Tead's Indoor-ish, Winter, Hempy, OGK, SOG

Man I totally forgot until I got to the garden, but the UD stem is an absolute tree trunk! Is this the case in your garden or no?
That trait comes from smart inbreeding in HB soil outdoor.
 
Our daughter has magnetic words covering her front door. She enjoys stopping before she goes out to play with wordings, capturing the moment in poetry and joy. Her expressions have less terror of the world beyond her safe space since she started using cannabis as a daily medication. It's delightfully reassuring as her mother to see the change from fear to excitement as she ventures out into the world now. :love:

She should put another set on the outside for visitors and random weirdos to use.
Hmmmmm.....
I should put a set on the outside!

Loved the homage to the spleen. :rofl:

A truly unappreciated organ. Give your spleen some love baby!

I had the pin-up Jesus on a magnetic board in my office forever. Everyone changed his garb every time they walked in to chat with me. I forgot about him.... he's probably in a box somewhere.... perhaps I'll dig.
 
So.... Tead's cupboard runneth a bit thin in the Indica department. I clipped a UD1Boom to feed the need some. It's a bit early and she was too lightly fed, but her little buds are just rock hard. She had about 10% amber, 30% cloudy, 60% clear.

The symmetry of the branches is striking and makes them easy to ID in my garden.



Also moved a UD1Boom clone into a 12" PVC tube with 15g Osmocote+

A look at the Bloom room....

And last, but not least, a little peek a the BirkenCloner hiding down low. Fun. I find myself searching for funny things to clone in.

So... today is a watering day, and I had a left over jug of PH'd and CalMag'd water hanging around from the last watering. I wasn't sure if the jug was plain water or had already been dosed. I stuck a PH pen into the mix. The pen settled at 4.6. I retested different samples to verify it all. I then grabbed a jug of non-adjusted water from my supply bucket and tested it's PH. 7.6 was the reading after settling. The 7.6 reading is totally expected, but the 4.6 is low and surprising.

hmmmmmmm....


What does this mean?
When one considers that Tead has been skipping his PH testing when adjusting lately, perhaps he's gotten a touch sloppy. I really have no sure reference where the 4.3 sample started, so I can't really form any scientific opinion.

I guess I'll be testing from now on.
I've got a plain water test going.... feeding non-adjusted water. If that plant comes off good, I'll be moving to that anyway. Perhaps bloom will call for PH and CalMag, but she's looking real good in veg so far.
 
The Effects of Temperature on the pH of Water | Sciencing

Considering that your water is buffered with something to it's natural ph, and then you add your calmag which buffers to another ph, and depending on the amount you add in all accounts to what the ph settles to. That however can change depending on the temp of the solution. If for instance your res (large body of water) is a cooler temp than your gallon (smaller body of water) and presumably the gallon will warm much quicker than a reservoir or faucet, the two will probably disagree. Perhaps tracking down a Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS) for the calmag you're using and see what buffers are in it and what their ph is. This might give you a better idea of what direction the mix will want to go to, and of course will have more influence on the solution if the dose is increased.

Interesting. When I let my jugs of water that was pH adjusted and had CaliMagic added the pH usually rises after sitting for two days. The beauty of the Grow Better nutes is that there's no pH adjusting needed. That plant is looking stellar in my garden so far. So are the osmo girls I pH for. It's gonna come down to quality in my garden. If Osmo can mirror Grow Better results then the obvious choice is Osmo.

I still check the pH with Grow Better, but no action is needed unless it's too low. It'd be nice to do that for the whole garden.

Interesting as well that you get that range of trichome conversion. Mine typically go almost entirely cloudy before I have any amber show up. Must be the lights and your heat. Could humidity factor into this equation?
 
Some photos of interest in Tead's world this morning....

This is my plain water UD1Boom test plant. I got a touch feisty this morning and decided to make her an outside hempy. I moved her from the veg tent to the outside bucket. We'll see what happens. No bug protections yet... I'll get some Neem and BT on her soon.

2 different clone containers going. Phasing out the 2L cloner in preference of the bag clones.

Things don't always go well in Tead's world. This is a Northern Lights fem'd seedie. She did well until I transplanted her. One might think it's a burn related to the new medium, but new growth looks great so I'm gonna call it transplant shock.

Totally saving the best for last here..... a little secret Tead's been sitting on.
I had 2 seeds fall out of an OGK after I had the hermied UD. These represent the ONLY seeds I've ever got from one of my OGKs.
DSCN51881.JPG

Tead's a pretty happy boy this morning. Doing the OGK seedie dance hard!
 
