Hi Brooke..

The biggest prblem with MG is their soil.. Reason being is this.. It usually has a PH of 4.5 - 5.5.. this makes it very difficult for ganja plants to get(absorb) the proper nutrients.. even when you water with 7.0 water...

Although, it is very possible to have a succesful grow using MG soil..it requires dumb luck or water PH adjustments to 8.0...


The MG nutrients on the other hand are fine...

Good morning little princess. Your Night is reporting for duty, LOL. Well, sounds like you are doing ok, and your questions are getting answered in an orderly fashon.
I do not prefer MG because I like to have more control over my soil than it will allow and those time release fertalisers kind of have a mind of their own, alot of the elaments are released according to tempetures and not according to the needs of the plant, so climate has more control than me and that's not what I want. The MG is bassed on the Spring, summer and fall temps and when growing in doors we arn't running our temps in the same way. Don't trip though, my pa and law uses it religiously and pulls off a QP a plant and that is with a 400w MH the whole grow.
You may see that out door gal start to really kick into production now that she is on a controled light cycle.
Well, hope all is well today. You have any of your music to listen to online? I didn't forget.
Adieu

to knowm, you just solved a true mystery for me. i was using the mg soil about half and hafl with two plants, and about 3/4 mg soil and 1/4 bacto, and the ones in 3/4 mg were the best growing, most beautiful. however, my water ph is around 7.5 to 7.8, which the plants have liked even more than when watered with 6.5 ph water. i gess that solves it then. true case of beginner's dumb luck, lol.

as for my teddy bear, (lol)
i have flushed lightly and regularly because of the time released ferts. they are pretty much dissolved away now. i've learned to be able to see their needs. hard to explain, but when one looks sad, i give it nutes and it perks right back up. when one looks tired, i water, when one looks sick, no water or ferts for at least a day (prob analysis period).

out door is becoming a truly amazing spectacle. tonite, i'll count the buds, but i'd gess about 70 to 100, and yes, this is ONE plant we're talking about. and she LOVE'S super bloom!

i'll give you guys an update tonite on the blueberrys.

as for my music, sadly no, there are none of my tracks on the world wide web. i don't have the money for the equipment i need to record, balance, mix, or upload. but they will be someday, "hey, hey, I wanna be a Rock Star"nickleback

well thanx for the responses, boys. i hope some of you will be online later tonite.

love, brooke

hey, can n e 1 show me a pic of male preflowers? i think there is one with balls in the flowerbox, so i'd like to find out asap. i've done a search, but i need to see undeveloped male flowers. thanx

love, brooke

[brookerosebud]

ok, found a half way decent pic (it still sucked) of male preflower. i know what male flowers look like, i just wanted a confirmation on the balls. i did find a good written description, and one of my bb's fits the profile (clusters at the nodes instead of one bulb).

all the rest are either not showing, or have one little ball on each node from bottom to the top of the plant.

one with clusters has the clusters at the top 3 nodes of the plant.

i'll check back in 1 hour, and if there are no responses, this one is goin to the hogs (here piggy, piggy, piggy!)

i hope you guys are online right now, but if not, thats ok.

all clones survived and are vegging now. thank you gk and bluebear. i couldn't have done it without you.

no more females (confirmed females, anyway) to report yet. but the one has even more pistils tonite.

gotta go, my bro is talking to me and i cant do two conversations at once.

love, brooke

[BlueBear]

I am around here little lady. I would say that it fits the description of a mail, and would bag it before you have any problems. Remember I just lost 6 girls to polanation, but have 15 almost ready to go under the 1K, so wish me luck.
You know that we have extreamly low humitity here in Alaska in the winter, wonder how it would work out for your bro.
I'll check back here before I get off tonight.

ok, i changed my mind. i would very much like to harvest some pollen (without contaminating my females) and use it on my next gro to harvest some seeds. when do i harvest the flowers, and how do i store them? how long can you store pollen?

is there any way to only pollenate one bud?

finally, will this plant survive if i put it outside? it has been on a reverse light cycle, so it would get an innitial 24 hours of light.

since it is a male there is no harm in stressing him, is there? heh, i get to torture a man!~breaks out the whips and chains~

well, good night bear, GK

love, brooke

[brookerosebud]

wow, i was typing while you posted bear. i'll wait for your response.

love, ~little princess~

lol

You could throw it out side, or you could set up a small area for it with 1 CFL on it. You can pollinate just one part of your plant. Once you have some pollen , which you could simply store in a zip lock in the fridge, you can take a paint brush and pollinate the part of the female plant, 1 flower site, or a whole branch. Some will cover that pollinated branch with a bag, or plastic rap for a few days so not to pollinate any neighboring branches.
I will look into the best time to take pollen and will try to find out how long you can store poline. It is for a fairly long time, but I want to give you a more informed answer. GK will know right off the top, so I will check back and see if he nails it.
Adieu Little Princess, or should I say Cannabis Queen? LOL
