thanks for the explaination flowa.. im growing my pebblex in a phototron. The phototron has all T-5s! I wonder if im allergic to the anocyanins. I had severe hives on my wrists from this plant while playing with her a while back.. since then I wear long gloves and now don't ever take her out of the phototron..... another strain that caused this allergic reaction was a delicious cottoncandy.. which also might have had high counts of the anocyanins. Have you ever gotten rash or hives from mj?

It's strange that you say this, but i do believe this is due to the chemical makeup of the particular species, all plants change their metabolites differently and can be excreted from the leaves tips and stems surface, more likely where the humid zones are, like say under a human armpit would be similar to that of a node or joint on a branch. The nutrients taken up by the plant change their structure as they get metabolized some turn into sugars, some turn into acids. Some of these acids can be sensitive against our skin especially if the ph of the given zone is odd. So yes in theory its possible to get a reaction such as you said like hives, I often get agitated if my arms brush the inner stems, something to do with the chemicals released by the plant i'm almost positive. This happens in organics/synthetic as its a byproduct as the plant produces sugars. Having a healthy nutrient system will minimize agitation, PH adjusters can be EXTREMELY sensitive to the point of even touching the bottles can prove hazardous as the dry salts are ok..... until they become wet. Or have them combine.... on the skin..... its nasty stuff, and i try to steer away from ph adjusters.
Im going to start calling you Professor Flowamasta
I'd love to sit down and have a bong and rack your brain man, you have a wealth of knowledge in that head of yours! And who said pot makes you stupid...people who have never tried it that's who
Damn that Dutch dark chocolate sounds bloody good too, those cookies would taste awesome
lol! Just after all my babble just then hehe! sometimes we have to look at other plants to see what goes on, like stinging nettles, or catnip... or Aloe Vera
they all have a unique way of changing natures elements to create vastly different compounds!!
i always love to read, and get stuck reading things with my OCD, and i cannot put a book down until i've read what i've set out to read! or i get anxious
i have to keep reading and reading, it gets faster and faster until i've finished and then its almost like a relief and my brain just soaks it up
LOL damn that sounded kinda sick.... I didn't learn from going to school thats for sure. I didn't want to know what the teachers knew, i wanted to know what the teachers who tell the teachers what to teach.....
Pot makes people stupid...
.. lol yeah, we all know thats a whoopie of a lie! i had a mate recently who i haven't seen in some time, never really like erb much, and said to me, "i can tell you don't smoke that shit, you can tell who does they just look like stoners" !!!!! I thought, you sad, uninformed simple norm. He had no idea i was bent out of my brain that very moment. Did i say anything? I was far too high to even care what he had to say, not for being rude, but for his blind attitude.
Those choc cookies are going fast!!! what happened last night nobody knows!??
Hey Flowa, I hope this isn't a question that you've gotten umpteen times already... but how coarse should the perlite be? I see that there's a #3 that's about 1 cm in diameter and #4 is about 2 cm I think. Does it matter much?
I was thinking of putting a porous fabric bag inside of a plastic bucket, with the inner bag holding the perlite. I'd prop the bag up on a bed of hydroton to let all the water drain out the bottom into the plastic bucket. Everything else will be the same as your system. See any problems with that? (The bag is called a "Smart Pot".)
The more fine the perlite is the more water it will hod, the less frequently you may water it. Its fine either way, i like it coarse to stop stuff coming through the lines.
I wouldn't use a porous fabric, as you need something inert to chemicals and not clog up eventually. Material may work at first, but you don't want ANY issues down the track. A large synthetic fishing net or something like that would suffice. In my opinion anyway
but probably expensive. i cant believe they are hard to get on ebay
Back to the 'Flo'gram
