Hope you enjoyed the 6 day stretch off. Meanwhile on RIU......Madazz and I concluded that you should include a couple of $5500 pieces of equipment in your low-cost grow. :lol:

Glad to hear there are no mites left now. It'll be awhile before any spider mite even THINKS about visiting your grow area after that. The word will be out on the mite-streets about the level of chemical warfare that you are willing to wage.

Man. Look at those white spots. That's pretty crazy looking. Haven't seen anything like that.

They still look real good though. Just a bit of a stunt at least. And most importantly...no mites. :clap:

I just found some gnats in my grow tent. Not sure what to make of them. No damage yet. They may just be liking the conditions in there. 80 degrees, moderately humid, and sunny every day in there....what's not to like :lol:

Have a good weekend man.

hey check it this is just a n update on my little, well not so little two headed baby monsterthe first pic was taken on 9/6/09. it was put out to flower on 9/8/09 and the next pic was taken last night on 17th so that is 10 days flowering and the upper side branches are busting out like crazy, like two crowns. what i'll probably do is tie them together with one string going around them. kinda cinch 'em in a bit and see if i can get two big balls of weed like madazz did. i think i'm going to go ahead and start my journal for my ScroG. my clones are doing very well they are about 1 week in veg and between 6-9 inches with about 3 nodes, they are staggered but i'm counting every two shoots as one node. i'll probobly let them get up to about 8 nodes, top it, and cut off the bottom2-3 nodes.here's a little sneak peak.
Well fellas i'm out, it's Friday, and i want all of you guys to have an awesome weekend, i mean it. Do something different, if all it is watch a different TV show. check you guys Monday.



PEACE!!!

Haha. I almost forgot about the 2-headed monster you had. Looking good.

Ever think about getting some white material on the floor in taht room there. That'll reflect more of that light and lower the temp a bit.

just online i got mine off ebay from a store called horselovers of all things i think they put them in the stables to keep ticks off the nags
 
has anyone used canna rhizontonic? what is the effect of tripling the dosage for three feeding cycles. the listed information is that it is a root stimulant for plants that already have roots. i mixed a nutrient batch with Canna A, Canna B, Canna rhizotonic, and Canna cannazym, but tripled the rhizotonic by mistake. have not watered yet, am waiting for knowledgeable reply. dont want to destroy my 3 week old crop, so anyone out there with some advice? thanks in advance

ive bought the no pest strips at home depot, lowes, ect... they are by the fly traps and snail bait.
Sweet! I didn't even think to check HD or Lowes.

Oh yeah jberry, got any info about the amount of CalMag to use with the canna a+b nutes (feeding schedule by week #). Same for the pk 13/14. I just picked this stuff up but realized that I don't know the exact amounts that I should be using.

I remember that the PK 13/14 was directed to be used for only 1 week of feeding but I recall you mentioning that you use it in a 3 week schedule.

Any info/links would be much appreciated. And...:dunce:...like 4 days ago I found a good thread you started for the Canna Coco line of nutes. Shoulda scribed when I found it but I was like "Eh...I'll find it again". Forgot how much RIUs search feature hates me. :lol:

dude unless you have been using it at close to that stregnth i would not use it,it will burn your plant. dont risk it . pour it out and start over and chalkit up to experience the plants love a lot of nutes, but only if you work them up to it. me personnally i only use the A-B, and Floralicious bloom. but on post #43 i have my feeding schedule listed. to be honest jberry might could help you out with that , he's the resident "canna additive guy". oh yea, thanks for stopping by man, it's really good to have you here. hope you find everything alright. any questions, comments, or advice is more than welcome.

well Butters was telling me that the afgan kush will be a good match for my tolerance/insomnia issues. that is what i want to run as my indica. but i also want a real up, up, up sativa. i want to try that cinderella 99 but would be open to any other suggestions. just dont really want to deal with the 10-12 weeks flower, so a sativa with a shorter flower time would be great. but as far as my next run i think that i am going to follow in Butters and madazz's footsteps and do a ScroG with my sativa NL pheno and the Blue Venom. but that's for now.

very nice bro, do you check the ph and ppm levels?honestly dude, when i first started using coco i had the ph up and down crap, ph meter and such, but man my "TAP" water stays in the recommened ph range, and as far as ppm, my chart on page #5 post #43 is how i mearsure my nutes from beginning to the end. no ppm just liters and milliliters. can you explain your clone setup im having a hard time getting mine to take root.basically i have an old kitchen cabinet that i hung two 2ft florescent cool white bulbs in like what root hormone do you use? none, man i just take my razor blade and "lightly" , and i do mean lightly scrape the skin or membrane off to give it more surface area to form roots on, stick it about an inc on a dixie cup fof coco hold it still and water with a mix of .25tsp of A, and .25 tsp of B in a 1 liter bottle(fill half with water, then A, shake, put in other half of water, then B, and shake. then let sit for at least an hour) temps, humidity, ect... well those two floros dont get too hot, and as far as humidity i have found that i really dont need any type of dome for humidity i just let them take root in the open.and how much water do you give your vegging, and flowering plants every time? well since i'm using loose coco(THE BEST), i generally feed them every 5-6 days. but mostly i go by the weight of the pot, trust me you'll get the hang of that in no time, also always let the pot have a good runoff, or drainage. hope that helps anythimg else feel free to ask. the fisrt three or four pages of this thread really have a lot of good stuff that may answer some of your questions. btw thanks for stoppng by and checking me out, always happy to have another guest, gone an make yourself at home.

u guys are so lucky, so much choice of where u can buy supplies, ie. home depot, lowes etc.. they stock all the goods. as well as your hydro supplies and equipment are far more advanced than what we got in Australia. Also ALOT more variety. we have bugger all. sux u guys use 120v that means i ant use all the good timers/co2 controllers, etc.. that the usa make, i goitta go with dear as shit aus built products which are dear as shit. your sentenial co2 CHHC-1 the best u can buy is like 1000 usd tops the unit we have in Aus that does same thing is 3000+. robbery i reckon! also cycle timers 250 for a cheap one in Aus. its offa!

Anyway thats my moan. sorry to moan on your thread zen, keep up the good work mate. i'll have to come to the states sometime and catch up with all u guys. Blow a few doobies and chill out. go to disney land. or all the cool theme parks u have.
