i dont get all this tracking business. are you using some sort of database program or are you really a serious geek? =p

the way im setting up my grow now (motherless clone army), a schedule goes out of the window. i will measure the passing of time in nodes. 4 or 5 per clone i think, then it gets topped, as soon as the top secondary nodes produce a node of their own, its probably time to put to flower =)

PICTURE DAY!!

Flower Day 28​

Update on status. Removed a Plushberry today. It was scraggly, and yellow... it had to go.

The rest of SideA is doing very well.

SideB continues to be plagued by solution pump problems... The little adapter tube that attaches the Pump to the tube keeps detaching from the pump, leaving the pump to simply agitate the reservoir instead of pumping the solution up top. This has jeopardized the whole grow on SideB, you'll see in a few pics below.











Well, That's it for now.

Peace, Love, and Cannibus.

End A attaches to the Tubing just fine.
End B will not stay securely in Hole C


I've also tried turning it around, but End A will not fit into Hole C

Even easier than i thought.. Plumbers tape is a very thin, moderate friction, plastic tape that is used in water proofing pipe joints that leak.

just wind it around fig B untill you think its a tiny bit too much to fit into Fig C. then you can trim until its perfect =)

Just so you know, I consider the term "Geek" or "g33k" to be a compliment, rather than a ... a... Wow, I haven't used the word in so long I forgot what it was. When you talk bad about someone and call them a word that is supposed to be bad? Sigh... I really can't remember the word...


EDIT: INSULT!! I had to go look it up, lol! How frikkin' funny.

Two words.



PVC glue.



Well, more like one acronym and one word.

Or skip up to an eco185 with a threaded in/out.

DAY 1 N STARVE Cloning/Clear-water propagation experiment.


Okay, so for all those wanting advice on how I clone, I decided to record my EXACT method here... AS IT HAPPENS and record the actual results.

That said, I am also doing it here, because I want to record my experiment... Yes, I'm experimenting with a different/new way that I will take clones. I'm nixing the Rooting hormone, and just going straight from the cutting water, that they are stored in as I take cuttings, to trim, back in another clear water bath to prevent embolism after final trim. Will let them soak for a few minutes as I trim up ALL of the cuttings to be cloned, then I will place them directly in pre-soaked rockwool cubes for rooting. No rooting hormone, no nothing but water on N STARVED plants.


So today marks the first day of N STARVATION. I placed clear water into the feed res for my mothers, and they will get nothing but clear water until I take cuttings in 3-7 days. I'm expecting to see light green in 4 days, like I usually do, but I did not FLUSH this time through, so it could take longer.
