The Gee Spot - You Finally Found It

[Gee64]

Thanks for all that info @Gee64
And yeah I can see why the worm farms are a good investment, buying it is gunna add up, cheapest one iv found was £15 for ten litres, that’s only gunna do a couple of weeks

I do like the idea of growing in LOS, and i think iv found one that will suit me at a good price, the royal mix is the one I was looking at, here’s the link if you wanna take a look, it’s all naturally fertilised, I think

I did check my soil temp just as lights came on, with the heat tube now in there, the soil was 71, iv turned it up just a tad and will check tomorrow at lights on, and me soil has all gone mouldy, dunno if that’s where I didn’t wash the top dressing right in, cos I didn’t wanna drench them 2 days on the trot, so I don’t know if it’s a bad thing iv done, I will put a pic up

And I managed to brix the other 2, their worse than the others, and I got pics thou I will put them up
And I think that’s about it, ole the pics, if you put the refractometer on a side somewhere, it’s a lot easier to do what g- one was saying with playing about with the camera, I will put up a pic of how I did it, hope that helps

Thank you for all your time and help Gee, it’s very much appreciated

That fuzzy mold is actually myco sprouting. If you add some mulch it will do better in the dark. It's a really good thing Kal.

Those brix lines could be fuzzier but the next calmag will help there, and possibly raise the numbers too.

One thing you should know about brix is that bad weather will drop your brix, and severe storms/low pressure can crash them 5 or 6 points. They will recover quickly when good weather rolls back in.

Also, the difference between lights on and 10 hours into lights on can be as much as 5 or 6 points, so 10 hours after lights on is really the only reading you should use as far as making changes goes.

All other readings aren't true indications, as is bad weather days. 10 hours after lights on with a sunny high pressure ridge is your truest reading.

Your not hijacking, this is a discussion room and a photo dump and anything else as long as it's not hard/rude on anyone. A safe space. No trolls allowed.

Yeah @con at some point Gee will say “grab a cup of coffee “ & you’ll realize there ain’t no hijackin’ the G man…

right, got it, I will brix 10 hours after lights go on in future

I have clay pebbles, can they be used as a mulch thing ?

Possibly, but really you want something thats carbon, like bark mulch that isn't cedar or walnut. Something that breaks down and adds soil carbon but doesn't block air or water and can be mixed into the soil if you have to till the top inch with your fingers to break up any crusting.

 

[Thirvnrob]

I’m gonna post this here if you don’t mind & hopefully I can remember how to put it in my signature…

Thirvnrob's multi strain seed drawer clean out.

I’m gonna clean out my seed stash before they get too old. The oldest I have are 4 years old & the youngest are just over a year. I’m gonna see if I can get them all to fruition between now & end of May. I have 3 seeds in soil & about 22 more after that. I have 4 pure Indica seeds, one pure...

Well done! Those are really clear.

Hey @Gee64 Durban poison is on my bucket list of strains to grow. Where did you get yours from? Have you tried a couple different breeders? Got any recommendations?

I tried a few way back in the day. I can't remember what breeders, but once I tried Cropking's DP I have only grown theirs ever since.

Miss Sticky - Day 5 of Flower.

I have to keep flexing her arms out wider to keep her from getting too tall. She hasn't even really started to stretch yet. The next week could be interesting lol.


Miss Sticky aeroclones - Day 2 in soil.

They are looking pretty good. Hopefully by tomorrow they will be lifting those arms a bit higher.

As soon as they start to take off I'm going to top them. 8 branches each. They have big solar panels. I hope this strain buds well.

I love clones that are bigger than the pots. Too bad you only get 1 set of clone branches per seed.

 

[Gee64]

Miss Sticky.

PPFD upped to 800 today.

 

[Gee64]

Drippers installed. 0630-0636 and 1630 - 1636. Lights on 0600, off at 1800. I'll follow the water stik to dial them in.

 

[Kaldean]

Cheers mate, took your advice and tilted and wiggled the phone about till I got a half decent pic

I just checked my list, thought I had Durban seeds, I haven’t
And I checked that cropkings, they only ship 60 seeds and over, about 58 to many for me
But yep, same as gee 1, definitely on my list to grow, along with purple haze, which I do have,
Now to find the poison ones
I love buying seeds

Your big lady’s starting to fill in already @Gee64
She’s gunna take some work keeping her under control
My first grow did this, had to buy a bigger tent didn’t i

 

[Gee64]

She definitely likes her space. I hope she fits

Oh boy, I tagged to copy a bunch of your comments Kal, and I fucked it up, so here we are. First off, are you a Londoner? I'm trying to identify your chat style

Miss Sticky aeroclones - Day 3 in soil.

They haven't taken off yet but they are growing.

If you zoom in you can see the slightly damaged leaves in the centers. I waited a day or two too long to pot them.

Damage on this one too. They should be fine tho.

Miss Sticky - Day 6 of Flower.

It looks like my best guess on an autowater schedule was a good guess.

Some cola shots.
