I like seeds I was having herm issues but I’ve recently started using regs and not seen any herm traits I’ve sexed and only had true females …. every seed is different that’s the best part ….. below is a purple and a green pheno of a black cherry pie I grown from seed look identical but one is purple one is not bud size smell everything and the other is the local cheese that’s flying around

 

[Ghettogrower187]

Plants looks nice! Yeh always get regs mate, they seem to grow better weed than fems too, strange but from my experience that's what it's been like.

Is that in the glass tube type of thing ? I’ve seen a video before on it but I’ve never thought of doing it what is the returns like on 30g of larf and leaf ?

From some half decent trim I can get around 2-4G return.

Average ten percent return that’s good ain’t it might have to invest in one and a dab rig then

I’m by no means at expert at BHO production though lol.

another simple concentrate is QWISO which can be used in a dab rig also.

I get my rigs and parts etc from ROILBEEDAB on Instagram.

my last dab rig cost just £28 and came with a massive amount of extras such as silicon concentrate tubs, silicon mat, dab tool, flower bowl etc.

Anyone on here using Dry salts?

If so which ones are you using? And where from?

I’ve seen HYDROCROP, VEG AND BLOOM but from what I’m seeing both are fairly weak when it comes to dilution and you need quite a bit to pull up a decent EC.

anyone willing to share?

It’s Something I’m toying with trying but I cant find a decent and cheap source.

If you're making bho a vacuum/flask is the way to go, put your bud/trim in the flask put in the gas and put the lid on it.
There's no freezing hands, no butane escaping and no pressure build up from the butane.

Remember when evaporating the butane to do away from any source of ignition, a light switch or fridge thermostat etc kicking in can ignite it, butane is a heavy gas and can pool in lower areas so ensure there's adequate ventilation.

If you want/need more details on the method don't hesitate to ask.

I've not used it yet but about 6 months ago Ghs sent me a complimentary nutrient kit so in the very near future I'm planning to do a sbs with Canna V Greenhouse in my . autopot.

It'll be interesting if nothing else I'm planning on using the full monty on the test plants.

Ideally I’m looking for the people that GHS get their dry salts from before they repackage them lol.

I don't blame you it's a smart move imo, it cost me £12 quid for a 1ltr bottle of canna calmag, for 1kg of calcium chloride and 1kg of magnesium sulfate it cost about the same +/- £1 but will last 100s of times longer + it let's me treat calcium with calcium as opposed to treating calcium with magnesium + calcium.

I also picked up some pure mpk to give a try it only cost £3... I'll definitely be buying pure ingredients in future.

I’ve been using MKP.

100ml water dissolve 14g of MKP and you can use it at 1ml per litre to increase EC 0.1 each time.

Day 53 flower 10 more days til I can chop ….. on target to finish same time as the last run ….. scoping every day there is amber heads on some trichomes I know the sour banana and blue gelato are good smoke smell and taste at 63 days …… purples and pinks everywhere by day 63

I heard there bio versions meant to be half decent i aint tryed it myself but heard a few folk say they like it

How do you apply the Calcium Chloride?

 

[Star Dog]

How do you apply the Calcium Chloride?

I've not actually used it yet or worked out ppm/ec I'm still in early stages of veg.

Apparently like silicon it's best applied as a foliar feed, i don't like foliar feeding so I'll be putting it into the roots.

I am not a fan of foliar feeding either. I have had issues in the past that put me off.

My problem is that I am having a minor calcium deficiency on a few plants in the latter stages of flowering, which shouldn't be as they get more than enough calcium. I think I have figured out why it is happening, but I won't know if I am right until my next run. So I want something to go to if I need it.

I could just use CalMag, but I don't like that for a number of reasons. Mainly it is the price. Like you say I can get Epsom Salts in a huge bag for £1.99 and I can get enough calcium chloride for years for £9.99. My other problem with Calmag is it contains Nitrogen. I don't really want to be adding more Nitrogen in flower.

I have a friend who is a Chemist and he sees no reason why Calcium Chloride can't be applied to the roots as part of a mixed solution or as a top dress, the question he can't answer is how much? The best answer I can come up with is from a veg growers forum that suggests 5g per Imperial Gallon of water.

I was going to try and work back from calmag apparently it's approx 2-1 ratio so that would work out for me around 0.2ec.

I've not got it to hand atm but in the ghs bs there's a feed chart with recommended calcium ppm, I'll post the ghs ec/ppm figures later on today.

The reason I bought calcium chloride is because it can be applied to the roots, apparently its water soluble and suitable for nutrients.

Yer right to not foliar feed your just poisoning yourself really for no reason it dont matter if you organic or if your using chem nutrients in this regard it makes no difference your just making the plant store most of it as nitrosamines cos they can only use/process a little bit via foliar the rest they store in the form of nitrosamines and thats pretty nasty shit in my opinion i never foliar feed for that reason
