Nick Hardy & Co Graduation: Coco Co2 High EC: Grown in Thailand: Perpetual

From what I recall, water roots are different from soil roots, so moving them back into pots might take some time for them to adjust back and forth, which might not get you a net time gain in the end.
Yep totally from reading the SIP thread the dreaded “stall” the SIP guys and girls get. Wonder of I might mitigate that with some heavy @Bill284 style layering when they go into coco?

Or the other coloured solos arrived today… maybe just up pot tonight.

A light has failed today. Not sure why. Emergency sparky on their way.

Have a meeting with a light company today or tomorrow though…

Plus an order for 24 lights for them.

Light failure or electrical issue?
You have the place loaded with smoke detectors right?
Couple big fire extinguishers ready to go?
Don't mess around Amigo.
Make sure everything is safe. :thumb:
We finally got you here, don't want anything bad to happen. ;)

It was as I thought a connection issue when someone knocked the lights this morning. Bizarre as it sounds ot probably went like this - open the main door see a plant has put on huge growth overnight and is heading towards your face, involuntarily put up hand because its taller than you and knock light with hand.

Loose connection because the builders moved it once not the sparky. They “fixed” but seems not properly. I walked out the door with a Co2 cylinder and & Co to find the Bossman building contractor who looks like no word of a lie thr Thai Cowboy Tom Selleck - his moustache is something to behold, silver mirrored aviator sunglasses and hat and leather boots. I’m like WTF?! Its too early for this guy!

Anyway his guys run over heft the Co2 onto thr back the truck and he goes upstairs with & Co. Got his sparky over and fixed it properly ehich was awesome because mine couldn’t come until 10pm. She has a picture of him. He is quite a striking man 😆

But he fixed my light super quick! Literally opened the garage door and there’s a cowboy waiting to fix my light. For free. Even for my life that’s above average bizarre.

Cowboys drive pickup trucks!

& Co put it slightly differently when I called from the steel shop to see if he’d fixed it…

“Yes honey Thai Cowboy come fix your lights properly this time after our builders not fix correct” then started giggling 🤣

I said, “Did you get a picture?”
(Still laughing)
“No but I will tomorrow. He’s very good Thai Cowboy”

Thai Cowboy style is a thing here. You should see the pictures on Big Rig mudflaps? The things behind the tyres to stop spray.

They have stuff like David Beckham the footballer wearing a cowboy hat and stuff printed on them. Its really quite funny.

I’m in trouble for posting off topic stuff. I need to ask the correct way if any to post a picture like that (the Thai Cowboy) but it related to my grow very much so. Dude fixed my light!

😆

Poor Teddy :rolleyes: we must drive him nuts with all the off topic pics.
I half expect him to show up here one day and paddle my arse.
I must drive him crazy.
Can you get him to hold a plant in the pic.;)
So it's not off topic.
Tell me they don't all go line dancing and drink bud light? :rofl:
Are horses popular with these cowboy's?
Or is it strictly a fashion thing to stand out from the crowd?

@Teddy Edwards Is a really nice person. This isn’t me blowing smoke. Like legit. Its tough work he does and honestly I accidentally read through at least 40-45% of the rules (you can skip lots because they’re mostly just “don’t be rude to people”

It’s easier now. The legit nice person Teddy told me off, but gave a nice PS.

I realised Off Topic is for Off Topic.

I know some background of what the mods do through my day job so totally appreciate the effort. I feel qualified to say he’s legit good because there is a huge amount of cross over between what he does day to day to what I do.

Oh yeah plants. This is my graduation.

& Co’s eyes glazed over when I offered my @Mars Hydro Hydroline12 experiment up to her. Like when she’s slashing plants in full Demon Barberess mode. Haha oh yeah def getting her T Shirt made with something that on 😆

Anyway a similar gleam in her eye as she said “in the machine, in the machine
Like a chant.

Think Indy Temple of Doom the dark one with the eating if monkey brains.

She said she wants that who am I to argue?

