• Hey Buddy @Bill284
    My condolences on your birthday, I hope ya got some awesome presents to offset the reminder that your getting old JK HAPPY BIRTHDAY A DAY LATE MY FRIEND :happy-birthday:
    I would like your opinion on something, I have been talking to a man from lab in amsterdam they are one of the 2 places I started getting my seeds from Hopefully they will become a sponsor when they do their Budget They have some awesome strains any way I befriended one of the guys there and he sent me some regular seeds from a legendary 40 yr old clone the seeds are regular seeds but they are very expensive for seeds. a couple days later he sent me some seeds from new unreleased strains and asked if I would like to grow these and all he asked was to send pictures of the buds for a release coming out in the future. everything seems legit. is there anything I should be leary of? or is this a common practice in the cannabis industry?

    next question is , the only way I know how to do when it comes to regular seeds is wait till early flower and look for the balls is there any other tricks that are faster and accurate?

    last but not least my current grow Im working on filling in the squares and then going 12/12 Now that I will have a ac I can run the lights during the day. is there a special way you flip I heard of people turning the lights out for 24 to 48 hrs then turn the lights to 12/12 what do you recommend?
    correct me if I am wrong I should start feed the Geoflora Bloom 2 weeks before I switch the closer I get to harvest the more I bump up my Purpinator and Bud candy I am still top dressing with heavenly shores mix. is there any other secrets I could use? foliar spray more gnomes? anything to enhance quality and/or quantity?

    Thank you :thanks:

    Talk to you soon
    Stay Safe stay Stoned
    ** I got the exact AC unit you showed me, funny thing is I had it in my cart before you mentioned it it has a very good rating and is one of the to p picks of 22**

    @Bill284 I did it again this is what Im doing posting inside a post. n I lowered my light and I am planning on adding one of my 250 watt Burple light From what I read every place the to lights overlap the plants get the benefits from both.
    Im done this time have a good one :snowboating::sorry:
    Bill284
    Bill284
    Uvb I believe is like giving them a sun burn.
    They produce more and bigger trics in response ti it.
    Do it at the end before harvest.
    Couple hrs before lights out.

    Use your blurple too , it can help.
    Good night Amigo. :ciao:

    The process requires a cure of a couple weeks minimum after drying.
    Do you know how to do that my friend?
    Message me in my purple pics thread.
    We can get it taken care of for you.
    Talk soon.

    it seems we were both adrenaline junkies in ours younger days, I wish we had phones growing up in some ways I would love to have more pics of the stuff I did but no it is just reduced to the ramblings of old men. I keep trying to tell my grandson we come from a different time men were expected to be tough walk around with a puffed out chest. I tell my Gkids stories of the day and all they see is a old man who the only things that sticks out is his belly and say yeah right but we know their try I would appreciate the whole picture makes me wanna dig out the Kodak pic of me jumping out of a airplane.
    I removed some fan leaves after giving my plants their 2 nd feeding over another fresh layer of heavenly shores mix minus the dynomyco and I unleashed a grow fest I am blown away my net is gonna fill up fast at this rate. I wanna know some of your secrets about switching to flower I know you got something up your sleeve I will say I DO NOT MISS FF NUTES!!! this method is a different game the living soil no deficiencies the one runt Im pretty sure is the one that got the bottom of the roots got damaged during transplant (the mound method eliminates that problem BTW ) if nothing else ya know I listen to ya at least 85% of the time that's double whats the wife gets I am at a lost most of the time Im asking for help or having a hair on fire moment now my biggest concern is buying a portable AC and moving back to the sun room 8000 btu port ac unit 12 x12 x24 fits in the tent I have a exhaust vent thermostat ran its perfect I think
    well Bud Just touching base waiting to see your pic

    stay safe , stay stoned :high-five:
    good morning my friend

    I was addicted to buying seeds for a few month I have some really good seeds I have 5 Durban poison and 5 Hindu Kush both are cold weather strains Grow cannabis is better than going to school I have learned geography, the metric system and math like no tomorrow had they said "Pay attention your gonna wanna learn this stuff to become a successful pot grower. all us stoners would have been straight A students instead we had to hide from the war on drugs (thanks Nancy and Betty)(regan/ford OMG :rollit:

    Savvage61
    Savvage61
    yes but it seems to be getting better I read where it takes some people 6 weeks the gelato I harvested in may or june smells good now but at least 8 weeks But I remember my first grow (clones)never had that issue do you think strains maybe part of the problems ? everything I have grown from seed is either a freebie from herbies or one out of there discount packs I used them al;l up and I belive i am done with autos for a while like I said since then I got my seeds from either a lab here in the us and Amsterdam I paid triple the price for better genetics like fruity pebbles and moonrocks along with the DP and HK, zskittles, and a bunch of the others I have I dont knw why I got so many seeds I hope VA ups the number of plants so many strains such little time now on the godzilla cookies I grew 1 plant produced long dense buds very grassy the other one produced buds that were small rock hard and covered in crystals they reminded me of a bunch of grapes you pick of and smoke one rather than eat one they smell awesome same strain of plant grew right next to each other im sorry about hoping around I send it PM when I want to talk directly to you-. its your fault if you werent so knowledgeable and likeable let alone have so much in common with an old fart like me I wouldnt pester the heck out of ya :plol

