Bet with the ankle biters..(children..) that you don't get to Play until they have gone to bed for the night.
Christmas is Magic for the children.

XxK2xX ...Merry Christmas m8..

Merry Christmas all from the fine state of Tennessee!!!!

The fungus gnats are still there but their numbers are lowered, whats working best is sticky yellow traps, perlite helped but I think sand should do better...

another problem was the pH of water, I couldn't find an RO filter anywhere, so I ended up using Ascorbic acid in the form of effervescents (Redoxon), 2 tablets are lowering pH from 8.50 to 6.50 in 20 Liters.

The presence say you still have an ACID problem somewhere...
if there are less..you might have diluted it some...maybe your ph buffer.
Try using the vinegar to buffer..EXCELLENT results here.

I was checking out the girls...Maaannn..they are looking Beautiful.
There is a girl in the left hand corner..raised pot..in a tank..that really has me Greedy Eye...
who is she..?
And..are you seeing colour..noted one bud shot seems to have colour down the bottom of the pistils.

Not yet moss, im gonna let em go a day or two longer, spotted the first signs of amber 2day
gotta get my smell situation resolved before i can go for round 2, im tired of people asking me why my house smells like dank ass pot(or dead animal to some) every time they come over...

p.s every body cross ur fingers that the GF got me the Extreme Q for christmas

I tried using vinegar, I had to use like 2 teaspoons per 2 Liters, which is too much and since gnats are attracted to fermented smell it might actually lure them in...

the girl on the left is an ICU#2, I was training the main cola under the SCROG net and it snapped :O like 75% severed, so I applied some duct tape around the wound, next day it kept on growing now there's a bump around the wound... so strong!

I'm not seeing any color on leaves, some plants are showing colored calyxes, mostly ICU and BB, ICU calyxes are almost black, BB is more like pink...

Seems like the older dying leaves are still dying off but the newer leaves are doing great after the vinegar treatment. I can see my first bud site developing and its been about three weeks. How many bud sites do you usually get with autos? Man, so stoked that my plant seems to be doing much better after taking your advice J! Looks like I might have a little harvest after all. Merry Xmas all!

which is too much .....there you have it...Too Much vinegar has knocked your water acid...that is what the problem is.
Same as too alkali..just a different set of Problems.

Hearts like little Lions m8...
you accidently super-cropped her.
Amazing isn't it..if you stick them together quick..it usually works.

IF you don't find the split until later and it has dried out...
you scrape it..expose Both surfaces down to the juice..and tape.

The only thing to watch is if you get infection in...same as an open wound on yourself.

Woo...hooooo....purples and reds.
BB in Red is what I'm looking to isolate out....Reds are RRRRacey...pulse racey....

mossys u may wona change time/date on that thing or it may confuse some lol

oh mossy I missed your trich shots!

Happy christmas everyone

I don't post much but I thought I'd add my micro photos taken of a Nirvana Short Ryder Autos (400 HPS, custom soil, 4x4x7 tent). I figure there are enough macro photos of the plants so I will just post these. I like micro-porn myself.

I don't have a digital microscope but I used my old analog one and just put the lens of my Canon SD300 up to the ocular. It worked fairly well. These are taken at 40x.

First one is of a pistal. Note the translucent & amber trichomes in the background. This is my favorite shot.



Trichomes.



More pistals.



More trichs.



Pistal and trichomes.

Nice pictures! my first grow was a nirvana short rider.


JP

Thanks. This is my first (other than a really poor attempt 15 years ago that was oddly enough a ruderalis grow). I learned everything from RIU and I am very pleased with my results. Couldn't have done it without this forum. Oh, I'm calling that particular plant "Santa's Little Helper".
