Well the neon girl needed water this evening so I bumped up the cal-mag to 10ml/gal, see if I can build the buffer.

Not really sure how long it will take. Here are my thoughts on how to accelerate the roots diving. I'd water twice a day (I'm guessing a qt will be enough to start) Water just under the footprint of the plant canopy. As the plants grow and spread increase water area to match. This isn't...

I've been having some issues with my 1st coco run. I'm fighting a CA deficiency, I just can't seem to build up the buffer in the coco. And I don't want to over hammer them and create a lockout, that would be the proverbial from bad to worse. I'm using roots organic brick coco. I used ph 6 with...

I remember the dynagro now. It's a good all in one fert. 20" is a tad too tall from what I've seen, I tried standard 5gal before and it seemed to take too long for the roots to hit the rez. Next run you could take a utility knife and cut em' down to the 12 to 14" range. Hang in there and be...

Hi smoothness, please don't think I'm hating on you, because I'd like to see you succeed. But here's my thoughts on your grow. First the 7 1/2 gal trash can is way to large. If your container is over 14" tall you are extending the root setting time way too much, which isn't efficient. When you...

It doesn't seem to hurt anything, I've done it several times but it will leave a layer of sludge in the bottom of the bucket. It does bug me so I always (almost) pre-rinse new perlite. That's why I like to recycle. After a end of grow rinse you end up with the best grade of perlite. All the...

I've used dynamite. I can't remember if it was the red or purple, I do know it was a 13-13-13, and I didn't think it was organic. So I might not have used the same product. The one I used worked well, and seemed to work better than the osmocote in hi temps. But in the end I get better results...

Thank you for your input, it helps alot. If you are not familiar with a hempy bucket I can see where it is real confusing. Hempy buckets have no holes in the bottom for drainage, they have a single hole on the side of the bucket 2" up from the bottom which creates a small rez for a passive hydro...

Daylight through the window is enough to finish the boy. There are many ways to collect pollen. I like this method the best.

Your male has at least 2wks to go. It will not make it in a vase that long. If you want F2 seed just put the pot in another area once the sacs separate & swell. Let them do their thing. Then chop the male at the ground, mist the girl a few times and put her back in with the other girls. Once...

There is enough pollen on 1 male to fertilize everything in the county you live in. But it can be controlled. The branch method that ru4r34 brought up will work, if the sacs are right at the verge of releasing, and from what I've seen there is one pod of sacs that is ahead of the others on the...

Well my girls are not getting any better. Can someone WHO IS NOT USING COCO specific nutes tell me what is the normal amount of cal-mag they add to their water??? Please. My plants really look like they have a micro nute def, with the newest growth being effected. These photos were taken 2...

All perlite will work. I haven't used the verm in a long time. But I do put a soil cap on my buckets. It's a great base for surface roots, keeps the perlite from trying to float, keeps the light off the perlite and is a great moisture meter. A layer of Hydroton on top of the perlite will do the...

The best white blues guitarist you've never heard of Mr Roy Buchanan, The Dead Kennedy's opened for Roy in 85 before the end of Roy's opening solo all the rooster heads were crowding the stage to watch this man play. and of course Al di Meola I've got a slight live music obsession...

Your forgot Jimmy Herring

If you are only watering every 3 days and draining most of your rez in this same period, then I think you have hit the sweet spot. I personally don't want to water everyday. It looks like your in coco. What is your nute choice and at what level are you feeding. It looks to me that you've found...

Hey there gerogyboy, the girls look really nice. Another wk...wk and 1/2 to go I'm guessing. Tell me please is that Mr. It lookin' girl a papaya? Also which medium did you like more, the coco or the perlite? I just changed to coco this run, and lets just say it isn't working out.

Thanks, I'll keep that in mind. My water is deficient in CA, so I'll have to add some, but I think 1/2 to 1ml/gal would be better than 5ml/gal After my post I ran a few gals of ph'ed tap through all the buckets. 12 hrs into lights they looked way over watered, something I've never seen using...

This is my 1st coco run, and I'm have a problem that just popped up when I transplanted into 3gal coco hempy bucket. Here's the setup - plants vegged 5wks in 3qts Basement Mix (Coco based soil substitute, vegg's better than FFoF) topped twice very healthy. Nutes; 1 tbsp Osmocote Plus in 3qt...

The 5 new plants in the last post are my 1st run of the Maui crosses. That with a Big Island Thunder male. The vigor and strength of these new plants are really good, the plant #3 pheno (lower right in photo) looks to be pretty special, it has an amazing scent already and has started to build...
