Nugs- What (if anything) are you using to bring up your pH after adding the GO Ca/Mg+? That stuff is really acidic.

good question......if there is sufficient dolomite in the mix, then you do not need to bring it up......my well water is 200 PPM and 7.4...so if i feel like the R/O and cal/mg is swinging the balance, i would just water a time or two with my well water....when soil growers say you don't need to worry about PH...what they mean is if you have dolomite as a buffer, it will keep the PH around neutral if using acidic additives......but here is the deal....dolomite will not bring the PH back down if you are watering/feeding above neutral.....and growers will get into trouble with this...it has happened to me and others who had unforeseen fluctuations in their well water PH, and their medium became alkaline, thus locking out......

i agree, one my favorite attributes about TGA is how quickly the Sativa dom. phenos finish......i seriously can pull my Vortex at 48 days, and it will be 15% amber.....Sub was brilliant in choosing JTR and SQ as breeders through the years, as they both can finish early and contribute to overall early finish times in their hybrids.

Yeah I am glad to hear you say that....I have a pheno of Chenobyl that looks 10% amber and it is just 48 days...I thought something wierd was happening!!! The other phenos (the 4 of 5) look like they still have two or three weeks to go...

Do a partial just harvest top half of plant let the rest go another week or so.

Started trimming the ML plants because the rain was giving them some grief! Found 2 seeds in the Mulanje Bubblegum. The BG pheno was so sticky it gummed up my scissors!

The drying room now smells like bubblegum catpiss!


Pictures of the ML flowers remaining:







Can't wait to ML the Mulanje x MozPoz seeds! :)



Cheers,
Mo

Man that's crazy how fast those branches bounce back and get up right after bending em over like that. Must be vegging well, Nugs! Looking like you got conditions dialed in for sure in that soil mix!! DUB

A frickin' lesson in scientific growing! Can't wait to try this indoors!



There really is a pot of gold at the end of the rainbow:

You are AWESOME NUGS !! Not only for such pics that are eye-popping and makes each one of us drool :-) But also for sharing such knowledge with us. A lot of guys would prolly hold this close to their chest, but you share your gift, so that we can take a stab at it as well. I must ask a question though .... how long did it take you to master your main-lining technique? Trust me I am trying, but not quite there :-)

Again, Thanks so much Nugs for the sharing :-)

thanks bro, i have worked with plant and wood fiber my whole life, both living and dried, so manipulation comes natural to me, but ML'ing is really easy.....next time, before you throw a male in the compost, practice your bondage on him, you can learn an awful lot in a short time.

Man.... I am SO bummin looking at that pic of the fruity pebs..... The other night I went down to find nanners on mine..Right @ the end of week 4.... right when you cant live with em.... I plucked them and tried to pretend it wasnt happening to that one but I went back in yesterday to find more coming out of the main colas like its their job to be there... So...... she/he's getting the axe tonight... I was bent over it... Man, if I didnt know better I'd try and keep that bitch, I literally lost sleep over that plant last night. Of all the phenos and strains I have going this was the one I wanted out of all of them.. I have one more AOS (2 total left, one same amount of time in 12/12 as the she/male... with no nanners) that I just flipped on the 28th so I'm hoping shes got something special for me aside from a pair of nads... Not something I look for on my women.. That one has super wide/indica leaves compared to any of the others so I'm hoping shes leaning hard to the BCS.... but that pheno that hermed is something amazing, I cant even describe what it smells like I'm so overloaded when I try to sit there smelling it to figure it out. I'm gonna run a cutting of that AOS in a 2 gallon pot again just to make sure I didnt screw it up in that 5 gallon pot or with my pruning methods even though I dont think I'm to hard...., I'll find out if its root bound tonight when I hack it... A severe blow to my garden.... I was so hoping that one would make it, so far the biggest buds, heaviest resin production, and the best smells AND lets not forget that pink/purple coloring... SUCKS....

dude, that blows.....i have run 3 different phenos of ACE and have not had any monkey food at all, and this last FP ace i stressed the shit out of with a soil mix she just hated...and not even a late stage nanner......she dis get some PM though, i figure her defenses were a bit low....but i whacked her with some baking soda/neem/soap, with the atomizer and got rid of it.......hoping your other phenos are stable, and dank....nugs
