I use the pumps to keep the Organics in suspension., but they add a lot of heat. You could add a mag 5/7 to yours and not worry about it to cool anymore.

I tried it once .... raised the PH on me daily & had to keep readjusting . no pump & my PH takes 5 days before it needs adjusting .

the pump raised your ph??. I don't have that problem. I have read that many adjust there ph before they use it. Do you not want to do that ?? you jut want to set it to what you use and leave it. I grow in a soil mix. my rez will drop PH after a week with the air stones running. This is normal . I will add ph up until im back in my zone then use it. takes about a week to lower back down to 5.5.

If yo get a lot of air mixed into your water wit hthe pump this will alter the ph. It normally goes down though ???

:dunno: dunno brutha .... but yeah it would go from 5.6 where i set it to 6.5 by the next morning & i had to keep ph ing it down everyday ... i took the pump out & it slowly raises to 6.0 or 6.1 after 4 to 5 days & thats when my rez needs refilling anyways .

that's odd brother. Should be the reverse. Even if I take out my pumps the ph will still drop over the same time. The pumps in my case are no effect on anything, just moving the water and adding o2 when I want some.


I just picked up some of BODHI GOGI OG :). Was told these are where anyone should start when doing BODHI for there first strain.

Care to tell where you got them?

Here's a pic I took last night. Forgive the lack of white balance. You can see how I just didn't get the stretch out of the GG#4 on the right of the top tray.

The next batch was a "normal" stretch, on the left of that tray.

Just no vigor on the gg's for me this round. I'll run it a few more times to see if I can dial it in.

:tumbleweed:third,gorilla glue is a desert girl,i dont think she likes the cold very much...


after spending some time playing around with the camping gear i think im well set,i wanted a kit small enough to fit a day trip size backpack and i can fit a tent,ground pad,sleeping bag and stove no problem with some room to spare....stretched across several bike packs i should be able to do 2-3 days with everything on the bike and a pack...
or,i can haul a weeks worth of stuff with the ogre+trailer combo...:dance013:

trailer is all pimped out now,got water bottle cages for it and found an led light kit for cheap and a rear flasher...i may have to get one of those speakers now for the mp3 player like doc said,that would be mega pimpin!

That makes sense .... but i bet its got more to do with what nute brands more than just being mixed daily . some nutes will stay mixed fine , others will seperate & fall out of suspension into the bottom of the rez , so your not getting the full dose of nutes unless you use a pump like PF does .

i agree about the fresh mixed,but then again my nutes dont hold well in a rez at all and the only time i used chem nutes there was no rez anyway so i had to mix up like 3 times a day to keep the plants fed,but that was a really shitty garden with a bad strain...

its funny now i have to sort of pay attention to my states politics since the legalization question may come up as soon as this year,in that case im wondering if i should even bother upgrading to a new room since this one does work just fine and for the same money i could have a nice greenhouse set up and be one step ahead of the game...i kinda think its going to be a while yet before anymore states jump on the bandwagon,more like 2016...to give the politicos time to grease the wheels for their buddies and they have a couple of years of data from colo and washington,in that case doing the upgrades does make sense because there will still be a couple good years of gettin before things change,plus they may allow 6 plants in flower for med patients....seems like i can get 1 1/2 pounds per big plant no problem with little practice at it,with 6 plants that would be roughly 2 lbs a month.....that would keep the lights on,and pay for the house in 2 years....

I've been saving my bike trailer since the young one is no longer small enough to fit in it and always thought it would be good for camping like you are doing. Haven't done that yet but I did put plywood and blankets in it and put my relatively unsocialized pug in it for a ride in the park. She did okay but barked a lot. That last plant turned out well unc, to say the least. The GG4 is very photogenic.

No experience here, but I have wondered how quick nutes would degrade after being mixed? Plan to automate my watering with a pump and drippers, but still plan on making up nutes pretty fresh as in small batches.

Time to take a peek in the tent and see if another plant may be ready to come down tonight.

From Jaws right ? i have alien rose , alien soda & a Dojo Fighter .... but no alien dojo's
& i haven't grown any of those yet . i've grown the WSD , SD f2's & a pink dawg of his so far , tried the decap (5 seeds) & couldn't get them going , still have 5 left for another try . but i can say , the only ones i've ever had a problem with from him was the decaps .

I couldn't get those to pop either 20 seeds 10 f1's and 10 f2's. I have 5 of the Alien dojo's ix up , all germed 100%.

Good evening fellers.

Pf, I hope those Goji OGs dont get lost in your humongous pile of beans. I really would love to see you grow that out.
Ive always wanted that one. Bodhi made that cross from an OG cut that cost $20,000 per clone at one point. I know that doesnt necessarily mean anything... but... damn, right?
Im about to pop some of Bodhi's chem 91 x appy (the fuzz) and maybe something else from him.
I got 4 different phenos of Prayer Tower from clone, in flower right now. Im gonna try and pick the keeper... again.
Thats the biggest problem with bodhi's gear.. its hard as hell to eliminate any phenos.

Cant wait to see your Gojis brother:tiphat:

man,y'all need to get out on yer bike more often or something,way too many of you spending hospital time!

Unc I don't care how many hours I might have spent on a bike in the past, pretty sure none of it would have made me strong enough to take being T-boned by another car :moon:. Though if I was on a bike perhaps I wouldn't have been hit by some asshole running a red light :chin:. Either way, I'm an old prick, so i'll live forever :laughing:.
