Hey Bill! Thank you so much!!
I got to run here, but when you say "plunger method", do you mean you level the soil, and flood the pot, so it all goes down together, forcing the old air out into the ventilation parfait laters?
Or what is "the BIll284 plunger method"? (Since we are all into plumbing here, it calls to mind some interesting scenarios, haha.)
Got to run, amigo! I will try to follow with short snippets, and hope to catch up either Sunday or next week!
Hope you are all well.

Not sure what page your on.
I did a watering pictorial, not great I know.
I'll do another and get Stacey to hold the camera.
So after I wet the top of the pot I leave it.
Then when I come back I flood the top, usually the root ball is sticking up so all water goes to the outside edges.
That flood of water pushes down.
That forces old air out.
The suction behind it brings in fresh air.
Like a plunger to your pot.
Woosh all at once.
I flood stop and wait, giving time to drain and plunge over and over.
Until it reaches the bottom then I stop.
But it must reach the bottom.
I'll do a drawing when I get a minute.
Hope everything is going good.
Talk soon.

Northern Lights is one of my all time faves… I consider NL “old school” as the original and F1s were “something else” so to speak
Also, the Widow looks fantastic brother.. wowza… another one the OG(old guys) faves. Terp profile is outrageous

Im planning on growing at least one "old school" strain next year myself NL5 x Haze (norther haze), Ive waited 25 years to grow it again. I wonder what it will be like now lol. Comfort smoke?

Hey Bill,
Love the grow. Don't over do it, our old bodies can't take much.
I had a heart attack on Monday morning, had 95% blockage in an artery in the heart. Had surgery on Tuesday, home now and recovering.
This years grow have all be failures, know it going to happen at times but not every attempt in 2022.
I am sure it is from my health issues and not paying attention to my grows, priorities I guess.
Anyway not going to give it another shot until after Thanksgiving, hopefully will be all well and ready to grow.

Again, love what your doing and they look great.
Take care and be well my friend.
Peace out!

Dam that must of hurt like he'll, fek.
What the heck am I going to do about you?
Didn't you just have a couple surgeries back in June?
Hey why didn't they figure this out then?
Nvm sorry I get worked up.
Just rest, do you have medical assistance at home?
Seems a little early to be out without some medical help there.
Ok I can barely keep my eyes open, talk when your well and rested.
Please take care.
Oh thank you so much for the compliment.

I say it all the time.
" I grow roots, that's my thing.
For my efforts they give me huge healthy plants. "
Everyone starts off backwards.
They try and grow a plant.
The plant is secondary.
The plant won't grow unless the roots grow.
Do you understand?
Roots are everything to a plant.
Keep asking.




Stay safe
Bill284

Well put... It's all about whats happening in the soil... and thats where the roots like to live

I was going to wait until I read your whole thread before asking questions, but I got lost on page 4, so may I please ask questions as I go through?

haha... don't feel bad @el gringuito... @Bill284 is so active, informative, and helpful on this thread I can hardly keep up on a weekly... aside from trying to back read the early pages. I've been getting lost in the @Bill284 forest also

Bill please excuse my intrusion and quite frankly sheer rudeness of hijacking this thread for menial purposes but in reality, saving B of his originally deemed name was basically a life or death situation in a way

Here's to a speedy recovery and sending all the good juju!! We can all get another shot at a grow but another shot at life sounds like a better deal right now for you! Take care of you GR8 and so sorry to hear this news all around, including the loss of your grows....

 

[CaptainLucky]

Good morning. Hope your doing ok?
I'm in rough shape from yesterday.
Hunched over 8 hrs straight.
I still have 10 or so to finish.
I had to do it but broke my heart.
I did the math, don't laugh.
The humidity is unsustainable.
100 l a day, it's too much.
So I'm slashing out a 1/3 maby more of leaf matter.
Should reduce the humidity by a bit hopefully.
Talk soon Amigo.

Good morning Bill,
I’m not sure if I’ve cropped this properly but as requested, here is a pic of one of the bigger 2.
She stands a modest 6’ above the soil and is splayed out say 5’ around.
30gal bag.
Not too shabby for a second grow. I’m very excited & nervous at the same time and none of it would be possible without all the guidance I’ve received from so many here since last fall

Big thanks to all those that love to share their experience

Sorry it took me so long to thank you @SCD
Hope your enjoying your weekend.
Your lady is Amazing.
Did you say your 2nd ever? Great work.
Keep us updated if you have time, those colas are going to be killer.
Take care.

Hi Bill, You must spend a few hours a day following up with all your flock I don't have superthrive yet and sadly, my 10 litre bottle of Remo-nutrients was damaged during shipping and will probably take another week at least for the replacement. I went through A-zon to get it.
Although I bought clonex, like you, and use it for the rooting paste, it also says that in can be mixed with the water feed. I have one quart of the stuff and it will last forever if used just for paste.
P.S. Andrea finally found me some red and clear solo-cups so I almost have everything you do besides the superthrive and the delayed remo. Two home-made SIP's should be finished this week-end. My veg ladies are in need of an up-potting.

Cheers!

Hey Amigo I'm late to my own thread.
A little clonex helps in the feed water, foliar I heard aswell.
Bokashi Frass and Dynomyco? Too
Hope your having a great weekend, talk soon my friend .
