That was my concern.Aren’t you afraid of exposing them to pests outside + bringing them back in? CL

You know @Bill284, I did do that. It’s when I got lazy that I began to have stalls. The syringe is a great idea. I used to do it in soil (soil…lol) but hadn’t in coco. Good call thanks.Do you do the laser in the solo cups?
Water the outside rim like I show with a marinating needle?
You are 100% correct.
I find those 2 steps helps me get a root ball quickly preventing overwatering in a solo.
Just 2 cents.
Take care buddy.

Yes - one went outside for a day for a bit of recovery and before the watering system was installed we wheeled them out twice to a balcony for watering. Now we don’t need to do that. They’ll stay inside. No stress about bugs.Aren’t you afraid of exposing them to pests outside + bringing them back in? CL
Sprayed and visually checked for bugs. Seem ok now.
Funnily enough the outside ones have no issue. Same as a mate. He vegged in a tent that was outdoors on the porch. Got mites. Flipped to flower outdoors and they disappeared. Some other apex predator ate them all and left the plants alone.

Smoked a little of my own supply yesterday at about 6pm after my siesta. I’m such a lightweight. Three drags and I was blitzed. The doorbell goes. Assume its the builders come to do some snagging.
“Honey can you come downstairs and help the police with something please?”
WTF
Turns out some lady had money stolen out of her car where it was parked opposite the house while she inspected some houses being built (they’re shacks basically) and they wanted to see my CCTV. I’m mashed showing them on my phone because the CCTV device is in my main grow room to get to that they need to walk past the seedling and veg tents and the mini hydroponics machine. I mean its legal and I’m licensed but I’m a white foreigner so easy for a shake down - its all in my Licensing Managers name anyway but they could try and get me on not having a work permit or something. Don’t need the drama and I’m on a mega Bruce Banner Sativa buzz with - quarter kilo of weed and 20 plants in the house. It was emotional
My Chief of Detectives actually solved the crime for the cops. I pointed at my truck and said that’s mine. We friends, yeah? “Yes we friends”
The police station they’re from is next to the most notorious traffic shakedown spot in possibly the whole country. A Get Out Of Jail Free Card is worth anything up to $1000 I guess. All for being a good citizen.
Sad about the end of the story though. It was a kid lives in a shack on the next street. No electricity or running water. Looks 9 but is apparently 11 and old enough for Juvie. He only had $1 left of the $100 he stole. His Dad in jail for meth dealing the third time. Never been to school.
Eventually Chief of Detectives Division pointed out the obvious - the Mum who was berating her son and gonna let him go to jail had the balance.
We hope the lady had the money stolen gets made whole with interest and the mother goes to the temple to make merit and gives the cops some money for their time. There is another 5 year old kid who would also go into care the mother goes to jail.
They live nearly opposite my daughters kindergarten. Costs more in a month than they earn in a year. We help them out with food and they swim in our pool. Its horrific really. But hopefully its being sorted by some money and old fashioned policing (of the caring kind) rather than everyone gets state “care” which wherever you are in the world is no good.

Hi Nick,
I'm a newbie grower in Chiang Mai. I've completed 2 grows here. I'm growing outdoor (organic), and indoor (soil/synthetic nutes). I'd like to go full organic, but can't find the right kind of soil/medium. Any ideas? Cheers

Sorry dude organics really not my thing. Worm casings from HP the sum total of my knowledge!

Just had to raise the lights after a feed of high level nutes about 4 hours ago. Raising them is easier than lowering them though. Good problem but still.
Then I maxed the lights the first time with this crop
I’m excited. What ever it does it will be a problem to solve

@Bill284 They sell them at the checkout there at HP now so many people growing stuff.
But not my style.

2 and a half hours to lights out on day one after flip.
They do look a little light to my eyes but on the camera they look way too light so go easy.
The GG def the bigger plants. OG smaller mintier looking and the Skunk 11 just skinnier. Due to the volume of water in the pipes they get slightly different nutes, they’re furthest from the Co2 loads of stuff possible.
I’m gonna guess they’re just a naturally skinnier strain at this stage and not worry.
The rest all look (historical tip burn notwithstanding) great to me. Interested to see what is left in the morning

The thickness or narrowness of the leaves is likely more to do with the genetics and the respective ratio in the crosses of sativa (narrow leaves) to indica broader, fatter leaves.
Now, about that color.....

I’m ok with how they look is all I’mma sayin’
The photos are a bit misleading there are thick purple veins on the OG Kush and they come out middle green from photos while the lights are on.
Happy farmer - but just the growth today is crazy. Real big stretch. And the nutes have come back to me like the Californian burger chain they are excellent.

Below is a photo of the light coloured but mega stretching GG’s after lights out with a flash on my phone. The darker green is much more indicative of their real colour to the eyes.
Just had the biggest complement of my short growing career.
My Sales/Marketing Manager got a team bonding trip out to play pool and listen to cheesy music. She won it in the staff draw this month.
Smells people are smoking weed on the table next to us and has some sample bags. For the first time I think in her life she rolls a joint from just learning by watching me. Gives a sample.
One guy from a different group of people from California walks over asks for a toke. Comes over to me after. He’s a grower. Like industrial scale. Growing OG Kush 13 years ago or something.
“Oh I have 6 of them under lights now”
He was very very nice about the Bruce Banner.
I can impress a Cali commercial grower with my grow on smoothness of smoke and effects wowee. Best compliment I could possibly get. He asked for nothing for free just had a free handout smoke. Amaaaazing feeling. We’re doing stuff correct because Cali and Canadian growers are top from what I see.
The OG Kush and Skunk 11 much darker than the darkest GG so light coloured I’m being overly perfectionist. Probably.

After a couple of waters with my still slightly imperfect watering system I went to the low end of EC with the slighty different nutes I’m using. Immediately yellow tips back on about 6 plants. 1.7 in. Think I’ll flush later again and run lower at 1.4 from now on. Its just weird. Swear its the magic rocks I messed with at the beginning.
Separating out those 6 and feeding them different might be the best plan even though different strains they present the same.
Anyway Saturday is hackaday…
Getting ready to pop 21 more so having toyed with some different ideas I give you my $20 - 30 minute seedling station.
Think that pair of 9w LED grow lights will be just dandy for what I need pre solos.

Hope everything is going well.
I've lost track of so much trying to finish the VIVOHUT.
We are up and running now.
Hopefully I can get back to the journals and catch up.
Hope your having a great weekend.

I slept in didn't wake up to 5 am, didn't get much done besides uploading a 100 pics.
I have to label everything and string it together in the right order.
Today's already too busy to even take pics.
Maby tonight!
