I hope I can find you here. I have plans to send those W/F buckets to NJ and when they leave I will look like this guy:D:D:D
I hope to do beds like tranoble they will be built and flowers in by Tues. 4x12 with 3 1000's LR Bell and Washington's exactly like his set up. I cut over 100 clones today I put them into the EZ in less then 1 Hr. That machine is just that EZ I have had a 100 percent Ratio. I absolutely love it I think anyone can clone with that machine.
Anyway I was hoping you could help me with a good soil mix. I was going to go to LOWE'S and P/U ProMix they have 3.3 Cubic for $7.00 and then they have 40Lbs humus for $1.89. I used these soils in my personnel garden outdoors and they had WORMS in the humus. Shouldn't the soil be processed? The soil is already balanced out @6.8 w/ the mix.
Well I have plan to document this last one all the way through to see if Tranobles theory of 3Lbs a light is infact true. He did work for A/N and a hydro shop his thread seems really good maybe to good to be true.... FINGERS CROSSED..
With his feeding he never mentioned a flush or just regular water feedings. Do you think it is possible to feed that much with very limited flushes (Hydrozyme Clearex) Or any flush solutions? What do you think could be the most aggressive feeding schedule for that type of medium W/O Perlite using GH W/ other NUTES like Mother Tea Carbload B1 Flora Nova and Voodo Juice.
Just hoping to pick your brain a bit.
Thank You for all your help Stink GL420:jointsmile::jointsmile:
Stinky I don't know if you remember me but I hope you do. I haven't been around for about a year or so but I really need help and I couldn't think of anyone better to point me in the right direction. Please help.

Chrissy- tracking, tracking!
GreenLeaf- Worms in bagged soil are totally fine, desirable actually, in your outdoor garden. Indoors, if you can't guarantee no pathogens, stick with that promix, but remember... POT UP EARLY AND OFTEN- read the sticky in basic about continuous canopy, and the embedded FAQ link about pot size and soil chemistry.
I am not sure how Tranoble's buds tasted; you will have to experiment with your particular nutes, strain, and schedule to see how much flush you need. With an organic nute (not FF; I 'm talking one of the brown ones that smells funny), you can often get away with no flush.
If your goals are huge yields, and flavor doesn't matter that much, fert almost to the point of scorch for as long as you want. If you are concerned with flavor, a good flush at the end, or a fully organic nute, are your best bets.
stinky you are the human GREEN THUMB! your ladies are looking so nice and dank. One day i'll be able to grow like you and every other MR. and MS. MRS. GREEN THUMBS!
You should see them now. :(
I'm going to visit them today but when last I saw them, they had been without water in 100'F heat for a couple days. I drenched them, killed the lights, hung a 13w CFL desk lamp in my mother room and killed 1400w of the total 2400 in flower. I expect to have lost genetics in this heat wave. I'm keeping my fingers crossed, but the current crop is not salveageable... 2400w worth of plants, most within 2 weeks of harvest, to be processed into cannabutter. And there is an infestation of the winged instar of carpenter ants that is going to require an exterminator to combat. So everything is getting chopped, and I'm salvaging as many of the mothers as I can, but I don't have high hopes.
It's like the End of Days, all going on in my grow spot. All we need is a couple guys on funny-colored horses to come trotting up and announce the Apocalypse, and I'll be ready to throw in the towel.
Well I call the Camo horse! other colors are up to you. ahahaha sorry a bit stoned right now. So if i am correct your making your salvageable mothers into cannabutter!? man oh man. ill trade 2 tablespoons of cannabutter for LR2 seeds. ahahaha. but as far as the ants.. i know you have a magnifine glass some were. :P
Lol- these ants are SO BIG- like 3/4" long- and they have chompers like I've never seen on an ant before. They HURT when they get mad that you are trying to brush them off your skin, clothes, hair...
I like the camo horse idea.
I'm saving the moms that are still alive and stashing them somewhere safe for the summer, and turning all the incompletely-flowered stuff into butter, and ultimately, caramels.
Lol if we allowed seed swaps I'd be all over that one! I'm intrigued by autoflowering. But not enough to pay $$ for seeds, lol! Plus I don't have anywhere to grow them :( Bummer all around.
Its my frist autoflower! but yes the camo horse idea is badass. running through a feild of mothers would be the shit... and the best part no one would see you! but caramels.. I bet Werthors Caramels would buy some. ahaha when your done making them will you take a pic so i can see what they look like. p.s. CANDY APPLES!Quote:

