im out of money and this all i have left


here my number

advan nute micro 5-0-1
advan nute grow 2-1-6
pure blend pro 3-2-4
seaweed 0.1-1- 0
liq karma 1-1-5


wat should i use two day of 12/12
I've never used Advanced Nutrients before so I can't help you with those nutes.

I would just use the Pure Blend Pro and Karma. That's all you really need anyway. The Cal-Mag helps if your water PPM is low. If your tap water is over 200PPM you don't need the Cal-Mag.

Hey Stinky, I had a question for you about adding nutes. I'm currently running nutrients at 400 ppm and am burning my plants. They are close to the light, but the light is in a cooltube and the canopy is at no higher than 75 degrees. The seeds were from bag seed. Did I just bad genetics or am I to blame?
400 PPM? Bag seed?

I would suggest rereading page 75 of this thread. Especially the part on genetics and nutes.

All your questions will be answered.

dirthawker, just to update I tested again after a spray that the calculator said should bring my level to the 1900ppm, and the syringe said that I was at 900 so I took my flow from 4 to 7 on the co2 tank, and I am going to read after it hits in the morning to see where it is at. I am thinking that doubling what the calculator says is about where you need to be. That would be the reason that everyone says it should only last about a month or a 3 weeks, not the 60 days that the calculator says.
If I remember right I found out the same thing. It was a long time ago but I remember having to double or triple the output to bring my CO2 up to 1500.

At first I thought I was wrong because the number was so low. I kept bumping the number up and up until I finally got the number up to 1500.

I tested it an hour later and it was under 500! I was out of syringes and a box costs like $50! That's when I decided to buy a controller.

The cheapest I found was $400. So I started watching Craig's list and fleabay. I found my controller within a couple of days.

A tank should last about 7-10 days. If you have a controller you can get 14 days out of a tank.

You would be surprised at how often my CO2 switches on. You can watch the monitor drop 1-2PPM per second.

I have my regulator set to 10 so the room fills with CO2 fast. The regulator comes on about every 15 minutes (even at 10). It only runs for about 5 minutes though.

I tempted on recommending doubling or even tripling the results from the online calculator.

stinkbud or buddies
any coments
I dont wanna burn my plants and im 2 chicken to try it yet.
I put some on my skin and it didnt burn me but I bet the little girls are more sensitive. Think this will hurt them?:dunce::bigjoint:
I thought the same thing as you the first time I tried it. I mixed it pretty weak to test it out.

Guess what? The plants loved it! I would almost have to say it helped the growth rate.

I think the big advantage to staying with organic pesticides is it's not just healthy for you but it's also healthy for your plants.

The only thing wrong with the garlic/pepper spray is the smell. It would great on your outdoor stuff.

Up here in the NW we don't worry about pests outdoors. It's the bunnies and deer that will destroy your crop.

Time for a SB story:

One time me and my buddy decided to plant about 15 clones up in the hills.

We worked for weeks hauling manure and water. Digging holes and getting everything ready was back breaking work.

We hauled gallons of water up steep hills in the hot sun. The plants grew to about 3ft. high within a month or so.

Then one day we came back and every mother fucking plant was eaten down to the ground! Rabbit turds everywhere.

It looked like they had a big fucking rabbit orgy! I bet they all got high as a kite and then fucked like humans...:eyesmoke:

The next year we fenced off an area and had no problems. Around the end of July I'm like "fuck this" Water is too fucking heavy. Indoors is the only way.;-)

im about 2 weeks into flowering and love the results
not having to play games with dirt will be an amazing thing...hauling the bags and cleaning up the mess are getting real old
and i love the smell of the new nutrient mix.......very sweet and berry smelling

[FONT=Times New Roman, serif]You have to realize that not everybody can follow your directions 100%.[/FONT]


[FONT=Times New Roman, serif]Second, what works for you won't work for all, a lot of people see you running a high PPM and try to shoot for 1000+ and burn the shit out of their plants.[/FONT]


