Conradino23 Keeps On Keeping On Outdoor & Indoor Using LOS/High Brix Methods

They get some LED light in the morning and in in the evening, which I think is a very good scenario.

they like that a lot im just afraid of bugs yours are out there on the ledge way above the ground less likely to get bugs there not like my bug ridden back yard im going to have to spray everything out there before I put my plants out to harden off :)
 
There are plenty of bugs, it's a countryside after all, but I'm not really concerned. The worst I ever experienced were mites in a strictly indoor grow. Outdoor full season you might get borers, but if you spray for them early there are no problems. My ledge on the other hand is very resourceful and allows me to get 8-9 hrs of sunlight a day and the worst I experienced growing this way were a few thrips in bloom. Nothing to be really concerned about. It also allows me for good fungus gnats control. Sun burns the eggs to dust, so when I put my plants back the soil is nice and clean. And I've noticed a few youngstas flying in the beginning of this run, but now I see maybe one in two days.

BD and IB got cat today, a few days earlier than I do it usually, but their soil is really low on nitrogen, so I couldn't risk waiting more.
 
When will you and your lady be able to get tested for the covid Con? Along with supplies (i.e. masks and gloves and disposable gowns), there's apparently still a considerable shortage of tests.

Happy to see the outside ledge getting more use. Your plants always seem to enjoy that natural light and fresh air. Lebanese looks great.
 
Now we're gonna have to take the antibodies test like the whole country, but IDK when that's coming.

Leb looks great indeed and I pushed into very confined space indoor, cause I don't have anything else and the other two are occupying flowering box. This is a type of plant that's very strong. Hot, cold, too little water, too much water, low RH, high RH, she just doesn't care :)

Love plants like that. Good breeding stock.

ive seen some pics of those in there native area and they look like plants trying to survive in the desert so there pretty much ready for what comes ive got a 5 pak of those I want to do sometime lol :)

Yeah they grow them in a very arid climate, where there's extremely little water throughout the season.
 
I had two gals before both CBD plants, but I loved them :)

Yep, it's the shear numbers that hit the hospitals all at once. I'm pretty close to one of the hot spots in the US. I only go out for food and people are scared. The stores are still having a hard time stocking toilet paper which I just can't understand.

We live in New York out in the country we've been what they calling "stay at home" since March 3 or so..... Wearing masks when we go out with a micron filter added. Don't go out much at all.

The thing with TP is that its a social thing. Having extra gives people a fasle sense of security in that they wont run out of TP.... yawn. It won't be the end of the world if I have to use a news paper or a rag if worse gets to worse. lol

On a real note tho. I did a little research on the Covid-19. Turns out that folks that get a mild version actually get diarrhea as the symptom. The Covid-19 virus actually our guts have a 100x more covid receptors in our small intestines than in our lungs. Why folks that dont get a cough they can get diarrhea or no symptoms at all.

Why this flu is so bad. Its highly contagious thru the air and 20-40% exposed don't get a cough or any symptoms so they spread the virus unknowingly. Likely this virus has been with us for a long time now. Like plants viruses mutate. It likely mutated to a deadly version for hoo-man. And here we are!

Con I'm glad to hear you are on the mend. I had a feeling when you first got sick you had the covid virus. A lot of people are dying now here in New York. Over 700 per day now.

We are hunkered down - I can watch my plants grow. It's our new old entertainment! lol
 
Good to know you're well, man. US is in for rough 2-3 weeks I'd say. We're starting to flatten the curve just now, but there's no way we can stop the contagion totally before May or even June.

Cat is cationic drench, which means you only use ingredients that decompose to cations. It's a way of stimulating strictly reproductive growth (flowers), which works very well in HB soil.
 
Mine is mostly low potassium fish meal (so amino acid and mineral based) which I spike with lithothamnium that I used to add separately, but now I unified it with the drench and to that I add I add a specific seed extract usually sesame that releases phytic acid (a form of phosphorus)... but now I replaced it with mung bean sprouts. I like sesame best from everything else I used like pumpkin seeds or lentils, cause apart of phosphorus it's also a powerful shoot of calcium and magnesium. I take it through stages, I brew it more or less like ACT but with vinegar. When it starts to stink that you cannot even keep it in the room, then I know it's ready :)

Comfrey and nettles are nitrate based, so you inject a lot of anions, which is the opposite of what cat drench should do.
 
The stink is the ammonia? The thing that is specific to cationic drench are the ammoniac-bound nutrients - the ionic charged medium. Ammonium phosphate for instance.
 
Thanks Con, I've tried many of those teas not sesame seed tho.

I have mung beans in spades on hand.

Also have your lithoanium and of course fish bone meal.


So you add vinegar to start the decomp. I'm guessing that speeds things up, the vinegar.

I've made tea with comfrey and nettles that will stink pretty bad real bad actually.

I started doing anaerobic tea sealed jars because of the stink but it takes months to finish. I have 2 jars finished.

I'll add some lithothamnium dilute and water in and see how it works.

Startc. working on mung bean sprouts.

Thanks brother.

I don’t think so. These are most likely fish amino acids breaking down. I only use urea (ammonia) with heavy feeders, cause there’s enough nitrogen in fish powder for the plants to finish flowering usually. This time I might go with second feeding seeing the soil is very low on nitrogen. It’s 8th or 9th run of these pots without correction between the cycles and they’re small 6L.

Sesame works best for me. Over the years I stuck with it for the predictable results it brings when mixed with all the rest. Growers don’t think much about seeds usually, but in fact it’s a cheap and powerful fertiliser when processed correctly and used in the right time of the cycle. Phosphorus adsorption in soil is way better than with calcium phosphate as this is acid form we’re using here.

Lithothamnium is one of very few store bought products I’ve been using for the last 6 years. It has a perfect Ca:Mg ratio and a lot of other goodies in small concentration. If you haven’t used it then it should be an interesting tweak :)

I start brewing everything with vinegar, cause it improves solubility of calcium. Calcium phosphate and calcium carbonate take acetate form. It’s not a great improvement, cause these compounds really take time to break down, but it’s better than nothing.
