So here's a tray of buds. Everyone share please!
All that scorching is from the problems I'm having with my well water during spring snowmelt. The pH of the promix PLUMMETS when exposed to such high concentrations of organic acids over a number of weeks.

Serving up buds on a platter? How considerate of you! My computer monitor isn't allowing me access to them for some reason, but I'll keep trying. :jointsmile:

I wouldn't worry about the scorching... after a good trim, they'll be looking purdy as ever! Happy tokin'! :thumbsup:

[SnSstealth]

they still look lovely your highness:thumbsup:
and like Mr.C, i cant seem to get my hand through the screen

Looks nice:thumbsup:

Were they going to ceader cabinet or Silk Screen?:jointsmile:

What Flavors you have their?

[SyKo]

Looks nice:thumbsup:

i didn;t see anything that looked nice in that last pic?:smokin:
Maybe the ones in the background lol

They're going to glass jars and the trim is going to butter for caramels.
The strains included are SourBubble, Toxic Lemon, BlueJay x Bogglegum, and a couple others.
SyKo, if you're gonna be an ass, get off my thread. Seriously. You're trolling... Did you not see the discussion of problems caused by the spring runoff changing my tapwater? Or do you guys not have snow in Canada?

I just tested my well water this week (first time). It was 7, neutral. What kind of PH spread are you experiencing? What have you found in the past? Just curious as I've never given it much thought.

The issue isn't that the well water has a pH problem, which is why I didn't catch it right away. The pH is in the high 6's, no problems there... the issue is the lack of dissolved minerals. I tested it for dissolved lime and came up with almost NONE!!! But while I was doing that test, I found a SHITLOAD of buffering in the range 6.2-6.6, indicating high levels of organic acids. What this means is that the lime in my promix is getting used up WAY faster than it should be considering the pH level is correct, and the plants are showing signs of pH problems in their last 2-3 weeks of flower. So my ProMix is going bad 5-6 weeks after first wetting. Now I am treating my well water like distilled, and adding calmag plus to slow this down.

This is an instruction for that analysis:
Massachusetts Water Watch Partnership pH/ANC Protocols
You need a GOOD sensitive pH meter, a Hach digital titrator, and a Hach sulfuric acid .16N cartrige. Also labware- a source of clean deionized or distilled water, clean beaker, and a magnetic stir plate is a good thing to have too.

as the tune goes, "...I don't know much biology."

I do some work as a process instrument tech, so I went to school (Foxboro Instruments, Foxboro, Ma.) for the hardware (PH meters, etc.) We use them for boiler water testing as well as RO filtering of whey protein production.

Good luck with your organic acids. (??)

I wasn't being an ass?I'm just speaking my mind, if them were my plants i would say the same thing.Sorry but i don't kiss every girls ass on the internet like most morons.Yes i did see the problems you was having i read the whole thread he said they looked nice, obviously kissing your ass.I think you and i both agree they don't look nice correct?

[stinkyattic]

Yes, I agree they look scorched to hell and back but having already noted that, I see no reason for anyone else to continue rubbing salt in the wounds. I think you'd be equally offended if you'd had a problem in YOUR grow and my ONLY post on your log was telling you how shitty your product is, right? And I do not for one minute believe that anyone is kissing my ass because I'm a chick. I have a lively correspondence off the boards with a few members here, enough to call them friends I've never met- and friends get to say nice things to each other!
