420 member rifleman was in denver, i think denver,, a legal state anyway,, and he, i assume he be a he,, he bought some mj at a dispensary,, his first ever,,

anyhoo,, he posted a pic on his journal,, of the ingredients,, i guess they must have to list ev3erything that might have come in contact with the plant,,

well,, oh my gosh by golly,, quite something indeed,,

i had no idea that the big boys would resort to such tactics,, and i guess it makes sense if one thinks about it,, guess i never thot about it before

did you have any idea these kinds of chemicals were being used on commercial legal marijuana grows??

cheers friend,,

oh,, thanks rifleman,, aka, lucas,, aka,, pa
 
DAYUM, that's a lot of shit to put on/in the plants! Yeah, I have my small list of chems and miticides, but the ingredients are from natural (plant) sources and are safe up to day of harvest.

But then, I don't make any money off MY grow.
 
Wow. Everything there was under the sink. Maybe they listed every possibility under the sun, just so they wouldn't have to go to the trouble of listing what's actually on it? Like- cover all bases?
I have zero experience with dispensaries and such. Never even heard the term before joining 420. It makes sense though that many large grows are going to be subject to industrial style spraying.
 
Wow Ive read so much and Im still missing most of it, man just learned you are old enough to be my dad. Also that you use rigid tubing for air exhaust same as I do. Lots of interesting stuff.
That ingredients list was insane, made me feel like a peasant because mine would say bananas, pumpink seeds, papaya, rabbit feed, sugar cane haha and other stuff not supposed to be used for this purpose... But thinking of it I could just attach the words "organic" and "hand made by a hard working artisan in the thirld world" and charge three times as much, but same as someone already mentioned, I dont make money off my weed.
Man I dont know why, but when I was reading what you posted about how stuff changed from thai weed to whatever the dealer said it was, how things developed from that point on etc, I read the whole thing with the voice of chong in my mind haha you have been smoking and probably growing for longer than I have lived, that perspective made realize how much things have changed with the pass of time.
Wow Im very stoned

DIY CALMAG tests

I'm going to post this info on my DIY calmag thread. Here - Anyone make DIY calmag?

The basic results though, of my three different calcium mix attempts.

- calcium carbonate pills (calcium supplements from drugstore)- raises ph close to 7

- calcium mix from powdered oyster shell dissolved in vinegar- raises ph close to 7

- milk- lowers ph close to 4

I'm still formulating my response to that info. I'm gonna hit you up for a bunch of specific data... sorry.
I'm just so damn busy lately....

Can't thank you enough for formally doing all that. It really was a Herculean task.
 
No worries Tead. I still have the last round of mixes sitting on the shelf and I thought I'd do one last test before chucking them out.
It wasn't mega effort. I'm just happy the results were consistent. It's nice to make small gains against the ever present confusion.
 
Weasel could you please help out mouser. He's looking to harvest his Panama.. Thanks man.. Or, why not ?:rofl::rofl:

Very happy with my perlite only cloning tub. These cuttings are almost 3 weeks old, all of them are very well rooted and have been for some time while I pondered their fate. Half of them are Cheese and half are Thai Stick.
I am only going to use a couple of them. I guess that means I have to kill the rest hey AK? I could try to mail them to you?

I want to get seeds of most of the strains I have now. So I'm going to try to do that over the next while with colloidal silver. My plan is to use very small flowering plants for seeding purposes.



image18910.jpeg


I planted a couple cuttings of each strain tonight and put them direct into flowering. I'll spray one of each of them to make it hermie, and use it to pollinate the other one of that strain.
I don't have a clear plan yet on how or where I'm going to separate them while they consummate their love for themselves but I'll deal with that in the future. After that I can bring the pollinated ones back to the flowering room and let it carry on flowering, while the hermies shall be killed.

I might toss the two Thai Stick clones too. My life will be simpler. (And so will theirs ha ha). I can't think of why I need this strain really - the more I think about it. I'd still like to have some seeds of it. Not sure why. Yes it's a landrace. So is the Mama Thai though- it at least an IBL. Inbred Line, which I think is still considered a landrace but I'll double check that.

The deciding factor will be how many seeds I find in the Thai Stick that's set to be harvested in a few weeks. I tried to self pollinate her with CS. I know there is at least one seed on her, because I saw it.

To decide what to do with these former hexapus plants.


