I'm very lazy in some senses but not when it comes to Cannabis nutrition and feeding. I cook my own humic acid and kelp extracts from raw leonardite and kelp meal on the stove. Can't be any dirtier and more time consuming than that and something that's better done outdoors.

But the stuff is more concentrated and last me longer than the watered down stuff at the hydro store that almost cost as much as its weight in gold in active ingredients.

You'll find potassium sulfate in some aquarium stores and probably easy to source on Lazada or Shopee or any other site pretty cheap. I order 250g locally from the aquarium store for about ~3 USD.

Cheers!

I know you’re 100% right dude and I’m gonna figure out (say Lazada and I get hot and excited ) just this one of the over priced stuff for people short on time is the best imho.

We’re still so new at this and having been travelling for visa whilst busy at work again it was some relief to have it arrive and think “Yay!” I’m paying full fat for it as well. No affiliation or whatever.

Hmm - like 4 weeks and 5 days in the big flower room.

Think we’re OK. Baiscally I do nothing anymore. Kids mix and feed. & Co threatens they don’t and goes fishing.

BUT - harvest is like 4 weeks out - the solo grow she’s gotta trim first

Less fishing honey - got work to do!

This will go 6kg fo sho. Some catch up picture dumps most recent first.

Mimosa x Orange Punch by one of our sponsors Barneys Farm is proper epic. It grows insane easy and done at 8 weeks.

Half the room next time out (I pop tomorrow) is gonna be that.

That's a nice bed of flowers! Welcome back @NickHardy!

Beautiful Nick Mim x OP is missed over here I ran out

 

[NickHardy]

I love my little Inkbird Temp/Rh wifi sensors. But they’re like $25 each and I keep dropping them in water and then they’re toast. 4 of these were $20 total. Tiny and no hole to hang which is a bit annoying - but they have sticky so I’ll just mount them on something else.

As with all this stuff I like three sensors, two electronic and skin for backup so I’ll compare numbers with the other ones - but at 20% the price they’re worth a go

Is there anywhere at your place that you DON’T grow weed? Got plants in the bathrooms?

Breathtaking, Nick. What a garden. And that robot with the serving tray picture, shot from a different angle - PHOTM?

How far down the street can you smell your place they look awesome
I was looking at that robot thing in one of your other photos where there was only a section of it showing
Had me trying to figure it out for too long ,in the end I gave up

 

[NickHardy]

I offered & Co a much bigger daylight 3000k bulb we hsve a couple of and suggested she swap out the water for perlite on the kitchen counter. She seems to have some Thai Tiktok/Line
Messenger group on the go - honestly if I had the link I’d have watched it myself and immediately shared

That’s the topped (of) Giant SIP which is a Red Hot Cookies I reckon!

Pretty sure

Contests are all for fun. Not how I score. I score on trying to make sure the more deserving win. Me? Meh.

I may have screwed up my daughter’s rose drying experiment.

That’s a real real drama when she spots it

“Yeah L - a rose by any other na…”

- Papa now it die two times already, why you do like that?

 

[NickHardy]

Next up, & Co wants all from seed no clones.

Okey dokey! She loves the Purple Queen/Purple Kush we have so all I could get from a breeder I trust today was the Ayahuasca Purple - from one of the sponsors I legit believe in @Barney's Farm - about to try some very green Mimosa x Orange Punch Not a fan of RQS for antyhing other than that Purple Queen but what my Queen wants is a purple Indica that grows out heavy and bushy - its a plant style she loves - she's a non smoker, no cannabis consumption. She's just an Enthusiast like the title says!

Oh bugger! she just paid $40 on the door for me. Then the penny dropped! That's just the tax! How much what in the package cost....

Still she has $120 worth of Ayuhuasca Purple coming and I have my $600 Pulse Pro environmental monitor - everyone's a winner baby!

From Barney's website

was the recipient of a generous gift of Red River Delta seeds several years ago. Upon cultivation, the resulting Ayahuasca Purple plants were nothing short of a revelation, with their mesmerizing purple and ruby red hues. The beauty of these Ayahuasca Purple plants was further amplified by their robust and sturdy structure, boasting wide fan leaves and a short, heavyset frame.

To maximize the potential of these remarkable specimens, the team at Barney’s Farm decided to undertake a strategic cross-breeding program. By carefully selecting the best characteristics of the Red River Delta and pairing it with the already renowned Master Kush, the cultivators were able to create a hybrid strain that was nothing short of perfect.

