VIVOHUT Bill284's New Grow Facility: Featuring VIVOSUN & Herbies Seeds

[Bill284]

Yeah. My three cents…

We all screw up, and when we are generally meticulous it makes it way harder when you do!

Plants - don’t over react. They’ll be cool. Bit of a flush and defoliate those burnt leaves and all will be forgotten within the week. I descibe it as “historical nute burn” in my photos

I get the heavy hearted glumness. Fed mine 4.1 EC two weeks ago I’m happy at 3.1 at four! 4.1 when I was in a cab and no one was answering their phone to switch it off

Next morning yeah hurt them a little but all forgotten.

You’ll harvest well my friend! If it was perfect every time where would the fun be!

Nick

Got carried away with myself.
He I hear the Maple Leafs golf season starts tomorrow.
Glad I gave up long ago.
Don't need the disappointment.
Like that race Sunday you see it?
Maby it's time to check out curling, hehe.
At least the river is dropping and the tree's are budding.
Spring has finally sprung.
Now to catch up on my to do list, a hundred miles long now.
Take care Amigo

I'm a 'powder finger' myself and you gotta be careful with powdered dry nutes and mix exactly, and correctly - when I mix a big 5 gallon jug it only takes 20 grams of powder, so that stuff's pretty serious. I love the price and quality of dry nutes though, in fact, I just reminded myself, my favourite, a non-sponsor (MC) is giving away 3-lb. sample bags right now, of their all-in-one (quite good) and they sent me 2x 3lb bags and a 200g bag of powdered kelp extract with it - and all arrived, ''literally'', within 24 hours contact to my door, no cost to me whatsoever.

Hiya Bill! Will you say Hi to Rexer for me? I forgot to say that before.

Kinda miss your old avatar, this one's pretty funny though. A pic of your moto-brain-bucket, in profile, so we can see the number would be an awesome avatar pic to have in rotation. I did make a couple of prints of my favourite "Bill pic" from the greenhouse last year, it features the helmet. I want to start a "legendary Buds" wall in the growroom, but haven't got that far yet. It'll mostly be pics from here of my favourite people's best bud pics; it's nice to make things a little bit less 'virtual' now and then.

If you ain't burning your plants you aren't trying hard enough! (...someone once told me. Not sure that's quite right, but I offer as moral support!)

"Look out, mama, there's a white boat coming up the river
With a big red beacon, and a flag, and a man on the rail
I think you'd better call John
'Cause it don't look like they're here to deliver the mail
And it's less than a mile away
I hope they didn't come to stay
It's got numbers on the side and a gun
And it's making big waves..."

Love Neil so much.
Sat with him and an old acoustic guitar for a couple hours once.
Played his hits acoustic just sitting in a wooden chair telling stories and playing tunes.
It was one of the greatest nights of my life.
I have goosebumps just thinking about it.
Quite apropos as usual, hehe.
I've got a couple pis with the helmet and numbers but I like this one lately.
@Trala made it for me. What a peach.
Package says 1 gram per litre of water which is odd I thought.
Almost saying dissolve it in there but didn't quite.
So I poured a gram as I'd done a 1000 times!
Fried like an egg, heart breaking.
I can tell you why leaves pray now, abundance of K.
Burnt and stuck praying.
Looks great except they're brown.
Mystery solved.
We never finished discussing that subject.
Offer still stands.
Hope your having a nice week.
Talk soon.

It's one thing being stuck and just doing your best. As you did.
Completely different from what I did.
I tell people every day go easy with a new product at first, just incase.
In fact years ago I got my arse handed to me by Em. for telling someone exactly that, take it easy at first.
Guess I was right after all.
Lot of good it does me now.
Hope your doing well my friend.
Take care.

I know he’s Canadian but how the hell did you get a private concert with him? That’s so awesome n cool that I’m in shock. CL

My brother has played with him too. Very nice guy bit of an odd ball but my brother says thst about everyone!

Edit - I’ll pop a youtube of my bro playing from Youtube in off topic sometime. He looks nothing like me. He has a fat face. Been telling him that since he could talk

Nick

 

[NickHardy]

It's one thing being stuck and just doing your best. As you did.

