Morning guys - I'm a bit pissed off - I got the liquid oxygen today. Surely this stuff should have a seal under the screw cap even milk cartons have a seal under the cap?? I unwound the tape they put around the top and because it was soaking wet which wasnt apparent straight away its splattered everywhere, in my face, shirt & hands!! Have I been ripped off? anyone else bought this stuff with just a kidprooof screw cap and no seal??
It doesn't have to have a foil/paper seal underneath the child proof cap but it certainly shouldn't be leaking.
Bottles of bleach usually only have a child proof cap but as they're both corrosive chemicals I'm pretty sure it would be illegal to supply one with a faulty cap or one that is leaking.

You could Google Growth Technology's addy and phone their customer service desk and ask them about how their products are sealed and they'll tell you straight so that way you know who is to blame.
I would take a photo of the taped up bottle and email it to the person you bought it off,and demand your money back regardless.

To be honest mate that liquid oxygen is a bit pointless as a product, why not just airstone your water if you want more oxygen to your roots?

You could take em to court for the new shirt, compensation for chem burns on your skin, the trauma of being splashed in he face by controlled corrosive chemicals.

You could proper milk it if you could be arsed.

What kind of bugs you got?

Fingerez is my kinda smoke, I flogged every gram of dog, its too strong for me,, an all day up smoke is me
Aye I think I need to partake in a bit of this 'Dog', everybody who's had a bit say's it packs a punch.

I have to admit when you mentioned the 'Dog x Fingerez' beans I had a little girly squeal, lol.

I reckon those 'QQ X Dog' could be good as well, you run any of those yet?

Yorkie, i agree with what you say about pot size, especially if you use air-pots, and also agree on the lower ec all way through, but i dont ph, and use 'instant' tap water, and the smelly fingerez i got going looks healthier than your run did....not a SINGLE leaf is damaged, she's around the same size you got yours too, and all this using wilko basic fert 4-5-8, no ph, and instant water always keeping ec under 1.8 (bearing in mind instant water is already @ 0.4-0.6). think I'm at week 3 flower, sure she's dated will update with the pics...

pics will come tonight, as i got 4 x gk x exo at week 7 flower and they look amazing, same with them, not a leaf has dropped.

Dunno if I can be arsed, it was only a t-shirt but I do have a stinging near one tear duct even after wash & shower! I've email Growth Tech. See what they have to say.

I got thrips as said earlier. and I get fruit flies - I can see the FF hanging about outside my shed waiting to get in :(
I think I've sorted the thrips by cutting off the bits that I could see them on.
JOKE :)

I over fed my Fingerez, I know I did. I fucked up and smashed her with a high EC of salts mid flower and didn't do anything about it.

If she's the same size as mine was I'd like to see that, she was quite big.

So saying that then if you did start to PH and use decent water you'd get even better results still! ;)
