Just a little late there jig lol. He got the trellis up already

My personal opinion with the cfl thing would be to go blue, already got 600w of red. jmo
Forgot to smoke my morning bowl! I'll just have to wait till after tea time!
Have a good one!

A few days late, but my thoughts on putting up a screen doesn't have to do with the screen or the plants so much, but how dangerous the installation is going to be. I couldn't move my plants before, so being able to get the screen around them without killing anything was the key. Not sure if that helps at all, but I wanted to give you my input.

Thanks Jig! You know I always appreciate your input. As I was installing the trellis I was thinking how easy it was, and how I was smart to do it now vs later. Trying to fit a bunch of swelling buds through it would have been a metaphorical beeeeoch. Hope all is well in Casa Jig!

That's what I was thinking. The only thing that had me hung up was that I've got a Hortilux in there, which is supposed to have more of the blue spectrum in it. What's a little more though? I think I'm gonna go pull the trigger on a 250w blue. From all I've seen, lots of peeps run the HPS/MH combo with great success.

Oh, and after researching Bud Candy a little more, I found that the reason it can't be called "Organic" is because it has Magnesium Sulfate in it, better known as Epson Salt. Some can be called organic, and some not. It's more because of a certification from what I can tell though. Lots of reports on the net of people wanting to drink the stuff, too. I guess it smells good? Crazy bastards. I'll just drink my coffee instead.

 

[whodatnation]

lol wtf drinking it? They can be my guest haha #darwin.

Id be more concerned about what stuff AN doesnt tell you thats in their products. Iv read enough fkd up shit about AN, I will never knowingly use a product of theirs.
But thats just me do yo thang bobobobobo!

 

[Bobotrank]

Reeeaalllly... now you have me totally pinned. I'll have to think about it today while I slave away at this computer, lol.

week 4 update

Here's what's going down...

Fan dies in my veg tent. Then fan dies in my flower tent. Literally a week within the same time. Veg tent starts to get PM from low air flow. I spray with Greencure, eradicating said PM, but some leaves got a little tinged on the tips. No biggie. I replace all fans, and get a new carbon filter, too. All is good again. Except...

In flowering land... I just put about a half gallon of super soil on both my Agent Orange and Lambsbread. Both were starting to show fade, and I don't have time to make a tea right now... not until later in the week, so they will have to wait until then. This will hopefully help in the interim until I can make them some super tea.

Lastly, in veg land... Here's a before shot of the crew. I had to run back upstairs for a min, at which point I left my camera up there, and therefore didn't get the after shots, but they're coming eventually. Everybody got topped, trimmed up, and looking good. My Blueberry has shot out two symmetrical nodes that will be a delight to mainline.

Enough blabber, on to the pictures.



Right side front is the suspect male p?xSB . . . the other one is a Choco Chunky Monkey... also very suspect.

 

[whodatnation]

Aint that a bitch! I always feel like stupid shit like that happens in groups, so your good to go lol I think most of what we buy nowadays is engineered to fail at a certain point... Did you buy both fans at the same time? Same brand?
Im sure the added SS will help and they should respond to some heavy tea when they get it.

That venting system looks trippy for some reason or it could be the bowls of hash iv been smoking I cant wait to be smoking bud again. yummy yummy!

Veg plants are coming along nicely So you seeing nuts on that thing or just going based off of what I said?
Bondage time!

 

[Bobotrank]

Same brand fan (Can Fan) and I got them pretty close to each other. They are supposed to have a 10 year on them. We will see once I take the first one back what they say. And yes, everything is engineered "disposable." It disgusts me... what happened to quality? I guess it just costs more.

I shot the venting system with a wide angle lens, so that probably contributes to the trippy fact. And you're stoned.

Me too.

No nuts yet... I think two of the three p? might be males actually. Shit... gotta make this quick.

Which tea would you use? Veg or flower for this?

