[Roobarb]

Hi Luciferateme. They seem pretty good so far. All germed easily. I have never grown NL before
(I've smoked my share though) but the proof is in the pudding
and all that. Only just flipped so will report in a few weeks

 

[luciferateme]

yes keep us informed roo, i might give them a go on future grow. i know its a lovely smoke alright but not seen too much of queen seeds.

if your looking for anything to do on your next grow roo try dinafems critical jack, they have them nirvana. im gonna give there critical plus next. have to pick them up this week sometime. only thing id say about the jacks is they are nute sensitive and they smell a lot!

I checked my girls today, magnesium deficiencies were starting to get to be a bit of a joke, I'd been holding off feeding cos they were so small but I gave them a 3/4 feeding earlier today and I'll check them tomorrow morning and see what colour we're talking.

Im NEVER reusing old soil again, and I'll be planting jiffy plugs straight into their final pots...now that Iv tried the "proper" start in small pots and transplant shite it's just not for me.

Haha loved it, but love all the marvel ones. Cant wait, going to see avengers on saturday in 3d haha the kid in me kang.

Lol i dident mind thor i thought it was ok but iron man and the hulk and captain twat is gonna stink that movie out hehe am waiting on the new batman and the hobit

 

[luciferateme]

thanks kang now i know what avengers is, the one with all the heros in!

har reusing old soil is a bitch, dont know if you remember i did it once and it was a knightmare correcting defs. will never go down that road again. only thing that did my head in was getting rid of the old soil but ive got that sorted now, hope they come on a bit for you tomorrow.

 

[dave gilmour]

is there any reason why you cant reuse coco since its inert. 86 you lucky bastard gettin your weed delivered!. i think ill just let the plants dry a few days then transplant and flush at the same time. i increased the rhizotonic from 2 to 4ml per litre cos its made up of just trace elements but now i cant help thinking thats whats caused my problems.

It was Biobizz soil that I vegged plants in for like 2-3 weeks, then I'd to cut them due to "unforeseen circumstances" so I thought itd be groovy, apparently not.

The Terra Vega will sort them out tho, I'm expecting delicious emerald green plants tomorrow (bar some leaves that are just fucked )

 

[ae86 grower]

har .... you cheap skate, ah no thats a cunt the soil and all, but seeing as there still small would you not consider changeing it? let them get really dry as daves doing and transplant into better soil?

lu have you not seen the avengers assemble trailer? lokks awesome, same with new spidey...

 

[ae86 grower]

and dave.. yes its very rare that these days someone would do that, a really buddy that guy i can tell you, i`ll keep him sweet when the time comes....

I already replanted into Canna Terra Professional Plus, but the old leaves on some are a bit fucked, nearly all of the new growth is perfect but I like keeping them 100% green

I also left the lid slightly ajar on my propagator...so my clones are looking a bit "sad" but they should be due their roots soon anyways so it'll all be about the new growth on them

 

[ae86 grower]

i need to maximize the light from my cfl`s... now i`ve trimmed some fan leaves about a month ago, but i need to clip more to let the light really penetrate to the lower branch`s, there so thick again..

opinions lads!!! will i mess them up if i take too much, obvious i`m just clipping the min to get light to base flowers like??

Fuck trimming leaves man, if anything with a lack of penetration being a problem, either SCROG or lollipop those mofo's to get a nice flat canopy of horizontal rater than vertical branches. You want to get as much of those U tubes as close to as much foliage as possible, maximise lumens and surface area...and with poor penetration, dont try penetrate, lol. Iv had 1.25 litre bottle sized buds off Easyryders from a vertical 200w CFL being centimetres away from a few plants.

 

[ae86 grower]

maybe i am been too fussy with it har... just overthinking it, you think.....

got some lemmon "something or other" seeds, think there regs, the dude wasn`t very sure, have them in tissue now just going to gurilla them around the place and see how they go......

 

[ae86 grower]

and can you go into lollypopping a bit more?

I have been unable to watch any of the spidey movies because it is just so gay and faggy i cant take it serious, its only for 8 year olds!!! lord of the rings fan up in here! thats as close to a kids film as ill go

 

[Harrekin]

and can you go into lollypopping a bit more?

Just basically trim off any lower branches (not necessarily fan leaves) I think usually the bottom 1/3 of the plant, its gives a nice bonsai sort of flat canopy to focus CFL/HPS/anything light on, but because its got more surface area facing the bulb with virtually 0 penetration required it can do all it needs to do.
