That was so frekin cool. Id like to see a weeks worth in there.

Glad you liked it, Baron. A stamp of approval from the Nobility is much appreciated. Longer ones in the works.

Brilliant time lapse Mr Robato... simply two thumbs up!

Shucks... Thank you Mr. Sauga!! Glad you liked it. Camera still recording as we speak.

I did see your running the 20:1 and I have not got it tested .... YET! I do plan on it and when I do I’ll be sure to let you know! I’m interested to find out as well.

Nice time lapse as well! Frickin sweet!

Looking forward to results if and when but no worries; I should get it done myself self but since retiring I have to live on less. I am fine but can't splurge like I could when I was working but I would rather be retired and have to scrimp.

Glad you liked the vid. Being retired I have lots of time and it is too cold to work in the garage so I am taking a deep dive into the video apps like photoshop pro and Illustrator and Premiere Pro but they are pretty complex and have lots of intricate steps; lots of memory work which is not my strong point. In the past, I would learn a fair bit then have to go back to work and would forget most of what I learned. But now that I can keep at it I will see how much of the old noodle is still there.

Use it or lose it (the noodle that is), and it sure looks like you're using it to me!

Thanks, Shed. Good sound advice. My father has alzheimer's so I am a little concerned and like to keep busy and make sure they are... ummm... what was I saying??

 

[InTheShed]

My dad has dementia (or Alzheimers, he was never formally diagnosed), but he's 95 and I sure hope I don't live that long!

Sorry to hear about your dad. Mine is 86 and was diagnosed with Alzheimer's a few years ago. Timing really is the key with death.

With something like that it truly is. I made sure to tell the assisted living place he's in that he never wanted to prolong his life if anything happens.

That’s best. I was reading an article by a doctor who said that many doctors feel pressured into trying to resuscitate people and just cause patients injury and suffering needlessly because the family can’t let them go.

Living wills can help. My wife and I discussed this several years ago and had ours drawn up. We have a synopsis taped to our health cards, also with instructions on how to get the full document.

I have gone through all this with my mother . She has passed these last eight years. While she was able she signed a DNR (do not resuscitate). This is the only thing the Dr.s will abide by. If whom ever you are looking after is not able then a power of attorney will have to sign. It takes a weight off of every ones shoulders.

DNR is part of it. There is also guidance as to what can be done, and when. For example if I lapse into a coma, they are allowed to provide breathing and heart assistance for two weeks. After a month, any feeding tubes must be removed if I'm still comatose.

That is interesting. I just turned 60 this year and I don't even have a will made out. I really should do all that.

That's one good thing about joining our armed forces - you must have a will. I've had one, and nobody has needed it, since I was 19. It should be updated to reflect life's changes, births, marriages, and divorces are the usual culprits.

Wow, that must have been quite the eye-opening dose of reality at 19.

 

[Old Salt]

Not really. It was just more paperwork to fill out. What young adult believes there is even a remote possibility it could happen to them? The general attitude was 'Yeah, right!' and the officer's response was 'You will comply!'

Here are my two Northern Lights, genetically identical clones, that I am doing my Calmag experiment on by just adding it to the one along with MegaCrop for both.

These are about the healthiest greenest plants I have had at this stage of flowering for some reason. They both seem to be doing really well even from below and surprisingly when I plucked off the yellowing leaves from the last four days the plant with Calmag had more bad leaves. The experiment is far from over but at this point, it looks like using Calmag doesn't seem to be worth it. Curious how it works out.

So things are looking pretty promising in the budding department. I got 10 ounces off the mom under the big light alone so it looks like a promising harvest at this point but I probably shouldn't be counting my chickens yet.

Here are my plants in the vegging room. The 98 is a lot bigger with a thicker stock than the 20 to 1 and they were started the same day. I am surprised the 98 is so tall because I expected it to be a squat Indica but I am constantly being surprised at what they do which is half the fun.

After my video with the P 98 reacting so violently from the watering, it developed some leaf curl so I cut back its newts from 3 to 2 1/2 but the 20 to 1 seems fine at 3 g per gallon. I did some research and none of the causes of leaf curl like that seem to apply so it's a bit of a mystery at this point.

I am still making a time-lapse of the 98 from the time it broke ground. Everything else seems to be going swimmingly in the garden. Thanks for stopping by.

Sounds like the response of a lot of my foremen in my early days, lol.

Those NL's are gorgeous Homer. And the new plants look good too. I noticed the leaf edges pointing up though, which could mean light stress. It will also makes some leaves droop to get away from the intensity. Just a thought.

Also, it bugs me when I see leaves resting on the dirt. It's not good for them and they tend to die off faster then they would if they were elevated. Maybe a small stone under them to lift them up?

 

[MrSauga]

What's the calmag brand Homer? Can you post a pic of the N value, Ca and Mg content? Or just tell me, I don't need a pic unless there's a girl holding the bottle.

It certainly does look like it could possibly be light stress but I have a string hanging from my light with a nut tied to the end so I keep pretty accurate distances of 2 feet for both lights and other plants have handled that just fine. It could be that though because I have a pretty stable system now and this plant is reacting in a way others don’t so it must have some sensitivity the others don’t and the light could be too intense for it where others are fine. I was down to 20 inches so I just raised it up to 24 again to be certain. I guess my distances are not always that accurate, LOL. My bad.

We have had this discussion before about stones and although I see it as a valid concern doing so would violate my minimalistic approach because I just don’t think the return is worth the effort but that is just my personal perspective. Others mileage may vary.

 

[InTheShed]

LOL! I certainly never expected an ROI conversation about using a couple of stones to keep leaves off the dirt!
