Prepared for the worst- Stinky??
Rusty, Divestoned what the hell is going on? What's with the insults? Did this start back in the following thread or sooner:
http://boards.cannabis.com/plant-pro...ml#post1978428
You both know what you're doing when it comes to growing can't we all just chill? What am I supposed to do? I'm not going to edit out the flaming from the posts in thsi thread and deleting them loses some good advice in those posts? Come on wtf?
If the two of you have some issue you two need to figure it out without flaming or else ignore each other. It's been a long weekend and I have a busy week coming up with very little time off and I don't want to deal with this again. All the mods here are busy with work or school or both right now so everyone take a deep breath. A deep breath filled with smokey sweetness! :smokin:
To the member who reported the post thanks for pointing it out but I wanted to address something because you said you were sick of seeing members attacked. We do have a no flaming or no attacks or insults or trolling. I think we do a good job of enforcing it and finding them We can't always find them and without the help of members like you reporting posts, it would be a lot harder or take longer and some posts that are breaking the rules might even go unnoticed.
Flaming can earn a warning or infraction and depended on the person's history the infraction may be enough to earn some time off.
I'm sorry you seemed upset when you reported the post but we do enforce the no flaming rule here and we try to handle these posts as quickly as possible and as fairly as possible. If I'm missing what you meant in the post report, please let me know.
Don't stop reporting by any mean! :thumbsup:

these bitches were root bound when i transplanted them last (pretty bad, too).
could that be my biggest problem??
i'm still reading.......
Prepared for the worst- Stinky??
Root-bound could definately cause this type of issue's,If the root's arent happy noone's happy.I find that my root's are alway's about as big as my plant's...If you figure on 1 foot of plant = 1 gallon of potter,then to grow 3 foot plant's you want 3 gallon pot's.of course this is not an exact science ..simply a good rule of thumb.

yeah, for some stupid reason i left my darlings in half gallon bags all through their veg. guess i wasn't so meticulous after all, eh?!
stupid.
i usually SOG and half gallon is plenty large, giving me about 4 per square foot.
i noticed the burn/spotting when they were about a foot and a half tall and when i transplanted, the rootballs were *tight*, especially at the bottom.
i binned a male tonight that had been transplanted a week ago into a three gallon bag. the roots in the original half gallon ball were brownish and weak looking while the roots that had grown into the fresh soil were white, hairy and strong.
we might be on to something here.....
now if i can just get those cuttings to root. they've been in the dome for two weeks. i'll give them another two and then bye-bye purple g.

when your using the expandable peat dude's in a dome,it's easy to over-water them.You want the top of the peat pot to dry a lil...but not too the point that the whole pot dries out.Having to much water sitting around a rootless piece of stalk will cause rot fast.It's not like seedling's ..clone's will rot way faster,so leave the dome open more often.

i've been on top of that one, to the point of running the virgin pellets through the salad spinner before they ever see a cutting. i'd say after expansion, i removed about half the water from the pellets before i got started.
moist, not wet.
when they start to look like they are losing the dark brown of moistness, i mist the outer edges of the pellet, never the center, being careful to not wash off the rooting powder. outside-in, yeah?!
in two weeks, i've only had to moisten them three times, about ten pulls from the mister each.
in the first week, i misted the dome with water that had been spiked with superthrive. your buddy rusty says that's a big no-no and i believe him. it's only water from now on and we'll see how it rolls. 75-80 degrees F at 60-80% humidity. that's all i can do, 'cept wait.
feeling like a fair-weather farmer, very much.
Prepared for the worst- Stinky??
and after this, i'm not fucking around anymore.
grabbing up some rapid rooters tomorrow and hoping that a cutting comes through that will allow me to use them soon.
i've never had issues with peat pellets before, but now i hate their guts.
psh!

If you promise not to spray the plant's directly..You can add a lil B-1 too the mister,It will help the plant to form root's and help with transplant/cloning shock.Run the PH for the clone's at around 6.8 as usual.Make changes one at a time,and give a few day's to see if it helped.Otherwise you can't be sure which change solved the problem.

by B-1, i assume you mean superthrive?
so, ST in the pellets, not on the inside of the dome.
check.
google agrees with you.
