Oh Puff! You are my hero!

Such a kind spirit. To go through what u have been and seemingly-no bitterness! What an angel! I can't rep you, or would my addy. Will get you a magazine! With all your skill, you don't need it, but I bet you'd love to read it!

Thanks for the new picture's--looking really nice! You don't do anything half assed! What spirit! It is contagious!! Thanks for being a bright spot in my life!! And the most encouragement and motivational person I've met! You have had me so excited about my next grow season, it isn't funny!

thanks to you my friend!! pr :thumbsup:

Ok.
I got some leafdamage around the colas of plant one and two now. Some starting on plant 4 as well.
It does not look like nute burn still and I was quite sure it was salt build ups.
Seems confirmed now.
I flushed as scheduled after a week of my super nute period and...
Flush was done with tapwater 81 degree F (to solve more salts) at 260ppm pH5.7 .
The runoff from this flush had pH5.7 but 2300ppm hehe. That means the flush water disolved a LOT of salts from the medium and hence they will get pH corrected water for at least 2 more waterings until runoff is down on around 1500 and then I will go back on nutes but a little bit lower. Say around 1800-1900ppm for a week and flush again and resume my scheduled plan for the end of the growth with around one week at 1300-1400ppm followed by 3-4 days flush and 36 hours of darkness before harvest.

I have learned and collected a lot of data from this last week about what these babies can take and what happens with the medium. I knew I would get a salt problem sooner or later at those insane nute levels but the buds have gained a LOT of weight as well and since I knew I was on the edge I always watered until 20-30% runoff but is still kept on adding salts to the coco.
So the deduction from this is that yes it is a good idea to go really hard on nutes during this period but levels has to be corrected a bit and I need to do a flush every 5 days or so next time.

This is data I bring with me to my future grows :D

All plants are healthy and keep adding weight to the buds at a fast rate. Even though I do have some leaf damage now. Not to worry, they are fine and are well cared for hehe.

dammm they look great.:thumbsup:

Puff: sorry about the blemish damage on the bike it could atleast have had the curtesy be totaled since you got "totaled" ...

For the plants its looking damn good, i would love to see you treat some clones from my pot bushes because i have seen what i got from them.
The 2x we harvested gave a combined aprox. 200g or something (filled up coffeecan)
Anyways keep up the good work, i allready prepped my guitarhero skills :P

I have totalled so many bikes in my life and stood up without a scratch on me so obviously when I finally do get it hard the bike walks away with just a blemish :P

REALLY!?!? ive been an R6 fan my whole riding life (about 3 years.) what kind of bikes have you had? if you dont mind me asking, how did you crash and get all f-d up, but your bike walk away with no scratches? that dosent really make much sence... anyway, would be nice to find other riders on cancom. even those retired. would love to see pics.:hippy:

Danish::
Don't train too much man I am just 37/42 Hard hehe.

Joe:
I've been racing roadracing and Monobike but my passion was always Supermoto and that's what I did on a serious level. The crash was in a 20y table top on a mx track. And I have crashed on that exact spot certainly 50 times before over the years. But ye when everything goes wrong the same second...
And don't get me wrong it's better that the bike is ok than totalled just Ironic it is ok the time I am smashed up.
I still have it. It is after all a bike that brought me a lot of success. Thinking about making it crisp and put it in my livingroom.

ahh right on for shairing your story. i was never into dirt, but you sound pretty good. thats cool you still got your bike. right on Mr.Puff.:thumbsup:

WOW! Puffzter your girls are looking great. With results like your getting you might have to setup a screen of green next time, to keep those plump hotties from falling over. I've been using a soil less sunshine mix for awhile now but those coco results have me thinking about trying that out.
You definitely are on the road to breeding. Chimera does some great work geared toward people like us, he also wrote an excellent chapter on breeding in Jorge Cervantes medical growing book.
Looks like a very nice harvest is on the way. Have you tried any edibles? With all that herb your going to have, cooking would be a great way to put it to use. :D

Hi trinity and thanks for the kind words.
Well I am not going ScrOG next time but I certainly will at some point.
Next time will be an aeroponics SoG of 16 plants.
And about coco you should definitelly try it out. Growth is just insane and it is very easy to manage imo. And you are in perfect control of the feeding with instant reaction time of the medium if you just read up on the basics of it.

About breeding that is surelly something I would love to do but I as I am living there is just no space for it. If I breed I wanna do it right with a vast selection of plants to get the best possible genetics from the strains I choose to work with.

Well yeah I expect I will have weed for over a year just from this grow so I will certainly cook/bake some. I am also planning on doing some bubble hash to see how well that works out for me.
Exciting times ahead. :D
Mothers are ready to clone more than I need from now so just waiting for my ladies to finish and my aeroponics system to be delivered.

Day 44 12/12...

Yeah they did take a pounding from the salts but they kept on putting on weight really well even going through that.
Plant 1 took it the worst and I took away some really resinous leaves around the cola today that was quite damaged. Plant 4 also got hurt but not as much.
Both of these are growing really damn well though so I am not worried. They have been pushed hard and wear the scars to prove it now but they have come through with flying colors and are doing what they should.
Tough little soldiers.

Pic plant 4 bud. This plant make the hardest and most compact nugs and colas. VERY frosty even though I can't capture it.

Pic plant 1 cola. Compare with the last pic post I did and you can see how much weight it put on the last three days. Also a very damn frosty plant with a super nice cola.