Should have just flushed a day. It was a 90 minute round trip to pick up 40 litres/10G of A/B Bloom. Lazy by me. The A ran out on 700ml perfect for 3.5ml p/l The B ran out on 200ml. I was half way through mixing so topped up with Veg

How?!

My friend at the time had connections. HA.
It wasn't private. There were lots of people.
I was lucky enough to have a seat right in front of him.
He wasn't more than 10 ' from us.
Just chatted and played his guitar.
It was an incredible night.
I've had incredible experiences at concerts and sporting events.
I sung Sledge Hammer on stage with Peter Gabriel at Maple Leaf Gardens, been Gold record parties all kinds of crazy stuff.
But nothing beats that experience.
Every time I here him I think of that night.

Crazy Horse?
Or just an occasional gig?
Wish I had pics or video of that night.
Cell phones were stiil just on Star Track back then.
Mind you some stuff was better off not recorded, thankfully.
I might have been a bit rambunctious back then.
The last thing I need is haunting YouTube video of my antics in my youth.
I couldn't imagine growing up now.
Every mistake you ever make is recorded.
It's a night ill remember forever.

It's 90 minutes one way here to find civilization let alone nutrients.
I flushed the heck out of them, after.
How? What?

[NickHardy]

Oh the how?! How does B always run out faster! Sorry - should have added when I borrowed the 40L I was warned one of the B’s wasn’t quite full and no one knew why (I drove down to the factory to pick up on my own without the staff) plus my old Veg A/B from the first grow the B def has less than the A!

B seems to disappear quicker!

& Co’s name begins with a B too…

Yeah there’s some cool videos my brother. Sony were paying for them!

I’ll find a favourite. Him playing Glastonbury in the NME tent at their last gig was epic. I was trashed. My parents were trashed. They finished and everyone left. Paul McCartney was last up that night after them. Gave them huge props. They killed it. On the BBC somewhere.

That sounds fantastic.
Love to see the video.
It does seem to run out first for some reason. I'll need more myself.
I don't have enough Plagron to last the whole grow. I think.
Hopefully my Remo arrives soon.
Not sure what I'm doing in the greenhouse for nutrients this year. I may have to use non sponsored nutrients.
I don't want to but I'm not forking a grand to run the greenhouse.
There has to be something decent and economical available.
I just have to find it.

[NickHardy]

Posted the Glastonbury thing in my OT. He really has a fat face.

I use Dutch Pro. Happy with it. But mostly because its available in 20L containers.

I paid about $400 for 20L each of A/B Bloom (Flower) I use off brand Cal Mag that’s way cheaper than theirs. Their root boost a bit but also use @DYNOMYCO their Total and then their Bloom Explode. That’s $100 a litre. Its $1400+ for 20L. Savings but we use 2L a grow so we can stick to the 1L bottles.

Some cheap Home Depot sea related stuff occasionally. But really easy to dial in. For us we need to Ph it with the Hydro/Coco blend. With your setup were you to look at it I would suggest the Soil blend. We used that and it went in 6.5 every day (naturally - the well water comes out about 7.0) and came out 5.8. Same price but you supplement your coco so reckon that would be a better fit.

Take a look if its around in Canadialand!

Supporting sponsors is cool but most of them don’t ship here for me. And yeah the ones that do I’m not so happy with

It's shipping issues here mostly.
I was using a 100 litres of Rx a day in the greenhouse last summer.
That and Remo in veg would have been around $1500.00 beginning to end.
Thankfully it was all sponsored , didn't pay a dime.
I will probably fill it again this year, I'm also growing for a friend.
He is in a wheelchair and can't get to the garden.
His dad ruined the girls I gave him last spring .
So I volunteered to grow his aswell.
So I'm looking to reduce the costs.
I'll look into that line you mentioned.
Home Depot is a long way from here though.
Canadian Tire is my only option within reasonable distance.
I use there kelp extract, excellent stuff.
As long as I keep the microbes and fungi alive everything usually goes quite well.
I probably burnt them to death aswell.
Where's my Bokashi again?