Read and learn! They are much softer and chewier than commercial caramels; they're made with an old-school recipe that uses a LOT of butter. Thank you PharmaPharmer for the recipe.
I think that horseback would be a pretty awesome way to guerrilla grow. Or maybe I need a pack mule? :D
i read that whole page and the insect porn... classic.
What, you don't like fish sauce?Quote:

Hey, check the pics of my 'closet indiscretions' setup... Canna and Fish Fert! yumyum...Quote:

Stinkster I am BUMMED for you. It does seem like it's never just one thing is it? It's always a damn wave of crud at once. Sorry to hear about the loss of all your fine plants.
:(
I will find out tonight what the loss came to. I just talked to an expert who assures me that unless they were killed down to below the first node, it IS possible to recover them as if they are revegging harvested stumps. I know my harvest is toast though. Good enough for personal use, but aesthetically akin to the dented apples they sell to cider mills for short bucks. I won't want my friends to see the buds, lol... here! HAve a joint! No, there's no buds around, I rolled these 50 joints before you came over. :wtf:
lol Yeah it's been an adventure from day one. If it's not an angry ex with an emotional problem kicking down my door, it's heat, or cold, or floods, or shitty well water, or any of a HOST of other scourges.
What do we learn from all this? Plan to fail. Plan to fall down, hard. Practice getting back up.
Make every new grow space immune to the problems that you faced in the last one.
Eliminate factors you can't control.
Don't count the chickens before they hatch.
Always have another option; a safe spot to store valuable genetics should the need arise.
Back up your shit.
Put money aside for emergencies- a portable a/c STARTS at $300 for the no-name one, as I just found out. A good can fan will run you $200. First/Last/Security will hit ya for $2k and up, depending on where you live. And your time isn't free, either.
But most of all, don't give up out of frustration.
WOW I'm sorry to hear of the loss I hope the expert is coming by to help did you teach him to LOL;)
I know we all would if we could come by to help!!!
You have helped us all so much and then the Teacher gets caught up with crazy issues.. So So Sorry.:(
Stink I remember I think it may even be in the beginning of this thread. The 5 days darkness. Before you put the plant outside can send it into Immediate flower? Maybe I just misunderstood or I have a Gorilla Experiment that's going to happen....
With the whole soil I think I will go with the PRO MIX and but a few bags of FF Worm Casting or Oceanic but not to much to the Mix....
I know what you are saying about not counting your eggs before they hatch. I feel like the guy in my AVATAR W/ all the probems going around. Yield what is that if the grow does not finish well I hope god blesses us all this time around....
You can put it in the dark for 4 days, and if the day length outside is already short enough (that's why Aug 1st is a good date), yup! It will flower right away.
The expert taught me. He is one of the most generous people who I have ever been lucky to count among my friends. He's the one who walked me through my learning curve when it was on the ugly side, lol! You got a question, name the topic- Plants of virtually ANY species? No prob! Electronics issues? Wanna retrofit an antenna to your laptop to steal wireless from an office building 3 blocks away? Sure, I'll bring the soldering iron. Need the name of a song by some obscure 80's punk band? Right on it. Why is Dick Cheney the Antichrist? Let me tell you a campaign funding story... And on it goes.
If you add worm castings, add some extra perlite- worm poop holds water like a mofo and will really change the feel of your soil. For every gallon of worm castings you add, also add a big scoop (maybe a quart?) of perlite.
Heat problems in the grow rooms AND an ant invasion? WTF did you ever do to deserve the pestilence discribed?
Sorry for your losses, but I'm sure you will use your resources and further improve your botanical probelm solving skills.
So, when would you like me to stop by for a joint? <G>
Shovel
I agree with Shov.....I promise not to look at the bud either. :D
Blindfold me- I'll betchya I can shred, clean, roll and light entirely by sense of smell.
( I have talents)
You know I try to tell my husband alot of this and her just doesn't get it. I swear it's so much harder to grow when your other half doesn't get it or thinks you should be able to forecast your harvest amount 2 months from now. lol.Quote:

