WTH maybe you should just change the name of the journal Aston lol. I don't understand why you are posting pics in someone else's journal Debudman. Make your own and I will be the first to sign up. Just, I like to jump back pages for comparison and your pics are screwing it all up lol.
I don't want to sound like an a** because I know its not done in any disrespect. If you think I'm wrong let me know and I will shut up.
 
Small420,

I would never do anything to purposely ruin Aston's journal. Since the two of us have similar outdoor grows going I post a few photos of mine from time to time to compare. This again is not done to ruin his journal, but to compliment it. If you and others feel that way, then my apology. No more photos from me will be posted here.

Whats good small!!!
Hey man listen, I dont mind anybody being here, im not trying to come off as an ass hole myself, but i dont like trash talking in my journals, I welcome anybody and everybody to post up pix of their ladies, pix of problems they might have to show. my good friend Debudman, does this because he never started his own journal, when he started here on :420: forums he was nothing but a behind the bushes kinda guy, you know the 1's that come read but dont login or post anything!!! well he came here and I was quick to jump to help!!! he posted his initial post about his ladies in a FAQ section, as you know, nobody really keeps any FAQ's updated except for NDub and his hotline!!! but anyways, like debudman said, we have grows that are near the lifetime of each other!!! so we have been keeping up with each others grow even off the forums, we chat through messengers also... I know your not trying to come off as an ass, just like im not either!!! I respect everyone and appreciate you all for following, helping, and commenting on my journal, it has came a long way!!! if you want to see a comparison just go to the members gallery, all of my photos that i post are in there!!! its where i go to look at anybodies that i look back on!!!

I hope we can now look past this and get the rest of this grow on!!! but thank you for putting in your thoughts also small!!! gotta love that first amendment!!! No hate from my side!!! we're all growers here, or at least have the passion for it!!!

LOL well glad your back!!!

Small420,
No harm done.
I will keep you posted when I start my next journal.

Aston,
Thanks for keeping the :peace:
You are a good man my friend. :goodjob:
 
Well Aston,
It is supposed to get up in the 90's today...(One Hot Mutha!)
It has been a tough season battling the mites, bird shit, and now
I have a new preditor, A big fat RAT!. It is eating all my tomatoes. Everytime one starts to ripen the bastard eats it. I thought of putting out a trap, but didn't want to hurt the squirrels. I am thinking of getting one of those humane traps that catches them and then you can safely release them elsewhere. Fortunately he hasn't attacked my weed yet.

As for the birds, my plant just suffered another attack. Out of all the places a bird shit could hit, it landed right on one of my major buds (can you believe that?)

My ladies have been doing well under the circumstances.
My shorty that preflowered early had some big fat buds on the lower stalk pretty close to the ground. I noticed a couple had molded. After seeing that I figured I would strip out all the molded buds and toss them (Very hard to do). Then I clipped all the good ones (got about 1/2 oz or so) and am drying them in my closet. I bought a kewl digital temp/hydrometer so I could keep an eye on the humidity to make sure it doesn't climb over 55 percent or so. It has been staying between 50-55 with temps in the low 70's. I have been reading a lot of various drying/curing methods. The good thing about clipping these early is I can test the difference between flushed buds and non flushed buds. I thought that would be an interesting test.

What drying/curing methods have you used?

I have been boosting the phosphorous feeding for my ladies.. I am now feeding full dose every other watering. I am hoping this will make the buds swell like a football. So far so good, no adverse affects to the nutes at this level. Nutrients are important at all levels, but I think during flowering is the most critical time.
Are you using the BPN nutes for your outdoor too? :popcorn:

Have you overcome that last issue you had mentioned?
I assume you went ahead and flushed and added fresh nutes?
 
Whats good Debudman,
Now I am not using BPN yet, I have about 1 more feeding of FF and I will have used all the flowering nutes except for the Tiger Bloom, I have a friend that wants what I have left over, so in about 3 days when I feed again, it will be the last time they get FF!!!
Yes I did a flush!!! a major flush!!! the water was just flowing out of them!!! but the leaves are still curling under like claws, that is about the only problem I have right now!!! the pH is at 6.7 today when I checked em, so i know its not a nute problem, or maybe its not getting all of the nutes that it needs??? wonder if BPN can turn her around on that??? from my calculations I she is somewhere in the 4th week, If i got my timing down right!!! hmmmm.... something to think about!!! might just do a flush day after tomorrow and switch em over to BPN for the final flowering!!!
I think trimming off the flowers from before would be a good idea, you have to remember they sat there with all that moisture in them for longer than 8 - 10 weeks, so they might have started decomposing!!! can't wait to see what you have in store for harvest!! its getting so exciting!!! we are almost there my friends!!!

I wish I could invite everybody over for a clipping party at harvest!!!


:peacetwo:
 
I've read so much about PH and made my decision to target the 6.0 to 6.5 range for soil grow.
I found my tap is about 6.8 and when adding my nutes to a 1.5 gallon jug it drops the ph to the perfect 6.3 range. Then to deal with the chloromines (chlorine & ammonia) I hit them with Amquel a fish dechlorinator. It's nice cause it neutralizes the chlorimines immediately. It only takes 6 drops to a couple gallons or so. I still feed my ladies using my 2 gallon watering can. I prepare their solution individually. I filled my 30 gallon garbage can with just plain clean 6.3 PH water.

When you say your PH was 6.7, was that soil, water?
Did you check water only, then PH the water runoff, then check soil?
I'm sure they will turn around soon.

It is very exciting at this last stage. The changes that are occuring are major at this point. It will be interesting to compare the results. To bad we weren't growing the same strain as well. That would make for a more accurate comparison. I want to see the difference between mine fed with synthetic chemical grow and yours as an organic grow. Also if we dry and cure using a similar method how they both taste. Hopefully we don't taste any of the Azamax. I just sprayed again yesterday. This product has definitely kept my mites at bay and has greatly minimized attack. Now I just find very minimal reminents of damage to a few fan leaves.

I love my meter that I picked up.. Here is the one I got, except mine is the wired version (minus the remote)I never had a humidity meter before. :)
 
Yeah I paid like 23.00 after tax I believe.
I really like it.

I looked at the Hanna PH meters too.
I was going to get one, but still wanted to learn more about all the options.
I still haven't learned about EC, other than it is like a more accurate method of measuring PH cause the readings don't fluctuate. I see myself moving into hydro someday and thought I might just have a need for those functions. But on the other hand, times are hard these days and trying to budget. They did have the standard PH meter for 70 bucks, and the mid grade blue meter that measures PH/EC/TDS for 82.00 and their top model for 125.00 . I was thinking that the 82.00 model might fit right.
What do you think? :)
 
Outdoor harvesting in the Southbay California occurs I would say typically between September and October based on the strain you are growing. You can estimate, but only really know for sure when to harvest keeping an eye on the Trichomes. When those babies turn from cloudy to amber and most are amber then you are ready. Some harvest a bit sooner or later depending on the type of high they want to get. What ya think Aston?

Since Aston and I have similar grows, and my timezone switched to 12/12 a bit sooner I would say we both have at least 1 more month. Aston maybe can squeeze 2 in.
