Welcome All My Friends To The Show That Never Ends - Canna M & Nismo12 Team Up!

There's only one person I know on the interweb that writes in your particular style!...LOLOOL...and he is the reason I ended up here nearly six years ago...different forum...different premise...butt... a belated thanks for that...hope Mom is still doing OK...Cheerz...h00k...
Dude that's cool. I feel like this has been a fellow that's drawn me in with this voice (among many) that just work for me and I can identify with and learn from. Listen to and just kind of absorb


Phrum the light room.
 
I am thinking Shiggs is right on, mostly cause some seeds were mature, so that took some time. I chased my tail with a hermie a couple of months ago. They are my own seeds I started with and not stable so I expect it, I keep my plants tiny so it is manageable to chase hermie bits for a little while but they will spray pollen and ya cannot get them all. My little Herm made about 20-30 viable and a good handfull of green seed. frickin pain in the tootie.... But I am learning bunches as i go.

I found these and chopped it down couldnt take it any more, plucking them off. :goodluck:

Just taking a peek. I saw you say something about seed. Mr Krip handled that well. I always find afew male sign in longer flowering or late into flower. I can't type like he can but was good info. If you only got afew seeds,,,, good chance they will be female. I didn't read all so if that's all out there already,,,, my bad. Keepem Green
 
One other thing I'll toss out, although, I don't know that it will be of help now...

Dutch Masters makes (or used to make!) a product called "Reverse". You could spray it on a hermie and, supposedly, it would revert back to Female. I've never used it personally (or had to! :wood: ) and have seen some mixed reviews on it, but it appears, if you catch the nanners early enough, it does work.
 
If pollen is wet...it dies right?

Corn farmers sure hate to see rain when the corn plants are feeling frisky.

We can move them out for a day and just clean the room like crazy.

Soap and water would be fine. Throw in a little bleach (don't mix it with DAWN, it's not as bad as peeing into a toilet that has bleach in it, but it's still not a pleasant experience) if you want to go the extra mile. Just be certain to hit all the cracks & crevices / nooks & crannies. I assume you do that anyway whenever you have a grow room cleaning day. You can always spray your plants (everything, including the undersides of the leaves) with water, like if you were trying to spray off spider mites in the kitchen sink, lol. Your carbon filter... Assuming it has nothing that could melt (IOW, plastic), you could pop it into the oven for a while (which won't hurt the carbon - and might just "refresh" it very slightly if the temperature is high enough and it's in there for an hour). The real hassle will be in disassembling your lights (etc.) to clean out the innards, if you're trying to be thorough. I guess if you've got an air compressor, you could blow air through every opening @ 120 PSI, lol, but I'd be afraid to try that on this LED panel - and you have some of those, don't you?

So. Now we have to come up with a plan.

Pretend you walked in and discovered a cockroach, lol - MOVE! (Just kidding. Scrub everything you can in your entire house, wash all your clothes as if they've all been worn, and do your shoes, too.)

Oh, yeah: And just when you have the entire residence and all its contents sterilized and get the last plant put back into the grow under the (reassembled) lights... you'll probably find a male flower. That seems to be how it works :rolleyes3 ...

There's only one person I know on the interweb that writes in your particular style!...LOLOOL...and he is the reason I ended up here nearly six years ago...we were at a different forum...different premise...butt... a belated thanks for that...hope Mom is still doing OK...Cheerz...h00k...

Hmm... Six years ago? Do the words "Click... Click... BOOM!" mean anything to you? Just on the slim chance that they do, tell everyone at the old haunt that I hope they're doing well, and if they ever lift that ban I promise not to call the little peckerhead a little peckerhead again (okay, well, I won't promise - but I'll sure try ;) ). And I hope that... the horse is still running the place.

Mom... In about a month she went from sounding like a reasonably mean older woman to one of those ancient crones with the wavering voice. Recent events, her health, her age... her mind is at the point where riding in the car with her is alternatively really stressful ("I don't care if I've been there 100 times, tell me which way to go!") and terrifying (she still wants to drive 55 in a 25, but isn't nearly as aware of other players in the game - but she'll creep up an Interstate on-ramp at 35 freakin' MPH, almost get hit entering the roadway, then almost hit the next person that enters... then almost rear-end someone two miles later because the poor SoB is only tooling along at 80 in a 70), and where she does things like b!tch and yell at my brother for getting paint on the pictures hanging on her bedroom wall when he painted it last year - when in actualality, SHE painted it five years ago (and my brother, having more sense than the average rock, would have taken everything off the walls instead of trying to paint around the stuff... FFS!). Stuff like that. She can't breathe, she can't go ten minutes without looking for a bathroom, and the only time she has a kind word for me is when she's hating on everyone else she knows with a purple passion and is wanting to have someone to talk to (but I've more or less gotten used to that after 40+ years of it). But, hey, she's Mom - and she did the best she could to raise me when she could step out of the family-tragedy induced madness for more than a minute or two at a time. So I'm trying to do what I can to help. My number one goal in life is to outlive her by at least a day, because no one should have to bury their own child (and she's already done that once).

