Fear and Loathing in Las Phoenix

[Coco Lopez]

You've always had this. Didn't need any help from me. You know enough to be able to go from seed to harvest. You just need a little more trial and error and a few more harvests under your belt to be confident in dealing with flare ups. When everything is going good all you need to know is how to feed. When things go south is where you get to prove your mettle.

Truth be told we all learn in different ways and what helps for some doesn't for others. Someone else had said I looked clear to flip as well but I was hesitant because of how I felt the plants were doing. Had you not said to go for it I wouldn't have flipped yet and therefore wouldn't have 8 different strains showing pre-flowers today Some of yall help and don't know it. For instance if you don't know what to do with your fan leaves, try this

Yo yo brutha man! Im glad to see you on here. I got banned from the other site too, the dude emailed me all nasty calling people backstabbers. Like mfer I have no idea what you talkin bout, but I dont like the attitude. I should be free to be on whatever site I want to, same with all of us.

Also...I cant see your vids man. Dont know why, but I bet the girls are looking good. Im starting week 2 of flower for my girls so were just a lil bit ahead of you! My strains are all 9-10 weeks so its gonna be a long one . Looking forward to it, me and you flowering our asses off on other sides of the country! Fk yeah!!! Do you have anything vegging currently? I just cloned my double fish breath

 

[ZombieRider]

I did manage to hear that African guitar in your vid, I fricken love that music so chill. Ive been listening to this album lately, random and pretty fire imo. Also, im still rocking GH, but will ALSO be doing a Cannagranny run asap. Ive just been too busy to risk learning a new grow style rn so Im sticking to whats been workin lol. Goal is to go to organic cuz its gotta be healthier than just straight salts. Also curious if the roots secreting the enzymes to break down nutrients causes to plants to grow better somehow. In salts they dont secrete those enzymes cuz we feed em straight nutes. Its all about the roots man, the Rhizosphere is where the real magic happens.

@ZombieRider you get the audio from the vid but no screen? Can you help me understand so I can look into it?

Yo yo! Yeah dude the fact that some random dude calls me a backstabber for literally doing no backstabbing is a big red flag. Oh well, ce la vie, and looks like most of the cool peeps are on here so Im glad I didnt lost contact like Ninjadip (poor dude, someone should try and reach out to him and get him on here he is cool).

And yeah dude im in week 2, the bolt is on hard! Its cool though cuz I am growing 2 Candyclysms from Rado and dude one of the two has TOTALLY indica morphology vs the sativa looking other pheno. So i got lucky and got two phenotypical variations on this one, super stoked to see what comes of them.

Your rocking 8 strains?! Hell yeah! I remember you telling me the list but i forgot it was 8. Thats so cool bro you will for sure be able to do some phenohunting with that amount. The way your plants are looking man they are gonna do really well, which i hear helps the plants fully express themselves.

I do have a journal on here, I'll link it to ya. Im gonna start to add more stuff to my journals, like things im working on and thinking about with the plants. Lately i have been messing with the NPK ratios and really trying to dial in my salt grows, fun and I can use some input cuz Im kinda flying by the seat of my bike shorts.

Do you have anything vegging? I got my re-vegged Double Fish breath just getting huge in my veg tent. My first keeper. I didng veg her very long first run, but what little flower i got is the best stuff ive grown by far. Next time in gonna do an entire 5x5 scrog with JUST double fish breath .
Anyway good to have the gang back on here to shoot the crap with. Have a radical day bud!

 

[ZombieRider]

Here is my double fish breath in case y'all dont remember. Its funny cuz i randomly clicked on Jewnetix cuz the name was funny and it turns out the dude is cool and is breeding the fire. I took a risk and was rewarded. Also got a Lit farms velvet moon freebie with it too so it was a fricken cool series of events. Heritage seedbank is the 's knees.

I don't know why yet, but if you use chrome I expect the video will work.

Good stuff Moe. For now at least Firefox is still bein a biatch. I can now see when using Chrome though thanks. Will just use that for meow on.

