Here's a flowering update im getting excited with everything i see
They're looking great Lexort. Have you noticed any difference from dropping the ph levels a bit? To me they look a lot happier, but it's harder to tell in some ways now because they're not putting out new foliage. The buds look very happy though! 
Do you have any plants in veg and how are they doing?

Ya i got some in veg one is being a pain and I have a clone im not sure will live and a bunch of cuttings im waiting on to root lol busy busy. Im still trying to get my ph lower been hard to get under 6.0-6.2 but im working on it plus i have been learning all kinds of things that lead me to believe i may have been ph'ing wrong lol. I'll have to take some pictures from the veg box soon.
And, for something completely different....
In the title to your journal, what do the words "Kaneh" and "Bosm" describe?
I'd google it, but it's more fun to hear from the source...

Haha i forgot you weren't around when I went over that lol ah yes kaneh bosm where to start o o i know I'll just get a quote to explain it lol sorry I am stoned exhausted and if i must be honest a tad lazy lol. "One part of Sula Benet's writings which has attracted some modern attention is her claim that the herb known as kaneh-bosm or kneh-bosm mentioned in the Hebrew Bible may relate to religious use of cannabis. Kaneh-bosm is listed in the Book of Exodus as one of the ingredients of the holy anointing oil used in the tabernacle and later in the temple, and has historically and also by modern lexical and botanical scholars today been interpreted as calamus or related plants. By an argument based on comparative etymology Benet asserts that the word kaneh-bosm actually refers to the drug cannabis and was used in ancient Jewish religious rites, possibly as an intoxicant. Some pro-cannabis advocates have cited Benet's work as evidence that cannabis use has a long culturally important history, and that the criminalization and demonization of cannabis is a recent invention. According to Benet, cannabis appears in ancient Hebrew texts spelled with the Hebrew letters: “Kuph, Nun, Hé Bet, Shin, Mem,” translated into western alphabetic forms as ¹aneh-bosm, kaneh-bosm or kineboisin. The book of Exodus records the event of Moses receiving the instructions for making and distributing the hemp enriched holy oil, in the most auspicious tones.[2][3]
“
Then the Lord said to Moses, "Take the following fine spices: 500 shekels of liquid myrrh, half as much of fragrant cinnamon, 250 shekels of qaneh-bosm, 500 shekels of cassia--all according to the sanctuary shekel--and a hind of olive oil. Make these into a sacred anointing oil” (Exodus 30: 22-33).

And so if sula benet's research is to be believed Christian religion as well as Judaism are religions made up by ppl who got high as hell from the holy anointing oil and ended having visions and talking to angels and what have you cause they were super stoned out of their gourds lol
OH AWESOME! Who would have thought....
Sorry to make you type so much... but thanks tons!

Reps+++ I am intrigued by this. My father in law is a reverend and is diagnosed with lupus and chronic pain disorder. He used to smoke weed before he converted but now he gets high of off the pills they give him. I tried bringing up the topic of the legalization of medical marijuana and I was shot down. He prefers his pills. Although, I don't recall asking if he would smoke again. Sounded to me more like I would but I can't admit that because of the my previous lifestyle. The word "Kaneh-Bosm" sounds damn near as close as "Canna-bism" The belief of Cannabis consumption... buahahahaha!!!

Thanks, Tead, for asking that question! I had wondered every time I came to lexort's journal but never asked -- worried I'd appear ignorant, I guess 
And mad reps for you, lexort -- thank you so much for your answer!

Lex - just curious- why is it hard to get your ph lower? Do you have some ph-down? Most nutes are acidic so I find that ph+ is what I normally need after mixing up a batch of nutes. Once in a while I need to lower it with ph down, almost always because I accidently added too much ph+... I used vinegar for ages instead of ph down and it seemed to work fine

O my ph is only hard to lower when i raise it back up and over shoot then its hard to get back down lol human error lol. See when i mix up my nutes they end up around 5.2-5.4 so i raise it up and it climbs to anywhere from 6.2-6.8 so then i go slow in lowering it so i dont end up to low til i end up at 5.6-5.8 that is my struggle.

For anyone who is interested in learning more about kaneh bosm here's a video its long but good i posted it early on in my journal when i got asked the first time what it means lol. Never hesitate to ask questions here in my journal if i dont have the answers to your question i will find them and if i can't find them im sure someone here will have answers lol. Anyways here's the video Kaneh Bosm: The Hidden Story of Cannabis in the Old Testament - YouTube
Maybe try either watering down some of your ph up and down solution, and/or getting syringes to use for dispensing them. It can be a real pain trying to adjust small batches of nutes especially when your up/down solutions are concentrated. I water mine down.

Well im not sure how i would water down apple vinegar and baking soda lol i am pretty sure I wasn't leaving my ph pen in my nute water long enough to get a stable reading now i am letting it sit for a couple mins. I got that advice from tead or jojo i can't remember at this moment without going and looking lol. Sorry memory is shit nowadays.

Went and looked and the advice came from tead lol
If it's an issue- which it sounds like it's not anymore(?) -
The vinegar can obviously be watered down. Baking soda- hmmmm... I'm pretty sure you could mix it with RO water to make a ph+ solution and it would retain it's alkalinity. Careful with that stuff in quantity it's very salty. But then the stuff I use is salty too I suppose. For ph+ I use sodium hydroxide (aka lye), which is sold as ph+ for hot tubs. I mix it with water to make my ph+ solution.
In researching the subject I find that people have posted various comments about how it is 'bad' to use lye as ph+, none of them based on any actual evidence as far as I could see.
One argument is that it will introduce toxic salt levels, as it is sodium. (As is your sodium bicarbonate)
But to adjust the ph of a 1000 ppm solution I only need I use about 30 ppm of lye, at most. So I don't think that argument holds water.
I've used it for over five years and haven't noticed any difference between using it and using the grow store ph+
Vinegar has the reputation of not staying stable- that is, it's effect might wear off and ph will start to rise. I haven't tested that though I probably should. I like I said, I used it for many years.
I stumbled across a bottle of ph minus I didn't know I had and have been using that for the last year instead of vinegar.
Your ph pen should always have the probe stored wet or it will start to malfunction.
Hope this blathering is helpful....?

Ya its a problem in progress lol i think im close to remedying lol. Lye hmmm never would have thought to use that only uses i know for lye is making soap and lutefisk which i refuse to eat lutefisk just can't bring myself to do it lol. Plenty of churches in my area make it lol. Apple vinegar seems to be stable enough for me i only mix a gallon at a time and use it within four days tops so ya. I appreciate your input as always weasel im still trying to fix the droopy/yellowing problem i been having in veg for some time lol
