It's all good , I dont feel old or grizzled, like Statler and Waldorf those old Muppets in the Balcony.. I havent smoked pot since 1986 because the job wouldn't let me. So as soon as IL went legal both medical and recreational I decided to jump back in because i missed all the good times I had back then.. But what happened is that being away so long, when I returned I noticed I have become detached from the new scene,-generationally gapped from what is up and coming-trending,, I haven't been gapped out from the music because I've kept up with it. I think the best music produced so far has been between years 2003-2017 but that's just personal opinion.. The way I enjoyed smoking pot in the past was getting couch locked and throwing on a pair of headphones getting all zoned out and drooling from the corner of my mouth lol..super F**king wasted for 5 or 6 hours.. Nascar- auto racing NO!.. You are dealing with a devil in the details competition wood carver who specializes in North American game fish Trout, Salmon Bass mostly, and creates his own metal armatures so the fish carvings look freely posed not nailed down to a piece of drift wood as the base.. You get more points for carving open mouth, molding and painting your own fish eyes instead of purchasing them.. That's kept me busy when i was away from pot.. Now if I have to label myself I'm a creative type graphic artist soil hugging Hippie Jerry Garcia type.
If I'm checking myself which i often do to see if I'm being a D**k or just keepin it real, I have to realize that I'm probably being prejudiced and not open and accepting to someone else's joy-passion and not as open as I should be, and that's on me, My Bad.. I totally embrace your friendship,along with everyone else here in the group ..Yur totally welcome to follow me.. I'll be updating the journal sometime today after water change. My grow area is constantly evolving and probably going through a couple more changes as I settle into a growing system. PS, If I get on yur nerves, just tell me to Go F**K Off, but do it with a smile

The signature is not a link but tells people what i'm up to presently. Go to Journals in Progress, It's under Anthony Suszko: Tony's First Grow.
So here's a funny story.. while im writing this my 83 year old mother is outside screaming getting attacked by a swarm of bees receiving over 10 stings and dropped out passing out in the kitchen .. Good news is shes OK now EMT's releasing her.... That's how my day is going lol...
No to feminizing seeds, because the way I plan to stockpile is from harvesting my own seeds so that would be counter productive.. All this time I thought I had 3 females the male not showing his nut sac's until the 3rd day of darkness in 12/12.. I should have got the hint it was a male because he just stopped growing when reaching a certain height.. So I may be able to sog much earlier than expected now.. May need some help deturmening when the male is ready..

I like you Tony and after reading that bio I like you even more. In many ways you've just described me as well. I too feel out of touch with this generation sometimes but I think that's just life. Your art is absolutely amazing. Thanks for sharing that. You are certainly talented. I gotta say I am a bit envious of your state and the freedom it has given you. Many of us still have to hide in the shadows and that's just not right. My state has some of the most extreme penalties for mj in the country. Even if it goes legal nation wide I could see this state fighting to keep it illegal. Anyways, I could go on for days about that but what's the use...lol. I followed ya tony and I'm going to go check out your thread today. Maybe we can both learn something from each other. Have a good day.

Good to hear mom is okay. Pardon me for chuckling a little. It's funny but not funny. Them damn stings can kill a person quick if allergic. Paper hornets got me once and I had a reaction. Closed throat and hives all over. I'd been stung many times both here in the states and by venomous insects in central America with no problems. One paper hornets and the world damn near ended..lol.
I remember you saying you were trying to produce some seed. I did some of that last year and have a ton of f2 white widow beans. More than I'll ever need. Years ago I did a lot of breeding for fun and it was just that...fun. I'm going to check out your setup later. It's always fun to see others work.

It's funny because 10 stings can take out a full grown horse.. Old Polish lady still strong like bull..
This seemed to be a new strain I've never seen before, about half the size of a regular bee and seemed to be very vicious and maybe Africanized like a hybrid, did not resemble a common yellow jacket or honey bee variety.. was sleek and streamlined resembling a forest horsefly V shaped.

Yeh That's why I called the EMT's 911 right away especially with an 83 year old. Nothing to mess around with.. I was going to water plants around the side of the house with my Spent MC water change but now screw that, its going in the sump pump well and I'm staying indoors today..

Cool, if this works out maybe a few of us can trade seeds if you're interested in Afghan1Landrace....

No worries PK. Those tips will smoke just fine. When I got into dwc all I had to work with was drops to check the pH. No tds meter was used. If you can believe that. All I did was pH the water and slowly increase the nutes until I saw tip burn. Then backed off a little. Just changed res water weekly and all went well.
Simple low tech grow. I may just run a bubbler in my box when I get it built this fall. One way to keep down res temps is growing in the winter. Just need a fishtank heater n ur in there. Another good additive for the res is h2O2 hydrogen peroxide. HERE is a very good informative article. It is great for soil as well.

Noticed that my res water was on the warm side and its down in a very cool basement.. I'm totally an advocate for low tech, sometimes it just feels like a no brainer.. Is there anything to remedy that or is it just a thing ?
JimJonesJr

In this large box I used to have I ran into some higher res temps initially. I was in a cool basement too. I added a extra bubble wand. Cut a hole in the bottom so that the res sat right on the cold concrete. Then got 3" thick styrofoam from Lowe's and added it between the plant and the res. The 2 400w lamps were giving me the heat. I eventually added more ventilation at the end of that grow.
This setup worked great at keeping the temps down.

so it's basically a reaction i should just monitor .. I had just raised it up to 5GPG running a 6 gallon res.. but noticed it was doing the same thing at 2GPG.. I have the flexability to play around with 2 extra gallons, and could dilute the mixture that way adding just fresh water?

Your doing a rdwc right? I dunno much about that setup. If your in 5 gal buckets maybe you could wrap them with some insulation.

It's a low tech 8 gallon garbage can and only need to fill it up to 6 gallons to hit the pots.. I'm using a small pond pump with the venturi turned up to create surface turbulence air bubble stream across the pots and its also circulating the water evenly throughout the can, something that a standard air stone wouldnt be able to do.. I just hang it over the side
and adjust where i want the stream hitting.. I'm holding off on setting up a 3 can DWC unit with res and 800gph pump because i dont need all that pump power right now. and would be a waste of nutes.

here is a quick update on the clones.
Two out of three has started to grow new leaves. also, i was able to get the temps down with new configuration. fans and shades to the rescue. Currently temp at 27c what is that 80-81ferenhite and at 60% RH
it be awesome to MacGyver away so that i don't have to constantly fill up the humidifyer.

Your temp and RH sound just like mine, to mcgyver the humidifier theoretically if you tube the humidifiers tank to another equally sized "control bucket" then have the same float valve people use in the rdwc systems but hooked up to a water line off a tap or something

Thanks for updating pics of the clones PK... They look to be hanging in there. The tip burn is not ideal but look strong enough to overcome it... Keep an eye on them, they are not out of the woods yet. Another 4 or 5 days you'll have a better picture.
