I hope you can make it through without a hassle from you know who. such a bummer that they waste time on something that is so harmless and unimportant compared to all the other lunatics out there carrying guns, doing real (hard) drugs, and the gangs that basically run the street in most major metropolitan cities.
Seedlings are now in 6.5ltr square pots. I have 22 plants total under 2 600w hps at this point. I am considering taking a few cuttings from the flying dutchman pure to top the numbers up a touch. Would have been happier with 30. Once again my incompetent grow partner managed to kill some of the seedlings as he thought it would be a good idea to drop the 600w hps about 8inchs above them. Why cant people just leave things alone and listen to people who have experience??? Not to worry I got there in time to avert a huge disaster. He's already killed 27 cuttings. maybe i should look to find better help! pics to follow tomoz.
Another 5 cuttings taken from my flying dutchman pure today.
Cuttings taken from centre plant.
Repotted seedling. 6.5litre square pots containing canna professional coco coir.
Using clear plastic cups as mini propogators. Room humity is relatively low and had to switch to 600w hps x2 so thought this best way to deal with situation.
So hope u guys like what you see so far. I'll update with further pics on weekly basis unless there are any major developments. Any comments or constructive criticism welcome.
I wonder if anyone can help? I have installed a 5 stage R/O filtration system with brand new filters and membrane today. However My ppm on the water is 150, this cant be right? my tap water is 130/140ppm? strange......
Does your RO system have a tank? mine does and i had to flush it by running i think 10 gal through it. Idk if that will help but that what i had to do.
yeah it has a tank. but i run what would be to tap to an 80litre bin with shut off valve. going to fill it then empty it and check then. hope it works, i hate head aches and complications. my goods will still be great though regardless
Ok water problem solved. System just needed good flush after new filters installed.
I have tied down the 3 Flying Dutch pure as considering training for mothers. They all looking good. Pics to follow.
I real excited about this grow. i have lots of grows behind me but this one has strains i've not grown before and i got a nice space. I feel like a kid at christmas.
I feel like not enough people are checking my grow out so any tips on getting a few more people in would be nice......
Best tip I can give you to get more people in here would be to become more active on the forum and visit others journals. Typically they will then visit yours.
This is the basic nutes I use during veg phase, others added for flower cycle.
And here a couple pics of the original flying dutchman pure that i started with. I've tied them down a little and took few cuttings from them. Debating on whether or not to just keep these 3 plants as mothers.
so here are the babies in veg 6 days after last pics taken.
This is the Big Bang. looking lovely if i do say so.
Finally I have a mutant in the mix. This is the A.M.S strain. Just going to grow it out and keep close eye on it herming. Had couple mutant A.M.S in my last grow and they turned out the best bud! fingers crossed.....
Maybe its just a late bloomer. All seeds germinated at same time and had same treatment....
As always all costructive criticism welcome..........
Just spotted black fly in grow room. nightmare, was hoping this be a peast free grow. i hate using pesticides. Any ideas anyone? These are young plants, so i dont want to damage them. I gutted, I sterilsed this room completely before set up. They must have hitched a ride on me from another friends grow!
I am going to use the fumite smoke bomb to try deal with the black fly infestation. I need to deal with this prob now as they are taking over the place. Does anyone have any experience with this sort of pest control and its effects?
I have decided against the funite bomb and today used a product called Tanlin (active ingrediant chitin). Basically added 130 drops to 20 litres of R/O filtered water and i am to add once a week. I have also hung the sticky fly catchers up for now. Hopefully the larvae will burst as described on bottle the my multi enzyme should break up and allow the plants to feed on the remains of the larvae instead of the other way around!
