Just to wind the journal up, I brought the crop down last Monday (25-01-10). It was dry enough to jar-up this morning. Total weight: 10.9014 ounces. (Minus all the joints I smoked during the last month of the grow, and all the popcorn buds that went straight into the trim sack) The pickies are...

Hi Reidser :D 8 to 10 weeks on both strains. Hard to work out the production on the back four plants as it’s like the Amazon in there, and it’s hard to see as I don’t want to disturb things too much. Not sure I’d make it without a machete and a couple of local tribesman anywho.:chuck: Nice to...

I got some advise on flushing elsewhere Reidser. I think I'm OK there ;) Do my report as I'm here. 31-12-09 End of week 12. Week 7 of 12 x 12. Buds are putting on weight now, and bulking up nicely. They feel really dense and heavy for their size. Trichs are still clear, though the odd few...

Thanks Hamster :D And don't worry, I'm checking them daily. Nice to know it won't happen in a week though. They're still bulking-up.:yay:

I’m still here Reidser, (been checking your posts) just haven’t had much to report really, and I didn’t think there was a lot of interest. Growth upward has ceased and I’ve managed to pull things out of the fire. I’m just watching the buds fill out, and mature. I’m a little more hopeful about...

My trichs are all clear. How can I judge when it's time to flush? Got a 'rough' idea. A week... Two weeks?

17-12-09 End of week 10. Week 5 of 12 x 12. Changed nutes and added PK13/14: EC 1.1 Buds moving down stems and filling out. 24-12-09 End of week 11. Week 6 of 12 x 12. Buds fattening nicely. Flowers and leaves are beginning to glisten.:watchplant:

Hey Reidser. Well as Irish pointed out, there’s no need to rush out the door and buy one today. But like I said. If you’re planning to grow in the LONG TERM, you and your plants will love it! Water managment it sooooo much easier than with tap water. Plus the added benefit of no clinkers in your...

Specifically: "This causes nutritional elements to precipitate out of the solution and therefore become unavailable to your plants" Where do these ‘elements’ precipitate to? Not the bottom of my sump while I’m churning it round at 1800 litres per hour. If that’s what they mean by ‘precipitation’. :D

Thanks Don. :D A voice of reason.

7.2 is pretty neutral, but did you know that if the hardness in your tap water is the permanent type rather than the temporary type, it's fairly difficult to buffer and hold a low pH. Get Santa to bring you an RO unit if you plan to grow long term. You won’t regret it, and your tea and coffee...

I have an 1800 liter per hour continuous pump standing at a 45% angle in the corner of my 70 liter sump. I measure the pH after a feed, and if it's high I add one neat drop of pH down per point directly to the sump right behind the pump. It then gets nearly six hours to mix before the next feed...

Found this and wondered what growers here think? Reduce Your Concentration Hydroponic growers adjust the pH of their nutrient solution to around 5.8 to 6.2 – this provides the best accessibility to the widest range of nutritional elements. pH adjuster products are sold in grow shops in...

They look sweet Reidser :D Are you certain that your tap water is 5.0? That sounds very acidic for tap water. :eek: I'd invest in that digital meter and make sure! :watchplant: I'm onboard man. Hope it goes well for you. :cool2:

10-12-09 Well things have slowed down a little at last, though the situation is far from ideal. The grow is a bit of a mess really and I'm constantly moving things around. I was going to try getting along the sides and tying things off a little more tidily, but I think I'd do more harm than good...

Great info Hamster, thanks. I was thinking of using some Growers-Ark root tonic until first signs of flowering. What do you reckon? Also, I’ve treated myself to some GHE ferts. They recommend an EC of 1.8 to 2.2 for flowering & fruiting plants. That sounds too high for normal strains to me. Do...

This applies to me too, (minus the outdoor bit) I 'd also like to know what kind of nutrient regime is best suited to dwarf autos. I've just received the seeds for my next grow. Buddha White Dwarf & Lowryder #2. I believe they need a much lighter feed than standard plants, as well as fewer...

Thanks guys. I’ve wound back on both nutes and watering frequencies. I’m loath to do any cutting at this stage LF, but I will if things get any worse. Otherwise, I’ll accept my losses on my first grow, and hope I get enough product to see me through to the end of my second. I’ve learnt some very...

Can anyone advise me about growing under netting? Thinking I might have a go for my next grow. Does it work ok for MJ? My grow has got the better of me height wise. I’m certain it’s really going to cut my yield, and I’m finding it difficult to keep up with pulling plants around and tying the...

According to Einstein, the faster you grow, the slower time goes for you. Time isn’t relative to me though; I have my own wormhole. But as my zero point module is low on power, I had better order mine last week. Boy, am I glad it’s not a leap year. :bolt:
