Blue Dream & God’s Gift grow.

[Ikilledit]

Sorry the feed was 1886. Sometimes my thoughts escape me.

 

[Ikilledit]

@ZombieRider I thought those ppm numbers were high also. What I’m gonna do tomorrow is only use the NPK and not the other supplements and see what that number is. Then I can average out what the others are adding. Even if I filtered my water that wouldn’t even make a dent in those numbers.

 

[Ikilledit]

So I took all the seeds that I have collected and tossed them. To much of a risk involved in growing something you have no idea where it came from. I only kept what I’ve bought.

 

[steamroller]

You did the right thing chopping it ASAP.
Right thing tossing unknown seeds IMO.
Plenty of good/great seeds can found among the members here.

I have the exact same thumb nail~!
Swing a hammer?

 

[GrumpAzz]

Then I noticed a small pistil coming out of it. I was relieved.

My first grow hermied on me. Several of the ballsacks I plucked had pistils coming out of them. I left those for a while, then decided to dissect one. It had nanners within and 2 pistils protruding from the sack. After that, I plucked anything small and round, pistil or not. I was in the tent tweezing balls for 30+ minutes, every night for at least a week, maybe 2.

Miraculously, no seeds in the 10oz I netted. I consider myself lucky.

Yeah man I do. Mostly swing a hatchet. Been roofing since I was 19 and I’m 49 about to be 50. Did a lot of framing in between. Construction is a Love Hate kinda job but I love the freedom and outdoors.

Putting in the work and it paid off. I’m in it for the long run as well. But if it presents itself to be a problem, timber. I’ll cut them down. No thinking, No hesitation and nothing to process.

Brother roofer~!
Turn 59 this month.
Roofing since last century~!

I recognized that nail, and really thought you had one of my pics~!

Brother from another mother. The nails are definitely a tell- tale sign. Not sure if I hit or someone else caused it .

 

[Ikilledit]

I did this back in 2015. We were on a 20’ walk board. Not even 8’ high. My side collapsed as I was reaching over to grab a shingle. When we hit the ground. My chest impacted my knee right as we hit the ground. Then the other 2 guys piled on top of me. It exploded the ball joint of my tibia. They call it a pilon fracture. Messed me up but only for a minute.



Did this a couple years ago with a fresh hook blade. I was cutting some synthetic felt in the wind. Didn’t even feel it. My brothers like Dude you’re bleeding. So I wrapped it up with blue ship towels and duct tape I had in my work trailer. Finished the day. Then got it sown up.

 

[ZombieRider]

Thanx for the compliment. I try to stay on top of thing. And yes the last feed was 1886 ppm. But I failed to mention I didn’t clean out the reservoir before hand. Not sure if that played a part buts it’s possible. Plus I didn’t check the feed ppm’s. Definitely going to that tomorrow. That way I know where my numbers are at. The plant look healthy. No real signs of anything. All the plants are eating the same. Drying out the same. They even look the same. Except some stretched more than others. Like you mentioned above. Genetics. I may have planted a Herm seed and got a Herm in return.

For sure check your feed ppm's, but since they are looking fine I bet you arent too far off from normal. Not cleaning out the res could definitely influence the ppm's as it's holding runoff and the liquids evaporate leaving it even more concentrated. I never check my runoff ec in coco, though Im thinking its different in soil?

I know the feeling....

You'll like this story.

Had a buddy that was an assistant to the Osbourne family(Yes, Ozzie). When Kelly was getting out of hand Sharon and Ozzie asked him to be her bodyguard and keep her out of trouble. As usual, she would sneak out and go clubbing. I think she was 13 or 14 at the time. They get back to the house around 4 a.m. and Kelly's drunk out of her mind and says she forgot her key. My buddy climbs up a trellis to get into her bedroom balcony so that Sharon and Ozzie wouldn't find out and as he's getting to the top he slips and falls off. Lands on his heels and shatters his shin bones, ankles, some of the foot bones and one of his knees.

When I'd go over to his place he'd show me all the titanium rods and pins that they had put in and removed. Last time I saw him, which was about 10 yrs ago, he was still walking with a cane.

I’ve been searching on line referencing those numbers. I found it’s not common

It’s definitely affects your walking. I see a cane in my future. Hopefully not for 20 more years. I ended up with nerve , ligament and tendon damage. Just thankful I can manage like I do.

Took some pics today. Going into week 4 of flower.

Pictures look different under the light verse above them.

 

[Rootsruler]

Gettin' thick in there.

 

[GoodShit97]

Jeez. Cant we have just one member that isnt all fucked up like the rest of us?
Seems weve all been through it or are currently dealing with it.

 

[Ikilledit]

More pics.

 

[Ikilledit]

Did my feed today. Just used my NPK & Cal/Mag to get my first numbers. PPM ’s were 1500. Didn’t take a measurement after adding Big Bud, Bud Candy and molasses. I knew they’d be around 1880 +. Big Bud will be out of the equation in another week. Run off was still off the charts. Forgot to clean one of the reservoirs before feeding. Oh well maybe next time.

Are you sure your meter is calibrated correctly? 1800 seems awfully high. If I feed my girls anything over 1200ppm they start to tip burn.

 

[Ikilledit]

I’m pretty sure. I have 2 meters. I calibrated both and had the same reading.I did some research on the seeds. Apparently they like a heavy feed, moist soil and Nitrogen all through the Grow stage. I read they can handle twice the nitrogen of any plant though out their entire grow up to harvest.With no adverse affects. But I cut 1 1/2 ml per liter out last week. Doesn’t seem to be effecting them. I have roots growing out the bottom of my pots. And they drink up that runoff like nothing. I thought maybe it’s evaporating. But it couldn’t be. It was gone yesterday in a few hours. I’m getting 3 cups of runoff per gallon maybe 4. If I water with the left overs. And it’s gone in no time. I don’t have a dehumidifier going. The Rh is 65 out side @ 37 degrees.

 

[Ikilledit]

Week 4 in finally here. The God’s Gift is starting to show some purples. The Blue Dream is full of pistils but no change yet. It’s getting exciting folks.

 

[Ikilledit]

Buds are looking sugary and smelling sweet.

 

[Ikilledit]

5 weeks in. It’s hump week. Plants are doing great. Started the overdrive. I did do a little defoliation yesterday after feeding. Temps dropped below zero outside so I had to kick up the heat. Dry heat from the heaters forced me to feed a day earlier. What can ya do. I do have one plant that’s showing some issues. Been battling with it for a while. Feed is the same as the others. Watering lights ect. The only thing I can come up with is that it may have a ph issue and some lock out. But I unfortunately left my ph pen on the floor and accidentally stepped on the tip and broke it. 150 bucks wasted. Story of my life. I did bump up the k being I’m heading into the final weeks of flower. Here’s some pics. Thanks for reading.



Here’s the plant in question.



This one has been showing some phosphorus issues

Most of the purplish color has been there but hasn’t gotten any worse. May make individual feed for these 2. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

 

[Ikilledit]

I’m hoping the GG will be done by 8 weeks but the BD is 9 to 10.

 

[GrumpAzz]

Killer crop. I'm glad you showed up.

Thank you. Glad to be here. Sometimes the more I think I know. The less I really know. Kinda hard to figure out what going on with plants.

I'm new to all this and I've learned so much here. Someone will chime in for sure. Some plants fade just fade, so maybe a different pheno? I don't know if that starts at 5 weeks though.

 

[Ikilledit]

Speaking of the plant in question. When I fed yesterday I did notice she wasn’t as dry as the rest. So I’m think ph issue, nute lockouts of some sort or even root issues. Her Buds seem to be forming ok.

You’re probably right. She does seem to be lagging behind some from the others. Maybe a mother plant trait or father who knows. I guess you always have that one stubborn one lol.

Yes. If all the plants are the same and one is wetter than the other then it means it's not pulling water as fast. I was going to say that it may just be a temporary slow down of that one plant but you said it's been doing this the whole grow.

Both of those plants seemed to be having a phosphorus issue at one point. That’s why I bumped it up to 12 ml per 2 liters. It seemed to help in slowing the leaf purpling. And some of the leaves are kinda old. But it’s moved up the 2 main tops. So could it be just old damage from the low phosphorus ? Definitely going to keep an eye on this.

Here is a thought. I use fox Farm soil too, albeit ocean forest. But what I have seen with premixed soils is it settles in the bags. Heavier particles to bottom of bag and lighter substrate at the top. If not dumped and thoroughly remixed prior to potting imbalances can occur. This could be what you are seeing in your troubled plant. Did you mix well before planting?

I mix soils [ very thoroughly ] but not each bag before I start.
I can see one more step to my preparation be added. Thanks.
I grow multiple strains all the time so it hard to pin things down especially if differences are between two that are the same strain.
I always think pheno [ easy enough to say and believe], but I do think you are correct about how soil is received. Settled.

I try to. I didn’t use ocean forest this time around. Just Happy Frog, perlite and some worm castings. Typically I’ll do 80/20 plus perlite and castings. But as I was writing this I was thinking. No I don’t dump the bags out and mix it before additional material.

I'm not so sure this is an issue that would have far reaching effects. A lot of outdoor growers will cut the top off the bag and plant the plant directly in the bag. No mixing of the soil.

I understand your logic but I'm not sure if enough separation occurs for it to be an issue.

I see it in ocean forest. All the light substrate is alway in the upper half of the bag seems like. So I have started dumping the bags and it mix the shit out of it in a large tote.

Yeah I hear ya on that. Never pre mixed before. Never even crossed my mind.

I can see that. Happens with perlite and the such.
