Thanks TraLa, for now it looks like the magnesium deficiency has got this one! I’m salting her down like nobodies business. What seems to help right now is spraying mag on her trunk and arms.... she seems to like that and purrs when I break out the spray bottle...

Thanks Mr. Sauga - Phew, that’s a big relief cause those royalty fees add up!

The nose on this Hawaiin Haze is delightful. I’m not the best at describing the scents but what I’m getting is pine, lemon lime, tropical fruit, bubblegum and a hint of diesel. Now that may not sound tasty all jumbled up together but man.... I could Hoover on these fresh buds for a while.

White Water Version 1.0, this a dissolved oxygen water hack that I’m trying.
Safety first - the power supply must be DC voltage as in DIRECT CURRENT ONLY. The reason for this caution is we are using water and electricity. Um, hopefully by now kiddies you know water and electricity don’t play nice together. So I repeat DC as in DIRECT CURRENT ONLY for your low voltage power supply. Next I’m not responsible for your actions but also please consider don’t try this if you have children or pets that could roam into your grow space. PUT THUS UP ON A HIGH SHELF OUT OF REACH OR USE A BUCKET LID..... Now the disclaimers are invoked - moving forward.
The materials are simple
2 pieces of metal, stainless or alloys may work better here
Non conductive spacers as in wood or rubber
DC low voltage power supply. *** read the label jag-off *** don’t make assumptions if you can’t see the label clearly. This one has an output of 12 volts dc.
bucket of water
I’m testing this with 1/4 inch hardware cloth fencing but could be done with stainless steel or this funky new lightweight metal called alu-min-ium don’t fret but it rhymes with condominium.....
Next the 2 pieces of metal should be very close to each other but not touch or make contact - hence the spacers. I’ve used wood shish-kabob skewers, you could use air hose tubing or most any clean non metallic and non conductive material.
Power supply yes once again DIRECT CURRENT ONLY
Power supply low voltage DC or DIRECT CURRENT POWER SUPPLY ONLY
I made 2 concentric rings about 4 inches in diameter for the first one about 4 & 1/2 on second one.
this pic is to illustrate the gap or spacing so the two pieces of metal don’t touch each other. Note the spacers help to hold the gap.
Wire from low voltage DC power supply attached to outer ring
Wire from low voltage DC power supply attached to inner ring
Bucket of water
drop the device in water first then plug into outlet - in a moment tiny bubbles begin to rise
after 5 minutes the top of water is white with tiny bubbles. I’m wondering what the results will be with different or more clean metals like aluminum or stainless steel also note the paint paddle bit on table. I paddle stir my water with a battery drill anyway but wanted to try this hack. After 15 minutes the bubbles appear to be in top 1/2 inch of water but wonder if left for an hour or overnight if the bubbles will be suspended all the way to the bottom of the container. Who knows? Also curious about the effect of wetting agents like yucca or surfactants like non scented dish soap.
one last time DC DIRECT CURRENT POWER SUPPLY ONLY
update to add: preliminary results after 1 hour tell me that the bubbles remain in the top 1/2 of the water.... now to try different metals, wetting agents and surfactants.

Those mini science kits as a kid were probably no good for you. 
Interesting demonstration 013.

Hey Mr. Sauga oh you know it - I would blow shit up or burn it down!! Ha, ha Yes sir - the idea is more dissolved oxygen in the water. It’s supposed to put more oxygen down than an airstone can do. Here’s link to the real deal obviously mine is a redneck bush fix. Oxygen emitter
After two hours the top 1/2 inch was totally white with tiny bubbles, and when I moved the rig I could see the bottom 1/2 inch layer was also white with bubbles. It’s not water day for my crew for a while yet but I will run it again in a few days.
Nunyabiz runs a sonic or electronic oxygen emitter in his water but they are like $200 each, they are also used in live keep wells on fishing boats. I will tinker with stainless steel and aluminum too but for no money spent I’m pretty excited that there is potential here, especially if I can stir it up with the paint paddle for better distribution

That’s excellent I’m on GFCI but I didn’t put it in the write up...
...that's far out, brother!

Thanks man! It’s not working very well yet but it does throw a fair amount of tiny bubbles. For zero dollars and 30 minutes of time it’s not horrible... we will see what happens with version 1.1

Did not know that.... thank you Celt!!!
...made a little reactor, did'ya?

Apparently I’m gonna blow stuff up for realz this time!!!

you could, I scared the shit outta myself at about 15 yrs old doing the same thing lol filled a balloon with the gas from one side of that setup. It was hydrogen and when I lit it, BOOM

Checking on the Hawaiin Haze cbd plant Monday but noticed it’s got the clap, had been hitting with SNS 203 root drench & foliar but the critters have multiplied. Went ahead and did 36 hours darkness and took the harvest since she was ready and left some meat on her bones to keep drawing sap. Gonna try reveg since we worked to get a nice frame built, but yield was small and rather disappointing. Now if I can kill off the spider mites embedded in the soil - we will see about that reveg.
She was in 3 gallons and at time of upcan I couldn’t get her bucket removed so I drilled 5 dozen 1/2 inch holes - that is one dozen per side and another dozen on the bottom and stacked her into a 16 gallon tub.
I was curious to see if the double bucket upcan had developed a massive rootball beyond the first container and as I was afraid the side wall roots did not attach well into the second bucket but there were some roots on bottom that passed thru. The rootball wasn’t that thick at the time of upcan so nothing concrete on observation but had the rootball been thicker I do think she would have knit better into the fresh soil.
After the harvest did root pruning and swapped her into a 4 gallon bucket. I’m treating the plant and soil with Neem and going to buy oil dormant spray as an alternative pest killer. I’m hanging a no pest strip too and plan to spray aggressively to kill off the mites and any other freeloaders.
HH Before the chop and re-can.
Bare naked before root pruning
Into a 4 gallon with fresh soil with a no pest strip by her side.

Hopefully you’re on the road to recovery.
I‘m on my second nit treatment today. I’ll be sure to have a good inspection.

Yes slowly, she had live mites crawling on the edges of bucket today so she got another neem spray treatment! Then she got yanked from the high shelf in the grow room and moved to another room where she was placed by the window. Now she’s wearing a No Pest Strip as a necklace for 24 hours then we will place the No Pest Strip under her elevated bucket for 24 hrs to kill from the bottom side too. I’m going to try the oil dormant spray thanks to marzbadrock who dropped that nugget but I’m also considering the Neemattack nematodes that mochabud uses. Just got some liquid kelp, crab meal and malted barley

My friend! late to the party, but ill make myself welcome here
Looks like I'm in time to start getting some live action pest troubleshooting. Hows she holding up?
