CannaGranny’s Corner a Thread For General BS and Good Will On BudBuilders

MDK said:
Goodmorn granny you looking at your ppfd and DLI or just kinda using the plant to guide ya? Also I think Aqua said something about matching light intensity with nitrogen (not sure if it was N or not, but I think I recall some specific nute being needed when running real intense)

I had a small spider farmer and returned it because I didn't see it had no dimmer....did okay wasn't really blown away by it or the Samsung diodes but just my take on the small light

The Ladies are flat telling me they don’t like it. I agree I have seen a big uptake in both N and mag with these lights. That I can adjust, the leaf burn not so much.
Another thing I am noticing is the light from the Spider Farmer has a very yellow tint to it compared to the mars light. The mars light puts out a very bright white light.
I know some of it may be operator error, but I’m just darn disappointed!

I think its just learning the light your having problems with. In veg they don't need much. With full feed they get full power, with half feed 1/2 power???? I'm just throwing that out there. At 3 weeks in flower with my G3000 over my revegged auto at 24" away I'm at 65% and I'll bump it up after every feed increase.

Gifted seeds straight out of South Africa. This is the pure Durban line, unlike what Rosenthal brought in crossbred and called Durban Poison In the 80’s. While I agree it cut the hell out of the size, it also changed many things. Taste and smell being foremost.
This stuff in full flower literally smells like juicy fruit gum. Rosenthal‘s smells skunkier.

I’ve been bumping her up a little at a time. With my method I don’t feed the plant, I feed the soil and that amount decreases each week of bloom. I do veg under the spider farmer veg lights. Now, those things rock!

Not to disrupt the flow of the conversation, but I notice people are still voting for which strain CG should grow.

Haole Moonshine voters: give it up! Red Dragon Stash -- the obvious choice of clear-thinking potheads -- won fair and square. No stuffing the ballot box, Boaty McBoatface Style.

Hey now I look today and moonshine is ahead !

Mornin Mosh!
These went fast! I’ll slip upstairs in a bit and dig through my seed bag and see what, if any of them I have left. If I have any I would be happy to share! No trades needed, right now I’m drowning in seeds that I will more than likely literally give away! You interested in any reg seeds?

Sorry to hear that my friend. Hope things got better and that today is a brighter day for ya. When shit hits the fan for me(especially when chronic pain related) if I don't distract the committee in my head I'm fked. I go straight to youtube, grab headphones, and listen to motivational speakers from the past and present. Channel is below. Might help somebody else someday 🤗


 
Yeah the more white is more appealing to our eyes it contains more green and blue spectrum better for veg and last week of finishing. The 3000-3500k yellowish is more red leaning a bit better suited to flower.

We have to be very mindful of the DLI indoors as they get peak intensity for 18+ hrs unlike outdoor. So as @Pipecarver saod keeping the intensity low especially in veg with linger hours is a must. Light stress will burn and stunt plants. Too little is far better than to much.

Demand for N, Ca Mg and K also increase this is because of the demand on photosynthetic rates and the photo morphology of the plants under different spectrums. When you change spectrums you will often see a difference in demands in terms of concentration and ratios.

Doing this organically requires a much bigger container size than with synthetics because you are relying on microbes to break down enough nutrients for the plants. A larger volumes means more.

Thanks coco, daily struggle. Economy definitely doesn't help the outlook anything that could help has doubled or tripled in price ya know. Motivational speaking may be the only thing affordable that can talk me off this ledge I'm on. Thanks dude.

Hey Mister, you get yourself down offa that ledge right now and come smoke some weed with da Granny!
This is all temporary bullshit, keep that in mind. All of us are struggling economically at this point. There is a movement going on to make us all feel hopeless and depressed. A war won without a shot being fired. Well Feck that!
Now, I’m rolling up a phattie you bring the Dr Pepper and let’s do this day! 🥰

Ha thank you. I like the way you put it, a movement to make us feel hope less and depressed, nailed it there. I guess when everyone was happily accepting their pay raise they forgot to look at how the scum on top we're going to take it all back and then some.

I should have been born in a different era. How is it that any man should have say over me? Or you? Or anyone! The more I realize everything the govt touches turns to mold the more I feel like govt is not needed. I would have been happier in the wild west for sure lol

What they trying to do, 3-foul you? There must be some sort of retribution. Some sort of future Bday party plans for them that get diverted last minute. Shock the shit out of em and then have something even better planned but they must pay. Not sure what kinda sicky you are but I can tell you one thing, I believe actual licorice root to chew on is a miraculous cure for chest congestion

I actually heard about a scientific study on this. Basically said that things that we consider bad habits like biting fingernails or picking your nose actually is really good for your immune system because you constantly introduce low levels of bacteria for your body to fight off which leads to your body knowing how to fight off a wide variety of sicknesses.

Morning Sensei CG🥋🥰

Oh lawd, I tried out my matchmaking abilities. In light of all the success I had setting up @Shaded with the neighbors wife, I decided to try it again. I believe I’m just going to stick with growing weed!
My friend is a retired rocket scientist for Boeing. He NEVER shuts up..last night he stayed red in the face and was very quiet. Who is this man?
The woman also a friend of mine that never shuts up was also not herself and was rather quiet. The remaining five of us enjoyed a fantastic evening. Front porch sitting, smoking da ganja, a cook out. Was a great evening! Wish ya was here!

I get it! I’m pretty sure I would have made an xlent Annie Oakley type! 😂
Just take a good look at the mental assault going on around us. Media is constantly spewing gloom and doom. The economy has gone to shit, I don’t give a damn what the news reports, we all feel it. In every single aspect. The cost of groceries, fuel, utilities. It’s hurting us all. Those of us that worked our asses off and have a retirement are left to defend it daily with them taking more and more from us that has been taxed and paid for a hundred times over. When was the last time you just saw a feel good story from the media? I swear to you it’s a ploy, it’s a plot and a plan straight out of a playbook.
Feck them people.
Now, let’s have a smoke and a big fat icy Dr Pepper! 🥰

I was super disappointed with the dispensary in Warrenton! They had very very little inventory. Cheapest thing running was a 175.00 untrimmed ounce! No name, just an untrimmed ounce. WTF is an untrimmed oz?
I’ll be back in Warrenton, July 6th for a shoot. How far from there are you?