I'll share that dance Tead. :slide: :love: :slide:
 
You guys are killin me. I mean.... saying intelligent things, pointing at facts, asking questions.
What the hell? You know I just wanna smoke and dance dammit!

Somewhere deep in a thread somewhere.... perhaps not even one by Tead, there are deep discussions and measurements regarding PH and temps. Overall, the numbers regarding heat and PH are insignificant in a grower's world.
Plus, I'm pretty sure I just screwed up the PHing I did without measuring. Such a bad idea. I'd say "lesson learned", but historically I may not be able to hold that ground.
Oh.... MDS for the CalMag I'm using... fun.... I ran out of my normal calmag a while back and I've been doing the milk and epsom salt dance for a week or two. So damn lazy... gotta order calmag.

Your experience with PH is my expectation and what I would consider the norm. I'm pretty sure I just screwed the pooch on that round.

I dunno why I see such a range. It could be humidity or higher temps. I kinda just call it normal. I'll be getting my Amz order going sometime soon.... a replacement USB microscope will be included in that order.... so friggin lazy. I'll try to remember to share some examples.
 
You are setting up UD1 to grow like a monsta!

Do you know if she is a she?

Seeds are much rarer in my world than clones. Generally I apply the moniker 'seedie' when I reference one.
So... clone of the first UD seed I popped designated by the '1'. She has a somewhat less formal moniker as well.... applied by someone familiar with the various phenos.... 'Boom'.

I'm not sure what's gonna become of her. The light just tipped, but is still way long, but she was under 24/7 sooooo... hmmm.
Perhaps she'll slide into bloom and be able to stay there. Perhaps she'll slide into bloom, back into veg, then back into bloom. Perhaps the bugs will feast upon her. Perhaps the rain will mold her out.
Yup... feisty and wild... ya just never know.
 
Gotta vent for a minute.
How do folks delude themselves so easily? I just don't get it. Plus, then they expect me to buy into their own personal but obviously insane and childish lies they've been busy convincing themselves of? Oh no.... Tead will have no part of this insanity.

A tenant... always very slow pay regularly requiring a 5-day notice to actually pay. Many other problems... including bringing 2 feral dogs into the property, completely uncommunicative. Finally, he crosses the line into eviction territory. Tonight, he asks me about the return of his security deposit (1mo). I remind him that he's not paid rent and is currently chewing thru his security.

What fucking world do people live on?!?!
I simply don't understand how someone deludes themselves to such an extent. What kind of human being can I offer my fellow humans when I can't even begin to be honest with myself?

What's that old poem.... Hell is other people.... ringin in my ear tonight.
 
He was probably a fiend at the end of his rope. When they get desperate, it's blatantly evident.
 
:hug::hug::hug::hug::hug:
 
Hell is other people

Hehe.... I totally tortured another human the today. I offer my actions as further proof.

Tead can be feisty... especially when he sees things differently at a basic level. I've been known to stand by my gun post as the ship sinks around me in defense of my more basic beliefs.

On my travels today I was relaxing a bit in a group of strangers. Apparently we have a religious group in town. For whatever reason, one poor kid (upper 20's) decided to spread his faith around a bit and made the mistake of asking me if I believed in Hell. WTF man... bad idea.... in public with a stranger... poor strategy my friend. I spent the next few minutes presenting a decently strong argument suggesting that the current world around him was indeed Hell and that he's actually being punished. It included shooting down his objections with ease and finesse.
Poor guy.
Left him with a mighty furrowed brow as I hopped on my ride and slid into the distance.
When one invites discussion by spreading ideas, one should not be shocked when others have different ideas. Perhaps he learned a little.

Hahaha! I wish to God I'd been there to watch. Good for you. Lol! Silly child. :battingeyelashes:

In some parts of the country, probably in most. If the lease agreement does not specifically state the security deposit can be used as a rent deposit, then it cannot be retained by the landlord for any other purpose.

Depending on your lease, he has an actionable legal case.

Last time a pair of religious types appeared on my doorstep, I was short and gentle. "If you talk about god with me, you probably won't like what I have to say."
"Here take this pamphlet to read."
"No thanks. I have read the bible cover to cover. Twice."
As she left, "I'm sorry."

???

Her answer to "I have read your holy book" is "I'm sorry"

Freudian slip to my way of thinking :)