Yo brotha Z. Hah what a douche-alot-apuss. Talk about narcissistic tendencies. I will stab everyone by banning them with no explanation then call them the backstabbers
Yeah I hear ya about Ninja. I could have sworn I had his contact info offline somehow because I sent him beans and he sent me some Black Domina beans and some wicked homemade thc suckers. I believe he has been banned and may not know how to get here. I checked my side and can't find how to reach out to him

And yeah dude im in week 2, the bolt is on hard! Its cool though cuz I am growing 2 Candyclysms from Rado and dude one of the two has TOTALLY indica morphology vs the sativa looking other pheno. So i got lucky and got two phenotypical variations on this one, super stoked to see what comes of them.

Oh snap. Sounds dirt nasty for sure. So you ran 2 beans of same strain and they are presenting totally different traits?

Your rocking 8 strains?! Hell yeah! I remember you telling me the list but i forgot it was 8. Thats so cool bro you will for sure be able to do some phenohunting with that amount. The way your plants are looking man they are gonna do really well, which i hear helps the plants fully express themselves.

Yah mon pulled a YOLO and the beans were stacken up so said let's roll. Can't say they have seemed all that healthy till now but am hoping I've caught what was wrong. Thinkin letting PH go unchecked caught me off-guard but now I'm making sure I am not out of line. Last feeding just ended up 6.5 on it's own and today was 6.7ish

I do have a journal on here, I'll link it to ya. Im gonna start to add more stuff to my journals, like things im working on and thinking about with the plants. Lately i have been messing with the NPK ratios and really trying to dial in my salt grows, fun and I can use some input cuz Im kinda flying by the seat of my bike shorts.

Hah I will find it and sub foshow

Nothing vegging cause no room. Just 4 each in my 2 x 4x4s. If I don't take a break after this run I have a pretty good plan though. I have 20g living soil fabrics and could run 1 in each tent OR 2 if feeling frisky but leaning on 1 plant per tent, for solo to 3g to 20g and just really focus on quality.

 

[Coco Lopez]

ok try to tell me I'm not batshit crazy without telling me Think I've lost my damn mind

Tilled the top 3ish inches of soil for a while. Gave all girl 5tbl mushroom compost, 3tbl EWC, a 1c good soil cause it is all I had left

Per Gallon, fed 2L from top and 1L bottom. About 2 turkey basters of bottom-fed didn't soak up so I placed on top. Full drench has definitely been obtained

2ml Power Si Bloom
.6ml Mammoth P
3ml Cal-mag
3ml Molasses
9ml AN Big Bud

Cond - 1305
TDS - 950
PH 6.7

Defintiely interested in any feedback about what I should have done or shouldn't.

The ladies are now on an amazon echo loops of a playlist "Music for Plants' all containing different 432hz "Healing" music. As far as losing my damn mind part, I think I will let the video speak for itself I think I can feel the energy change in the room, or maybe I am just not high enough, yet

The 1st video is how anal I am about the 2 cups of compost tea soaking in

The 2nd is me seeing if electroculture is possibly legit

My Guy!!! Beautiful!!

I'm thinking maybe one of the issues you've been having is you stressing over your plants. I'm a firm believer that plants can read what you are feeling. If you're all stressed out over them they think something is wrong. Do it long enough and they get plant PTSD. This run you've been pretty chill throughout and your girls are reflecting that spirit!!

Probably just a bunch of mumbo jumbo broscience but when I visit the girls I always try and do it when I'm in a good mood. It's never failed me yet!!!!

Be like GNick and throw on some cool tunes and hang with your girls while you preen on them. Like going to the beauty shop!!! When you've cleared away all the dead leaves, pruned and fed them you stand back and look at how pretty your girls look. They know what you're thinking and they love it!!!!

Bonus to all this is by hanging with your girls you'll give them a temporary boost of CO2 especially if you're singing along to the music or talking to them!!!!

Thanks Moe and I hope you are on to something. Have quite some time left to veer off course though so surely can't get complacent. Have a few things to work out but hopefully I will pull it together. Can't really picture wth I will do come time to harvest but I will figure it out.

yeahhhh about those speakers. On a scale of 1-10 I am working with roughly 1.28 tops. Have an amazon echo dot on top of one of the tents(Alexa THAT WHORE!) hah she can't hear me here that I play music to the plants with and is usually what you hear in any video I post. The Zepplin video above though I tripped, fell and turned up my cheap external desktop pc speakers and whelp, yeah I just listened and oooof yeah thanks for the heads up

What it be brosef Roots? Thanks my man and they seem to be comin along. I agree with ya and I also try not to stress around the ladies. I'm even trying to channel positive vibe energies we can't see such as sounds and electroculture. I just removed my sticky traps cause I'm tired of looking at them. Also done as peace offering to the harmony Gods

Play shit like this from YT on loop to them while they sleep or on Alexa I have a "music for plants" playlist. Heck I like the vibes as well so why not. I'm a believer in frequencies be healing and such and if it don't hurt then why not.

