When old friends come by, it is very great honour.
Internet friends have the most electric personalities. (Ancient Chinese proverb I made up yesterday morning)
Kriaze- I definitely pick the one in rear left. Still messing around with soil mixes hey?
Oh sorry. I always wondered what happened to you. Glad you returned. From the grave
...sometimes just wonder if you like to throw a curve ball out there
As for the other comment I’m not sure what you’re on about, but honestly I’m a half-ass grower at the best of times. Not throwing anyone any loops or curve balls except for myself. Like Tead when he says he’s a lazy grower, I’ve grown to almost loathe the idea of working on the grow. It’s fun to bring them out for pics and harvest, but the regular work- meh. I barely ever go in the grow if I can avoid it. Too busy with other stuff. They get food and water thrown at them if they’re lucky, and with luck the strong survive.
Somehow the plants and equipment and I have come to some sort of understanding and have been teetering along like this for a few years without major catastrophes.
A very big part of the problem is that due to prohibition days my grow is not at all in a convenient spot. In fact it is completely buried at the end of a tunnel of sorts, through all kinds of obstacles, booby traps, punji stakes, all the stuff I learned from this little Vietnam war survival handbook I got at the thrift store that time.
Not exactly- but it is very inconveniently located. If you ever come over, don’t even bother trying to look for it. You won’t even want to. This makes checking the plants a downright pain in the ass. Out of sight out of mind was the original idea and apparently that works two ways.
Admittedly, switching my flowering lights to an earlier hour was a genius idea though - I do get to go in there a lot more often now.
As for extraneous stuff like the grafts, I did them just for fun and in the hopes someone would think it was cool and would like me on the internet.
Re the nanners, it’s mostly just that one strain. PotChimp abandoned it for the same reason. SweetSue grew it too once upon a time, as I recall. My temps are good.
Usually when I see leaf margin curl like that, I think of high humidity.
I set the dehumidifier at 60%
I have my dehumidifier set for 60 too. My weed drying chamber is in the same room so 60% means I can’t overdry it.
As for the high RH and jagged leaves, I’ve often thought the same thing. All my plants usually show the upturned serrations. But what to do about it? Nothing I think.
I’m at a temporary loss on what to do with the M Crop. I may have to go search out some of the more enthusiastic users. I know there are some decent growers out there who seem to think that this stuff works great, so I guess I’ll go look for reassurance
My flowering nutrient situation was screwed up before too. But that was the devil I knew. I’m starting to find the new devil pretty annoying now that I’m toasting my plants in new ways. What conclusions have you come to, Mr
@Tead? Mr
@nivek ? When I bought that stuff I wasn’t planning on spending a bunch of time on the journal talking about it but here we are.
Some of the flowering strains look super dark green. Others are medium green but still look too rich in N by my usual standards.
I haven’t flowered anything up to my previous sticky standards since I got the MC, but then it hasn’t been that long and mistakes have been made.
This poor La Niña in veg looks terribly overdone. Other plants in flower such as this Lemon Skunk cross at 6.5 grams per gallon are looking increasingly sickly.
Yellowing, dull lifeless colour to the leaves. Pics don’t look that bad but in real life they look quite sad. I suppose I’ll bump it up to 7/gallon (?).
Oh common man.... you're just diggin for smart ass comments here. I'd toss one myself, but it seems pointless now. Tempting tho!
Oh please do- go for it.
Dude I’m becoming a Luddite. Have you ever had a crappy relationship, or been in a crappy situation in life, and then later on in future when you’ve grown past it, you look back and think about your ex or your ex situation and simply can’t imagine ever going there again? Like every cell of your being rejects the idea with a shudder, and you know that you’ve moved on to better things?
That’s how I feel about a bunch of common mainstream things like ‘the news’, mainstream human culture, ‘the government’, ‘the law’, facebook, ‘the state of the world’, fashion, movie stars, tv, highways, fast food, lineups, big barn stores, traffic jams, advertising, all that stuff. I’m increasingly unaware that the stuff even exists and have gotten totally addicted to life without it. I’ve moved on. I’ve got all sorts of cool stuff going on here in my peaceful bubble that has nothing at all to do with any of that stuff. I don’t give a rat’s ass about the ‘news’ or politics. I care about making stuff, playing music, fishing, sailing, getting stoned, tweety birds, flowers, rainbows. Stuff like that. All that other stuff can keep off my lawn, goddammit.
