So I made myself some CalPhos...

Well!
I hadn't thought that would happen, but I've just decided to use that CalPhos after all and did a foliar :mrgreen:
2016-10-06_d23-calphosfoliar (1).JPG

The Sour Stomper is standing at 20cm now and supposed to double in volume in the next days and I have this urge to give her something extra to help her with this tremendous effort.

Another Chlorophyll juice, or a sprouts smoothie (which I was thinking of giving her another one of just about now) is out of the question at the moment. I think I need to wait another few days before I water her again, especially since she started curling downwards on the bottom 4 fingers of two of her leaves (both on the same tier, started imperceptibly 3 days ago) - isn't that an overwatering thing?
Or something else?
I had fed a tomato shoot smoothie 5 days ago... oh and I did LST those leaves under the side shoots for 2 days (starting 3 days ago), but it can't be that?
Any ideas welcome!
No bugs btw.

Anyways, I figured the CalPhos foliar would be a good alternative - especially since she's exactly in the phase the CalPhos is meant for.

@420nstargazer in what intervals do you use the foliar on yours?
I'm thinking of sticking to the foliar for the next 2 weeks, but not sure how often I should apply it in that time
Cheers!

Haha thanks, will do :mrgreen:

Oh there's a whole bunch of really smart guys on here who have got their stuff going - just check out the ROLS or vermicomposting thread, they all drop by there sooner or later haha
I'm still very much in the ruminating phase (as you can see ;) ) and you're very welcome to join in the headscratching here haha

Yeah this journey is amazing, and while often puzzling, expands horizons and generates joy like nothing else!
To me, every minute spent on it is the best imaginable application of my time :rolleyes:
Cheers!:bigjoint:

Haha, sorry about the shock? :D
No worries, I don't tend to make a point of it ;)
I used to play online war games, and we used to get good laughs out of opponents cussing at me as if I were a guy, some hilarious situations there! After a while I got afraid I might grow a beard though (or balls or something LMAO) :bigjoint:

Eww..
Hah, ironically sausages/hotdogs, and processed meats I don't eat.
nitrates, nitrites, mystery meat..
Not to mention if I recall correctly I believe those types of meats were recently considered "unfit" for human consumption..
It's an expressway to colon cancer

Pineapple Express!
Here she is, at day 65 :)
2016-10-06_day65 (3).JPG
The structure is more visible now as I've removed a moderate amount of leaves that were either growing into each other between the colas or were browning up. Not sure, but this is my 2nd grow of PE and she doesn't seem to yellow up both times. So I'm putting this drying up signal down to senescence.
She's foxtailing, so I'm still saying 1-2 weeks :-P
Lovely pineapply smells too

que?
como se dice?

I had to look it up..
here, for the rest of the americans...
copy and paste from wiki..

A pissoir or vespasienne is a structure that provides support and screening of urinals in public space. It is a French invention common in Europe that allows for urination in public without the need for a toilet building. The availability of pissoirs is likely to reduce urination onto buildings, sidewalks, or streets.

Whew that was a close one! :mrgreen:
So I'm still freeeeee haha

But actually, you couldn't have known - it was an, er, "europeanism"? (I speak a few languages and they all call it pissoir)
So it slipped into my rusty English - I did mean urinal , my bad!

Either way it wouldn't matter - where I'm going there's a proper compost toilet haha

Yep that does give you a different frame of reference :)
I was thinking more along the lines of focus of attention, nicks (and gender for that matter) being secondary to the stuff we're talking about haha
