New and Improved: Featuring Sour Northern Lights x Nevilles Haze

[daihashi]

I remember one post where a guy had his g/f water while he was gone for a day or two.
She ended up watering everything with straight ph down.....right out of the brown bottle. Needless to say the plants croaked pronto and I don't think the relationship lasted either.

ARGH

luckily for me I gave her like an hour long tutorial, and I quizzed her half a day later and had her actually perform the watering in front of me. She did it right. I gave her enough ph water to last 2 days.

I PH'd the water at 5.4, I know the PH tends to rise if it sits for a few days. After two days I don't anticipate it being any higher than 6.5-6.8 which is still adequate for coco (just not ideal).

If I am still not home I will have her water with tap water (ph 7.0). It's not great, but it's better than letting the coco dry out. That would destroy my plants that are looking beautiful.

Weedhound, when you ran your SNLxNH did you get any variegated plants? I got a few and they are pretty. I hope their variegation is more pronounced as they get bigger.

argh! My g/f decided to leave and go to her mom's house.... I want her to be safe it's just frustrating because I made plans revolving around her being home.

Either way I had her drench the plants.. completely soak as much as possible. I also had her cut out the lights and the fans. Hopefully there will be enough water in the medium to last it about 2 days or so.

Wish my plants luck :hippy:

I hope you are both safe.
It is ironic though, I mean with all the water that is coming your way, that you know, the plants might go dry! I hope they are safe also. Good luck.

dai, I hope you and your plants survive Ike well. He looks like a mean murf. I can't bring myself to read/look at the devastation in his path - I've dealt with hurricanes for many years, and unless you see the aftermath, you just can't imagine it. Hopefully, you are far enough inland you didn't have to deal with the surge issues.

Sounds like your plants are doing great, and have turned around nicely! My Red Colombian Haze started out a little shaky. All of my Red Colombian x NH are incredibly small beans to start. And, I had to force her cotlyedons open for light. She was a stretcher, but has since become a beautiful plant. I'm glad to hear yours have made it through their rocky beginnings, and I hope they are fine upon your return - I had some issues like yours not long ago.

Good luck, dai - stay safe, my friend!

hey hash. I'm also growing in coco and couldn't agree more. my hydro guy told me to try it out for my next grow and honestly, it's the best stuff if you're not using a hydro system.

Was wondering if you posting pics of the progress or just documenting it all? Looking forward to seeing the haze.

Crossing fingers for both you the g/f and your plants through the hurricane, will check back for this grow

Ok.. so I've regained internet access on my Sprint Air card so here are a few updates:

My place is fine with the exception of one of the front windows being broken out. Not a big deal, got some water inside but no serious damage that I could see.

Just about all of houston is without power right now, so I still do not have power to light my plants.

When I checked on the plants last night they were very moist. And suprisingly they've grown a TON in the dark. I really can't wait to get the lights back on them. They should have enough water in their pots to last them another day. Turning off the fans and light + drowning the plants in water seems to have been a good strategy for keeping them alive. They are looking great, a little droopy but plants always seem to be a bit droopy in the dark.

Beyond that everything is fine at my house. I hope power will be restored soon so I can go back to my house and assess the damage with some more lighting, but for now everything looks about as good as it can look.

I'll give more updates with pics when I get home.

Thanks for checking in everyone.

Sure glad y'all are safe. Hope you folks see a quick return to normal routines. I guess we don't have a smiley for "including you and your neighbors in our prayers".

don't live around those canes' the only thing Ike's affected for me is the postponing of the WEC event in FL. that and missing the updated pics from those SNLxNH girls or' there D... what is the flowering time on that strain.
btw hope all is well on the home front..

D:S5:

another update..

plants were dying when I came home... not because of water.. they were still plenty moist.. but rather because of no light.

Leaves are looking sad and yellow. I've placed them near a window in the mean time. Unfortunately I don't have a southbound window I can utilize to catch more sun..

Well I do but it's plywooded up. I'm going to try to take it out with a screwdrive but I used a power drill so I'm not sure how well that's going to go.

Hopefully they'll come back to life soon.. sigh.. fucking hurricane is really screwing alot of things up in my life right now.