Dude that's cool. I feel like this has been a fellow that's drawn me in with this voice (among many) that just work for me and I can identify with and learn from. Listen to and just kind of absorb

Aww, thanks, guys... (~TS~ gets a swelled head :P )

Just remember to never take any advice without THINKING about it. I can be wrong just as often as anyone else. I'm certainly no expert, and hopefully never will be - the day I can no longer learn anything new, I might as well go get measured for a casket.

Dutch Masters makes (or used to make!) a product called "Reverse". You could spray it on a hermie and, supposedly, it would revert back to Female.

Yeah, but that stuff costs like $58 per liter and you use it full-strength. You're also supposed to buy their "Saturator" product so you can add a little bit to however much of the Reverse you put into a spray bottle (supposed to use it within 30 minutes of adding the Saturator). That's pretty expensive.

I agree 420%, which is a large reason I don't even own a bottle. I guess it depends on the individual and how they value their harvest. Me? I just try to spread the knowledge! ;)
 
I just try to spread the knowledge! ;)

Appreciate it.

And such a product - if it works well - could arguably be worth the price, I suppose.
 
The reverse product is ethephon which is a plant growth regulator used to do quite many things in horticulture. It converts quickly to ethylene gas. Colloidal silver shuts down the ethylene gas pathway making males. This enhances ethylene production. It can be bought in a concentrated form much cheaper than the reverse product.

But it also has several other effects for horticulture. It is used to prevent early flowering of ornamentals. It is also used to bring about ripening in stored fruit like pineapple. So there are multiple effects that would be hard for us to control. It may stop hermaphroditic events but the genetics are still there. And this stoppage will take time just as taking a female and making her express male flowers takes time. But will it delay flowering? Will it hasten ripening? I don't know. And it must be applied frequently because it breaks down into ethylene.

So I can't really see a use for this stuff. My early season herms go straight to the compost bin.by the time you realize a plant is early season hermaphroditic the damage has usually been done. And I certainly won't grow it again! What we really need is a plant "morning after" pill :rofl:

Btw tortured soul your signature reminded me of the chronicles of amber that I read in my teens. I read all the books about Corwin. Zelazny is a great author!

Hey....there are all the details at Noob's thread! I told Sue all about it but don't think she's even seen it yet!:circle-of-love:
just called the insurance company...they may just write it off and pay me a cash settlement....that would be awesome , as i can still drive it but need some CASH. Would help me pay for my upcoming vacation that i have to pay for that is 2000.00 by the end of Oct.....Yikes eh! had to pay an additional 500 cuz of Marilyn not going....Rats soup!

Yeah I saw it. That sucks, but at least everyone is ok. I messaged Sue yesterday also. I'm not sure she's getting them. I never heard back and that's not like her. Hmmm. Maybe she will see this and investigate.
 
Northern Lights Blue Harvest


This morning we had time to harvest our NLB. She is being taken at 60 days in flower. I wish she wasn't so tall and lanky but it sure did make trimming her extremely easy. :rofl: But she had a great amount of frost on her and some dark glossy leaves. Back building was not done on this one but it was on the next ones coming up. I think the back building is a great technique and I like the way the buds look a lot more. Just a couple shots of here as there will be more in 5 days or so when she is dry.

There she is and she is nothing impressive but she will have a great taste to her I can tell. The trim will be run through the bubble bags and get a good amount of bubble hash. Tried to leave a good amount of sugar leaves on her but leaving too much and it seems "cluttered" to me. We did some searching through the buds for nanners, seeds, or any other male parts of signs of pollination. Nothing. So on the seed point of view this one is showing signs of being negative.


I can't wait to start the high brix and get strong stems so they don't get all floppy like they have been. Getting a good root ball in the 1s will be rewarding. The kit will be more than likely be started in the next week or so. It'll give a little more lead time in the flower room and give us time to clear it out a bit.


Today all the girls in the flower room were fed and they were happy to get it. Trying to give them all the same amount of feed but a couple of them are showing a nitrogen abundance so it is being weened out of their diet ever so slowly. When you open the door to the flower room you are bombarded with a sweet smell that is a little piney. Sticky yummy goodness. We have a Hortilux eye 600 watt HPS bulb on its way to replace the one in flower. See if we get some good results from it.


