You are starting to sound like me!

I can see the problem going veg

It's bumming me out for sure! It looks like they might make it, I'm keeping an eye on them, tad bit limp still but not dead at least and thanks bro! A little bit of brandy will help me through today, and hey, knowledge is power and I know not to do this again even though it was the fastest veg I've had in my life lol

seems to me if you could veg in the same tub you flower would be optimum right?

Funny...i have both the gh maxi gonna do the all bloom formula. Seen some good stuff and only 1 fert! Btw happy late bday! Sucks about the veg table!!! I knowwwwww you didn't want to lose any roots. Did you cut them? Probably wont shock them as much as tugging them

Same here man, I just transferred the mendo breath to the tray and used just maxibloom, no calmag and am trying out 550ppm. I've been getting way too much p and k deficiencies on young clones when I use maxigro, not sure why yet, but if this works I'll be using mostly maxibloom for veg, would be so easy keeping it that simple I tugged the roots I was having a tantrum after I saw what was going on lol thanks for the bday wishes

You are starting to sound like me!

Lol! Its always all good until it goes bad!

You got it bro, that's my dream set up, trays on rolling casters. Veg in trays and roll the tray to the flower room! That'll be the way I'll be doing it once I get a house where I can have the veg and flower room in the same building, it would make things go so much smoother!

Rolling trays that would be fantastic

I just started using lucas formula with the bloom. This may help a tad!

Hell yeah man, that's some valuable info right there and makes 100% sense what's been going on with my cuts! 50/50 seems like it should help boost p and k

I made decision tonight. I'm not going to keep an unhealthy cut ever again. Cutting my losses with the glue s1. It's not something I can fix, it's just sick seeds that came from sick cuts. Either that or they are extremely susceptible to disease, I don't know. Not a strain for me or my garden ever again.. Nothing I can do so it's time to move on. I am getting the exact same bs the glue was showing on them, so no more messing around garbage can.

Will have to pick up new cuts next week, not sure what yet, but something new. Stay tuned.

On a good note. This is a plant I need. A plant that grows 2 feet in 4 weeks, you can cut the roots 50% off, and they are still mediocre under 2k of light. Strong like fucking bull.

 

[Macmac124]

I also use beneficial bacteria. Since you're doing bubble buckets you'll NEED to do sterile or a beneficial res. I use hydroguard, pondzyme and microbial algae clean. These products fight off disease such as root rot. I recommend it over keeping the res sterile using products like bleach of Dutch master zone.

Bleach like Clorox

I have a jar of pond zyme I tried it before when I tried dwc in the summer and one of my hoes got root rot but it didn't seem to work for me so I threw her in soil what the dosage you use that shit comes with a scooper but it says a 50 gallon s a scoop or something high like that how can I use bleach

 

[papapayne]

Dang man stop in an hear bad news! That's not what I want to hear when I came thru. That fuckin sucks man. Hope they bounce back with a vengence.

So good to see your girls kicking back into gear man, they'll be sweet now
No good about the glue s1's though mate, at least there's plenty of other strains out there to choose from

 

[AlphaPhase]

Yeah, uncented. I'd advice getting a chlorine Meter so you know exactly how much you're using, too little = no enough to hold off root rot, too much bad for plants.

Pond zyme would be Hella hard to dose in a small reservoir, I use 1 tsp for 50 gallons when I mix a new res up and then 1/2 tsp every 2x a week. You'd need to use something like hydroguard with the pond zyme.

Dang man stop in an hear bad news! That's not what I want to hear when I came thru. That fuckin sucks man. Hope they bounce back with a vengence.

Shit can happen Hella fast bro! Lol, it's ok though, they are still alive I have some new cuts coming tomorrow, cherry pie, gsc, and dosido I think, so it's all good

For sure bro, I'm picking up some dank cuts tomorrow, totally forgot about the cuts I gave Aeroknow a few months ago, he's got some cuts for me now

Good shit brother, sounds like another dank run coming

I started using physan 20 today to clean equipment. I must say, it smells great! I soaked my hydroton in it and will be reusing the hydroton for the first time in a while. I got all the big roots out but there's still some small root particles here and there, hoping the pond zyme takes care of that

Going to start the rooted cuttings a little differently.

I'm starting out at a pH of 5.5 and a ppm of 400 or .6ec of just maxibloom- will be flooding every 8 hours to start. Hoping for good results since I burned the shit out of my mendo breath lol.

I really think ppm has to do with what ppm the cuttings were getting, the mama plants they came from and other variables, I can start my cuttings at 700 ppm usually with out issues, but when I got the cuts from the dispensary, 700 burned them bad. I also think it has something to do with them probably using organic nutes and I'm using synthetic.

Will find out soon as I changed the res for the mendo to the above mentioned dosage and began foliar feeding for now

So many problems, so little time lol


A few month cured kushberry bud weighing in at a perfect 1/4oz

 

[eastcoastmo]

Damn, that's a nice looking budzilla
Hey bro, have you got any tips for trimming? Your buds always look so perfectly manicured and I'm wondering if you do anything in particular, like trimming after a few days hanging etc..cheers man

I chop the plants down, take off all the big fan leaves or anything that has a stem (unless it's hella frosty) then hang up the whole plant until it's almost dry, when the leaves are dry and the buds are slightly spongy, I mean slightly! If it's too wet =no good, feeling like the squishyness of a gummy bear I think is best, not wet enough that it smushes in but not dry enough that it crumbles or doesn't squish at all, you want some resistance when squeezing the bud when you're checking them and don't want it to just squeeze together and stay like that. Depending on Temps and humidity in the room, I like 63-69f and 59-62%rh, it takes around 5-7 days at these Temps. Then it's ready to trim the sugar leaves I just use scissors and chop chop

Sweet man, cheers for the info, sounds like a good plan
Do you keep the sugar leaves for hash? I'm keen to make some edibles this round...

No problem at all bro! It's so much easier trimming when the buds are dry. Use the middle of the scissor blades, like your hedging some bushes, it'll keep the scissors from chopping the buds and it'll chop the leaves close to the bud. I do keep the sugar leaves hell yeah! I make edibles and hash, well, first I make hash and then I make the edibles with the hash they come out more potent, more tasty and clean when you cook with hash instead of the trim itself, I'm about to have a cookie right now

Awesome bro, sounds like the way I should do it this time...nice looking buds and some good hash to go with it
The reason I was going to leave it wet was so I could slow cook it into some coconut oil and then use that instead of butter some brownies if you reckon using the hash is better, I will have to test it out ha ha. How do you make the hash if you don't mind me asking? I usually just do bubble...

You definitely want all of your trim dried for edibles, never wet. When it's wet it will be greener, chlorophyll and all the nasty stuff is at its peak but when it's dried all of that stuff breaks down itl taste much better. I don't think it affects potency at all either way though, but it comes out much better tasting. I make bubble hash with my bubble bags, I recently got a washing machine but used to make it by hand for the longest time. Once the hash is dry I use about 7grams of hash into a batch of cookies or oil for brownies they are strong but I like to use the same recipe for everything. If I make 14 cookies with 7-9 grams, that's about 1/2 gram of hash per cookie, pretty strong, but you don't have to eat the whole cookie
