How did your crop work out for you???

I will tune into this thread in the hopes that you post more info, even if just a ramble, cause I am learning lots from you as you really explain things in my language.

Keep Growing:
:thumbsup:

Pay It Forward

SauceeMcGee,
Tending plants is a grounding experience for me. It makes me feel better just being around them and watching them thrive.

Hope, if you will...

My Kandy kush plants are very nice specimines. Their leaves are wide and symetrical with a pleasing shape and geometry. It's almost gonna be a shame to flower these individuals and I will almost surely clone them because they are so beautiful that they deserve to live on.

I would grow these even if they weren't medicine.


I'll let you know when I make some basil tea, it's almost tea drinking season again!

sccrocks:

They are still growing and I sometimes don't feel up to posting...
No actual picures more that at least once a week.
Not much else unless there's some significant event either, sorry...
Unless anyone has a specific question. Nothing really cutting edge here.

M.P.

Group shot taken on Set 19.

4 coco grow plants transplanted from 3 1/2" to 6" pots with no hesitaition in growth. This time I flushed the coco until it was about eqaul to tap water (160ppm). The coco straight out of the bag had a runoff of 2200 ppm and took about 8 flush cycles to bring it down to acceptable levels. It made all the difference in the world.

The Roadrunner seedling did not make it. :sadcrying

Busy week in the grow room comming up.

See you next update.

W.T. FF?:wtf:
What brand of coco is that?
Does it say it's pre-treated with CalMag?

I'm using Botanicare blocks and have to add Calmag on the first soak,
then I add 1/2 strength nutes to the first water to condition the coco but I've never actually tested runoff from a fresh potting.
I sure will tomorrow, though.
Thanks.

Aloha,

Sorry about the brief answer, but was heading out for Radiation Treatment.

I don't think it was Cal Mag, but rather sea salt.

The EC of the coco put my grow back two weeks at least!

around week 2-3:
The leaves were turning yellow and dying off, so I flushed the pots several times until the runoff was relatively clear (vs tea colored) and went off to buy my EC meter. I transplanted one each G13xhaze and Kandy Kush tomy DWC bucket in desperation.

However the flush did the trick. The differece was night and day. My seedlings started to grow again and get greener.

Fast forward to week 6... Flush first after the initial runoff readings... before using adittional coco in transplanting. Everything much smoother fterdoing so.

YMMV depending on the brand I would think...

The bag did say 100% organic and sea salr is, so truth in advertising is still alive and well. Beter to test and rest assured.

Big Mahalo fo' dat!

Never occured to me that some buggah would get lazy and use seaside nuts to make coir.
At least not without rinsing the hell out of it.:wtf:

That high a ppm of salt should be tasteable.
Went out to taste-test mine and found that I had expanded the last batch with CalMag and 1/2 strenght nutes for transplanting. Ptooi!
It will wait 'til I tear into another block.
But, have had so few problems that I've become complacent.

Just 'cause the last block was OK...

There may be some variability from batch to batch even with the Botanicare, so it will pay to check it right out the gate.
So, I gonna do dat.
Thanks for the head's up.

Aloha,

Nuted, lightly Calmag'ed and pH'ed water (bottled / well mix) to 1400ppm, pH 6.3.

This was from my soil vs. coco experiment.

Running that nute solution fairly quickly through new, unrinsed Botanicare coco raised the EC conversion to 1580ppm.

Neglected to taste it, though. :glugglug:

Pulled a bloomer girl from the LED bloomery and eased her into the sunlight for a day.
Then full sun for 2 days.
When I put her out, the trichs were 90% cloudy with some very rare ambers.

After just 2 days, the sugar leaf was almost 50% amber trichs! Yikes!
Chopped and hung.
Be about a week to dry enough to test right.

But from that reaction, I'd say my girl was either over ripe, or defenseless against UVb.
Makes sense when you consider that clear trichs don't absorb the short wavelengths like the cloudy ones do.

Normally, they are less affected, and as they ripen, as soon as they cloud up they get zapped and are being replaced by new clear caps over time.
Harvest time and timing is important outdoors!

Under leds, they can all ripen to cloudy without being zapped by the UV.
That explains the thicker trich carpet and thc percentage, vs. CBD & CBN.
Dunno if the sunlight will make the high thumpier or not.

Will compare it to the sample taken just prior to her solar debut.
Yay! Another bake-off!:rastasmoke:

It's all factoids,
to store
in our memory's hoard.
We use them,
to help us,
to find the lost fnord
Muahahaha!

Aloha.

Sorry to hear about your RR not making it! Mine just popped it's ugly little head! lol

The LB is looking marvelous though! I enjoy your posts! Keep em' coming my friend!

You must spread some Reputation around before giving it to MerryPrankstr again.
