The Gee Spot - You Finally Found It

[Gee64]

Yep. Almost always tiny. She will get going soon enough.

Ok good to know. I'm ready for her. Thanks @Lerugged .

Not yet. When the SA girls get bigger I will cut some clones. I will definitely try it. Likely with the small side branches.

It'd probably work fine with coco as I'm starting to think the medium doesn't play a significant role, as long as it breathes well. I may give other things a test just to play around with it.

Who knows, maybe the best use of this process is to root directly in your starter cup medium, maybe diluted a bit, but can we remove the first transition altogether?

Maybe I'll try that next. That would be pretty cool as it would simplify things even more and maybe get the plants off to an even better start.

 

[Gee64]

I have tried rooting into pots, and it didn't work so well. Doing research afterwards, and it's likely the cuttings were pulling nutes in, so they didn't feel the need to root.

Aeroclones straight into a 10gal work really well though.

Good Morning Stone ️.

 

[StoneOtter]

Thanks Stone. They do look yummy, but the devil's in the driveway.

I gotta let them roll until the deficiency identifies itself so I can correct it properly.

It's not bad, but it's creeping in. It just hasn't shown it's cards yet.

I'm almost wondering if it's residual from when the light was way too high about 3-4 weeks ago, and I could see a mag def starting.

I dialed the PPFD back to 1000 and it went away, but it may have left some residue thats popping up now.

Gotta be patient and watch a bit longer. It should show up definitively pretty quick now.

For new soil, a new light, and a defective light for 11 days right before flip, they are doing surprisingly well.

Plus the extra calcium tossed in right at planting had me worried, but as far as calcium goes, this run is my best yet.

Next rebuild I think with the extra 25% calcium, I won't add extra oyster shells, I will replace them with extra dolomite instead. So my extra 25% will be a bit of gypsum and a bunch of dolomite.

That's cool! Back to the EarthBox planting directions of mixing a pound of dolomite in at planting time theme. I thought that was excess but now not so much.

Good Morning Stone ️.

Hey nice to see ya!

I'm not sure where the limit is for calcium, but I will stay with the higher levels that this mix has moving forward. I mixed the extra in right at planting and thought it would fail miserably, but the plants didn't even notice. 98 days and no crusty pots. .

A lazy-ass webcam shot. I'm still drinking Azi's coffee, then I'm going to drink mine, then maybe go check the girls.

That's when they say to do it. I thought it odd. Who knows limits I guess?

Good morning

@Azimuth, how often should I give my plant the banana tea? I was thinking once a week?

Good Morning Carmen️. Well Good Afternoon I guess for you.

I'm stoked for your new journal. Chocolate and Blueberries, what could be finer

Depends on maintenance vs correcting a deficiency I suppose. I give it very diluted with other inputs weekly. So, maybe full strength once and then back it down and see how the plants react. Too much and you'll burn your plants.

This stuff is supposed to be be readily plant available so it'll work differently than a raw ingredient that the microbes have to break down first.

Thank you Azi. I have to feed them now, so will dose them at the same time.

Azi, have you ever checked the ppm of your diluted potions?

 

[Azimuth]

I have not. Wouldn't know what to do with whatever number they gave me so figured, what's the point?

 

[Gee64]

I was just curious what it would be after diluting it for application.

What kind of ballpark should I be looking for?

 

[Gee64]

I don't like going over 40ppm for calcium solutions, but I have no idea tbh. A good tea is higher than my ppm meter goes. So I would try to stay under 50 if your just throwing a dart, but you have it working so I was curious what ppm it was. And what it might be on some of your foliars too.

 

[Gee64]

Next time I mix up some fish ferts I will ppm it so we at least have a place to compare to.

Part One.

I made up a couple cannagars today. They aren't finished yet, but they are pressed and wrapped and in a jar at 62%, waiting for the finishing polish.

Here's the Purple Rose press.

The bamboo skewer creates the draw hole.

The plunger fits over it.

Pull out the plunger, dump in some weed, and plunge it down as hard as you can press down.

Repeat until full.

 

[Gee64]

After packing the press gets 24 hours to settle before opening.

Here are the stogies.

The big one needs 2 long rolling papers, it's too fat for one to wrap around.

There is about half a gram of hash oil here collectively, between the two papers.

I turn a cast iron frying pan onto high on the element, and hold my hand on it.

When it gets as hot as I can stand, I pull it off the element, flip it over, and lay a silicone mat on it.

Then I lay the oiled papers out and the warmth makes them gooey again. Then start rolling.

Once it's wrapped I pull the skewer and the draw hole appears.

Then I put the tips on.

At a later date I will dip the open end into warm oil about a half inch up, and then dab it in kief.
