InTheShed Grows Inside & Out: Jump In Any Time

New life! Always so exciting!

I'm learning a lot about capsules now haha
 
Speaking of new life, Carnival is up!
:yahoo:
 
Hope everyone is having a great week. I spent the morning flipping freshly rooted clones upside down and submerging them in neem oil for 10 minutes each. I figure either the neem oil will either kill the clones or the bugs can't hold their breath for more then 8 minutes and drown. I will do this every other day until either the clones or the bugs are dead. I am mixing the neem at about 70% strength.

Once finished dipping the clones I began day four of treating my sativa dominant Candida CD-1 plant with colloidal silver. I am treating her right at lights on and right before lights out. I'll do this for a total of 10 days and then flip her into flowering where I will continue treating her with the CS till I see boy parts.

I got in four tubs of Vulx from one of our sponsors and have begun planning a comparative grow to see if it really works as described. Trying to determine how much to add per gallon with my soil weighing between 4 and 5 pounds per gallon. Still trying to get my head around why I would want to give the plants less water then a plant without Vulx. I'm sure there is good, reliable information floating around out there somewhere.

Have a great weekend ya'll.

Let's hope I find out what sex the AF-47's are a bit earlier than this grow, because why not!

Good luck with the neem beez! And great news on the CD-1 reversal :). I'm down to my last bean!

I thought Vulx was pretty specific about the grams per pound in soil but I don't have the latest sheet in front of me. But if you have any Vulx questions I'd put them in Mr Vulx's thread here. He's never long in answering.
 
Hey there Mr Shed, your title mentions nothing about jumping "back in" at anytime.

Is this an option? Hope so, been away for a year or so.

Coming back with an inside and out grow myself.

Good to see you've been keeping things green, I'll try and catch up as best I can.

:Namaste:
 
So what the difference between Kalashnikov and ak47?

In the case of @beez0404 - whose soil weighs approximately 5lbs per gallon - it is 0.25lbs/4oz/113g per gallon.

Quite a heavy blend compared to what I normally come across.

To be clear, it's not as if you should decide on a magical amount to reduce how much water you give the Vulx plant. How, and to what extent, you give it less water depends.

If you're watering to runoff, then generally watering until half the amount of runoff you would normally get is adding the same amount of water.

If you're feeling experimental, treat one pot, and leave one pot as a control and just do a quick test. Add x amout of water to the control pot using the methods you would normally use until you get y amount of runoff. Then add x amount to Vulx pot and see the change and go from there.

This would be useful regardless of if you water to runoff, as you'd get a clear picture of exactly how the medium is being affected.

If memory serves, you're in organic soil. I am not sure why you'd water until significant runoff in that case.

I just visited another thread where a Vulx plant had standing water in the pot.. so if you water two pots the same amount and that happens, water less. (Please) Edit: he's got a technique to deal with this, so apparently all good (but obviously in general this would not be something I recommend).

Very likely (though it depends on several factors) that the increased retention will require you to water less frequently. Don't use the "finger in the dirt" method. Use a moisture meter or something.

After you do your runoff test in the two pots, just leave them for a few days and see how dryback is affected.

During veg you need that dryback, make sure it is happening - it depends on you to determine if your materials, methods, and style require you to water less per watering, with less frequency, or both.

When the roots become established, i.e. they take up the whole pot - it's very possible you will have to water more. We had Vulx tested and the lab gave us the figure "350% availability vs soil." So, if you have a pot that's fulla roots and Vulx, they could be drinking faster, especially considering the roots are more developed than your control plant.

@beez0404, how much of that weight is water weight mate?

Yes, please use the dry weight when measuring that. Someone else asked me this very question today oddly enough. Never thought to specify that.
 
This is Shed's thread, though. My ears were tingling so I wanted to respond here to make sure to answer it where it was asked.

Ask me anything. Any time. Anywhere.

It doesn't make me happy to see sad plants. After a year (wait.. more?) of working with all manner of growing styles, media, etc., (and, thanks to Shed for evolving my way of thinking in the beginning days) I am pretty good at diagnosing and giving advice on making sure it works for you.