i was really looking forward to seeing those nice huge ladies. i really hope they will recover from all the damage that's been done and that those bastard insects get what they deserve. if ya need help getting rid of the butter i'll take the ride to you lol.
your luck will change and next years crop will flourish beautifully and this grow will only be a disappointing learning experience. shit happens and ya keep going because there's no changing what has already been.
good luck stink

I messed up really really bad.
I sexed 6 plants they came back 50/50. I cut 100 +clones yesterday hacking the shit out of my sexed Sensi NYD. Then I realized today let me just double check the #'s. How the fuck did #3 get put into the VEG room not 6? I really messed up I had to ripp them all out of the EZ and cut 100+ more tonight. I used FEMS this time around CHURCH. Does anyone now how that strain is? I think WH grew some....
Live and Learn and don't be so stoned GL420:jointsmile::jointsmile::jointsmile:
Hey at least I caught it 1 day later and not 2 weeks into Flower.

OH stinky! SOOOOOO sorry to here of your troubles still happening. It has been brutal with heat up here too. SOOOOO glad my grow is in the basement! OR outside now. All I can say is better days will come. Keep the faith babes! Keep the faith!
Peace
was watchin the news this morning...and stinks, its been 10 deg hotter where you are than it is in FL......ICK!!!

You guys are NOT going to believe this. NO LOSSES. NONE. ZIP. The plants that looked like olive green dishrags on a stick survived. I lost a couple males, but I had them backed up as cuts at another location.
CC- No one sells on this site :rolleyes: but I hear ya. I keep the 'ugly nugs' for myself. Only the pretty ones ever see the light of day. Stinky gotz a reputation to uphold, son! Hahaha. And even if you have to write it on a sticky note and stick it to your other half's forehead... Until your variables are 100% within your control, you canot predict yield. Or even a successful harvest. By variables, I mean water quality, electrical supply, fuel supply if you run a generator, availability of ferts that you need, temperature, everything. Hell, let's all get together and buy a missile silo underground and stockpile a decade's worth of fertilizer and build a surface wind farm and rainwater treatment plant... even then, I'll bet there would be SOMETHING to go wrong.
I remember when your keyboard was broken, lol. That was more entertaining for the peanut gallery than it was for you, I'll bet...
Greenleaf, I'm going to move your question to its own thread.
Shov, you are welcome to stop by any time. I have a few shards of weed kickin' around... lol! :D
Rhizome... you worry me sometimes. This is because I suspect you're telling the truth, and I'm wondering how you came to that conclusion... I think I would like to be a fly on the wall at the Rhizome REsidence, preferably not one with chewing mouthparts that is subject to squishing for the safety of any nearby houseplants...
Same here, sister. If you get up northway by the big lake give a shout! Glad your grow is recovering! :D
Shov
Seriously stock up on Perlite now. My wholesaler says they are banning it.Quote:

Edit: typing with nitrile gloves on is harder than you might think geez
im haveing a stoned moment... instead of "what would you do for a kondike bar" it should be "What would you do for a Stinky Caramel" hahahaha please eat 2 for me!
Banning perlite? What for?

Hound, diatomaceous earth is already banned in the Great White North Eh because it's a serious lung irritant and can cause permanent damege (silicosis I think?). I assume perlite is the exact same issue. It's nasty stuff and you should ALWAYS wear a dust mask when handling it, plus I keep a spray bottle handy to wet it down and reduce dust while mixing media, after suffering a horrible upper respiratory tract infection a couple years back that I traced to a media mix that included bat guano, mycostim, and perlite.
POT!
Yeah... GreenLEaf you caught me... I'm just an attention whore ;)
shit man.. thx for the heads up... I was wondering if my non green boogars were an issue...Quote:
