Before I get side tracked, I thought I would share this

If their predictions are true, aside from moisture problems, looks like for many of us, we should have no problem finishing our girls, even the late bloomers :)

Not sure mate, until this year, I had never grown in anything but LOS, but She’d should be along before too long and he is my goto for questions of that sort, he has more experience and done more research into it than I have :) My research and experience has always revolves around organics, microbial life and their interactions.

Thanks bro. I should've just stuck with what always works for me. I'm just worried about the seedling because I payed so much for the seeds.

Hey @Foster420, how old is the Promix you are using, and what are you using for nutes?

@InTheShed (if memory serves) ran into issues with pH rise in outdated ProMix and the form of nitrogen in the Mega Crop he was using. There was also another member with those issues and used Jobe’s Tree Spikes to correct the issue.

Yup, me and smokey had similar issues with ProMix past its "best used by" date. We both corrected the pH swing by changing the sources of the N in our nutes, as outlined in the opening post here.

So I was just reading the ocean forest soil is pH balanced to 6.5ish and if I was to use pH down in my water, is that going to have a negative effect?

If you have good results pH'ing your nutes in FFOF, feel free to continue. It shouldn't be necessary but I don't advise changing what works for you.
oldsmokey said:
What that means is the medium will buffer the nute mix to 6.5 regardless of what your mix is going in. So no adding pH down will not adversely affect anything.

Hi folks thought I would run this by you first, Has anyone ever tried to heat the ground if using soil or heating res if using DWC hydroponics system to lengthen a grow season? If your battling the cold winter months in a greenhouse or unheated shed? I was considering to try a experimental grow over the winter in a semi heated shed out back. If I went the soil route I was considering a heating mat under the grow bags to keep roots warm and the same concept if I went with dwc system setup. Let me know what you think or any other cool tricks I could try? ;)

Nope. You can’t heat the earth with a heat mat. Lay down insulation under the heat source might work
 
Well, I decided to take some care into my 2 Blue dream plants late this afternoon as ive been neglecting them a bit dealing with the others.
To my surprise it looks like theyre hermies. 1 I think forsure.
Either way, I think il keep growing them and use it to blast or bake with. Thoughts?

Herby Paisley did you have any frost last night ?? it was cold but none on windshield of car at 6:30 am. they say it will warm up now and be good weather for rest of fall, hope they are right:thumb:


Worked last week-end thinning out sucker leaves, hard to tell but i did thin them out.
I have some plants I'm checking now with microscope, thinking last week of sept and rest are early october or untill frost gets to much.
Have a neville's haze, amnesia, and acapulco gold that will be october and a sour diesel that is a long shot to finish, nov. Purps, black amnesia fast(not that fast), pineapple express #2, shiskaberry, nothern lights, blueberry, blue dream , and king tut are looking good end of sept. The white widow, g13, bubba kush, obinwan kush, and True OG are looking maybe 1or 2nd week of oct.
