A Cannabinerd's Journey

[AlphaPhase]

Here's the sour power from the last harvest that was grown in dirt, I didn't grow it very well due to bad light bulbs and other issues . But It's frosty as hell

 

[AlphaPhase]

@Aeroknow do you think ^^^ that's decent bag appeal? I mean it'll come out way better this run, but is that a good start at least?

Hell yeah!
Save me a sample

OK awesome!! Maybe there's still hope left! Lol, there's one more run of it with the ghostrider batch, and then 2 in the gg4 batch so hopefully she comes through

 

[eastcoastmo]

Alpha, mate, all your gear has wicked bag appeal

 

[papapayne]

Alpha, mate, all your gear has wicked bag appeal

Agreed!

 

[SupaM]

I'll third that! Your ish is on point alpha! Period. ATB!

 

[AlphaPhase]

Well hell! Thanks yall!! I'm my own worst critic sometimes

I put a layer of hydroton around the pots in the veg tray for the ghostriders. I'm hoping it'll keep algae from growing on the tray and also cover the roots so they can spread out and grow a bit more. I also covered the glue s1 tray with the insulation board. Figure nows the best time to see which will work best for the roots

We always are our worst critics bro
Nice work with your trays, do you wash and reuse all your hydroton balls? Seems like a lot there that would add up otherwise..

 

[papapayne]

Yea....I am my worst critic as well. It has been a while since I had some easy grows to...last few have all been fighting something...fighting the carport frame, root aphids, or pm. I know I am so fucking ready for a dialed in, sit back and smoke a bowl and make sure everything stays on track grow.

Don't see one coming for a while though lol.

I thought about covering my flood tray as well after watching you but if it's not broke don't fix it. I did that before and cause more issues then needed

 

[supdro]

Will do man! The mendo breath is so damn good, I got 1 clone and flowered it as a tester to see if I liked it and just was in love with it. I only have a few pics of her, here she is, I can't wait to get it back and then the dosido oh Lord I can only imagine

Luv that bag appeal how was the smoke?

Thanks bro I used to wash them but recently starting with the ghostriders and glue sog I've been buying new ones, it sucks but I can't clean them fast enough I use like 100 gallons worth so it's a huge waste to throw them out but I can't keep up with cleaning

I'm in the same boat bro, it happens and it sucks! If it's not one thing it's something else, but eventually everything clicks and it's smooth sailing. You'll get things dialed soon bro. I actually can't wait to shut down for a bit for my house walk through so I can recoup, gather my thoughts and start fresh

You got that right man, never change anything that isn't broke my best grows were from covered trays with suspended net pots, but since I switched to using bigger pots and not covering the tray I'm constantly battling algae. It sucks! I just bought some beneficial bacteria that fights algae though, hoping it works better than the stuff I'm using now that doesn't work unless I add more than I want to add also, I really want the roots to spread out instead of the light hitting them and causing problems. The smoke is AWESOME day time smoke! Holy potent, zoom zoom, I think that's why my old lady likes it, she'll to to work cleaning like a mad man after she smokes it lol

I hit day 42 with the glue ebb buckets today. They're doing OK, I think I'll beat my last yield but I don't think I'll hit the mark I wanted to. They're starting to fade a little which sucks because I'm taking them 10 weeks so it's a little early to fade. They're still greenish so I'll up the nutes a bit to see if that helps.


I'm at day 9ish with the glue sog. SOOOOOOO much better than the last!! They're already bigger than the last round was at harvest time, the canopy is 2x as thick and so much more healthy I think this run will be the best one yet. Just hope they don't get TOO big lol.


Here's the ghostrider at day 21. Buds are setting and I think the stretch is over. The canopy is pretty decent. Still showing the mag like deficiencies but it hasn't progressed which is good.


The spog91 looks beautiful, here's her


Again, I think the ghostrider are funky cuz it's their first run in my room and probably are just used to another environment, that's what I'm hoping anyway. The next batch of clones are looking good now and growing much faster that the first batch.

The bad news. I think the glue nematodes or sickness or whatever the hell it is spread to 2 of my glue s1 babies, unless they were in the seed, I've heard it can go in seeds wtf, scary lol. But, it's always the glue that give me root problems and 3/4 glue s1 had their roots go brown and mushy while 1 is looking perfect. All of the plants look fairly healthy,so I'm not sure what to think. If it was something in my res, all of them would be showing the same issues, but that's not the case.. So I'm stumped. I cut off all the brown roots, now the tray is covered (could be algae attacking them? No idea) so I'll see what happens. I'm realizing it's been the glues that give me root problems. Then the Spog 91 got the same issue after months.. It's a head scratcher but that's why I got rid of the glue and I really really hope the s1s pull through. It's really driving me crazy because 1 whole batch of glue will all get messed up, then the next after I clone myself grow roots fine and rock out. Ugh

Wow bro, 100 gallons is heaps, totally understand why you don't wash any more!!

Looking amazing as always bro! Sucks balls though, to hear of your root problems again. I wish I could help with some advice best of luck getting on top of it mate!

 

[AlphaPhase]

Wow bro, 100 gallons is heaps, totally understand why you don't wash any more!!

Totally bro, it's too much to handle! Some time I'd like to get a huge garbage can and a fee bottles of really good enzymes so I can soak the used ones for a month to eat up all the dead roots and make them clean. It's just that the enzymes that work well for dead roots are so expensive and it's cheaper to buy new hydroton at the moment, or need practical. But I hate not recycling them so someday I'll start for sure

Thanks bro, and tell me about it! I wish I could just figure out exactly what the issue is and have an exact cure for it! Ugh, it's stressful.

Here's the healthy plant and roots




Here's what the rest look like, all are in the same system, so it's something attacking the other plants I think but hasn't made its way to the good plant. I'd say pythium, but it can't be as all would be screwed up by now this pic was after I cleaned the roots off but here's the roots in the pic. The plant itself looks OK but definitely not as vibrant as the other good one and I can tell there's more issues to come. I think this is just the beginning

Totally get it bro, I'd be doing the same

Man, that is totally whack what's happening. Can you up the bennies maybe? Only thing I had thought of was pythium too but as you said, it would affect all of them.....sorry I can't help mate, really wish I could. The girls are still looking good though mate, the happy one looks a lot better though. Those S1's are pimping mate

 

[adower]

Thad def looks like root rot. Sucks man. I hate trying to narrow down problems ghat only show in certain plants. It's like guess and check.

No bueno on the roots. I been using ur same bennies. Did your roots look better with h2o2? Or try the cloner chlorine solution?
