sits back and takes another toke....^^^^

 

[Seamaiden]

Ooo.. good idea, satman, good idea.

 

[satman rocks]

So,I just found this thread...anybody wanna give me a two sentence lowdown,til I have time to read it all?

 

[Seamaiden]

Ok, quickie lowdown is this: littlebat got a hold of some Conquistador seeds, a strain apparently bred/created by Subcool (see Subcool's organics to get an idea of what this guy can do), she got those from yeldah, new user, experienced grower. With me so far?

Littlebat had a shitload of seeds and wanted them to get grown, she worked that out with some others who are posting here separately. We are now growing the gifted seeds (remember, we made our arrangements separately, NOT via rollitup, that's against the rules) and comparing our grows. That's pretty much it in a nutshell.

Hey Seamaiden, it seems as though it was algae in the res. I opened it up yesterday and realized that the brownish orange slime was all caught up in the pump. Swished the pump around and chunks of slime came out. Very gross!! So I scrubbed the res out very well with dish soap and rinsed it several times, ran water over the pump until all the goo came out, reloaded the nutes, and put it all back together.

I cannot for the life of me find a place to get food grade h2o2 except online, and the smallest size I've found is a quart. So I'm hoping this will do the trick. Plants still look fine and healthy.

Outdoor plants continue to grow like the weeds they are! It's finally gotten sweltering hot here and they love it.

Got it,seamaiden....whatta sweet deal you guys got into...lol...must be nice to have a network of friends like that...been talkin to honkeytown a little....he is in too?....too sweet

 

[honkeytown]

yo littlebat...i use regulat 3% h202...works just fine...and it's less likely to kill your plants if you overdo it....plants dont come back from that if you put too much in. anyhow...UPDATE

 

[satman rocks]

Yo honkey town...are ya watering those from the bottom

Yo honkey town...are ya watering those from the bottom

Nah man...I just water from the top. does just fine for me. just keep it as simple as I can for myself...on occasion during veg I will foliar feed but not while I still have them on 24/0...I wait till I change them to 18/6 because the stomas on the leaves that soak up the water and nutes only open at sunset and sunrise.

Did I mention I just planted hydro's babies? The Papaya and all the Cali. Indica x Big Bud are all in their own pot for the rest of their lives (hopefully). They're getting the full organic-orgasm-0-tron. Planted one Connie, will be planting the rest when I get the gumption.

 

[honkeytown]

more more more

 

[littlebat]

Those look awesome, Honkeytown! Yay, I'm so excited!

Here are mine today...finally put labels in 'em! (Purple ones, no less. I'd like to think that Prince would be proud.)

For some reason the squirrels really love the third one. I forgot to sprinkle cayenne on it last night and you can see where they went to town. The others were untouched.

Get one of the fake owls(or hawk)...works like a scarecrow for squirrels....I need to see where those can be bought.
Interesting thread...it will be nice to see how it turns out with so many different techniques being used

 

[Seamaiden]

I want a bb gun, I miss having one of those. That would get rid of the squirrels really fast, don't you think?

 

[satman rocks]

BB guns are the shizzit...lol...makes em run
