BF Laughing Buddha grow

[Weezard]

I've never actually tested runoff from a fresh potting.
I sure will tomorrow, though.
Thanks.

Aloha,
Weeze

Tomorrow is a relative term round here.

Just tasted my Botanicare Coir.
Tastes dry and bland, not at all salty.
Runoff was 150ppm.
124ppm, going in.
Then I read the fine print. Says it's "Flushed of excess Sodium"

Aloha,
W.

Mine only said 100% organic.
Salt is organic.
I just re-read the entire label (which is in 4 languages, I only read the english version)

In amongs the small print is says:

Causion:
This product may be manufactured in a peanut processing plant.
Do not ingest or breatth it's dust. Keep away from children and pets.

What the heck kind of coco did I buy?
There's only a quarter bag left so next bag will probably be Botanicare.

Not gonna sweat it because now eveything is beyond that point now. I love coco in DWC. Thanks for the shove to the darkside.

Thanks for checking it out for me!

I'm also determined to keep well enough to build and grow an aero/fog rig next time.
Gotta have goals, and something to look forwards to.
Thanks again for stopping in, Bro...
BTW all topics are open in this thread.

Ok i need comfort im 6'4 280 not a big belly but more like a lineman kinda look exercise is not to much but i drink alot of liquids and i was clear for 40 days then i smoked on a Friday 9/25 then on the next Friday 10/2 and its been 12 days since i smoked took a urine test today and drank a gallon of Gatorade 2 hours before mixed with vitamin B. How do you think my chances are whats my % of passing?? had a big dinner night before. I Am 18

gcMan800, I don't mind you asking questions like that here, but I don't think I can help you as I don't have any experience in trying to pass a test. I'm a retired farmer so I never took a drug test in my life. Most were still legal when I was still young.
I'm also a legal MJ patient.
I wish you good luck, though...

Well sort of...

The Kandy Kush is blooming like crazy.
The top six inches is now one bud and it already is sugar coated(not supposed to start heavy production for another 2 1/2 weeks). It's so sticky that any cat hair entering my grow area is sticking to the flowers and bracts. I'm gonna have to filter the air going in I think.

Blueberry is coming along fine and G13xhaze is just beginning to flower in ernest.

Laughing Buddha is laughing at me by continuing to veg at 24 days @12/12 hrs.

(LOL)

Would love to see a few pics of your Laughing Buddha plant. I've got one I've been keeping alive for years despite inability to grow it well LOL

I'm also considering moving to Coco instead of acidic peat-based potting soils that seem to need a different amount of lime for every bag :/ Looks like you can treat the coco as soil, just ensure that your pH is in the hydro range?

[MerryPrankstr]

FatSean,

They're in 5 gal DWC buckets right now so I have to wait for Saturday to get enough time to get some clear pictures of the LB.

I sorta treat coco like soil.

In soil you have to let the medium dry in order to get some disolved gasses to the roots. In coco every time you water it carries the gases to the roots so you don't have to wait for the medium to dry before rewatering, given a well developed root system. In fact by not waiting until the coco dries out one avoids the ph swings that nutrient enriched mediums can go through.

This is my present system:

I germ, then transplant into a 3 1/2" pot. When the roots start to form around the sides of the pot I transplant intoa 6" pot. When the roots start to form around the side of the 6" pot I pot it into a 6" net basket witha 5" air stone disk in a 5 gal. DWC bucket environment until the end.

While in coco post minus the DWC I water at least once a day (twice a day the week before DWC) stopping when the runnoff starts to exit the pots.
Leave it sit in the runnoff for about 15-20 minutes, then drain off the funnoff.

I supplied nutients with the water every day except for "flushing" Friday (to avoid salt buildups). My water was measured for Ph and EC.

looking good M.P.! can't believe i have posted in here before. i know i've read at least the first half of this thread before.

nice selection of genetics too! the kandy kush is on my to-do list. can't wait to see how all the ladies finish up!

i got a new probe from hanna. shipped it UPS and everything. the only thing they didn't include was a sasche of calibration liquid. no biggie though, i had some left from what you sent. (thanks again!)

good growing (and karma!)!

Shake, my man...
Forget Kandy Kush.
I see some Rez Chemdog IX-III IBL in your future, bro.
:thumbsup:
Don't throw away any males

Killer gear looks interesting, as do Wally Duck and Doggies Nutz.
I so wish I was younger so I could have enough time to grow them all.
