    Saving some old mothers

    I was in Mineapolis back when stuff like Acapulco Gold and Panama Red was available every now and then. Couple times Columbian which was my fav. Bricks of hash we called Green Death. Good times. JD

    1 good plant. 1 bad.. same nutes..

    Hey Ice, That's an improvement...very dark still. On your first shot...the WW...looked a little Mg deficient to me. I know you're already giving some...but Widows are serious Mg hogs. Grew that strain straight for two years. JD

    Saving some old mothers

    Hey I have a defense...both strains were seedbank errors. Ordered regular and got fems. That was the Single seed center...and once I notified them...they made it right. Solid company...and mistakes happen. Free seeds, so, I grew them. And good on you, for making fem seeds for your friends, JD

    I just moved away from Fem seeds. I ran into that micro-seed popping issue with some fems. Besides I prefer to make my own. JD

    Saving some old mothers

    I'm an old timer too 8...I was staying in a little trailer park when I first moved to Cali almost 50 years ago. The owner approached me one day and said...here's a seed for you...Columbian. He had saved a single bagseed and now it was mine. lol Built a little greenhouse behind my trailer and...

    Help - Need tips on adding supports to 5x5 upper frame

    I was thinking of something along those lines. Does it all come apart? Could you buy some pvc plumping pipe...schedule 40 so it's plenty strong...and slip that on top of existing beams? Appropriate size...as small as possible. Not a tent guy. JD

    Saving some old mothers

    Hi instg8ter, Nice score from your buddy. Unlike Curious, I do keep clone Mommas usually. I'm having to shut down for awhile and am currently flowering all my Moms. But normally I keep 3 or 4 and try and keep them Bonsai-ed as much as possible. Root trims, severe pruning and always cutting...

    Whats wrong with this one

    Didn't you just say you were going to stop the kelp and molasses? Your plants don't need it and it's messing with your ph...and you added more? JD

    Whats wrong with this one

    Yes FFOF can be pretty hot all alone. You can see from the shade of the green...that she's getting enough N...but at the upper limit. It wouldn't take to much to burn your plants now...so careful what you add. And I third the motion to up-pot. JD

    Fragile back at it. DIY RDWC with the things.

    Oh and @Just Be Sure we could start a Waterfarm club...or at least a little group conversation. There's you and me and Dr. Ambertrichome I'm sure there are more. I'm going to be really busy for a little while...but we can talk about it later. Be nice to pick some brains. Cheers guys, JD

    Never done soil? I was always afraid of hydro. Years ago...a friend bought a hydro kit. He hadn't a clue, and of course killed the plants. So that was my first exposure...never had soil grows do that. But later...when the Dutch dudes started doing sog...I had to try it. Loved small plant...

    Hey Fragile, Sorry it took so long to find your thread...guess my timing has been off. Boy...you DWC guys have loads of plumbing to do. I once made an entire set up large bucket ebb and flow. 12buckets and diy controller...and I was so disappointed with the performance that I bought a couple...

    Identified two plants, male and female. How do I pollinate?

    There ya go...xtsho posted a good link. The males mature faster then the females...so you may have to sit on the male a bit...waiting till you have a bud that's developed enough. I always wait...seems to me it's not such a good idea to pollinate a super young bud with just a few pistils. Post...

    Identified two plants, male and female. How do I pollinate?

    Ya...me too. Heavily seeded buds will lose yield obviously...but if you just pollinate a single lower branch...no effect at all. I'm an old guy and most of the great sativas we got in the 60s...was seeded. JD

    Identified two plants, male and female. How do I pollinate?

    Nah,,,once the male starts shedding pollen...it;ll travel through the air. But like when I'm doing an entire room...done once or twice...I just pick up the male and knock it around a bit. But if you only want a few seeds...keep the male separate...once it starts shedding pollen...collect...

    Where should i go from here

    Sam, Let me describe how that works. Ca is carried by the plants fluid uptake. A common situation that occurs might be a plant is in a hot room transpiring like crazy...and the grower dumps a really strong feed. The food is sucked with the water straight to the top of the plant where it...
