To those that subscribe and receive email when new content is posted to this thread, I apologize that you received dez13 comment notifications. It is obvious from the posts, that it is Japanfreak, who is undergoing some time away for being a general jack ass and troll on the forums. He is mad at me for being the one to flag his messages that violated the terms of service at RIU. He was actively involved in e-fights in about 4 threads, calling people names, telling people their ideas were stupid, etc., a real winner. Though the posts from Your Troll (also Japanfreak) have been removed, Japanfreak threatened to create endless throw away accounts to harrass me until I quit RIU. That is his stated goal.

I'm asking my friends to keep an eye out for Japanfreak in the future. Some of you may have received a PM advising of such. If you so much as see him pick a fight, call someone a name, make harrassing posts, etc., please feel free to flag the post and report it for violating terms of the forums. He'll be back online under Japanfreak screen name in 6-7 days. In the meantime, please ignore his tripe posts in this thread, regardless of what name he is posting under. Currently he is using dez13 and who knows what other screen names.

great journal and big reps, I have learned some good info already..
I grow in a similar way being I would bend the plant or even do the pinch thing and then bend it at that point, is this maybe sorer on a plant? than topping it, know both ways makes a much bigger/wider plant, although i havent used a screen yet, i will definitly be using one next tim,e

All those trolls can suck a fat one as far as I'm concerned. I click out of threads without reading very far or posting on a regular basis to avoid shit heads and this japan guy happens to be on a lot of those. I've seen many a decent thread ruined by jerk-offs like him. The best thing we can all do that far too many people are not : ignor him. No, not the ignor button. Just pretend he isn't there. That's it. If he doesn't get a response to his bullshit he'll scoop it up and move on. It's hard for some of us to just plain ignor dick heads like that, but no matter how wrong he is and how right we are there is no justified response to him. None. No matter what evil stupid things he has to say. He is out-right begging for attention and getting to all of us while doing so. If we all just forgot he was here and pretend like he still isn't he will go away. Remember, this is the internet :-D

Serepis did you go with the caliber3 hygrometers or another brand,I went with them and crossing my fingers seems early on all great reviews then more recent lots of unhappy customers. I am going to try the perfect cure i read about on IC MAG.

I went with Eco Reptile hygrometersIt's a hard plastic case item, about 2.5" in diameter.

I'm with you on the cure. So far, I've been able to keep a half gallon mason jar at 67% for 3 days. My RH is 52%, so that helps. This stuff is smelling sweeter by the day. I reluctantly took out an eigth, explaining it wasn't done and they loved it. It smelled awesome.

Very nice,now that i am doing medical and not just personal i felt i need to be spot on,and the cure seems equally important after this first complete cycle next will be much less stressfull. It has been funny first afraid of losing my seed in the farm then scared of a hermie next chopping at the right time hoping i flushed right,then cure properly. Anyhow the new clones in the farms are looking great roots are already popping out the bottom,and i think you made a good decision on flipping I missed 1 day of training and i cracked 2 branches trying to pull them under and said thats enough on my pe the roots were blocking up my air supply i had to pull the tube out and clean some roots out to get it dripping better that was scary cause that bottom piece came off luckily a coat hanger fished it back up glad thats over. By the way your plants look great i am sure you made the right choice flipping.

It pays to be attentive:

Do you remember last week when I wrote about my temps hitting 93 and realizing my inline 160 cfm fan for the light hood had expired? Had I not been paying attention to my tent's environment, I could have easily lost the crop.

Today while tending to the scrog and reworking some grow tips, I looked up at my light, expected to be blinded, and lo and behold, the glass lens is filthy. Now mind you, I never touch it between bulb changes, and even then, I always wipe off any prints.

Well, I guess it had been awhile since I looked at the inside pane of the lens, because it was covered in dust! My inline fan at the other end was pulling in fresh unfiltered air from my room, and with it, dust. There is no telling how many lumen were lost during the last 5 days. But I caught it early in flowering and hope it has diminished my yield. If anything, I might have lost a day in flower time.

I'm merely writing this to show that it pays to pay close attention to your grow and your environment, and equipment. I know to pay attention to the plant and study the leaves for any signs of problems, but I need to constantly remind myself to check timers, make sure all fans are operating, the hood glass is clean, that the exhaust and hood fans are in good working order.

I'm going to have to either rig up a 6" diam. filter, or go buy some thigh high panty hose and fashion one. I should probably filter my passive intake as well. I occasionally find a stray dog hair inside.


Update:


The plants are looking great. The flower cycle flip stretch is one, big time. The PPM is up to 1600 as I've introduced Open Sesame to the nutrient mix. The PH has dropped a bit down to 5.6 from 5.8, however that is due to the plant's consumption of nutrients, I really don't want to go much higher, even though the plant is signaling it's OK. Babylicious is the offender mostly, as I have to add fresh nutes to her res each day. The other plant is going steady and some days just gets fresh water. She isn't as big as her sister yet.


The new Waterfarm arrived yesterday. The Reserva Pravada Kandy Kush UFO germed somewhat in the Rapid Rooter, but I have removed it and placed the seed and tap root directly on the hydroton and I have a small irrigation dike made with tin foil directing drips over the seed. I hope this seed takes. After 5 days in the rooter, I began poking around a bit and saw the tap root, so I misted the rooter and placed it back in the dark dome. 3 days later, the tap root is still bright white, but it has gone nowhere.



Since going hydro and switching to rapid rooters for germination, I have had nothing but trouble. I have had 2 seeds do nothing, one seed grew the tap root straight up until it was almost 1/2". I was able to save the seedling by removing it from the plug and placing it on the hydroton in the farm. I went through the trouble of buying a heating mat, a nice hard plastic 6" high tray and dome, getting rapid rooters, and still I have trouble germing seeds in these damn things. I had trouble with peat pellets too and gave up on those all together.


When growing in soil, I always used a seed starter and solo cups and had nearly a 100% germ rate. My germ rate for rapid rooters is about 20%. What the fuck am I doing wrong? I'm beginning to think Rapid Rooters suck for seeds. Please don't advise me to use paper towels and a zip lock. I can get a tap root going just fine in the rooters. I just want help making the rapid rooters work. I PH water, I soak, I shake excess, I place seed about 1/4" deep, maybe a tad deeper, at most, 3/8" from surface. I use no nutes. I leave rooter in 1/4" water, as instructed on package to prevent the rooter from drying out.

I do the exact same thing pretty much. Are you putting a seedling and plug in the waterfarm or a seed with a root?