The end result of this cross-breeding program is a strain that is not only aesthetically pleasing but also boasts remarkable growth characteristics. The colossal dense buds that adorn the wide fan leaves of this strain are a sight to behold, but they also come with a unique challenge. As the Ayahuasca Purple plants reach the final week of flowering, the weight of the dense buds will require support to prevent breakage.

In addition to its striking visual appeal, this Ayahuasca Purple strain is also known for its rich and complex aroma, which is a tantalizing blend of hazelnut and papaya. The aroma alone is enough to transport the senses to a paradise-like state, but the effects of Ayahuasca Purple are what truly set it apart.

I may be doing most of winning today....

Oh the single Bruce Banner? Just for me! #winning

I actually bought the below for our Canuk Swansong. Or Canuk Ducksong?!

But testing it in the flower room. Its really good. Easy to use. It also cost me more than $600 to tell me what my eyes and skin already told me.

Ramped up the nutes and especially Dutch Pro Bloom Explode today.

Day #1 Week #5 - 100 litres a day, ride her til she bucks.

But as every metric the Pulse Pro so far gives - its unlikely they’ll buck. Beautiful tiny white tipping on a couple of leaves. Like 1x0.5mm tiny - that’s beautiful in of its self. 3-5 weeks to harvest. 1.4 VPD. Turned down the AC a bit to get the tenp up. The Co2 is off a small cylinder run ing slow as the steel company people are idiots and forgot to order the big ones (we actually own them) for us. Its a big week. For these girls.

Skin and eyes. Lights and fans and plants. All you really need. There are many ways to achieve this. Soil/indoor/outdoor/hydro same thing

Nick (ear still ringing from when he got slapped upside his head for dropping 600 bucks on a sensor to tell him want he already knew)

Its our birthday today.

One year ago at about this time of day, I collected two Bruce Banner clones. Our first two cannabis plants. No idea what we were doing. Not even a tent nor light had arrived at that point. They did a bit of indoors. Then a bit of outdoors. Then in a 4x8 we had to chop by 5cm to fit in the room, then we built the room within a room. All sorts. They ran to a touch over half a pound each. Great weed.

Now yeah! We only have around 40-45 growing now - we just harvested 15. But more of them on the way as Jay-Z sings in A Dream.

Canuk grow fingers crossed be popping within the week. Next phase here same time. That’s 50 seeds to pop this week

Nick & Co - some year!

To all of you we met along the way krup khun kup (kaa from & Co)

If you go down to the woods today…. You’ll be in the weeds!

It was getting in there for me - they’re all taller than me in the pots. Some taller than me from dirt to top. (180cm) the @Barney's Farm Mimosa x Orange Punch is the focus plant. Still got 3 weeks to go

Are these all under LED's
They are looking good
Is there a legal limit over there?

 

[NickHardy]

We’re licensed for 550 plants or something. I did ask she stop at 420

Yeah this is the main grow room 3x @Mars Hydro FC6500

They’re 730w Samsung LM301b and Osram for near and far reds. I bitch about them quite often but they score really highly on Dr MJ Coco and other places. 5x5 for home 4x4 for commercial. Gripes? The driver to light cable is not quite up to it. And the twist connector for the same is really below par. We had two burn out. We replaced the whole cable length in the end. Built for wall mount as we have. The pulley things are cheap AF had one explode and just miss hitting me in the eye. Broke skin on my face.

But yeah back ‘em in turn to max and add Co2 - we veg under FCE4800’s.

Really solid physical build. And they grow well for us. They are about $750USD each though but as they’re one of the sponsors there’s always a discount.

They also run cool as - give off barely any heat with the drivers removed. Plants grow through the bars with no burn I think they say they are the biggest selling LED light model of all time That means they’re selling to commercial growers as well. I’m not sure. I know the numbers Meijiu suggest they’ve done but they are more white label/b2b I can’t think of a grower here who wouldn’t love one. Well apart from me maybe but I’m a spoilt brat!

Flip Day #37 (5 weeks 2 Days)

I keep forgetting. Its not in my spreadsheet for some reason. They’re all 8-9 weekers so 56-62 days. That means 3-4 weeks as flip was 11/9/23

My maths is excellent today, nombres, eh?

What it really means is I gotta pop asap for the next grow. We’re gonna dry in this room for a week for various family logistics but we’ll also need yo do maintenance while its empty. So we have say just 5 weeks to pop and veg them.

Need 400L of coco and more nutes. Oh wait more coco than that.

Seeds nearly all to hand. Just the Auyuasca and that will be Thursday. A decent sized can of gas would be handy too. I think & Co has banned me from the steel shop we get the gas from

 

[NickHardy]

Some love for the Strawberry section. These go to about 9 weeks easy. So a good way out yet. 4 to go.