 

[SpliffAndMyLady]

Yep you gotta add some sort of carbs with Budswell, or else you'll get mediocre results. This is a copy and paste from the organics section,

• First thing is first, when you just dump a bunch of organic matter into a pot you aren't doing shit. Well actually, more often than not all you're adding is shit, but anyway... The whole way that organics work is a process.​
  
  

Soma recommends Budswell so it's strange you weren't noticing good results. I would use Budswell(use bottle directions for proportions) and as your carb source Bud Candy(follow bottle directions), brew it throw in 2/3 kelp meal and couple tbs succant wouldn't hurt, and presto. Killer flowering tea. Do you have any Humic Acid lying around from making SS? If so throw in a couple tbs.

EDIT: and of course, ewc.

 

[whodatnation]

Might try a veg tea I guess

Hey Spliff. I actually haven't used the budswell yet this round... was trying to go with just water as long as possible, but that is a great idea about throwing it into some tea. I might have to give that a shot and see. It's always done great things for the flavor of my weed before. Thanks man!

This is what I was thinking, too... just wasn't sure if I was moving in the wrong path given my progress in flowering. They want more N... well, at least the Agent and the Lambsbread do. How many times you reckon I should hit them with it? 2x?

 

[Don Gin and Ton]

sup brobo! been a while man. liking the different shades in the canopy.

 

[Highlanders cave]

Yo donnie I feel like I'm following you around lol

Nice set up bobro what are your temps at?

 

[HiloReign]

Killa one you get going Bobo...

I'm, unfortunately, always late to the show. But this looks like an ending worth sticking around for...

Keep jammin'

 

[SpliffAndMyLady]

No problem Bobo! Ah yes, I don't use budswell but guano works great. Water only? Sounds tasty
Do you have any seabird guano around I would use that for a "veg" tea at this point. EWC alone are okay for seedlings. Also, throw a couple tbs of fish emulsion if you have; Earth Juice in tea's is fine. Always pH your tea's after brewing in the 4-7 range at least; 6.5 is ideal. Good luck and happy brewing!

Let me know how it goes, I thought I was subbed to this thread already. Oh well, got my seat back now! Peace broseph!

Couple times wont hurt

Yo donnie I feel like I'm following you around lol

Thanks HC mid 70s right now... Not sure about low's tho. Will have to check.

Killa one you get going Bobo...

Thanks Spliff. I definitely employ EWC throughout the whole process tho. Worms are the shit! Literally!

Yeah! That's what I'm thinking.

day 37 flower and veg from seed

I'm exhausted right now, so the picture update is going to have to wait until tomorrow. Been gone for a week, and just spent about 2 hrs working in the garden early this morning.

Flowering is looking good, minus that fade that's not surprisingly still going on. I'm brewing some good veg tea as we speak to hopefully put a hold on that. Agent Orange is wreaking When I open up the tent it is like a slap in the face.

Threw out all the clones that I had going, and made new ones. They'd all rooted, but since I was absent and didn't tell the babysitter to do anything with them, they started to turn.

Cleaned up a bunch in the veg tent... defoliated a ton. Still no sex on any of the kids from seed. They should be starting to show pretty soon I'd imagine.

I don't know why I'm even typing all this out without pictures to illustrate everything. You can just imagine for now I guess. I'm going to go take a shower and try to wake up. So. Tired.

 

[Medshed]

Thanks for the PM Bobo. Yer inbox is full FYI.

Highlander - I was asking Bobo for some detail on Romulan seeds that you may have had a hand in. Do you happen to know the story on those genetics? Some of the locals here are looking for a male to do a BX with a nice Rom cutting so she can be preserved in seed form.

Thanks
Med

 

[Bobotrank]

Thanks dude! All clear now

I'll go poke HC over at his place and see if I can lure him over.

 

[Bobotrank]

Ok, I couldn't wait to do an update, but alas, only veg pr0n for now. Hope it suffices until I can drop some real stuff tomoz. Everybody has been mainlined, and is ready to go. Some I left clones on, others not.

Med, btw, which Roms did you end up with? I believe the Rom 3 was more nute sensitive, but had the insane flavor. 1 wasn't as nute sensitive, and neither as tasty supposedly.

And now on with the show.
