RQS Critical x2: Photos In Veg 90 Days, Just Flipped

[Bill284]

Mantis girls
Unfortunately I’ve ran out of the Mantis nutrients.. they’re a little expensive to get over here so I’m afraid the race is over for these nutes. The 7gal pots, the very big girls along with the heat hasn’t helped out..They’ve been thirsty girls sipping 10ltr each.. every other day..The Mantis dose is at 5ml/ ltr..I only bought 1 ltr bottle at £85.. the whole bottle is only 10 feeds at that rate. Brilliant stuff and I’ve loved using it, Girls have grown reall well and have looked like they’ve been on thier sweet spot all the time. I think next time it’d work out better growing the girls in some smaller pots perhaps?

DO-SI-Do’s ..I can only see her getting even more thirsty in the coming weeks..
SHE’S A MONSTER

power is nothing without control ..
I’ve got all the power i need here, good light, good medium, good nuts and good genetics.. just lacked the control
Onwards an upwards peeps
Peace an buds to ya

85 pounds for one liter. Thats bad bad bad. Wow.
Bud can't you get anything from one of our sponsors?
Thats $145 Canadian. You can buy a complete line from a sponsor and still have enough left to buy a new bong.
There must be something better priced than that stuff.

Looks like you have a Jumangi situation there.
Watch out for the elephants.
You have a beast going .
She is going to take over the whole place.
Wow.
Bill

Awww man, your on to me.. I was thinking of putting a couple of dinosaurs in.
That’s only one of 3 so gonna get a bit tight in there, hopefully anyway..
She looks like she’d be happy outside.

Yeah man.. just wanted to give it a try think it’s $99 for y’all over there, had to cough up for tax I’d imagine is what jumped the price up even more.
Gotta be honest, it is rather good , and does appeal to the lazy me.. however, can’t afford to do it.
The canna seems expensive when you buy it all..but it does go a long way, as does the Dutch pro.
Give it a try , live an learn ey?

Ooooo, look at me.

first things first

Mornin to y’all hope it’s a good’n
Hey @Sticky fingaz I’ve been having a little read about co2 and the affects on ph.. gotta say , your babes lookin lush, so it looks like it’s working well..
Sooo.. I went an got some from Morrison’s , highland spring was all that was left and it’s got a ph of 5.. I tried ph up but hardly moved until the co2 had off gassed.
Soooo. .. prompted me to have a peek on tinted web and I found an interesting piece on it. Henry’s law ..What I’ve read is that co2 in water wants to equalise with the atmosphere around it and will off gas until equilibrium is reached, raising the ph as it goes..
More co2 = +acidity, less co2 = +base
What I was thinking.. was that if I pour the carbonated water straight in with a low ph. as it off gasses the ph should rise naturally.
That’s what I gleaned from what I read anyway..
A question for yourself sir, if I may? if your water is going in at ph 6.2, could the rise as it off gasses affect your grow? or do you think it will stay within the parramatta for soil grows? .
I’m in coir , so ph needs to be lower for me at 5.8 or there abouts.. simple test I suppose would be to test the ph of the water once all the gas is gone. which is what I’ll do next duh
Peace to ya

 

[Sticky fingaz]

Hey mate
Indeed… I’ve been checking every day for ages, just when I think we’re off, it’s just another leaf starting.. the executive decision today is…they’re for the 12/12 flip.. I was thinking crazy genetics and big pots, I think I’m leaning towards the idea that they could be photos..
Don’t know what else to do with em?
Cheers for the time matey.. as ever appreciated

Ooooo, look at me.

Good morning sir.
Loving the new neon's I'll be popping over to Bud's garden if that's what's on offer
This is great! Love new info.....
To be honest buddy, not read into that yet but I certainly will.
In reply, the PH rising is something I haven't read about yet. My thoughts, if we let the water ' gas off ' are we not defeating the object of feeding the plant co2 in the first place?
When I water, I place 4 ml of cal mag per 2 litres. After a bit of research, I found that when mixing Magnesium with co2 it produces MGO (magnesium oxide), this is classed as a ruminant nutrient.(more reading into this is required)
When the waters poured directly after mixing in the Cal Mag, it leaves lots of bubbles on the surface of the soil. These bubbles I'm assuming will be full of CO2 & or MGO. When these bubbles pop, they must be releasing the gas/s directly under the plant, which is a bonus. What CO2 is retained in the water for the roots I'm not sure. The real result will come when the plant is harvested & I can cut the soil in half to see what's been going on with the roots.
This is all experimental & I'm putting my garden on the line in the name of science & cannabis cultivation of science
One thing I've realised, is we can read & read & read all we want about value's, amounts etc etc.
But trusting the plant is probably the place to start. Every time I've watered those girl's, I've returned a while later to this....