I’ll make her a T-Shirt.

I haven’t yet told her that two more of the plausibles have popped up so I think we might be 100% on the plausible and spares 9/9 giving us a - wait need to ask the kid what the % is, I can’t figure it. Not perfect. But better than a randomly picked 87.5% looking like a decent pass. I like the 2nd way better. We still weren’t 100%. But upped our game

All that means - we have too many plants coming, going high risk hydro because but we’ll wait until morning to do that because between the chat about repot the tiny babies to solos or hydro them convo - I walked upstairs and The final two to pop have popped but need a little bit before they go anywhere.

Tomorrow thing.

Like really I should have kept the faith 😅

Too many plants coming my way.

Nick & (Doesn’t yet know theres’s twins on the way & Co)
 
Yeah I need to double check. But pretty sure we’re 8/9 on the catch up. There’s one of nutty Island’s not shown. Probably bashing its head against the bottom of the tray given what I’ve seen then do 😅

The Strawberries are the last to show (100%) versus 87.5% first plant.

The mental Islanders? Second to show (66%) versus 62.5%

The Indy’s which I’m most excited about. First to show proper strong and stern no stretch. Purple and strong. (100%) 62.5% first time out.

I know exactly what the differences are and why the between Island and Strawberry. What each likes slightly differently. Brilliant. I figured something out the strains like different. Mad rewarding. But right now I could make a joke about that mad sativa “Islander” gonna blame that on crazy sativa goes crazy. And it does bit ai think I read its a bit inconsistent across the phenotype because its the well - the empress of sativas. I bought from OG breeder. Huge love. I feel like with the best care and will in the world I’ll lose a few of them and & Co can pick what she wants to grow from clone after but yeah they are nuts some of them.

I need to check but pretty sure no plausible’s survived. Spares therefore run at 88%

Originals less.

Prefer the second technique

My guesses are:

Strains like different moisture levels when in paper.

A little bit of a clean and boost of seeds in the same preparation of water you dose both the kitchen paper and seedling soil peat with Hydrogen peroxide treated water as a base and like some basic nutes at like a bare nuff minimum, a 5.8 ph.

That method returns improved EV on seed to plant delivery then 5.8 essentially distilled, little bit of stuff in it comes out the tap at 6.5 water

Dunno obsessed with Ph plays at the moment.i think 6 with the mild mix would tend to 100% go

I think too much.

 
What strawberries are you growing, or can't you say?
Not a CBD one. Dunno. I’m so excited about the strains. One especially. They’re a well known breeder rather than the best seedbank in the world like @Herbies Seeds

For small time grows like I paid / proper money.

Maybe $17 a pop for my favourites. I got mates rates too.

They are not for the faint hearted in terms of expenditure. I mean I’m spending 480w @Mars Hydro light kinda money at a 12 pack of seeds for a mid range strain from them. But clones, yeah, mothers etc 🤣

Like yeah. I hope the seeds are good. 😆

Also that’s mates rates 😂

So we first chat, and it was on the phone, lovely Dutch lady, then Whatsapp, I order 18. Its mental money. Like $350 - sure I get 6 free but its a huge commitment of money.

Her response was epic:

“You mean 18 hundred or 18 thousand?”

🤣

“No just 18 and I get rhe six promos’s, right? 😅

- Are you sure you are X’s friend?

Laughed her arse off. She wasn’t joking on the numbers. They’re normal for my mate. Lovely people, not sponsors and I don't think 420 people are really their market. 100’s and 1000’s!

😂

That’s crazy talk

But also I have like $400 of seeds stuck in Milton Keynes for more than 30 days. I spend too much time tracking parcels.

Its all about rhe

Post off topic stuff here and link it into your thread like this!
Seriously I am an idiot. I suddenly had an epiphany and asked Teddy would this work?

He went uh yeah that’s perfect.

Then I read the rules and realised I’d have got there quicker had I read them and felt dumb.

Its been quite a lot of fail by Nick today.