    Hope everything is going well this morning.
    Talk soon.
    hey bud hope all is well tell the miss's hello from the state s down under
    I usually top my autos in week 2-3 should I go ahead and get it over with or wait till I flip (haha ONLY WAY IM GOINBNA FLIP IS IF i FALL A LONG DISTANCE LOL) 3 out of 4 are doing awesome the runt is growing as many nodes it is just smaller Im going to set the net 1.ft to 14 in at the rate she is going she 'll be under the net next week or two and input would be awesome These plants look a lot different from the herbies pack they look heartier than my auto did just comparing the pics I can see the difference. Honestly the last couple harvests takes so long to get rid of the grassy smell Im drying them slow plenty of air all my plants ive grown the last 3 grows are a Herbies Specially pack and most contain Herbies GG except my Gelato which smells goo9d but took 5-6 weeks is it uncommon to take that long? on this grow ill learn if spending a little extra money is worth it and how much is effected by genetics who knows maybe I was just meant to grow rope lol
    Take care buddy
    talk soon
    i BET IT SEEMS ODD NOT RECIVING A EMAIL WITH MY HAIOR ON FIRE EVERY OTHER DAY HUH? LOL dang cap button and sausage link fingers

    1 more question Just starting the PHoto scrog grow with 4 plants in a 4x4 tent, let them veg till they fill the underneath of the net
    flip the switch then add second net in 9-10 weeks dry/cured/trim rinse and repeat ?

    Hope you and stacie are doing well I just found a set of new Gnomes Im going to get it and enter Photo of the month is id a gnome house right next to the river with a garden Im going to call it heavenly shores. when Im done Heavenly shores will be better known than the Emerald Triangle

    As far as I know that sounds correct.

    hey bud 2 main questions your getting both barrels with me Im curing and germinating 2 crops at once

    1. ok the girls got their head out da sand and the speed in which it happened is unbelievable my question is how long should they stay in the solo cup? I have myco throughy out the cup medium and a inch of perelite on the bottom next stop 5 gal pot but when?

    2. using the geo flora when do I start the veg feeding?

    That's it for now you need to start charging for your help you would be rich

    Did you put a clear cup under?
    I like to fill the cup first.
    But proper watering can do it quicker.
    As soon as I had leaves I'd be giving some geoflora.
    You can give it any time. It's microbes that feed your roots.
    Get them going in the soil.
    You can't burn her with them. :thumb:

    No I did not put a clear cup under it I see the benifit of that now :idea: that ya mention it I was gonna get some but I figured I had plenty of solo cups , lol first lesson learned. Man I can belive how quick I went from seed to sprout, I did understand the benefit of the heat mat and how the heat accelerates the crack I went from seed in the fridge to sprout in a cup inm under 5 days. I have waited longer than than usin gh the first step of the old paper towel method. the only thing other than Myco and purpinator Geo flora is it and I want this to be my best grow. these are my first quality seeds I got everything perfect and now I know enough to really fug things up lol. hey man have a good night I got leaves I can open my geo flora veg:cheer:
    oh wait is there anything to do to make sure your seedling doesn't get top heavy reaching for the light

    @Savvage61 ... that's not RO. all the pur filter does is scrub odour. it lets the rest of the shit through. it'll be the constantly changing municipal water causing an issue if it is the water. that particular filter doesn't do anything.

    @bluter yeah it just caught me by surprise I been doing everything by the book. I am finding out now that a lot of people seem to have issues with Fox farm trio dont get wrong I made a lot of mistakes but I learned a lot by screwing up i started week nine 9 , 2 days ago trouble free woke up to find a 1/3 of my leaves yellow they alway change right before hjarvest but this was too many in a short time 3-4 weeks and ill harvest my next grow will be 4 photos under a scrog 2 black berry moonrocks and 2 nuclear scary bubbles. Thx Bluter at least i can rule out the water every grow gets better and better maybe this one will be be pristine .but then ill have trouble getting my bloated head in the tent lol any thx and have a great evening
    for got something I had been using Tap water running iot thru a PUR water filter on the spicket I think it is reverse othmosisus could that cause issues (spell check where are you) we are on city water and it changes when ever we hav e a storm or someone craps in the road, it is constantly changing its PH but I alway shoot for 6.34 would going back to distilled water thx bud
    Bill284
    Bill284
    Sorry forgot this one.
    Ro water requires cm , have you been using it from the beginning?
    As long as your setting ph to 6.3 it shouldn't matter. :thumb:
    Have a great weekend Amigo.
    I am guessing if we were younger and less wiser than we are now we would have kicked this thing is the azz in a few days. I guess whaty I am saying as we get older we trade endurance for wisdom I guess Id rather be young, dumb and full of (you know how it goes LOL than be a sick old smart ass.