That's really all I have for today. Nothing much else going on until the veg room gets fed maybe tomorrow. Did some slight adjusting on the LST and nothing much else. Have a great weekend everyone and look up the history of why us Americans have Monday as a holiday. Stay classy friends. :passitleft:
 
And it must be applied frequently because it breaks down into ethylene.

So I can't really see a use for this stuff.

The first time I ever saw it advertised, I wondered if it was a placebo with a decent set of directions, lol. You know... "Upon the first appearance of a male flower, begin picking off every male flower and continue to do so throughout the remainder of the grow. Completely saturate the entire plant (and everything else in sight) with this product. Repeat spray at each future appearance of a male flower." Sort of like remove all the pollen factories, then hose down any viable pollen that already has been.

Btw tortured soul your signature reminded me of the chronicles of amber that I read in my teens. I read all the books about Corwin. Zelazny is a great author!

He was. Roger Zelazny died in 1995 (of some kind of "gut cancer"), so there won't be any more of his books. I think I've read every book and short story he ever wrote, along with some essays (I did skip the poetry stuff, though). The first two of the Chronicles of Amber books, Nine Princes in Amber and The Guns of Avalon, were among the very few novels that I've ever bothered to read a second time - but that's understandable, I suppose... Not only were they great works that practically defined their own sub-genre, I think I was about six years old the first time I read them, lol.

Hehehe!...Trigs still is...not much going on...can go weeks with no posts...I'll let them know...cheerz...h00k...

I thought that was you, lol. Please do. And tell the horse that the first time I saw that BAN notice, I sort of shrugged my shoulders and thought, "Well, that's life" - but within a minute, it felt like a prison sentence (and continues to). Whodathunkit, lol?

EDIT: Glad I got you to join 420 Magazine. You must like it, you're still here six years later.

just called the insurance company...they may just write it off and pay me a cash settlement....that would be awesome , as i can still drive it but need some CASH.

Then you could buy it back from them and fix it yourself (and pocket the difference). Well... unless it is like a car I used to have. I could still drive it after some stupid broad attempted to drive through my driver's door at about 40 MPH (put me completely under the steering column, lol, and I like never got out), but as looking down at the car from above would put you in mind of a shallow "V" (car was bent), it was quite a fight to go straight. After I recovered, I drove it for about a month and a half - and spent the next three years paying the thing off (liability insurance, lazy cop declared no one was at fault).

Would help me pay for my upcoming vacation that i have to pay for that is 2000.00 by the end of Oct.....Yikes eh! had to pay an additional 500 cuz of Marilyn not going....Rats soup!

You might be able to advertise and find another woman who'd be happy to go. Or maybe not, you mentioned kids. I know, leave them with the wife and take three women who are looking to save on vacation costs. Okay, might not be the most practical idea in the world...

On second thought, just tell your wife that if she doesn't want to go, her sister said that she would, lol. I bet she beats you to the plane (or beats you all the way to the plane ;) ).

Northern Lights Blue Harvest

Looks good! Don't forget to hold your head at an angle when you smoke it ;) .

I can't wait to start the high brix and get strong stems so they don't get all floppy like they have been.

I think a lot of people completely disregard the importance of the plant's health and structure as a whole. <SHRUGS> It's not like a strong set of branches is going to hurt harvest, lol.

Today all the girls in the flower room were fed and they were happy to get it.

Sounds like my cats. I went grocery shopping with Mom the other day (she can't reach the top shelf or lift heavy objects any more) and was looking to see which cat food was cheapest (and trying to compare nutritional information) and she said, "If you change their food all the time, they won't eat it." My cats eat whatever I put in front of them - and appreciate it. They both grew up on the streets, and almost died from it.

We have a Hortilux eye 600 watt HPS bulb on its way to replace the one in flower. See if we get some good results from it.

They're great. Pricey, though. But the last test I saw had them ranked a few percent above #2, then that one was ranked a few percent above the rest of the field (which was all very close together). And those percentage points would pay for the bulb if you had to buy the cannabis that you didn't harvest to make up for it.
 
I'm in awe of your operation! Wow, you really have a great grow room. I'm going to plant some soon. But for now, I'm a fly on your wall. Stay green...

Welcome HeDgELoG! It's good to have you here! Stop by anytime and feel free to ask as many questions as you like, because if you are thinking it, then someone else probably is as well. I'm sure Duggan will be by soon to give you the proper welcome. Lol! He's a good dude. There are a bunch of wonderful people here. Have a nice night, and have a puff.
