Thanks for stopping by for a visit...

Well I hurt Casey today and have added a new clone as a result. I was tieing the top of her main stem a little more with a new tie. I didn't notice that one of her other ties was cutting ever so lightly. Well if that cut wouldn't have been there I would have been great but I put a little tension on the line and "zip" down falls her top 3 inches. I gasped and ran for the rock wool cubes. I primed it, sliced off a few extra laves, gel, and into the cube. I hope I acted quick enough. Casey should be fine, she has a nice branch right ther so I hope it takes over the main stock. Actually with her shape right now it might be a good thing. I'm just worried about the shock since they just started flower cycle officially today.

On a better note I'm getting the canopy pretty level. Just 2 more plants to pull into line then it's just maintiance from there. I Tie the Afghanis becasue they are so high, and because I can get little brances growing off the brances I pull horizontally. The northerns I tie because the leaves are so broad that they block out te branchs beneath them, but once you shead some light on those branchs they bush out nicely.

I wish I still had the camera, but it may be a few weeks before I get it back, by then there should be lots of changes.

I also threw some baking soda and vinegar drip in there and I'm trying out plain old active yeast and sugar water to see what happens. I only plan on having the baking soda and vinegar go at certain times for an hour or so, and just leaving the yeast in there all the time and capping it at night if it works out. But we'll see.

I also picked up molasses yeasterday(can you tell it was grocery day?), so I'll be adding that in my next feed of just water. Then after that I think I'll pick up some bigbud or something. I think I might have a little lock out happening because of pH issues so I'm am going back to the basics because I'm tired of flushing everytime I water because I'm paranoid. There is no burn and they aren't stunted but I think they could be growing a little faster so now I get to experiment and have fun.

With the stage 2 dryer being open I didn't have such a controled enviroment and I was just learning the basics as I went. I figure I should master on thing before moving on to the next upgrade that way it is easier to identify the problems and make the adjustments. Now that I have a few things under my belt I get to get my feet a little wet with getting a little more advanced. I don't just want to grow alot of weed, I want to grow weed well and make the most of every plant.

It's amazing how much my high school chemistry and physics help me with this, Makes me glad I graduated a stoned honor roll student, lol.

But anyways I have things to check and monitor, oh yeah another afghani clone sprouted a root that's 4 for 5! Thanks for popping in I'm here all the time.
