDIT: Anyone got info on Extech PH50 ph pen?

Extechs been ordered, be here in a couple days aong with 1000 w bulb. Gotta wait until the big girl below is done. Overall footprint is tightening and Im stretching it as is.

NWT - Day 37ish - Greening up slowly. Have an oil-filled heater running now and its helping big time. Here she is about a week ago.

About 20 of these - give or take size-wise. Buds now.

She is a bit beastly NKOTS :D Shes about 1 m across. Hope she puts out - you know what they say about big girls ;)

So my partner is deluded. He doesn't see the trade off.

P: With that ph gun (he is unable to get it in his head that its a pen), we're gonna have huge buds. And with the Bloombastic, we're gonna get 5-6 oz plants.
Me: Not likely, unless we grow fewer plants.
P: blank face
Me: Our light footprint will be shrinking so we cant do 10 plants in 3 gal pots. 8 maybe, but they cant be bushes like the NWT. We can only do 3 that size.

Hes being greedy. I may have to tape out a mock footprint on his floor so he gets my point. He also doesn't really get pheno hunting - doesn't understand why different plants in the same generation grow and yield differently. Cuts are cuts for a reason, they've proven themselves - seeds are a crap shoot. The only guarantee is that theres a possibility of finding something cut worthy.

I got to get the cuts of MOB and White Diesel that we used to have back. That will shut him up so I can keep popping seeds and chucking pollen.

ive decided to only stick with OJD's Strawberry Haze girls.

all SLHxMM seeds in water - just ganna grow them out.

I need to stop keeping everything and just let go of stuff / grow it out / enjoy it.

#2 is for sure pineapple tho and I think i'll be able to flower her next week once I got a good clone.

As for #1/#3 im culling the two leftover cloens and whats in flower is it.

Good luck with your partner brother

Hows your SLH cross smoking?

Changes...

Fuckin changes! Now we are going to 1000 and 2 600s. P only had to change his mind 6 times over 3 days to decide on what I said we should do a month ago. Sheeshh!! So no tape on the floor NKOTS. Footprint will only slightly increase and we'll get closer to 58ish w/sqft.

I stopped by the Closet of Love before stopping here. I see youre doing just that. I swear right now Im running things twice just to keep plant count up and the jars from going empty. I just need a few goto plants to keep P happy while I play. All the SLH x MMs basically smoke the same, like dirty SLH. The 2 vomit phenos aren't so rank anymore. Still some puke in them along with concentrated grape juice and a hint of SSH sweetness. Another 1 is somewhat like your pineapple pheno and the last smells like fruit dusted coffee.

Hard as I look, I cant find any balls or nanners on any plants - and Ive spent a few hours looking. SLH looks like she was gangbanged - hairs are all dying off - no calyx swelling though. It is possible the light was too low so I raised it a few inches. Some on the MM too, not nearly as bad - and they share the same light. Lets hope that's the issue.

Nice job on Tonys beans OKD. Hope youre enjoying them :D

Sour bro! Times they are a changin', eh! ;) Did you make the move yet?

EDIT: SHIT! I left out all kine a shit. Didn't tell you guys that my gf smoked with me Xmas eve. Oh my fuck was that funny! We puffed on SLH from the 1st harv in this room. She was sooooooo high that it was a bit hallucinogenic for her. Blast off! Laughing uncontrollably. I said to her, "Im even funnier when Im high, but Im even funnier when youre high!" She lost it :D Good fucking times!

Extech PH50 - nice design, the probe isn't stuck way up its ass like a Bluelab. I had a much easier time using it and it doesn't have 3 or 4 bottles of other stuff to go with it. It measured at no more than a 0.1 difference than the bluelab. So far, so good...

Seed plants didn't seem to be doing much, still small. Pulled a couple out and they easily had 10x more mass under the soil than above. So many roots that they were pushing all the soil up and out of the way. Transplanted 2 days ago and most have grown 3-fold.

nice! more light = higher yield - but more heat!

All the beans(15) are in root riots in a tray with just a bit water on the bottom and a heat mat under :) I'm going to coco them in 3" containers after a nice tap emerges.

#2 surely is a very nice sweet pineapple smelling but not sure about tasting plant

ironically cloning in a cup of water just sitting there is looking more promising than anything ive done before - and im not doing anything!!!

fuck it if it takes longer - even more bad ass and easy to label and keep track of.

Lets see those monster bushes you have in there!

:wave: :smokey:

Added to previous post - have a look-see.

We could use more heat this winter. Ive got that heater running like a greyhound. I already told P that he'll have to upgrade the air system before summer.

Ya bro - like I said, I don't think any of mine are keepers. Maybe Im greedy but I want keepers that are the extreme of their type - soaring high, knockout stone. 'Daytime smoke' is everything else. I think beans are the way to go. By all means, grow clones of what rocks your socks. All others pass on.

Heres NWT from the new year or there abouts. 4 gal pot.

wildgrow, I haven't moved yet... still stuck here for now, and even worse... can't grow while waiting for rental inspections to come through...

it just sucks I had a nice run ready to be flipped when I made the call the pull em all out due to my paranoid ass... but the way I see it now, that all would have been harvested by now anyway... oh well you lose some you win some...

I just need to make sure I win the next one...

It does suck big time! But I will get through it!

YES! All new beans I have so many to choose from, it's going to be quite the challenge picking what to pop but that's what you guys are for! I will start a fresh thread when I come back!

As for the walk in closet, I have one now, I am just too scared to use it, and even more scared to cut holes in walls lol

Awesome man! I know you bought a lot of beans :biggrin:

Taking seed plant shots now. For anyone interested in such shots, stay tuned!
