Al B. FAQt

will i traumatize my plants when i switch them out of the rain forest 2 the ebb n flow??? and i only want to use the 400 watt hps for like 2 weeks then ill replace it with a mh or stick with the hps watt and just get cheap floros for when i start cloning like 4 60 watts???

Where I live not all the time but most of it, whites are whom ever wants to buy has to get what we can get. The blacks are always saying its dro, its dro. Its shit, its shit, but you have pay $80 american to $100 for oz. This all one can get here cuz for some weird reason were a main traveling spot for every thing but nothing usuall good stops just keeps on going. Everything is shit here. Now don't get me wrong it will get you high-then the munchies.

Is there a strain that puts off the munchies?

lol i was kidding chumli yaz is birth control for women it would robably just hurt your plants if it did anything

the only problem i had with my meter was i couldnt get it to calibrate to exactly 7 and 4 i dont know if it was from fresh water being on probe but it says to keep probe wet i got it callibrated to .1 over on the low and the high end. i can deal with a one tenth variation . and it might have just been cuz i never calibrated one before as well.

Yes; try 'Old Spit & Vomit' from Bulimia Seeds.

I'd lean toward the 'wouldn't do anything to the plant' notion.

A brand new pH meter probe should be soaked for several hours in plain water before use. If after that (and keeping your probe tip wet with a bit of damp sponge in the meter cap) your meter can't be calibrated to the cal soln properly, something's amiss. It ought to snap right to the cal soln value.

Hey Al, do you have a link for Bulimia Seeds? I tried to search the bank and the strain, but no luck. I am a skinny guy, so I may need the munchies, but that is a strain I think could sell like crazy. If I sold or stuff like that. LoL

Yeah, think of all the stoned supermodels!

Folks, I'm gonna be scarce for a day or two. My ADSL is fuct, drops connection every 10 mins for about 5 mins each time... and the buttheads at the telco say they can't get to the problem until Thursday.

See you when I can!

Oh my god "old spit and vomit from bulimia seeds"
That was a good one!!!!!

Wait, wait then the guy actually tries to look it up, hilarious!

well, I was kinda hoping that Kaos was just playing along (with the 'gag' )... but.. anything's possible.

Yeah I was playing, lol. Would be pretty damn cool.

Hey Al .. I know you dont like evap. coolers for the problems they can create .. but the air here is dryer than a popcorn fart and with out my evap running 18 hrs a day it would be impossibe for me to douplicate your op.. i can barley keep rh at 50- 55 % runnig all day ... I have had to experement with different flow thru but got it down now.. gonna be 106 here tomorrow ... just a thought for those who cant run air con.

WTF are you talking about, bugs? Lost me.


sorry man just fuckin around...wtf i was talkin' about was...just being overly dramatic about me missing the boat on you flooding more often. now it has me worried that i should be flooding more often (running pots filled w/floc in the bottom then chunky perlite the rest of the way.) than once a day.

Hahaha, Well I was being serious cuz I don't know what good shit your smoking but where Im at as soon as you get done smoking the munchies come. Im talking less than 10 min. I think thats a waste of weed and as matter fact money. When it cost you $80 dollars an ounce give are take for shit, and thats all they have, WTF else can you do except ask questions? Maybe just any strain better than shit would work. I don't know the only thing I have had better than shit was purp, and orange kush.

Yeah, I thought you were.

'Old Spit 'n' Vomit' would be a disaster for me! I'd smoke myself into a wisp of my former self.

holeeee fuck, poor you! We had a 45.3C day here on 1/1/2007 that I will remember to the end of my days. Even my keyboard was too hot to touch. You gotta do what you gotta do- with your conds, a swamp cooler is just the ticket.

You probably can get away with flooding more often than 1x/day in perlite. The layer of floc in the bottom being saturated isn't a concern. By the time a plant is large enough to have roots down there, it's large enough to suck out a significant proportion of the stored water in 24h. I'd expect perlite to act a lot like Fytocell. I flood my pots of Fytocell with the layer or RW in the bottom 3x/day for advanced plants, 2x/day for plants in wk 1-2 of flowering. Bump it up for your more mature plants, see how you go.

fuck, if you can get decent buds (not seedy, leafy Mexican commercial shit) for $80/oz- turn me ON! Can't touch an oz around here for less than 400 unless you know a grower- and even if you are well connected, you won't pay less than 300.

It's the seedy, leafy Mesican commercial shit if not lower than that.

"Can't touch an oz around here for less than 400 unless you know a grower- and even if you are well connected, you won't pay less than 300."

Is that for good stuff, than thats about the same thing here.
I just want a good buzz or high for atleast an hour before the munchies, are pass out from it. I did when I smoke purp the first time.

I think I want what every pot head wants, the way it felt to get high those first two years of smoking.

Hey Al.,Can You Use Apple Cider Vinegar For PH Down In A Pinch????,,,,In A Aeroponic System....

hell ya man ...the early years were awesome...i remember cleaning stems and seeds out of a dime with a buddy of mine when i was 16 or so....(30ish now al dont worry)
then lookin at him with all seriousness goin'...dude, were gonna smoke this whoooole pile man...like it was a pound or something!! too funny....good times, thanks for the reminder man.

oh thanks for the reply al...i'll give the extra watering a go and let ya know.

that reply was to you chum

Yea, me and a freind onetime could get anybody to hit the huge ass bowl on a fourway shroom bong name dopy, so we hit that SoB pluging the other end up. I took all the smoke in cuz I was still a rookie. Uwee! I couldn't stop coughing, then afterwards I was damn H I G H!

It's actually pretty hard to buy bad weed around here. The big outdoor farmers are low-hanging fruit to LEO. They get more headlines when they can claim a 10,000 plant farm was busted as opposed to some poor sod with 10 plants in a closet, so outdoor shit is really hard to come by anymore- but it still can be had. Might be 200-250 when good indoor buds are at least 300 and usually 400- and most folks would rather pay more and get good nugs.

Ah, I see. You're looking for more of a head buzz. Schwaggy shit that couchlocks you and puts you right into munchieville often has been stored badly (often too warm, above 29C) and some of the d9-THC has been converted into less- or non-psychoactive cannabinoids like cannabidiol (CBD), known to cause lethargy.

You have a couple of options. Grow your own from the schwag seeds and dry/store it better. It'll get you a buzz closer to what you want, just by being handled better. Plan B is to grow your own from good DNA from a seedbank- you might prefer a sativa dominant hybrid if you want more of a headbuzz. Sativa doms are not as popular because they don't yield as heavily and take longer to mature, but it may be just what you want.

I did when I smoke purp the first time.

Be careful. Genetically purple buds are verrrrrrrrrrrry rare. 99% of the time you see purpled buds, it's due to nutrient deficiencies (phosphorus in particular, molybdenum less frequently) which might be induced by pH errors. If you see a purple bud, it most likely came from a sick plant and probably won't be the strongest herb you ever smoked.

I think I want what every pot head wants, the way it felt to get high those first two years of smoking.

Try smoking less frequently. You'll get a better buzz off less herb if you leave about 3 days between smoking.

No! Vinegar is a product of fermentation. The only thing that keeps it fermenting more is the acidity of the final product. Dilute it and it just might start fermenting again. If you use vinegar, you will see clouds of gacky goo growing in your tanks in about 3 days, notably attached to any hoses or objects in the nute soln. Definite no-no.

The name of your bong always makes a big difference. Always pick something very stonerfied.