Co been top form. 😂

I agree wholeheartedly.
It's a difficult frustrating job he more than likely volunteered for.
Given that I have no knowledge of computers & algorithms combined with the fact I have ZERO impulse control I must drive him nuts.
I can't count the number of posts I've gone back and changed before he had to.
Between my pets and motorcycles alone he has a full time job. Yeiks. :rolleyes: :Namaste:
Thank you @Teddy Edwards
Your appreciated more than you know. :thanks:
Hope everything is going well my friend.

I think (and hope!) he just deletes my mistakes and doesn’t tell me about it now. Zero worry and try and be a good guest.

Speaking of which my ladies I’m hosting. Fun times.

So @ Co choose the @Mars Hydro shaped door for the catch up plants that we thought maybe we can play catch up on.

BTW flower room light fixed but that story is elsewhere.

So basically I supercharged the nutes. Like you know 700ppm at 5.8 hydro. But I added a bunch. C-M-A-B - To Filler - to bunch of @DYNOMYCO because and the EC. Well yeah what do you expect 😂

But the ones that we want to slow up maybe,

some cal mag and some filler ai think. Like really vanilla at 5.8 and like You’d think 500ppm and I dunno 0.7 EC.

See what happens. But then also thought lets go mad with the lights too. So concerned about potential “light shock” when the range changes (Experiencing this with a SIP that has issues with it in the other grow - was outdoors now under lights and hating it) I thought since I’m
Throwing them all this high EC at them go easy on the Pepsi Fuller…

So I ended up with this frankenstein type contraption.

🤣

So hear me out - they get that lush purple light they’ve grown up on at similar distance and a nee blend added from much higher and there for not only less strong but only 18/6. No 24 ahour setting and that suits me because they gonna join their sisters already on 18/6 so the second move they all be sipping margaritas at 1:30am waiting for those lights out so less potential stress then too.

The ones in solos? Yeah awesome. There’s one we’re maybe about but we tried just watering the trip trays and an hour or later dunno they drank it or it evaporated. I’d lean the former. They seem to have some serious roots already. I’m not claiming full coverage our teveb that the picture is average (I haven't taken it yet but I am taking picture of a really good one! 🤣) & Co well pleased.

We gave them a little more syringe round the inside the clear cup and a little more between them. & Co did it to be fair. Her engineering mind gets it totally now. Wick, swick air take care. But we have roots to the airholes on most after 3 days I am told from machine to solo

So Originals

Vanilla 5.8 since day dot
In Solos from machine (lite ver) 3 days in solos roots to edge

Prince Harry’s
Even had fert in their germ bags 😂
Had the same as their older sisters after that in the peat. Now I’ve gone huge on the EC and lights.

I mean I did say high blah blah. Seems as a good a test as any. Plus & Co when I told her I banged up the nutes just laughed and said “Yees I expected this!” 🤣

We lolled.

Anyway. See what happens. I like our spot(s) on this grow.

Even as Doremon and Rabbit fight with Elsa and a moody David Hockney in pastel blue/pink look on. I should AirBnB that room. Like house rules don’t touch the plants or the light settings its very calming 😂

Anyway some photos.

Fun day. Again.

Dan & Co


 
Yeah so far the Frankenlight is delivering. Few minutes til lights on for solos and the other grow. These look great. Something about the differing light frequencies makes it really hard to get a good picture but they look great on the eye. They’re a lovely green and just look robust. Think this way so far is better. See what happens when they do get to solos. Possibly by the end of today 😂

 
And the solos. They have some way to go to catch up (the hydros)

Lights literally just on so attributing their little wilty look to that.

I hate this bit. The next inch or so is horrible for me.

Lets hope its quick! 😅



 
Went and looked at the other grow and relaxed. Then looked at the hydro. Smiled. Been a good morning’s inspection.

Not sure what we really have on today. Hydro should be fine for the day. Even they shoot up might as well give them more than 24 hours in the machine. Solos aren’t going anywhere (but maybe trying to kill themselves).

Maybe have an easy day?
