For me, 3 dousings with "greenCleaner", I followed directions and hit it once then 4 to 5 days later then 7 days after that, first time 2 ozs per gallon, then one oz per gallon, worked but expensive shit. I paid $45 for 8 oz bottle. Appears to be safe...
OK awesome! I have heard of the green cleaner, old stage green cleaner I think it was called. I'll pick some of that up now since I've heard others have awesome success with that too. Does seem expensive but to save a crop it's just pennies :)

Happy trichome Tuesday!

So with the new mj laws that California just passed, it seems a lot of things will be changing over the course of a couple years. It's going to be expensive as hell to get all the ducks in a row to grow commercially now, and since that is the only way to abide by the new laws, (a patient can no longer vend their buds to dispensaries) is getting a growing license, a transportation license and a couple other licenses, to do things legit.

At first I was pretty bummed about it because it will cost a lot of $ to set up a grow with all the proper framework in place.. But them my uncle got ahold of me and wants to invest in me and help me do what I need to do :D I'm so fucking stoked because it would take me forever to save up to be able to do it on my own. #blessed :D

Yes, very interesting laws, it will be fun (not) to see how it all unfolds, cant imagine Butte and Tehama county to name a few going down without a fight. I think I read that medical mj would mostly be free ( Ha! Ha!). Should be min of three dispensaries in Chico.

For sure hippy, definitely some interesting laws. I would LOVE for Tehama and Butte to have dispensaries, that would be a gift for many!!

They will be getting tough on doctors that give out mj recs though, so if people don't have a real medical issue, they are kind of screwed until the recreational law passes. But I mean that is good in a way I guess , I really need it, and it's easy for me to get a rec regardless, so that will be fine. And the new laws will not change anything for the personal med grower (which is freaking awesome!) so not many people have to worry, especially the true patients. :) I just want to be able to provide for patients access to clean, good meds, because as we know, too many people cut corners and who knows what's in the meds by the time the patient gets them, so I think the new laws are great in the aspect


Here's the new sour power OG x Chem 91 mama at 7 days in the cloner, she's such a beast,!!! God I am loving this one, such a vigorous girl. I need one more t5 which sucks because I didn't want to add anymore lights, but II need to keep mama's around so I need to set up the other flood trays. It never ends lol. But I just love this plant so much it'll be worth it. It's one of the few strains that never shows a sign of stress between cutting and flowering. It's always green. It grows fast and it has great flowers. Bug props to karma genetics for the sour power OG cross, even if it wasn't worked, you can just tell the genetics used are topnotch for an f1. The Chem is just old school and adds that extra kick it needed for yield :)

AP whats your experience with Karmas 24k White Gold? Going to run a 5 pck and see whats popping so to speak. They will go down in the morning along with a 10 pck Dr Who, 2 Blue Dream, 2 Wonder Woman, & a Critical 2.0+ Auto. Any experiences with her appreciated

She's a light feeder. Doesn't like a lot of N in flower and just a bit more calmag than normal. Much less N or she will claw, maybe 1.2ec max in flower. The pheno I had was OG, not very tangy and made some of the strongest concentrates I've had. Extremely frosty and nice colors.

Another pog18 Nanner. That makes 2. Not bad but not good, not sure if I'll keep it though the bud looks so damn good now. I'm sure it would have no male parts next grow that's more dialed in but not sure.

My ppm has been going up daily due to rw in the smart pots (that's my hunch). It rises from 900ppm to 1000ppm over night. PH stable. All plants look fine, so it's not over feeding for the most part. Everything in 100% hydroton maintains a stable pH and ppm, so I'm stumped. Then again, the pH and ppm was stable in the flood tray using rw and hydroton and smart pots so I have no idea. Also the ppm and pH is stable in the other ebb buckets with the gdp. It's just the gg4 everytime that has been having the ppm issues, it's happend 2/3 grows so maybe it's just that they are still sick but not showing sickness visually. I will have to figure it out, but the next 2 grows with the gg4 are the last as I'll be switching to another strain,, most likely the Spog91 and mendo breath. II didn't keep aclone of the mendo breath, I flowered the whole plant and instead of taking a cut, if I like it, I'll be picking up a tray of them.

She is a beaut! I got another #18..... I missed her flavor badly! I did encounter a nanner or two, but it was mostly environment and after running her for a couple years, I only produced beans once. ATB!
Awesome! Great info to know bro, I will run her again :) the smell is fairly faint on mine but occasionally she starts to stink, it's weird lol. Sometimes I just can't get a smell from her then the next day she'll be wrecking havoc

@Aeroknow

I know you saw these today, but does this look wierd? I haven't seen the glue grow this stacked/ short before with the node space at like zero "? None have been topped but some how some of the lower branches on a bunch of them are going to become taller then the main top? Kinda tripping out about it, has this happened to you? Wtf is going on :p it's like a good thing technically but this plant isn't supposed to do that :confused:

Oh, I know now. I fucking just know. I had another epiphany. Seriously. It's my flood times and I just know it! All other strains are always 100% getting started with flooding every 4 hours. Now the glue, I always get lock out (purple stems and what looks like mag deficiency) every single damn time. I tried everything except lengthening the time between floods quite a bit. II know I've mentioned it, but I've never tried it for some reason because other plants need 4 hr floods.. Well, I just switched floods to every 6 hours with the newest two batches of glue, I just hope my new spog mama doesn't die, but I need to fix this issue with this strain.

I've read she is really picky with too much water, that would explain a lot of issues during veg with her. We will find out soon enough.

I think it's a t5 problem. I'm new to t5 and I'm guessing you do not need to flood as much because the light intensity is less than hid. Trial and error time.
