The Gee Spot - You Finally Found It

Miss Sticky - Day 23 of Flower.

A bunch of random shots. Stretch is pretty much over.There is a 15" and 120PPFD spread between Larf Valley and the tips of the 8 mains.

 

[Gee64]

More Miss Sticky.

Miss Sticky clones - Day 20 in soil.

All trimmed up to give me some quick cuts. I want to reclone her with the aero cloner and get her out of the veg tent. That will give me 19 days of no Miss Sticky in the veg tent. Another week or so and the cuts will be ready.

These ones on non-aloe got topped and I will see if she will oblige me with a couple 2-headed clones.

You too!

Thanks Roy. That touch of frost last week brought out some highlights

@Azimuth here is what I have on dolo water so far.
45ppm at mixing Oct 13, 61ppm Oct 15th.

And because I know you like flowers. I have added a handfull of nastutium flowers to my worm farm every day, just like this one, for about 6 weeks now.

Interesting, and consistent with what I get. Will be interesting to see how high it goes. I cut it with more rain water when it gets too high.

But that leads to the question of why and what are the implications?

The why I think is because the water was saturated at a much lower concentration which explains why the concentrate is stable but adding excess water allows more to release. I think you said your concentrate was 2oz per 32oz.

It also might mean that, while the dolo liquifies in the water, not all of it is dissolved, which further suggests that some of what you water with is dissolved, but some survives in a different form, presumably left to the microbes to do their thing.

Best of both worlds, or one better than the other?

I guess if I'm giving shoutouts I should give a shout out to Azi too.

I'm not sure if you guys are aware, but all the issues and things Azi and I are working thru on his plants isn't to teach him how to grow, he can do that just fine. He is working diligently to be able to grow excellent weed in a SIP from only ingredients on his property.

High Brix weed, and in a SIP.

This is a big and long undertaking with a lot of moving parts, but when he gets it all working we are all going to see something pretty cool.

We are lucky to share this with him.

So Thanks Azi.

You're very kind, @Gee64 . Sometimes it feels more like a train wreck!

It certainly does.

It is.

I think so, or it just takes the water to dissolve some particles.

Best of both worlds, or one better than the other?

I think if you mix it at say 70ppm, and dump it into the soil immediately that the active solution would be 70ppm but the extra undissolved would store in the soil and leach every watering. I think. But that's a guess.

You're very kind, @Gee64 . Sometimes it feels more like a train wreck!

I think now that you have added commercial calcium just to see how the rest of the mix is working, you will break 12. Possibly by a fair bit.

Then you just need to start adding lots and lots of high calcium plants to the mix and configure your WCA to include magnesium and you are good.

And the easy go-to there is Epsom salts? And what would be the ideal ratio?

Life got busy... Hey Pal, I retired today so it's all about me. Set your life aside and serve me some plant porn damnit!!

I retired from my first job and the best parting gift a coworker got me was a huge jar of pickles! Odd and delicious I enjoyed them for months!

Mornin' Azi ️.Personally,I have never had any good experiences with epsom salts but many have. Is there any KNF/Jadam potions for Mg? If you can get a 3:1 Ca:Mg you are in the ball park.

She's stacking nicely man!!! Those are gonna be some hulk arms soon!!!

I hope you're right! She has really long hairs similar to RVDV. She could be another very redhair pheno.

Not that I know of. My Stinging nettle input has a good cal/mag ratio but I don't know of something that isolates the mag.

Can't wait to see how it ends up here in several weeks!!
**Sits back and hits the vape**
Mmmmm red haired bud..... Yeahbaby

Aaaaannnddd, LIFTOFF!

15 brix with a slightly fuzzy line, though could be better. But now we know it  is possible with my combination of things to get above the 12 brix ceiling. End of week 2 of flower, 4:15 am ( )

VPD = 2.9. ( )
84 Room temp
85 Leaf Temp
30% RH

Even though the leaves are praying quite well, this seems to be telling me to increase the canopy-to-light distance.

Thanks for your help @Gee64 ! I appreciate you!
