Currently on my 1st time... Tryin it outside till I get my own place. When I get my own place I figure I will know enough and experience to grow indoor and actually be successful at it.
i got one for you, and yes thank you for your offering of help in the growing of goodness.
I will be attempting to pollinate a plant for the first time. I am in the beggining of the third week of flowering, and have just now been able to start collecting pollen from the male plant.
I have twisty tied little containers under the maleflowers so the pollen falls into the containers.
my question to you is.....
is this an affective method of pollen collecting or would you recceomend something else.
Also what would be the best method for pollinating the female with a miniml number of seeds. (i would hope for around 50 ideally) as to not sacrafice too much yield and potency
does it work? then yes its effective...are there better methods...maybe do some research
choose a lower bud paint some pollen on the bud/s of choic(be careful not to get that stuff everywhere cuz its easy to blow around.....after that spray down your whole plant with water except the buds u pollinted...try and cover the buds with plastic and some bread ties so the pollen doesnt go very where for about a week...youll notice the hairs turn brown thats who u know its been pollinated
here is one for you.
this sprouted on the 7th of march and has been growing 24/0 from sprout under a 400w h.p.s.(GROWLUX LAMP). its planted in 60% top soil and 40% perlite.it had no nutes for the first 2 weeks then i started with 1/3 strength nutes(n.p.k. 24-8-16) due to their quick development and have only fed them once untill today.i transplanted all my plants last night and watered/fed them again today with 1/4 strength nutes to be safe.
the ph of my top soil is 6.5 but the water i used with my feed today had a ph of 7.8 so i dont undersand why 1hr after watering i tested my moist medium with my ph tester and it shows a ph of 6.3???????.
i thought soil with a ph of 6.5 after watering with water thats 7.8 ph should have lifted my soil reading closer to 7.0 ph??????.
the lower leaves are yellow showing a nitro defficiency but i think i am playing it safe with the nutes due to the age of the plant and would expect to see dark green if i had over done it on the nitrogen.could the cause of the yellow lower leaves just be normal(dyeing off) as it seems a lot of the plants feed is going into the new growth witch is nice and healthy and growing extremely fast and bushy as apposed to other parts of the plant(i.e height).
(new nodes just seem to keep appearing and growing daily).
have a look at the pics(all the same plant) and let me know what you think.
they are also very bushy with about 7mm between the nodes.i take it its because they are on 24/0 and the lamp maybe a bit close?????.
THANKS.

Organic im an earth juice fan because it works for me (Id add some earth worm castings to the soil its a lil weak in the N area)pics....................
what n.p.k nutes do you recommend for vegging or is it wise to change nutes at this stage or keep with it untill i switch to my organic flowering nutes(not trash).

are you saying my plants are sparce on nitro and to add some worm castings????? or are you reffering to your earth juice and your situation????.Organic im an earth juice fan because it works for me (Id add some earth worm castings to the soil its a lil weak in the N area)
Synthetic Fox Farms grow big. It will burn ya shit up so be ez with it
these are just opinions find what works 4 u better
there is no salt or sodium chloride in my miracle grow according to the content information on the packaging.I hate to tell you but your Ph meter is trash, as are your nutes..
The stick meters are not that percise..If you have to use it last resort don't ever leave it in your soil..
Also let's say your tap water is at 8, so Lets say your using 5 gallons of water I will usually almost every time be safe adding 60 ml of apple cider vingear to adjust it wher I need it to be 6.2 or so...
But you really need to test your run off, which is the water that runs out of the bottom.
General hydroponics makes a cheap ph tester kit goolge it you'll find it..
And yeah you water and run off will differ,
Second your mircale garden food is almost all salt...
Your ph will be great changed after you put it in your water