    I have a issue I would like your opinion on I threw it in purple pics hoping someone might pick it up I am dealing with a issue and im not sure what it is ever since I started this plant it has been growing under the canopy is a big cabbage ball I have cleaned it out sevral times and it still isnt right now im getting the crap on the lower to middle leaves like below I checked my soil PH and it says 6.6 every thing I put in it has to be 6.5 to 6.2 I shoot for 6.3 but take what is close as not to ping pong my ph the plant next to it is identical and a pristine plant same ph same everything. I need these 2 to finish so I can start my next photo grow with quality seeds from Nukehead labs and grow some real pot no more of these autos lol. I know I should prolly flush But right now i aint up for it Im considering throwing some worm casing on top adding some cal mag plus and say screw it what do you think it is ? after checking the chart im guessing it is a Molybdenum or Boron issue both are rare I know my temps are runnin between 68 F lights off to 79 F-80 f lights on after 16 hrs, I will be so glad to be done with Fox Farm,mad scientist kit, Geo Flora makes much more sense I hope this post makes sense My hair is on fire and Im sick lol

    I've barely had time to post a couple pics, let alone check my notifications. :Namaste:
    I'd flush the pot with 3x volume after water then feed again at 6.3.
    You been pounding the chelated nutrients into her for months.
    The left over salts are overloading the root zone.
    Sorry it's a pain I know.
    But it will get them eating again right to harvest.
    Hope your having a great morning Amigo.

    Hey buddy you feeling any better yet? if ya weren't so dang old you would have bounced back. I going over my next grow and I am done with fox farm I got 2 4lb bags of geoflora (veg & Bloom and a nice lil pack of Dynomyco) I understand the Geoflora But not so much about the dynomyco. How do you use it? also the only other thing I plan on using is Purpinator do you recommend anything else ? I was wondering about the fox farm solubles for budding Open sesame/blooming Budz /cha ching 1/4 teaspoon 1 time a week (potassium and phosphorous) would that be too much with purpinator?
    Thx Bud get better soon

    Good morning my friend. :ciao:
    The Dynomyco you sprinkle directly onto the roots.
    Then I mix some into the soil or coco.
    I explain it all in my pictorials.
    You can get away with just the Geoflora nutrients if you want.
    Purpinator is great if you already have it then use it.
    The other stuff is usable but not necessary.
    Geoflora and Purpinator will be more than enough nutrients.

    Hey @WenworG sorry about your tummy.
    I have a terrible problem digesting food.
    Until I started taking RSO. daily my life was hell.
    Now RSO has helped me with so many health I recommend it to everyone.
     Ricky  Simpson  OIL. =  RSO he made it to cure cancer but its great for so many things.
    I'm on just a maintenance dose now, one dose 4 pm every day.
    Absolutely love this stuff.
    I also take cbd every morning it's excellent aswell.
    Hope your ok my friend.
    Hey bud
    Just wanted to say I haven't disappeared My pc parts arrived and the motherboard was bad so I had to return them and I'm back to waiting My plants are beautiful I think one of the best parts of growing is seeing those beautiful buds I guess buds are to me what flowers are to normal people lol I got some pics as soon as I'm back on ill post them'. It sucks I cant work like an unpaid vaction to broke to do anything and to depressing to want to
    Any way take care be back soon
    Hey Bill, sorry for posting again.
    I gave my plants plain water 4 days ago and they need to be fed today. I was supposed to give them nutes this time but since I bought this “belem” product I am not so sure how to do it.
    Since they got no nutes last time I suppose skipping on the nutes again wont kill them and I just give them water+ belem.
    I will mix less than advised?
    Do i just water them normally till runoff or do I give a little bit of the belem with 500mil of water and 1l water with nutes?
    Or 1.5l of water and belem
    Or how do I do it..
    I should have thought of this earlier. I saw some flying gnats when my gf shut the whole thing off.. there was no air circulation and they must have laid their eggs.. the bigger plants have not grown in size since weeks but they are developing buds.. maybe too late now what do you think?

    Sorry I feel like i must give you half of what Im going to harvest.. and thanks once again for helping
    Bill284
    Bill284
    No worries on the pot my friend.
    Feed them as normal.
    As soon as your finished feeding give them the plain water with belem in it.
    Then belem on plain water days.
    Hope that helps.
    It's easier if you post in my purple pics thread.
    That's the link.
    I trouble shoot problems there.
    Have a great day my friend. :ciao:
