What's new

SSHZ does B2ACG's Roswell Code and Honey Fried Banana's........

Some quick notes too.........

Maintaining about a 420 ppm at 6.3 in regular Pro-Mix. Nothing added to that. I'll add some pure soap on and off in waterings to help the promix stay loose (no compacting). This mix tends to harden over time and much of the watering goes off to the sides and out the pots. The soap helps the water become more "slippery" and run thru the promix more easily.

As usual, using the Botanicare Pure Blend Pro, r.o. water, General Hydoponics pH up and down, and various manufacturers's Cal/Mag. I've already added the yellow sticky gnat traps to the soil and I'll have to think about what I will spray them with just before budding begins.

Otherwise, the Roswell Codes would have become VERY large if I had let them.............I've removed a lot of small branches and large leaves from this side of the room. The Honey Fried Bananas (here after abbreviated to HFB) are smaller in stature. I did not top this crop, let's see how short the Gravita can keep them.

i just sprouted a couple HFB, i look forward to hearing how you like it.

.

they all look great man, the RC look like some solid bushes!
 
Go back, look at the HFB and notice in the row closest to you- 2 distinct pheno's. One with a single main cola, the others that naturally have multiple tops with no topping. I didn't top for any reason other than laziness...........but it's rare to show themselves so early on.

I'm also not pushing these light wise either- I'm keeping the led's at a safe distance, to ward off any yellowing from light bleaching.
 
These homemade gummies will put you on your ass.........my only complaint is they act as an antihistamine, and dry me out terribly. But it's a small price to pay......... I started with 28 oz of coconut oil double boiled with 4.5 oz of pot (4 different strains) for 4 hours.

Makes sense.....

"Marijuana gummies can cause dry mouth (cottonmouth) because the THC in them interacts with cannabinoid receptors in the salivary glands, reducing saliva production. This interaction, rather than dehydration, is the primary reason for the dry mouth sensation."

Soap? in your Promix? I add perlite to prevent compacting up to 40% but only in the last pot or it makes transplanting awkward. What kind of soap do you use? That just sounds scary to me, I know knot about it.
 
"Dr. Bronner's Castile Soap is an effective insecticidal spray for garden pests like aphids, whiteflies, mealybugs, and spider mites." It can also be watered into pots.........at a rate of 2 tablespoons per pint of water.

Soap should not be more than 2% of the total solution....with that, you'll be fine adding it. Above that %, issues could happen and you could degrade the medium and change the balance in the soil.

When you say your around 420 ppm is that promag and nutrients. Been following your grows for a while now and my grows have improved 200% just wish i would have found your journals a few years sooner. Thanks for sharing

I use Safer’s but not intentionally in the soil. Overspray always occurs. 👊
 
Promix doesn't add anything to the ppm of the soil, after the first 10 day when the initial fertilizer charge is used up. The ppm is solely from the grow/bloom fertilizer and Cal/Mag. Actually the starting r.o. water has about 30 ppm in it too..........

Safers and the castile soap are basically the same thing and work by smothering the insects so they can't breath.
