Virgin Ground And The Little Star Asterion

[Virgin Ground]

Hmmm.... I just did a run-off test. 6.4 . So my P, Ca and Mg are locked out. I watered them with 6.8pH tap.

I switched the small floor fan for an oscillating one above the canopy. Just enough room.

temp 70-81f rh 45%


I'll figure this out yet. I just wish I had a better memory.

Fever is still there walking too much, but I will survive... I'm not giving birth lol
I never used a pH so I can't help you there.
Anytime I saw something, I fed it and in a few days I saw that it helped.

 

[Virgin Ground]

Take care of yourself. I shouldn't talk I guess. I kinda pushed it today and feel a bit worse now.

Once my pH meter is here I will do a proper slurry test. Too hard to see with the drop kit. I just need to get my pH up a bit , I think.

 

[AngryBird]

Get well, you know the drill.. We never have a chance to "just stay in bed".
There are some organic ways to do that.
If you want to test, check first post in my journal.

Does anyone else notice that their plants put out an extra pungent smell during lights out?

I can smell it even though my scrubber fan is on high. I can't smell the flowers unless I open the tent. So why can I smell this past the filter. It only goes on for a few minutes. I notice that my mother plant that is under my fish tank does this at lights out too. Smells kinda like weed crossed with tomato plants. I thought maybe the plants dumping co2? If that is indeed a thing.

 

[AngryBird]

I think it has to do with that. Dumping co2.
I can't explain it scientifically. Nature does it too.
Night time is almost like "going into winter" just a little less. Plants go oups... Need to get a move on...
That is why plants need sun and darkness

 

[Virgin Ground]

I thought that their respiration of co2 was a little more subtle, not a huge amount at the onset of darkness.. The co2 must be heavier and can escape through my bottom vent holes. Crazy stinky plants.

Boyfriend ( pretty much my hubby, we're 12 years into the insanity) always complains about the smell. I told him I would get an answer.lol. It lasts for a couple of minutes, but still gets annoyed about it.

If I can't find a "scientifically proven" acceptable answer, as he put it....I will just stoner ramble until he loses interest. This plan is solid and hasn't let me down yet.

Or, just have a air freshener handy.... Auto spray every 10min....
He is called hubby after so many years. And may you have a 100 more together.

I bought a second fan and carbon filter to run as a scrubber. I love the dank smell quite a bit, had a cut today and it's quite pungent right now. Anyway, the scrubber cleans up anything should I not want it there smell wise...like if in-laws show.

 

[Virgin Ground]

That is a sound suggestion. As money becomes more available after the holidays, I can look into it. Stupid expensive hobby

Thanks sweetie!

Hobby is as expensive as you want it to be
Gadget freak
Seed junkie
Top notch maniac...

See a pattern..?

Or just plain sweet 'ol gardening...
With super food for the ladies

Interesting theory on the co2 I have yet to notice that on my plants but I’ll keep an eye out for it to see if I notice it. I personally love the smell so it doesn’t bother me though so maybe I’m oblivious to it?

 

[AngryBird]

I did smell it too
And when I did, I just smiled and send love towards them.

I fall into the gadget junkie category, I guess. I get WAY too excited over leds.

 

[AngryBird]

Lol you are not alone.... My first thought, after the move, is not to buy a bed for me.. It is aaaa what light to get?
Lol

It doesn't smell like cannabis in flower. It smells closer to tomatoes in veg. I kinda want to pick a botanists brain about it. And I only notice it is right at lights out. I love the smell of my ladies too. Sometimes that smell hits you and it gets your blood pumping or you get the warm fuzzies. I prefer it to roses and honeysuckle now. An actual intoxicating smell.

 

[AngryBird]

Agree 420%

Lol

Bah! Just get a hammock. More like a nest anyway. Who needs beds? Except those with horrible back pain. I think if I tried to sleep in a hammock, I would never be able to straighten out my body.

 

[AngryBird]

Actually, a mattress on the floor is good enough for me lol
