Thanks man, there's some calmag whores in there I haven't taken care of yet, but all in all they've been some submissive ladies :) I have a new tray coming for them to play on next week so I can get then out of the tent (it gets so hot in there), I'd really like a t5 for them too
As you already figured out that CP is a food hog the more you give it the more it wants.
They are gorgeous as always. They don't mind heat my room can hit the low 90's at times
the just drink a little more.

:peace:

Is this because of DST and the cloner? I went through the same thing with Subcool and LEDs.

They both have a way of doing things that has become familiar and safe. When they step out of that safe zone it gets frustrating. Being a teacher is difficult. It requires an infinite amount of patience.

You are growing such amazing plants and contribute so much here I wish you wouldn't leave.

Safety break :bigjoint:

Cheers,
Mo

Thanks dudes, it's just at the point where it feels like I'm wasting breath trying to help people. Man, the last thread I was helping someone with an issue and told them on page 1 what to do. 6 weeks later they figure it out and did exactly what I said to do on page 1 haha. It takes me forever to type things out on my phone and I only will give advice about things I am 100% certain of. But, people do have their own ways of doing things I guess, it just really annoys the piss out of me when people deny what I am telling them. I've grown in hydro for a long time and I've used home made aerocloners before commercial bought cloners were even available lol. I ask many questions here, but never get answers, I give a lot of advice but most is over looked.

Anyways, this is how it goes when getting stem rot in cloners. Chlorine is used to prevent pathogens. When you start with a clean cloner and use preventive chlorine, pathogens can not live, or rather the little amount in the new cloner or water is so small it's killed instantly by the chlorine. The problem I think people are having is this. They are using their cloner thinking everything is OK, when in fact, bacteria is beginning and multiplying. Then when people see stem rot or the like, could be a month later, or 8 months, they think they can use x product and things will be OK. It doesn't work like that. Pathogens live in microscopic places and are a bitch. Prevention is key. Don't let it happen in the first place. You can't add a prevention after pathogens have already established. The preventative you would use now would be in such high dose it would kill your plant before it would kill the pathogens. I've tried telling everyone this since last year, many times. All you need for cloning is a sterilizing additive or a beneficial additive. No fancy water, no timers, not a damn thing, just tap water, your cloner and a sterilizer. That's step one from when you buy a cloner. Maybe it was over looked, but we are growers.. We need to absorb everything to be successful. I haven't seen too many questions being asked from anyone,(maybe newbs) until they already have a problem and they are trying to fix it fast. Not many people that I've seen here have tried to learn until something bad happens, until then everyone is a pro in their minds.

What happened to people wanting to learn more about their passion? Seems a lot of people just want to rush shit and skip steps. Everyone has a strong point in growing here I'm assuming, no? Taking advice from someone that knows a lot about something would be a good start to benefit a grower that doesn't have knowledge of x subject. I've mentioned so many useful things about cloning just in this thread (which not many people follow I assume) and the 600. people should be pros at cloning and never lose a clone. So this is my last helpful post. A video I made of how to properly boil and disinfect neoprene collars in a couple minutes. Good luck to everyone, hopefully people start learning again and stop being pros about subjects they are new to. I just don't have the patience anymore to repeat everything 100 times, this isn't directly towards anyone, just was the tipping point after going in circles with people here for a year. Anyways, hope this helps u out @DST . Later dudes. (I might pop into this thread occasionally. Safety meeting time :)

ATB to you, Alpha. I've enjoed your show while I was here. Sorry cats got to you, but that's how it goes on these public forums....you meet some great people as well as the occasional dick or two. That's why I don't say much...
Keep doin' what you do, and be safe! ATB!

Hey yall, this is where my train stops. I'm leaving riu for awhile. When I get pissed off being here more than the good stuff, well it's time to leave. Wishing everyone good vibes. Bon voyage and happy growing.

I couldn't like this one man! Very sad to see ya go, as I love stopping in here to see whats going on in your garden. Definitely can see the passion for the plant come thru, and that's always a lose to the community. but alas, you are a grown ass man, and need not explain any decision, so if this is what you need, I wish you luck my friend.

you are always welcome on my threads, and I hope to see you rocking again. In the mean time, Ill smoke a bowl of gorilla glue in your honor.

Stay free, stay high

Thanks dudes. Hope all is well with all of ya and your gardens are kicking ass :)

Not much new over my way, just same old same old.

I have a batch of gdp that will be coming down in 2 weeks or so and a batch of glue that hit flower a week ago. I'm finally giving the purple OG , cherry puff, kushberry and sour OG Chem their first run. The sour OG Chem has me really excited because it grows extremely well and perfectly, kind of like a trifoloate. Parallel nodes rather than alternating, which could be a great thing. We shall see.

I think the glue is back to being healthy again, not sure, but so far they are stretching like they should and aren't showing sick signs like before, except the strange small leaves again. But the leaves are a bit bigger this time so fingers crossed.

The purple OG is far left front and kushberry is far left back . Pog18 veges quick. That and the kushberry had 3 weeks veg while the gg4 had about 4.5, so it's a bit smaller but not by much. I really like it so far. The kushberry doesn't look like it will yield well with the short veg time, but it's smells like berries, so I'm hoping the smoke is OK. Cherry puff is far right middle and the sour OG Chem is far right back by the wall. They are in soil, along with another gg4 in soil on that side.

Got new mama's vegging and some gdp babies that were just put into veg the other day. After this batch I'll be running ghostrider or sherbert, haven't decided yet but I've got some time to think about it :p

Keep it real riu fam :)

Oh man, Alpha, very sad you felt you had to leave for a while. I may not post much in your threads but always check in every now and then, you have one of the cleanest systems and beautiful plants I've seen. The advice you give is always solid, I'm sorry people don't appreciate it, all the peeps in here do though!
Stay high man and try not to let the douchebags worry you :)
