Old thread but seems like a lot of confusion....CIRCADIAN RHYTHM, is the main culprit....YES, plant relax AFTER lights go out, but for those doing it PRIOR to lights going out, is a result of Circadian rhythm....They ADAPT to their cycle....for example, those who had run a veg cycle of 20hrs for...

I have to agree with you opinion about it being an under rated cheese cross...Its the Camarillo that probably defined the perfect union with a good Cheese cutting...Someone had a good plan.....Put on the drool bag...LOL....I tell you what, I always put all my buds in 1qt mason jars, at 1oz a...

After decades of hunting for the best of the best, you realize its not so much the NAME applied to a strain, but the individuals you MIGHT find that are worthy......You may find a GEM in a groups of seeds listed as 17% THC that CRUSHES the quality of any you find in a group listed as 24%THC (or...

Not growing it any more but was for about 2 yrs....friend has my cutting of it now...I'm always searching for a new amazing pheno of something.....I LOVE IT.....Super smell, complex, colorful, RESINOUS....Buzz from the one I kept was almost psychodelic, and distorted reality.....hard to explain...

I have actually discontinued my air stones....I had a family member as an apprentice for a cpl years, and was using air stones because I had a hard time stopping excessive watering....finally on board about watering practice, I discontinued the stones....I had advocated them to newer growers...

QUALITY NUTES, QUALITY NUTES, ETC,ETC.....I use the Dyna Gro line......A single use quality nute, Is all they need to thrive.......NONE OF THESE, SNAKE-OIL ADDATIVES, EVERYONE SAYS YOUR PLANTS NEED....They ARE NOT necessary.....Chose a good nute, LEARN IT, top water, and ALLOW some righteous...

The down spout is a great way to FLUSH the 'internal reservoir'....I have very small holes with rubber stoppers at the bottom side of each bucket....As a sanity check, and at any time, I can pull a rubber stopper to check how the internal rez's are behaving.....It VERY possible for pH to drift...

Flush IS required only the last 3-4 waterings for a typical drain to waste system....Providing you fed them properly along the way, its all thats needed to clean out any residual nuted in the medium...In the mean time, the clean up from the inside, any residuals...If they didnt have a bunch...

Hey Mick, I run 20% vermiculite in with 80% Perlite...THE ONLY reason I add the Vermiculite, is so I dont have to water frequently that 1st week or 10 days...In fact, that 20% allows me to go 3 days btwn water, AND ultimately get a larger root ball.....And 20% vermiculite is WAY not enuf to...

Gr865...yours is NICE and stable....mine behaves more like Mick...Early in veg, I will water at about 5.5 AND IT WILL drift up into the low 6's...then when the plants are late veg and thru flower, it MUCH more stable....I've been using tap water for decades, and most of the pH values are like...

Took the clear plastic solo cup domes off of my cuttings last night...It was day 10 since I had taken them......I took them the 2nd day of flower....So the main crop still has about 7.5-8 weeks till I can transplant these cuttings into there.....Gives you some idea of how much time I have to...

Really sounds like you already figured out the solution of letting it sit for a bit....I'm guessing your water is alkali and all its doing (with a light solution) is buffering back toward the waters alkali values....I'll bet when your plants are bigger and your mixing higher ppm values, it will...

I'm cheap and old school...I use white vinegar for a downer (its organic and 5% acidic), and I use bicarbonate (baking soda) for an upper....Has served me well for DECADES....Both very inexpensive and work great..... But that has nothing to do with your issue of course....Should be able to...

One more thing...After determining what your water starting pH is, are you adjusting it after adding nutes, and prior to use... Figure out starting water pH, then what it is after adding nutes, and how is that be adjusted prior to use...YT

Why is watering 4 times a day?....what is the water pH starting #?... Also, AFTER your 4 waterings, when it testing at 7.0ph, what is the ppm....I get a quarter strength is light, but if there is a moderate increase in ppms after 4 waterings, that could change the pH.... A light solution can be...

Here's my opinion about it....Once INERT mediums, grow rocks, wool, etc, have been rinsed and are currently in use, IT SHOULD NOT, really be contributing to that problem...If I had to guess, your starting water is of a more alkali nature....Mixes typically like to buffer a little BACK TOWARD the...

Sorry for late response, but Peyote Critical is a Barney's Farm creations...Peyote Purple x Critical Kush...I found another pic of a bud from my 1st grow of Peyote Critical....Really is a pretty strain....Think I mentioned in a previous post, that mine have all the calyx's turn purple...I HAD...

In a more detailed answer about prunning plants into mini bushes, I tell you what I do.....the 1st topping works best btwn the 3-4 nodes whether its from seed or cutting....A cutting may have alternating nodes, so just chose an spot that is generally 3-4 nodes up...Not an exact science....as...

Put in my High Pressure Sodium bulb ealier (veg under a M.Halide)...Its day 10 of flower....2 of the 6 plants get too tall if I swap to HPS in under 10 days of flower...Included a pic of whats ABOVE the garden...Very basic and standard set up....exhaust fan moving old stale air into the attic...

My veg time is approx 3 weeks.....I take my cuttings off the plants in the closet the day I Induce flower....This gives me 8 weeks until I need them....Of course the first cpl weeks, there is no growth since they are rooting...I start mine in 8oz styro coffee cups....About 4 weeks after taking...
