Club 600

[Bobotrank]

Yeah, raining here today, too. Weird weather this year... usually never like this.

Yes, the cheddar is running strong still over here. Prolly 'bout ready to throw a little tent update in the 600 pretty soon. Have another run going right now that I'm doing some new stuff with in terms of pruning and the whatnot. Only about 2 weeks in, so next week will be the big prune week, but have gone ahead and lollipopped one up a bit and it's lookin' good so far. . .

enjoy that dog, dawg I'm back to work.

Aye, I read about your new techniques on Don's thread, hehe, "blame the dog" I heard it was called, lol.

The DOG is lovely thanks, just what my sore muscles need.

 

[bassman999]

Speaking of sore muscles....I have a patch on my back right side around the scapula that is numb. I mean it feels like my mouth after the dentist. I dont get it. Kinda burns at the same time.

If I may make a suggestion? Quit hanging out at the hydro store. There's more bs there than the noob thread.

I agree, there are quite a few ppl here on this thread that I would trust more than anyone the at the local grow shop for advice. I get some crazy off the wall conflicting advice there as well, and learned my lesson.
Just my .02

I read a whole thread back when I first joined about a grower who chopped her plants and then suspended them in bubbling water to cure. This way she said she basically fed right up until the end and then flushed. In theory it is fine (and also good for hydro plants maybe), you put cut flowers into water all the time and they survive for days. If you want to get really freaky cut a plant and put it into water with food colouring, get weird coloured buds, lol. Anyway, I digress as usual, I feel that this is all well and good, and yes, you could shake the dirt off and put that in a bucket, but WHY THE FUK bother. Just feed your plants up until the last week, couple of water feeds to flush em a bit, and then dry and cure properly. Or you could do a little dance in front of your plant, then stand on your head inducing extreme pressure to your eyes and possible migranes, then get back up and dance a bit more, then pull you plant out of the ground and swing it round your head like you just don't care...okay, just leave you plant to do it's thing, it'll be right.

was just some dude talkin out the side of his neck in no way would i try this if i wanted to do something with a plant and water i would just get a hydro set up lol hows the weather over ur garden got light mist and heavy rain here

 

[DST]

i hate it when someone in a hydro shop asks me what I am buying the thing I am buying it for, you just know they are going to pump you some bullshizz nutrient or some sort of advise about how you should be buying xyz. I quite like the one close to me as they are Dutchies and just sit and smoke fags, lol. Even when i went into the grow shop in glasgow back in the grey (Glasgrow it was called) the guy tried to sell me some alternative nute solution claiming that the A and B nutes I wanted where not even on the market anymore.

Iwould hate to see you kill yer plant after drowning it...lol
I have been watching the humidity and temp...clouds etc... no rain yet. Still hoping for the best.

 

[bassman999]

I was interested to figure out what rh was and difference between regualr humidity: here is what I found:

Relative humidity expresses how much of the energy available for evaporation has been used to "free" liquid water molecules from hteir neighbors. A relative humidity of 50% means half the available energy has been used to evaporate water from the ground, streams, lakes anywhere else it is and 50% is still available to do more evaporation.
Relative to What?

On a sticky summer morning the temperature may be 75°F and the relative humidity 90%, a very sticky morning indeed.

As the temperature rises during the day the amount of available energy increases. If by early afternoon the amount of available energy doubles (and it does in summer very often) Without changing the number of water vapor molelcules in the air the relative humidity drops to 45% BECAUSE THERE IS TWICE THE AMOUNT OF ENERGY AVAILABLE - REMEMBER RELATIVE HUMIDITY IS WHAT PERCENT OF AVAILABLE ENERGY HAS BEEN USED AND BECAUSE IT DOUBLED DURING THE DAY THE PERCENT USED IS HALF THE ORIGINAL! RELATIVE HUMIDITY IS RELATIVE TO WHAT .... RELATIVE TO THE AMOUNT OF ENERGY AVAILABLE TO DO THE WORK OF EVAPORATION. Because the amount of energy increased as the sun warmed the atmosphere the percentage of the energy available that was used decreased, i.e. the relative humidity, all the while there was no change in the amount of vapor in the air.
So when you hear someone say its feels worse than 52% relative humidity today, they do not understand the concept of RELATIVE HUMIDITY because 92°F and 52% is a very humid afternoon. Because the concept is confusing (even many TV meteorologists do not understand it) a better measuer is the dew point temperature.

Do the hokey pokey and you turn yourself around...
Thats what its all about. lol Thats what I thought about when I read the last sentence hahaha

Hydro stores are like mechanics. There are alot out there that leave a bad taste in your mouth. But then you find that diamond in the rough and you know you never have to go anywhere else ever again. It might take alot of time and money to find the good ones, but when you do it will end up saving you time and money. Ive got a really good relationship with my store, Ive voiced my opinions and knowledge and never fell on a deaf ear. They will do things for me that im sure most would never do, but i have been going to them for years. Ive had some really great debates there, and they have atleast 1 free class a month on any number of topics, the person giving the class is always a professional in the field....not one of the workers from the store.I learned about tissue culture propagation (sp?) at one of the classes, and got hands on training.....very cool way to keep a huge selection of strains going with little expense. The staff will give you info if you ask, but wont try to school you if you dont ask. I can go to AutoZone and buy brake pads without hearing about how upgraded calipers or rotors would really improve my ride, but if they wanted to explain it to me I wouldnt mind. You just need to have the sense to seperate the hypothetical from the factual.

But if you havent found your diamond in the rough have no fear. The 6 hundo is here. The knowledge contained in this thread is all you need. Thanks to all the heavy hitters on hear that share their experience and knowledge. DST especially for keeping the wind in these sails.
