My Room - Perpetual LED Soil

[Doc Bud]

Docbud thank you.

I am interested in brix testing my ladies as a baseline but have not yet looked at what I need to do that. I am amazed that you are able to spray your plants in bud with no issues. I never foliar feed once budding has started, I don't even like rain! I know, I know. I would pull them rather than put anything on them once in bud. If I had foliar feed at the right time when the mold bloomed the entire room would be white You say a high brix lady can resist this... I must up on your work.

Thanks again

PS

I wrote all this in an editor and pasted. I added one smiley and hit enter and it f'ing wiped everything!! Glad I saved the text this time!!

You've got gorgeous plants. Superb!

They'll be even better with the minerals in the soil. The plants fight off disease and pests when the brix is up. The way to do that is to mineralize the soil, get some really good microbial action in the soil, and foliar feed the plants certain things.

No mold, no pests, better produce.

As healthy as you plants are, you could probably avoid the diseases by just adding rock powders to the soil.

Thanks Doc! bud

I appreciate your help. What would you use for rock powders given my water is ph 8 with high iron and I am using ph down? I have done a little reading so feel free to give me both barrels

Both barrels? Aye yi yi! This is gonna sting......

No, seriously, how much pH down is your water taking to bring it down? Like in ml's or drops per how many gallons.

The reason I ask is because that might be part of your problem too......maybe not, just depends on how things work out.

I would make a mix of 6 parts high calcium limestone. 90% or more pure Calcium Carbonate, 5 parts Soft Rock Phosphate and 3 parts gypsum. Mix this all together and add 1-2 cups per bag of soil when starting. For top dressing now, put about 1/4 to 1/2 cup per 5 gallons of soil.

This will stabilize your pH to pretty much spot on 6.4 and nothing will budge it for a while, so stop using the pH down. The phosphorus in the pH down could be causing some trouble too.

That hard water could be a blessing, depending on nitrate level.

Cool!! If I don't have to ph down I am all over that!! I have been using approx 1/2 teaspoon ph down powder per 5 gallons ... it is a huge pain in the back.

Thanks so much plus reps don't touch it!! but I gave em anyway

Just taking a peek here Buckshot. Flowers are looking pretty. Man I hate to hear mold. PM or bud rot. The pic's showed pm but at least they are young enough you can save them if they are a strain you really want. Take em out and power wash them with with some green cure. I know everyone talks all these homemades and ALOT of them work. I use a product called Eagle 20EW. It's a systemic meaning it stays in the plant for up to 28 days. I spray mine once when I start flowering. I, being new to the PNW have been dealing with alot of wet weather and PM runs amuck. But I know that 'green cure' works. Dunk your smaller plants in it and blast they others with a good spraying. I woodn't spray anything that been flowering more that 2 weeks. I tried PM Wash SNS products everything, even weak milk on a branch or two. I still invision sour milk/sour cream strains,,,,,,,,,GL with your battle dude. I hope you can keep your plants seperated, slows down the spread. And something I hate to do, pick alot of the infected leaves off. I hope you can catch it before it become a major problem. Rep's++ and Keepem Green

Well pm is in the air literally. I foliar fed and watched like a hawk. Here and there and only in the veg room it popped up on one or two leaves like it found a foothold on the wet leaves. It is under control for now. Thanks to Docbud and Norcaliwood I will be looking into new products and workflow... thank you. I will warn folks who give me advice, I am like a huge ship. when you make a turn it takes a long time to do it

As some of you know fungus gnats are part of my grow at this point. I am having a larger issue at the moment due to no nematodes and spring dampness. Well kind of spring, we will get a foot of snow tomorrow anyway I decided to get some carnivores to help me out. I got a drosera watari and a drosera binata. They are wicked cool and munching away I looked up a few youtube vids on them and the guy was talking about cloning them... double cool. Maybe I can make a profit from those f'ing gnats! if I can clone these plants I am going to. First for living yellow cards and second these were 8 bucks each, if I get these going I will trade for soil and nutes!!

Back to cannabis, I yanked the sgirl and the unknown they are as OMM would say "in the bag" I moved all kinds of stuff around and managed to over do it. The big girls look fine so for as you can see in the pics. Speaking of pics when a plant like ss x si gets like it is I keep a close eye and to do that I use my cam. I take flash pics so I can see what it up and blow them up and look close. Another note on cams. OMM said something about getting some gear to take pics like this... some of you folks may already have it in the form of a super zoom camera. Super Zoom cameras can do great macro work... I mean stunning. You have to think in a different way with it but it will do what you want... bigger sensor, better images. Granted some of them are just not up to it but most will.

Thanks for stopping in folks

Thanks OMM. I bet you can get a D5000 kit for dirt cheap... but this post sparked me to talk about Super Zooms above ^ They are wonderful for macros and getting the entire bud in focus that is actually harder to do with a DSLR

You know Buckshot I think of a new set up and then I think I wont be growing for while so why bother? I may do it out of boredom soon.

... any reason is a good excuse to get a new camera!! so I will give you one. You can convince Jo that you and her need a new camera for birding!! After all you won't be growing so you will need a hobby and you already bird watch sooooooooo

or how about if you want to take a picture of your old camera

just as good as any!!!

 

[fish cake]

but what if you took a picture of your old camera with the new one and then took a picture of the new camera with the old camera, could you still compare picture of the cameras and see which one is better?
or do you need another camera to take a picture of those camera pictures to see which one you think is best?

No but the third camera is needed as a base to compare the other two to.

hey! I am wide awake ... well kind of
