oh the "runty" branches.. dont worry they will get big time is all you need, do you test ph? oh and just think of it like this plants drink & eat just like us, it just so happens that the food (solids) are floating in the water (bowl of cereal) they pick out what they want ,when they want they eat like a picky woman (hmm i guess they are picky women) lol so just like a person can choose to drink the milk first or eat the berries before the flakes plants pick out what nutes they want, this is why you need to do periodic res changes the ppms may be right but not in balance,if you have a plant thats eating all the calcium ,you cant tell from a meter , you can top off the nutes but if its unbalanced you can get a def, or toxic level of something, make sense? lol
Yep, that's where my brain was shifting into after the first response, just takes a little to wrap my brain around it.
I like growing things, so the obsession starts there, and you're right, both big Pharma and a lot of Co-op/Compassion Clubs/Dispensaries charge street price or higher, which doesn't make sense since the street price jump, as those of use over 35 know, more than doubled to trippled as they cracked down on their WOD "war on BS, lol". When I was a teen, street cost was $20 p 1/8 and 35 - 40 p 1/4. Now it's $10 p/g and up. But it's not black market for medical, just don't make sense. And don't get me started on big pharma, @$$h0lE$. I've had migraines, fibro and insomnia since childhood and spent my life on chemical cocktails, switched every few months cause they weren't working, well unless you count me getting sicker and sicker and spending more and more money on meds that weren't helping. I finally took myself off of most of the meds except the occassional zofran when I can afford it and the cannabis doesn't help with the nausea. As a rule, the cannabis has made it a lot more bearable and my girl and I will continue to experiment with strains until we find the right ones for us.
I want to start breeding as well, but one thing at a time. LOL... new lights come next week or early the week after, tent # 1 a few weeks later, etc. I'd like to get both light and tent this month, but the outside garden needs some of that excess income as well, otherwise tomatoes will fall, beans will wobble, squash, cucumbers and melons will be all over the place... also need some diatamaceous earth and need to find the best, low cost, organic, beat up tent catapillars, blight/mold on peppers and spider mites this payday and a few seeds for out there. Since those plants feed us, can't ignore them, lol... I love gardening when I can move through the pain, it's so damned rewarding and after the hard part of establishing is done, it's relaxing to me.
No worries on the novella sized posts, I can, have and sometimes tend to to so as well... Rune can pontificate quite expansiveley on topics of interest or too much smoke, lol.
thanks again BID, you rock.
p.s. some of those tiny braches did start moving up a bit during the dark period and early light period this morning