As for CO2, yeah I am in the room with them a good 6-8hrs a day and maybe 25% the tent is open. If not open both have flaps open, and the tents are connected by 1 8" tube, but I have no other intake except opening the flaps.

As for being more chill, this is my current vibe as I read your post. You rock man thanks

You far from late my brotha and always great to see ya. I'm not even 2 weeks into flower yet so have quite a ways to go. Hopefully I can stay the course a frikkin grow and harvest something not so embarrassing.

What's good in your hood? Lemme know if have a journal goin so I can oO and Ahh along with ya

 

[Shaded]

I was wondering who tf this @Coco Lopez dude was, good to see ya round PT!

edit: still reading through as I have time, but you do NOT want to bottom water exclusively in my wizardpinion. Remember you are TOP DRESSING your plants to feed, and you want some of the water to be mixing/activating with the amendments up top as you water. I'm not sure if bottom watering exclusively would provide the same activation?

haha yeah I sensed that and have missed ya man. Thought maybe the CCP was threatening you. I knew though was simply matter of time until you'd get pushed into using the Ancient spell of the Go F Yoself

And nonono I for sure have been wise at least imo about watering. Would be nice if was ok to always bottom feed cause so simple but I know it isn't the way. I simply found that combining it "some" times with top feeding, really helped achieve what seemed optimal saturation. I've had them wick up 1L x 2, maybe 3 times tops the entire grow. The rest was all super slow from the top and always when top dress or compost tea. Spray top soil a bit with yucca water and wait. Then I hit them with 1L each from the top. Then I repeat after 15-20 min. They usually seem to like 3/4-1G at a time. Any run off, which is never too much, I just turkey baste up to the top. Any time I had run-off sit in container more than 20 min I shop vac it out.

Should have clued in to the bella avatar with the funny hat nah no KGB I was just on a minor hiatus from forums or most life activities in general. With all the recent drama going on my joy for posting was sapped away anyways and we had lost some really good contributors.

Sounds good brotha I just read a post on the first page or so where you were considering bottom watering exclusively, I have no idea what convos transpired after that! Good to see you're getting a grasp on it though. Each 7gal pot of mine is getting about 4-4.5 liters of water every 2 days so that's right in line with your 1 gallon. At this point I don't even stress about the runoff I just know that they can handle half of my watering can

It is time for my mixture of bloom nutes. How much gypsum to add to 5 gal pot? And I don't have too much epsom salt that I know is ok for plants but have a ton that is for the bath. You can't assume it is ok to give just because it is ES right? Pretty sure bath stuff has some things added. Maybe eucalyptus or some shit. Below was what I was in the process of doing. Could really use advice about if anything I'm about to do is a nono.

Today is 17 days into Flower. Was going to top dress today and water in tomorrow. Only cause gave mild watering on satruday

2c Dr Earths Flower Girl 3-9-4 (12lb for $36 ordered through Ace Hardware)
2tbs mr wigglers EWC
Gypsum x ?
Epsom x ?
1.5c compost I got from local organic place called Singh Meadows. Bought 100lb sack for $18

Look for epsom with nothing added… usually any pharmacy. 1gram per gal and i use 2 gram per gal for the last week or 2.

Gypsum i feel is beneficial for soil structure but quicklime maybe more beneficial?

2 cups might be a little much for a 5 gallon - that's what I was giving my 7 gallons.

I would do like 1-1.5 cups per 5 gallon of the 3-9-4
1-2 cups of EWC
2-3 tbspn of Gypsum & Epsom
1 cup compost (don't know how hot this stuff is)


+1 to @Aqua Man on the Epsom Salt. Plain unscented is what you want.

Quicklime (Calcium Oxide) - Mintek Resources

mintekresources.com

Looks like it would def work to cover Cal but haven't used it myself so rely on Aqua for amounts
