yea...I rant and rant on my thread...Sacramento has a prison camp right outside of town...seen it with my own eyes. former military post, DHS came in, redid all the razor wire, hung a new gate and dug out new footings for it, , uncapped the wells, cleaned the barracks out, redid all the locks, redid the copper wiring that was gutted etc. Then left it locked and secured. We used to go out and paintball and smoke there and shoot targets etc.

There are so many things right now happening that the general population seems woefully ignorant off....WW3 is at our doorstep and no one seems to realize it, we had 5 US soldiers killed on US soil and nothing happened, towns and areas I watched brothers die at to liberate are falling back under ISIS and Al Queda control, places I bled at for this country. Serving this country nearly cost me my testicles. LITERALLY. I don't care how patriotic you are, if taking the oath of enlistment meant you had to be castrated, there would be no soldiers. meanwhile our president is negotiating with Iranians, and taking Syrian refugees in like no ones business. We can supply guns to iraq and afghanis to fight their war, but meanwhile he wants to make legal law abiding citizens have no access to guns. No one seems to realize that if an American is found in Syria....well lets just say syria (like nearly every country now) has Americans blacklisted. Why would we want to invite people in from a country that HATES Americans? Why would we take in the burdens of another country when we have combat veterans homeless on the streets in the US, or killing themselves at the VA center while waiting for the system to give 2 shits and honor the commitment made. Shit...3 combat tours under my belt, disabled from my service, and I get less in disability then illegal immigrants get from our government. AND I regularly get shit from people about "not earning" my disability, and why don't I just get a job and work. Its perfectly ok though to pump 3 or 4 kids about and get WIC, foodstamps, welfare, free college, free babysitting, free taxes, ETC ETC ETC ETC

Dude, I'm totally 100% with ya on everything you said. And I can't fucking believe anyone would have the nerve to tell you to get a Job, wtf is wrong with people?!? It's sickening how vets are treated man, I feel for ya and greatly appreciate you and all the troops, but I really wish these wars weren't about politics and oil, it's madness bro. Fight and bleed for your country to come back home and have the gov not help :(

Hey Alpha (or any of you cool cats), are you able to help me with an issue I'm having....I've started using a new brand of nutrients and I'm getting a weird deficiency/nute burn/pH issue...I'm thinking is phosphorus but I'm not 100% sure. I've flushed again today and thinking of going back to my other nutes as I don't have the issues with it..temps are a little high (28-32 celcius) and my pH is 6.0. Only 7 out of 13 girls are showing this 'burn' on the lower leaves but all have yellowing bottom leaves as well..cheers guys!

what medium are you in? Looks like cal mg to me...are the stems purple? hard to tell from pic

I was thinking this to start with but I'm already using a cal/mg additive as well so I thought I could rule it out. I'm using perlite too mate and the stems are a little purple...maybe you are right, I may just need to up the cal mag. They are under LED too which I've heard they need more cal mag...you may be on to something! Thanks for the reply :)

Are you using ro water or tap water? Also, what ec are you feeding at and is that a clone or seeding and how far along is she? It looks like too much nutes causing some lock out and N tox

I think I'll be harvesting the gdp in a couple days and will put the ghostrider into flower this week after I get the ebb system cleaned up and new tubing in.

I added an oscillating heater that has a thermostat in the veg room and the plants are loving it! Instant veg growth. I was worried that the heater would run alot, and it's 1600 watts, so I definitely was hesitant to run it, but it only runs for a few minutes every hour or so :) shouldn't raise my electric at all, or at least will be a miniscule amount.

Here's the ghostriders - at first I thought I may have had the russet mites because the slow growth and light drooping. But it was 100% the Temps in the room. I'm pretty certain they are pest free so that makes me much less worried

Just tap water bro. EC is 1.6 currently and they are about 4 weeks along. I initially thought the same as you...lockout...first time this has happened to me in over 20 years and it's always difficult to work out exactly what it is..cheers for your help bro, something I'll look at this afternoon. The poor girls were even worse after a flush this morning so could possibly be cal mag too!

