Busy, busy, busy right now. I have the family visiting but that didn't stop me from planting a ton of seeds and taking a crap ton more clones. I should have a tent full ready to flip in 2 weeks. I needed to make some room for future seed purchases. Haha

Oh man,, family... i just keep garlic by the windows and they stay away..

I gotta git myself some... November is closing in. Im on the fence though. Im gonna make some CBD oil and unclear if i should go with Charlottes Web or Charlottes Angel. C Web is the old school, but is renowned for a small yield. Its actually hemp i guess. The other is by Royal Queen and will grow like a more domesticated cannabis product but it takes 12 weeks. F*ckin plants.

I'm gonna grow Purple Moby Dick for myself... Is that the most ridiculous statement ever written?! It checks some popular boxes with me. Its a big plant, a sweet profile, and its by Dinofem. Ive never grown anything from them, but I hear good things.

It's taking everything I have not to make a wise crack.

I have also heard good things about Dinafem and I have some Sweet Grapefruit, Amnesia Kush, and Moby Dick XXL (you might like them purple but I like them big :rofl: ), I just haven't got around to planting them yet.

Have you looked at the Dr. Seedsman CBD 30:1?

They're good as you don't get them wet or feed them after midnight.

I hear you. If it were my thread the smart ass remarks would be peppered with color pictures, but I cant just spray poor Smokeys place with colorful words and comprimising images.

Nice what a selection. Yeah, mine ain't double wide, but a big purple dick is still a big purple dick.

I have not seen that one. Seedsman has come along way. This all started with the wifey. $80 bucks for a tiny bottle of dubious CBD oil. So I started looking at Charlottes Web. Ive always been fascinated with its history, and thought growing the OG would be fun on a few levels.. but unless you can grow a grip of it, it may be a waste of time. Charllote Angel looked really good, reliable breeder and all that. But 12 weeks is almost a deal breaker for me. I havent bought anything yet, we'll see how it goes
 
If you can find some Candida (CD-1) from MMG, it's what I use for CBD. It comes in around 15% CBD and under 1% THC. I've had my oil tested twice and both were about the same. Very stable strain.

It can be hard to find which is why I'm trying to make some S1s.

Took a look at Seedsman for the info... Looks pretty good. Other than a few "bad seeds" the reviews look great.
 
Sorry guys been busy today.

If you can find a product that is derived from monosilicic acid you're best off. The products that come from Potassium Silicate aren't very bioavailable to plants when added to roots conventionally. Kinda crazy considering the vast majority use Potassium. Its too bad, because most of it is pretty cheap.

I guess the issue is actually the size of the molecule, its too big... sounds silly, I know. Tecnnically, the molecules arrive at the plant in long chains. Monosilicic acide is one at a time. But, there IS some hope for Potassium Silicate. If used as a foliar feed it works OK. Not as effective as monosilicate, but much better than if root fed.



ROSIE! thats her name.... i was looking through my thread for the our dog conversation but I think it was on Phantom's. I could not remember her name to save my ass... but i smoke pot

I got the water flowing today was pretty happy no leaks so I thought. I got a faulty tote leaking from the bottom. After dinner I'll go pull that tote off and have a look at it. See if I can find a leak and patch it with some silicone or some epoxy. That's my luck if there's one damaged on the shelf that's the one I will pick.

I sprayed flex seal on all my joints and still have yet to have a leak . About every third or fourth grow I’ll hit it again .

The roof was leaking in the HR office , had rusted then cracked after being walked on I sprayed it on it for the hell of it and it stoped it till the roofers replaced the metal 4 months later amazed me .

Sounds like me 4 out of 5 of my totes had box cutter cuts. I tried to epoxy but the type of plastic is no good, ended up using GE All Purpose Silicone 1 to patch the cuts. I used to use the same stuff for my aquarium, safe for aquatic plants and fish.

Just drained it knife hole in bottom looks like a stab not a slice it's tuff plastic. It definitely not a manufacturer's defect. I was going to put some silicone on it but for $10 I think I will buy a new one tomorrow. Just to avoid any problems latter.

Its probably made from Polyethylene. Not an easy plastic to glue, kinda like polypropylene. There are some products that will do it, but they arent usually "safe". Silicone may block the hole, but its probably not gonna last. Im with you, I'd just trade it in for one without the holes
 
Yup all my totes are getting tossed except the one good one, the reservoir. When I fire the hydro setup this winter I'll buy new ones and water test them all before cutting holes for my bulkheads. That was my first mistake, not water testing them before starting, I could at least have returned them for good ones. My cuts were all in the same corner with the 5th one only having a scratch and not a cut through the tote, definitely some box cutter happy stock boy.