[FONT=Times New Roman, serif]I have read this thread in and out. I don't have any clonex solution or I would be running it in my cloner to replace any possible nutes. I was just looking for some simple help on a nute mix that could replace this to help the slight yellowing of the clones (Seems like them having access to some nutes in the water rather than having to use up stored energy in the leaves would promote faster and healthier growth). I used to run organics (fox farms) and had some problems with the way it mixed in my res. The GH mixes very well. I will eventually get some new nutes like the ones you use, but I am not going to keep dumping money on different products when it isn't necessary. I have a lot of other things to get before then. All of my veg plants are growing just fine using these nutes, perfect green, no burn, etc. Clonex can easily be substituted with something else. You don't ever give the PPM of your clone unit after the clonex solution has been added.[/FONT]


[FONT=Times New Roman, serif]Thanks anyways.[/FONT]

We typically don't use clonex for cloning. Zero nutes means the clones have to produce roots or die. I've used clonex before and it works ok, but it's not needed in this cloner setup. The 1on/5off makes all the difference.

As for the nutes, just follow the directions on the back. Sounds like you are good for veg and flower.

hey johndoe
fox farm SUCKS i used them one time for one week i still have all of it
some strains can handle more ppm than others you have to dail them in
back your light off some pluck the yellow leaves soon as they some roots put them in the veggie watch the new growth
ps
some leaves will turn yellow in the cloner its norm

let you in on my little secret for outdoor animals. The one reason I had horrible luck outdoors before the last 2 years was the darn rabbits , deer, and ground hogs (woodchucks). they would dig up new plants for the peat pellets or peat moss. they loved it. or the deer would eat my big plants. it was very discorageing (sp) anyway. My mom use to take us kids hair after she cut it and put it in the garden. it kept away most bunnys and other animals cause of the human smell and the shampoo smell. so I used that a few times. The hair solon was starting to wonder why I wanted there trash bags of hair. So rather than looking like some weird stalker hairdoll making freak I tried Dryer lint. Yup dryer lint from your laundry. It has soap smell and human smell. I mix a hand full in the top of my soil/soiless mix and put some around the stawk. Bingo no animals will touch them. most pest wont bother them till they get rained on a few months. The deer last year even bedded down 10 ft away from my plants and never touched them. It worked like a charm and now I save my dryer lint all winter long just for my outdoor grows. Plus since I have 4 dogs the dog hair off my cloths ends up in the lint trap and also helps cause the lint now smells like humans and dogs.:weed:
hope this helps any outdoor growers too. didnt mean to change the subject or get off course.

Im gona try the home brew sauce I made on a bagseed I just found to be male before hurting my girls.
thanks
peace

Hey Stinkbud, havve a question for you. I have a aeroponics system like the one you built. I'm going on my 2nd week into flowering and i know there is going to be some males. Am I completely fucked or is there something I can do to save my females if i can't untangle the roots? Some one told me they cut there males right at the base and taped them. He said his females were alright. Just wanted your thought on this. ty

+REP Very nicely done.. that was my first problem in my very 1st outddor grow. I couldn't seem to keep them (mostly deer) away. I nevver thought about using lint. Sounds like it would work.

I'm thinking about getting that darkroom. Do you know if it's sealed, not to let CO2 out.
I have the dr120. Run a Sentinel controller. Very happy with how CO2 is working. From previous post recently I figure I will go my whole grow with one 20 lb tank. Currently, co2 runs at 4 cfh for 81 seconds per hour to achieve 1500 ppm. From what I have read from Stink he watches the CO2 in his room fall 1-2 ppm per second which is what I see too. I also run a chiller and air cooled 600w hps without problem. The chiller sits outside the tent and the tubes go through one of the side 6 inch openings with double drawstrings. Generally, the double drawstring system works pretty good as do the zippers. Yeah I would recommend the darkroom.