For some reason I can't see your post eastcoast, I saw it a few minutes ago and now it disappeared. Guessing RIU is tweaking out again.

So from memory, I think you said your ec is 1.7, that is way too high for a seedling. Cut that down to 1.0ec. I'm gonna take a shot with about 99% faith that you are feeding too high, the nitrogen is too much for the seedling and high nitrogen can cause calcium lock out (as I think your lowest leaves appear to have). I wouldn't add calmag as small plants don't need it and most calmag products also contain Nitrogen, which you don't want, that would increase the issue. Do a small flush with 1ec of base nutes until your run off is 1.0ec and 5.8 pH. I think you said your pH was 6.0 also? I believe pH over 5.8 also makes it hard for the plant to uptake calcium, so I think that's a double whammy, too much N, too high pH for a young plant and too high of an ec. Hope this helps man.

Day 49 on the sea of green, I'm thinking I'll get much more than I expected, so pleased with the turn out and only a couple weeks left to go :) this round I kept them green by running a higher nitrogen mix longer in flower. All the other grows they yellow out way too early, so I'm glad I fixed the problem. These things leave a clear shiny grease on your fingers if you touch them. For some reason they are the most terpiest glue I've seen, straight insane!!

These gdp are a bit over the 8 week mark and I'll be chopping in a couple days. Love the colors! And the smell is great!

On day 14 with the spb x Chem, gg4 and kushberry. Everything is growing great and I added the 2nd trellis. I'll be pruning them up a bit soon. I can't believe how they filled out so quickly, really excited to see how they turn out. Also curious how the kushberry will turn out, though I have no more cuts of her, I'm hoping maybe a Good head stash. They've started to start bud sets. Getting the bennies and a even 1200ppm of nutes. 50/50 mix

Anyone remember hearing how the ice caps are melting at an alarming rate? And polar bears dieing off because of less ice?

I'm reading that the ice caps are actually the biggest they've been in 30 or some odd years and that the ice blocks that were breaking off in large amounts were because of a volcano. Also, polar bear population has increased by something like 10%

This is awesome news :) kind of confuses me about the man made global warming thing, but that's no surprise really since I swear everything I hear on TV is wrong ugh.

Then I find out the cook study concenus was a fraud and 30000 scientists have signed a petition to debunk it.. Is anything real anymore?!? Well, at least I'm happy that the warming is not accurate co2 pollution set aside, we do need to put a spot to the bad kind of pollution but at least we won't be entering some kind of ice age soon

we are "taught" what someone wants to teach us. who that someone is, no fucking idea, except for they have a huge mf ego!!! anyway yeah, i am worried about the ocean life bc that is what regulates or certainly has a huge bearing on regulating, but the global warming deal to me is the circle of life, the earth circle of life, things die, things are born. Of course we are certainly not helping things, but its a money making scheme all the way around, everything is....all about making money, sad by true and sorry for the negative slant :).

Your plants look fkn awesome Alpha. Mine are coming along on the roof as well. More going down soon too.

Hey Alpha, just saw your reply, RIU had some major issues yesterday for some reason! Thanks heaps for that advice bro, I think you are right, I also checked my pH pen this afternoon and it is out by 0.2 so my pH is more like 6.2 which is on point with what you said, it's more likely a lockout of calcium. I'll be flushing tomorrow and bringing it down to 5.8. I did change back to my other nutes and the EC is 1.1 so that other stuff must've been heaps stronger! Thanks for your help bro, really appreciate it :)
Your SOG is RIDICULOUS!! They are some seriously freakin awesome buds!! So jealous right now ;)

You got that right brother, every political stance has a money making agenda, it's never about the people! It's ridiculous! And thanks man! I hope your plants are kicking ass as well :)
