Eye up boys,long time no see.
Anybody growning in coco know the best way to to administer garden lime if the plants don't need watering?
I've got some Sensi Seeds Skunk #1 that were born on new years day and are still only about 5 inches tall (on with the 4th true node) and about 10 inches wide max,real bonsai motherfuckers (I think the problem is shitty coco bricks,you live and learn).
They have just recovered from an Mg def via watering with Mg nitrate (pure epsom salts) but now the last few days have gradually developed a Calcium def (black spots at the pointy bits on the leafs).
I've got hold of some garden lime to try fix them up before it causes real problems,thing is they don't need watering for about another 4 days so is it ok to try and foiler feed them the lime (is this really beneficial if so what quantitys to water? how long till they show improvement?) or wait untill they are due for the next feed and water it in the regular way (risking the problem getting worse untill then,if so what quantitys to water,how long till shown improvement?).
cheers guys.

Yes mate totally gutted lol, 100 quid in seeds down the pan still you live and learn. They wernt worth saving although they had started to bud i was just too pissed off and yanked them fuckers out there into a black baq lol. And mog mate youve read my mind, my next grow in that cab will be a scrog, no shit been thinking about it for a few days now

I've got a bag of bag seeds in the fridge which I'm going to go for a walk with soon and just chuck somewhere and see what happens

Haha that'll look mental mate, I'd have to stop myself climbing in there for a lay down!

don't sound good mate wouldn't think foliar feeding lime is a good idea (IMO), isn't it pretty caustic?

can you just remove them and flush with the lime/water mix and then wait a little longer till next watering?

Not a coco grower mate only NFT/DWC but ive grown sensi sknunk #1 for a few years now and shes a hardy girl, personaly i would just flush through with a complete nutes dose and check the PH run off. 9 times out of ten its a PH issue

wanna cut down on plant numbers, 10 or so. I rekon 4 in that cab scroged would be good then 2 each in those diy cabs ive mine, Have to check out some scrog threads though

 

[jimmygreenfingers]

I threw some seeds i had kept for years out my kitchen window into the back graden once (thought they were all duds as i had tried to germ half the batch and none cracked) a while later some came up on the lawn lol, fucking couldnt belive it.

yup time to get the study on bit of diy as well for the screens, either that or just buy a load of cake cooling racks and attach to a frame

Yeah thought how to convert it, some 3x2s, MDF and some draw runners and im away. Gonna have it so the whole thing slides in and out the cab so as to reach the back of the screen. Ill get rid of the hydro system that came with it a run an a NFT. The more i think about it the more i like the idea, just gotta pick the right strain.

sounds like a nice little project mate, wondering if any of the autos would be a good idea? (now that they're meant to be coming along), or whether a Sativa strain would be worth it?

 

[jimmygreenfingers]

Vortex by subcool is one i really wanna do. It will all be guess work though as i wont have grown the strain before so no idea when to lip to 12/12

still amazes me the amount of strains I've never heard of lol!

 

[jimmygreenfingers]

I tend to stick with particlar breeders like DNA genitics, dinafem, and now subcool as they have some real good reviews of late, so many strains though its difficult to choose what to grow.

I'll have to have a look at Subcool, my blue widows atm are Dinafem. On a different note I could so do with a break to the Dam at the mo lol, got a bloody christening (godfather at), my bday, mates 30th Brighton birthday weekender and nephews first birthday all in March, bros stag do (best man) in June, the wedding in July and then I should be free! Been 2 years since last visit!

 

[jimmygreenfingers]

God, aint been to the dam in donkeys gotta be 10 years since i was last there if not longer, fuck did i spunk some money over there lol. yeah check out subcools strains gonna do a few myself

 

[del66666]

wish i could send you all some seeds, you really would like my bubblebomb

I think I'll give that a go,I'm not too bothered if they live they're nearly 2 months old and about as tall as a coke can and about as wide as 2. I got some House And Garden Batmix soil yesterday and i've ordered some "Nemesis" seeds from "Cut Price Fems" (£3 a bean free postage,needed something cheap and quick cos the £4000 credit card is kicking my arse!), I'm gonna chuck the "Nemesis" in for 2 weeks veg and flower them and the skunk #1 at the same time,whatever I get off the Skunk is a bonus (or I'll make bubble hash with it).
What's the finished product like on the Sensi Skunk #1 Jimmy? I might get some more for next time (sticking with organics from now on,then I know exactly were I stand),one of the 4 I have has perfect symmetry and I mean PERFECT! I got the tape measure out the other day and measured it, I'd love to clone it for breeding but I don't think they would survive (would only get 1 clone,maybe 2).

Oh and some advice boys,don't ever buy a Hydrolab Grow tent. Pile of shit,cheap plastic corners (broke 3 setting it up,shatter as soon s you look at them!),shoddy stitching (were it's actually finished!) looks like a pin cushion with the light on I set it up then had to go round with black duct tape to cover all the holes.

that long in and that size you may as well mate, have a look at the build in my sig mate, not light proof without adding mylar/foil/etc to each face but at £30 damn site cheaper than the equivalent tent, if not a bit ghetto

lol can be done, last time i went was more a beer fest than smoke, felt like I wasted it but as Arnie says I'll be back. DO you reckon we could get some discounts on an RIU organised trip lmao!!!!

will do mate, I need to get some new beans after my next grow

Skunk#1 is a fav of mine and all my mates, cant really go wrong with this strain most who smoke it like it. Nice old school skunky taste and smell, roll on harvest day