I've removed most of the old leaves and the new growth is fine although a little small.
It's been two weeks since I put them back in veg. Four of them (not the Peyote Purple) definitely started flowering during the PH fiasco and are still in flowering mode as far as I can see, if not super vigorously. I've been expecting them every day to start to re-veg but so far they are not.

The Violetta which was looking so sick is getting better in new growth. She's at the back left behind the white marker.

The reasoning to not put them back in flowering was that- they would be even more confused afterwards. Plus- mainly- I was waiting for them to regain health and grow more. But they're not vegging (now/yet) or gaining size. Maybe they have a fighting chance though, health wise, to flower now (?)

At this point I'm wondering whether I should just put them in the flowering what would you guys do?
Yes or no? Just your first guess or whatever.
Otherwise I'll just flip a coin I guess (?).
 
While I wait for the aforementioned hex plants to get their act together I decided to put my largest vegging plant, a Critical Cheese,
into flower, using up half of the space I have been saving for the hex plants. Some harvests will be coming up in a few weeks if I need that space back. I'll manage.
I also put a scrog screen on the other flowering Cheese. At 5 weeks this isn't a time I've ever put a screen on - but she was getting too floppy and trying to touch the floor already, same as the last one did, that purple one. It was easy enough and will work out fine, though some lower growth will be shaded out more with the screen.

I've been spraying a couple tips of this older Cheese with colloidal silver. An experiment. One branch was just sprayed lightly just 3 times and another branch has been sprayed repeatedly over the last month. I'm trying to see if a light spray will produce less hermies, because that would be more convenient than getting hundreds like I did the last two times I tried CS.

This is the left side of the flowering room. A Mama Thai in the corner. Newly introduced and scrogged Cheese on left and older, but also newly scrogged, Cheese on the right. She's still pretty rumpled looking. The lone hexapus plant in front.
 
Errrr, glad that's your decision.. Wouldn't mind seeing at least one or two go into flower to see what happens. I'd wait on some, if room or time isn't an issue, should kick back into veg soon...

I would consider loss and gain. Mostly, what the heck lets try flower.
Is there buds forming on top of Mendo?
Click to expand...

:hmmmm: I can't do the math on loss and gain because I have nothing to work with except guesses but if I knew they wouldn't try to re-reveg in flowering now, then- definitely I would put them back in. But of course now I don't know which way to lean. I'm thinking I'll put them into flowering but I'll leave it up to ypu guys and whoever else comes along.

Yes that's about where they're all at in terms of little flowers on top, and have been stuck for over a week.

Thanks. To see what happens. I hadn't even thought of that, oddly enough. :thumb:
Yeah besides getting the most out of the plants it's the only way I'm going to get real answers about what will happen if I flower them (again). Ok that sort of/kind of makes three of us for putting 'some' into flowering. I'll go do that now.
 
I think it's probably just the results of the crazy ph swings I put them through when I was trying to make DIY calmag for them after I ran out of the real stuff. Then I removed them from flowering. They're recovering from the ph swings now. Probably pretty confused about what season it is though.
 
heya friend,, cheers to ya,, karma sent,,

seems your labooratoory experimentalcases are weaving and wavering like mine,, what looks so obvious and simple is simply obviously not so obvious and simple

my multiple hempy experiments all bombed,, big muckin bomb,, not sure why,, everything i plant, clone, sprout, seems to rot at the stem in perlite,, oh, guess i do know why,, my plants rot at the stem in perlite,, aarrgghh

however,, an experiment only,, we are all stronger after rebounding from failure,,, and so much more filled with knowledge,,

soil, on the other hand, is working fine,, oh so fine,, just enjoying the best garden of my growing life, right the heck now,, ha

P1160933-1.jpg


the three sisters,, my (super lemon haze/afghani)/afghani cross,, from my dern afghani hermies,, the hermies did produce these seeds however,, which are stellar

guess which bud was backbudded,, bet cha can,, ha,, this sixty two or three days flowering,, a week or two to go,, so delicious, indeed

and my dinafem cheese,, just simply outstanding,, not the bud,, no idea iffin the bud be outstanding,, just the plant and the look,,

P1160934-1.jpg


i am waiting these plants out,, i do not care iffin it takes forever,, oh, yes i do,, hurry damn it,, a week more here maybe,, so nice,,

cheers friend,, i guess y'all be a monopuss now,, ha
