Anyone know what I can do with the male leaves? Can I freeze them and collect some tricomes? Hopefully turn a bad situation into something, thanks guys!
As far as I understand it, trichomes only produce on females (or hermie) to collect male pollen :leaf:

Yea growing is a lot of fun, gf yells at me for paying too much attention to them.

Sativa is less then ideal for indoor. Find a indica sativa blend. Like 70% ind, 30% sativa.

The plants are growing like crazy. Left front is 16", Pineapple (middle) is now 10.5" and Claudette (tied down) is almost 30"! The growth in 12/12 is amazing compared to 18/6.

Finally, found some 35% food grade H2O2 and I'm using about 50ml/15gal (about .8ml/l) in the rez to help with bacteria. I esp wanna keep it under control since I had to dump good nutes due to white slime a few days back.

growing like crazy! man cant wait to see this one out!
Great to have ya ;)

Made a little DIY bubble cloner today. I have just not been having good luck with cloning in rockwool so wanted to try something else out. Just used a old chlorox whipes container (washed very very well) and a couple neoprene inserts. I also decided to switch the veg room to 24/0 instead of 18/6... mostly for fear that the 6 hours the light is off, it gets down to about 65 which is too harsh for the little girls. I've also heard 24/0 has highest success rate for clones.

Neoprene .50 x 2 = $1
3 watt aquarium pump $8
Tubing $1
Air stone $2
Duct tape $.50
Total = $12.50!

Now it's only a 2 site cloner, but works great for my needs right now... I'll upgrade to a 3gal bucket someday...but for now this is perfect.

Oh yea, the 2 clones are the Pineapple Express of course!

if u dropped your non-waterproof meter in the water it will probably still work once it dries out. (if thats random someone repped my post from b4?)

annnnd some pineapple express porn:

nice porn! very frosty looking bud on that Pineapple Express.

quick note to the OP... I use H202 that I get from a pool supply place for a reasonable price, it's about 20 dollars a gallon or so, and it works fine. I dont believe it has to be food grade. I think the only real difference is shelf life. just a suggestion that might save you a little $.

Someguy, just read your journal. Nice job for your first grow. I am a caregiver from mi also. Where did you find the 35% h2o2? +REP!

A nearby health food store. I asked the employee at the local grow store and she pointed me in the right direction. I've heard something from a pool supply is a lot cheaper. I paid 15 for 1 quart of food grade, but I've heard the pool 50% stuff is only 20/gal (but I can't seem to find it anywhere).

I found some more white slime in my rez. It seems to start in the pump and eventually starts clogging it up. I'm using a decent amount of h202 (50ml of 35%) so I'm not understanding how this stuff can live. Can anyone identify what this is? I can try to get a pic next rez change, but it reminds me of clear/white snot basically. Any ideas? I tried cleaning my pump in h2o2 solution, maybe I need to soak it in bleach or something. I added 100ml (max recommended) tonight to see if it kills it, but we'll see. Suggestions appreciated & rep'd!

Well, guess I'm using the water with the little bit of gunk in it. I can't keep dumping nutes after 5 days, just too costly, so I hope it's not anything too serious. The rez temp varies from 67-71 so that's not of control. With 100ml of 35% h202 in 15gal, I can't see how anything could survive. Sticking my arm in the rez literally causes bubbles to form off my skin! I've heard a lot of smack talk about h2o2 but I don't have any negative effects on my plants, they are hapily growing an inch a day and packing on more bud daily.

It's really getting dense in the closet. I have 6 plants and it's getting tough to get them all ideally placed under the light. My next grow I will def use clones and go for a Scrog for cola support. I had males this time around so I didn't want everything tangled.

PE is just starting to flower as are the rest of the girls. My Early Girl is really starting to pack on some bud, hopefully in a week or two it will be a solid cola.

Oh, and I added some 35% h202 directly to that glob and it erupted almost! Lots of bubbles and a visible white/clear gas coming off it. Apparently it is alive? I'm really baffled with this one.

(I know what the little green spec is, part of one of the plants)

are you still using the liquid seaweed? H202 negates the effects of organic nutrients, so you'd probably be wasting the liquid seaweed.

stick with chem nutrients to keep the funk down. I have a shelf of additives and sauces that I dont use anymore because I dont notice any difference, which sure as hell doesnt justify the cost of the things.

Nope, stopped using that months ago. Only using Ionic nutes (bloom, grow, boost) and General Hydroponics ph down. Nothing else.

Mothers are getting ready! They were just transplanted today (50/50 mix of hydroton and rockwool mini-cubes, pure hydroton on top to prevent algae). The one on the left is a free Fem La Woman from attitude and the one on the right is a good bag seed. I'm not sure why it looks so sick when the other one looks perfectly healthy, same conditions.

My Pineapple Express clones are looking a little down too. Is this much droop normal? Looks like my rockwool clones were failures, they are almost completely yellow now. If they do end up dying I'll do a dissection and post some pics, hopefully someone can tell me what I'm doing wrong.