I've also gone against all the recommendations for the lights & I've got them at 100% & 12" above canopy. They love it.
Any other height or power & the leaves don't pray!
The only real test I can do on the PH is to water until I get a run off & test the excess. I'm interested now to see what's going on.
But awesome, I shall read into this HENRY'S LAW later on...be sure to get back to me about your results

Sorry, forgot I had these two pics uploaded as well
So here's my other test.
I now have my original tent set up elsewhere. These 2 are the Auto's I started for my mate in my grow room at home. These two are the same age as mine (obvs). They are under my viparspectra Tc 600 & clearly, they are no where near as advanced as my other's. My Mimosa cake is starting to produce her 5th node already at 12 days old.
It's not a fair test because of the lights but I'm certainly getting accelerated growth with what I'm doing at home!
(compared to these)

Hey man, hope your good.
Thought I’d have a little go at your experiment myself, see what happened..I wouldn’t want to miss out on more bud…
Anyway. It just surprised me the low ph and prompted me to have a look see.
And that was what I found. Was all. Lovely healthy lookin babe you got, so something’s gotta be working.
I agree totally.. if they’re happy they’re happy.. I’m still going to give it a go, in the name of science ey
Peace an buds mate

 

[Bud Love]

Hey @Sticky fingaz
I think ?? That it just means a reduction in carbon.. this is what I found on my level
GCSE

Think the term ruminant in chemistry is a process of degradation? Not sure wether I interpreted it right though.

hope it helps
Peace to ya mate

Ha, this is getting deeeeeep, balls deep!

Right, I'm going to throw a proper curve ball in now.
So MG is magnesium in its raw state, magnesium powder or carbonate is MgO3.
Taking that into account & the fact we haven't included the H2O substance of it yet...
The equation would look more like

MgCO3 + H2O + CO2 → Mg(HCO3)2

So what we have is
magnesium carbonate + water + carbon dioxide = magnesium hydrocarbonate.

I'll be back............

Struck out on the curve ball, however.. there is some truth to the Ph rise.
The first 20 min.. went like this..

after an hour or so an a good shake it was up to 5.7

wadayaknow?
See what it’s like in the morning.
Peace to y’all

ive flipped to 12/12 lights. See what happens over the next week or so.
Mostly healthy looking.

Peace an buds peeps

 

[Bud Love]

Hey peeps
Hope y’all doin fab
Just a little contribution to medicinal science
Well…
The Ph of the highland spring sparkling mineral water started at 4.8 wtf.. Is that even healthy?
I poured some in a cup, tested 3 times over 20 min, after giving the cup a little shake each time to accelerate the co2 release.
By an hour the Ph was up to 5.7.
I left the cup overnight, checked 30 min ago.
Now we’re at ph 6.6 . I’ll leave the cup another day or so and have another check then
Up to now it’s a 1.8 rise..

That’s a bit on the high side for coir, so maybe a bit of ph’d natural water to follow it through afterwards? Not sure how that’ll work though either, it all depend at what point all the co2 is released from the water and at what Ph we end up at..
@Sticky fingaz, hope that is useful for ya matey.. if the Tesco brand anything similar you could be looking at a final ph of 8 +..
Not sure how it all works in the soil. Could be worth keeping an eye on it though.
Peace an buds to ya

Day 13
SYLSTAR GL4000 / WEEDSEEDEXPRESS tent
Chiquita Banana fem.
Yesterday all were fed canna start @ 4ml/ltr
Had to Ph down after mixing with tap water, together the Ph was 6.4 , I brought it down to 5.8.
Don’t know about y’all , but when I’m using Ph up or down, I’ll mix with water first to dilute, then I add it using a dropper..
Anyways.. She ain’t looking so happy this morning.

hopefully just a bit of overwatering?

Pinkman Goo WeedSeedExpress

This young’n hasn’t looked happy from the get go.. no clue as ever. Although I still can’t see any root development at the side of the cup..so maybe there’s a problem there..??

Temps have dropped in there to 27c been constantly in the 30c’s. Could be that causing a few probs?

Chiquita Banana ( back up ) weedSeedExpress

going the same way, not quite as sorry lookin(yet) as the other 2.

Roots are coming on though..

If it doesn’t pick up by end of play today Ill have a rethink. Ican only assume that the watering was the culprit yesterday as all 3 have been hit the same time.. hopefully we’ll see an improvement as they dry.
As ever peeps , thanks for all the input and shared wisdom , muchly appreciated
Peace an buds to y’all

 

[Bud Love]

Okaaay..mmm
It’s been 2 days since the flip in the big girl tent.. and wadayaknow. There’s movement afoot on my Do’s auto girls. I’m going to be bold and say 5”of stretch..
Could it be that these girls are fems? Or would autos act in the same manner? I don’t know as I’ve never flipped an auto.. I’m leaning towards the autos are fems though..
pic today

2 days ago

mmmm..
On one hand it cocks up my timing for the next 3 autos I had planned. However, as I’ve got 3 fems going in the Sylstar/WeedSeedExpress tent, it could work out ok, there’s only one going to fit in the tent come flowering, ( if all goes well) so at least they can go straight in to 12/12 when needed.
I do hope I like Do-Si-Do’s. As I’m going to have a fair bit by the end of play.
Any thoughts or wisdom always welcome and appreciated.
Peace to y’all

 

[Bud Love]

Couple more pics.. an that’s it today peeps.

She’s a biggy
