Im actually had this same issue yesterday I posted about it.

Short Rider auto... Stupid Bitches. It's been the only strain in that room that has done anything like that.

I just gave it More light, and more humidity and they perked right up... Could have been one or the other but both seemed to work. And I saw growth within 12 hours of doing it

Welcome aboard.

I can report that my mainlined Kosher Kush is popping up
nicely. I was concerned that I will need to flip the tent soon,
but I am confident that I could flip any time.

I just want these new heads to finish setting themselves.

Here is a shot just taken:

Take care,

I sampled some Kosher Kush not too long ago. Kicked my balls in. PERFECT Kush flavour too. Hell man this is one exciting grow you have here woooohoooooo....

Papa, as I wrote, I am in learning mode. I want to vary parameters with
each grow in order to get a better feeling for how to grow cannabis.

I am sure that I am destined for a RDWC or other aqua method before
too long, but for now I am using soil.

FB, I appreciate the time. I will spray the plants to help with RH. They
are already getting a 600W at 100% so that is not the problem.

Mad, I am happy to have you along!

JD

P.S. I am glad to know that about Engineer's Dream. I love the name alone :0)

Yea some day I really wanna get a 5x5 flood and drain table and try my hand at hydro. Done DWC for mothers, but never flowered yet in hydro.

That is just it, as the plants need way more food when they go to flower.
(way more water certainly, and nutes with it, of less N than in Veg)

This is something that I would love to be able to do:

I can check the one big reservoir to see how hungry are the plants *as a group*

In the case of my current tent, then Jack Herer, Headband, and Skywalker Kush
(my strongest Veggers) would be drinking a ton while the PurpleBerry drank
relatively little. RDWC (or ebb) handles this automatically.

We will see. I am happy with my plants so far. I need to do a cleaner job
of arranging the buds for full development this Crop. Many stakes to buy. :0)

Take care,

JD

Pa-lease! It is called "investing in infrastructure" ;0)

LOL, I admit it, I love the gadgetry.

I have automated mushroom houses, a compost pile, worm bin, etc

But the list goes on.

If you are inclined toward sensical enterprises, then perhaps you will
enjoy building a Black Soldier Fly Harvester. I love stuff like this, but
have yet to make one yet.

Eventually aquaponics, for vegetables and fish. I might raise rabbits
for clean meat. I am a carnivore, but begin to be bothered by the amount
of "stuff" in our animals.

BTW, I checked this morning, and these beans have already popped:

Breeder's Boutique The Dog
HSO Lemon Juice Express
HSO Blue Dream
DNA Sour Kush <--Good Vibes DL :0)

The others will follow.

I am putting the beans straight into beer-cups using a coco-soil-perl/verm mix

I really added the perl/verm, that was leftover from making the hempys in the
tent, to lower the moisture level. I used a bit too much water when melting the
coco block.

The result looks good. I will not initially water, as the soil is wet enough still.

Take care,

JD

Yea I have high hopes to...every harvest I try to reinvest a few hundred back in the grow. I definitely want to get a worm farm going. Having access to my own worm castings would be killer. Would be great to have the space to compost, I have always composted. When your filling 100 gallon pots every year, composted soil from the previous year is LIFE SAVING.

I also really want to get a self water drip system setup if I am going to remain in soil which to be honest I see staying in soil for a while yet. I would love to have all the plants set up on one central water manifold so that they all give equal levels of water, and nutes. Will be a complete PITA trying to water the plants in the back of the tent.

One of my connections raises fish in his backyard and then uses the water full of fish poop to water/fed his garden. Just goes to show with enough money and imagination, sky's the limit.

congrats on the beans popping, mine only been in rockwool 24 hours, so still waitin.

Hello all,

Well, I have placed the three small plants onto second
buckets, turned the Kessils on, and have shortened the
"day" to 18 hours.

I will be putting the HPS bulb into the lamp and switching
to 12/12 in a day or two.

It is soon time.

The tent this morning:

The eight tops of the MLed Kosher Kush are just going to have to
flower from where they are:

I have a ton of garden shots in the next post...skip it if needed.

Hello all,

I thought that some of you might get a kick out of my vegetable garden.

IMG_1689.jpgIMG_1702.jpgIMG_1703.jpgIMG_1705.jpgIMG_1706.jpgIMG_1707.jpgIMG_1708.jpgIMG_1709.jpgIMG_1710.jpgIMG_1712.jpgIMG_1713.jpgIMG_1701.jpgIMG_1700.jpgIMG_1690.jpgIMG_1691.jpgIMG_1692.jpgIMG_1693.jpgIMG_1694.jpgIMG_1696.jpgIMG_1695.jpgIMG_1697.jpgIMG_1698.jpgIMG_1699.jpgIMG_1714.jpg

What is amazing, to me anyway :0), is that all of these came from seed.

(except the citrus trees)

Through the window in the one photo, you can see into my "nook" where
I have my Burpee seed tray and a few new additions that have been transplanted.

The new, and very fragile, additions are Alpine Strawberries, Kiwis, Raspberries,
Celery, and Blueberries.

Take care,

JD

LOL. Well, good try! Thank you for the kind words.

I need more space. I want to set up an aquaponics rig as well.
The logic of these systems is pleasing to my eye.

Onward and upward,

All you need now is your own source of power and you can survive Armageddon lol. Love your veggie garden bro. We're also moving to self sufficiency over here. Definitely the way forward. Jealous of your kiwis, correct me if I'm wrong but you need a male and female plant like apples, no? Citrus is always a pleasure to have around, fruit fresh off the tree cannot be beat! I want to get some teacup pigs. But I know my wife also won't actually let me make them into bacon lol...

And if you feed it yourself and make sure its perfectly pure you kinda really are doing yourself plus the animal a huge favour. James Hetfield from Metallica is proud of only eating meat he shot himself. Sounds rough to some but like you say, better to be part of the circle of life than deny your role in it altogether. But yeah I'll end up with pets not food rofl...

That was her Main concern... "What if I get Too attached"?

Well than eat it and Save it after you Shit it out! I wanna eat Rabbits Woman!

I had Rabbit Confit at a French Restaurant.

That might do the trick! :0)

A confit intends to fix the problem of tough meat by cooking
it in a container at low heat for a long time. (i.e. 250 F for
3-4 hours)

If she is not swayed, then you still get points for a fine meal.

Kinda like Home Cooked chilli.

We usually start it around noon and eat it by 6-7

We went to Skippers and she was telling me about the Fisherman that Kill these fish and make a Living.. Those are "Horrible ways of making a Living"

My Response was... Yeah... But they make a Damn good Living.. Lol that night was Shot to Shit
