You know what's missing from 'Mr Tambourine Man'? Percussion.
Needs more jingle-jangle machine gun fire.
At Bob.

'EeeEEEeeeeverybody must get stoned', eh?
If it's Bob who's getting stoned, make it chunks of granite.

Yep, we've encountered FloraNova quite a lot recently in this thread. Is is indeed part organic and incompatible with H2O2. If your system presently has a big pathogen load, hit it once with 50% H2O2 @ 5ml/L or 35% @ 8.5ml/L then return to usual dosage ever 3-4 days.
I just put a new batch of rooted clones in tray 1; that's the one I'm dropping to 1000. When it comes to wk5, I'll mix that tank with PK @ 1ml/L, ck EC & add Flores to raise it to 1400ppm.
And here's a question you can answer for me; was the Travelling Wilburys the only good work Zimmerman ever did, and mostly because you can't hear much of him? >

I was going to wait until I fixed the goo before I asked, BUT one plant is up and leaves pointing at the light in the morning, but by 6 or 7 at night ( around 16 hours of light) the leaves are dropping, but than in the morning they look good again.What I mean Is as the day goes on they look worse. Am i over watering? I flood 4 times in 16 hours, for 4 min each flood. Plants are 3 weeks from seed, they have 6 sets of leaves and are about 4 " tall. They started in 1.5 RW and are in hydrotron, and they are 1/2" above flood line.I know I should take pics, and I will but that will take all day. Different shots at different times. With-out pics, off the top of your head , what do you think.

Al, thanks alot.. I'm going to buy the H202 today! My roots are tannish and beige.. The Res is cloudy also.. I will follow your steps to the tee and let you know. I just gotta figure out the Per Liter thing here and convert to gallons. Thanks for the Help!

Fix the goo and the roots will recover- they're not keeping up with the foliar growth.
If his words make the songs, Zimmo should write books. It'd save my hearing and sanity, too.
That'll fix it.
Make friends with the metric system. It's INFINITELY easier to deal with litres & millilitres than oz, gallons and the dreaded teaspoon, which changes in size by country. I have two sets of teaspoon measures in my kitchen, one set for US cookbooks, one for Australian.
1US gallon = 3.78L.
Al B. just wonered if you could comment.
as you know most growers tend to know growers.
i passed one of my mothers along to a close friends when i retired her and recently asked him how it was doing/did
he informed me that it had stunted pretty badly when he upon another of our local growers advice he removed every fan leaf on it.
i asked why in gods name he would do such a thing.
needless to say the local grower who gave this advice has 3 or 4 growers i know doing this.
and of course i am made to be the devil for suggesting that removing fan leaves, especially in great numbers is bad bad bad.
what are your thoughts on this practice as it seems to be rampant in my area

Fan leaves are the food factories for the plant. They are where the carbs that get assembled into cellulose to build the plant are made. Remove them and the plant will stunt badly, but I reckon that won't surprise anyone much, particularly not your leaf-pickin' mates.
Removing fan leaves with the intent of 'directing energy into budding' is a wives tale and pretty obviously doesn't work.

why would this shop owner ever think this was a good idea for an already stunted plant. I could understand lollipoping it if she was deep into flower but that, even down to the basics doesnt make any sense to do.
some old time growers actually belive that fan leaves not only block light to the rest of the plant but that they are also a waste of the plants energy to grow.
i however know better, i just seem to be fighting a losing battle
hell he probably has them using molasses too.
i think i'll just keep my good practices to myself and let the old timers keep on with their wives tales

That is in fact, quite a lump of a tstat Mr. Fuct, as I only need to make 10-15 at a time, it shouldn't get in the way. I will also get the thermister into the right place.
That setup is only for testing the hygrometer. I have read your thread on cloning very closely and will absolutely not saturate my rockwool.
There is a heat mat under the tray and I don't have the thermostat for it yet. I will test the setup for correct temp before starting to clone.
All the trays that I looked at had these channels in the bottom. But a diligent search I am sure will find me one without channels.
Thanks once again for your time and expert eye on my setup.
You are truly a Ganja Guru.

Americans are too dumb and arrogant to figure out the metric system.

You'd have to be from the part of the old school known as 'wrong' to believe that. I'm from the old school college referred to as 'proven and reliable.'
Smart cookie.
Not so! Don't forget that I was an American 30-odd years before I was an Australian. If I can do metric, anyone can. I just prefer to think in powers of 10 than try to remember how many arcane units are in each arcane unit.
I DO think there should be a 'metric foot' at 300mm and a 'metric inch' at 25mm, tho.
Oh yah, dat's it, bro.
Sheeit, mofo, we be gangbangin'. Too right.
One thing for sure, cups & teaspoons are not measures with well-defined international standards.
I thought pickled peppers were packed in pecks by pickled pepper packin' peckers.

LMAOOh yah, dat's it, bro.
a page or two back, i asked you on your temps, thanks for the weather report, but i was more concerned with the outside hot temps affecting your grow room. how does it work out then, is the exhaust and intake working full time?
where did you go to school here in the states?
Al B. Fuct
once had a dog named
Well, the point I was trying to get across, without being too specific about my location, is that there's places in Aus where the ambient air temps are never high enough to be a problem.
If your room's tstat is set for 25C, when the ambient air available to draw in is above that figure, the exhaust blower will run all the time.

im curious in nature, not a cop.
what was your career before the accident, journalist or engineer. and how the fuct did you go from an engineer to a journalist.
from seed, whats the earliest you can take a clone off a little guy.
heres a joke i just read on maxim
a man walks into a bar and says to the bartender, "give me 13 margaritas."
The bartenders says, "wow, that's quite an order. Whats the occasion?"
the man replies, "well im celebrating my first blow job"
"that is something to celebrate. tell you what, how about one more on the house?" says the bartender
the man replies, "no thanks. if 13 doesnt get the taste out of my mouth, nothing will."
