New to Bud builder's hello everyone

[GoodShit97]

Holy hot dayum!!

Made the right choice bringing you over!
Youve got some real talent man, its not everyday you see buds like that!

 

[Rootsruler]

Welcome to the show Brother!!!

 

[Star Dog]

Nice..how longs it taking the youngins to show sex on 12/12

Hello bud, on average 28 days from here.
5/10 day's vegging at 24 hrs, the 5/ 10 days is relevant to how they start, ideally I want them open and growing.


Thanks for the warm welcome everyone, it's nice community going here.

 

[Star Dog]

Earlier I didn't feel great I'm in A&E atm I'll catch up with you guys asap

 

[Max]

thats longer than I though…

thanks for that mate

Another of our members is having his seedlings tested for sex after 1 weeks growth I believe.

https://budbuilders.org/threads/tissue-testing.743/post-56616

He is just about to send in his second round.
His other thread;

That would be great to have the option of lab testing, I wouldn't not use fem seeds but I prefer regular given the option, my best phenos are from regular seeds but tbh idk if that's coincidental or not.

I'm on European side of the pond it's not entirely legal here especially if you get caught

 

[Max]

I’m in australia lol so I know how you feel that dna testing has smash cards you just squash a leaf into it and send it.
@freezeland is doing this..

 

[SiamSam]

Hey bud yes that's me.

I thought I better keep the name I use on Og, trying to revive a old username causes complications, I didn't give it a thought at time tbh.

Star Dog is an excellent name, we can call you anything you like as long as it isn't late for lunch.

 

[Ikilledit]

I use the same screen name everywhere. Just makes it easier.

 

[Pipecarver]

I don’t know. But I understand the question I’m just not up on your grow style.

@Pipecarver can you shed any light on autopot vs drain to waste?

@Star Dog can you post a pic of the dtw setup / salt buildup?

I'm not sure Moe, I'm a bit of a hack with the pots. I don't measure anything, I feed my nutes and leave the room. I don't take no stinking readings of nothing. I get salts building up on my pot socks but it doesn't seem to affect my plants. I'm in Promix and as Gnick said over at the farm we don't need to PH promix grows, the buffers in it take care of the PH for us.

I use the GH trio plus a few additives and I clean my tank every 3 weeks because biofilm build up and I don't see any salt residue in my trays,lines or res but the pot socks are white with it

The pots are supposed to be an ebb and flow system like trees on a river bank, I'm not sure how that relates to drain to waste.....wouldn't that be OB's style with his 196 solo cups in a 5x5 run?

Im in New York State and its not 100% legal here yet either.
Fekk the law is what i say!
We had a woman here who used to live by the saying "laws are more like guidelines."

I think if people are low key about it there's not much to worry about, why would the police pick a random house to search, it doesn't happen, only I can me caught so i act accordingly.

 

[Star Dog]

I got the all clear after some tests

 

[Star Dog]

thanks for that mate

I used to have pictures of every stage and anytime I done anything I'd snap a picture so looking back at times and dates was simple, I've ruined the phones with 95% of my pics on them so i can't do that now.

I'm going to look back on riu to see how long it used to take to reveal their sex.

I used to veg for 30 days ± then flip them, there's around 2 weeks before the onset of flowering but that's fem seeds.
With regular it might be longer to reveal their sex but faster into flower overall.

It's only in its infancy, I've only recently got enough info together to actually put it on to paper with a view to doing it perpetually.

I'm enjoying the ride, even if it doesn't work out as anticipated I'll learned something.

 

[Star Dog]

Hey folk's, has anyone tried grafting weed?

Bluchi with blueberry lemon shake up grafted to it.


I'm pretty stoked with it tbh.

It's a bit of a novelty but it was fun doing, I intend to make a tri or quad pheno mum but I've too many things happening atm.

When I flower it I'll be curious to see if grafting a poor yielding plant to heavy yielding root stock will improve the yeild?

Some plants just naturally have a brute root ball and some don't.

I've not made the connection with a big root = a heavy yeilder?
I'd like to weigh the roots to yeild ratio and whatnot but I'm just glad to get finished by that point in the grow.

So yeah it'll be interesting to see how it goes?

 

[MDK]

Is that a problem you think? There are reasons for that timer, it is set to default. But I can see the case for setting it for a longer time. Like I think default is 10 minutes but could set to 30?

Don't bother me really, depends who you'd ask I suppose....

Something I've always wondered, is there a way to privately work on a thread without publishing it so you could edit to your hearts desire then post it when it's finished? I had seen people reserving posts near the top of their thread but can't really do that when edit option is timed. I wouldn't remove the timer function. Not sure how you could reserve posts for later editing without contacting an admin....but atleast there are ways ya know.

Not sure how long it last but you can save drafts.

Just hit the little floppy disk in the upper right corner when making a response.
Again not sure how long it last.

Yo @Observer
Check this out

 

[Star Dog]

I didn't know a draft facility existed, it's a handy feature.

I've saved a draft but now I can't see how I open it again?

I've clicked on each icon but I can't find how to do it?

I've seen 7 different strains grafted to a singular mom

I've done this before but now something is up or I am lost?
Not the most tech savvy guy here at all. sorry.

 

[Star Dog]

A updated pic of my new blueberry pheno.
It's got potential to be a mother it ticks all the boxes.

The others, the pic was taken a few days ago.

That skunk smells lovely despite it appearance

Star Dog, you are not MiMedGrower reincarnated, are you? Do I know you by a different name perhaps?

Hey bud, no I’ve not went by that name I'm afraid.

Years ago it was CocoNut then Star Dog or Star_Dog ?

There was a guy in a past life that had grows that look exactly like yours. Just totally dialed in. A pleasure to watch happen.

 

[Star Dog]

I've grown for years but only briefly been online talking about it.
95% of my online activity has been in the last 3 years.

I absolutely love growing weed but couldn't talk to anyone about it, either I couldn't trust them or I knew they weren't interested and just didn't get it.

Fishing is another passion of mine

Sea trout fishing through the night is magical, the river Spey.

The sun was just coming over the horizon.

 

[moe.red]

Wow man, majestic.

From now on I will read what you write in my imagined best scottish brogue.

Over here in the states a fun way to fish is on the great lakes. I also love Colorado for trout. Fun to watch the bald eagles snatch fish out of the Mississippi right now. They nest by the hundreds right where the missouri and mississippi meet. About 30 minutes from me.

But for sheer tranquility, I think I'm picking your spot.

Thank you I appreciate you saying, I'll be starting seeds soon, I'll keep a diary on the grow.

Between cutting a plant down and trimming the lower shoots I all the all the materials for a grafting experiment.

2 different strains grafted into the root ball from the plant I cut down.

It failed but that's the way it goes, not having any foliage did concern me which was well founded.

 

[Star Dog]

I breifly mentioned that clones can be taken late into flower, this is a example.
If you watch how they progress you'll see my attraction to this method of cloning.

You've seen where the mums are at, the last thing I want is vigorous growing plants to maintain for the duration of flowering and drying to then put them in the bin if they're not great.

The length of time is to re veg can be used to our advantage depending on circumstances.

What are the goals of your grafting experiment? What does success look like?

So you have a tent set aside for reveging too? Trying to figure out your growspace. You probably said but i missed it. This is all stealth right? Not sure on your laws.

Yes I've a 3x2 clone tent with 4x t5s I keep mum's in and start seedlings and clones etc.

It's surprising what it can hold.

It comes with own problems but nothing major.

I'll be thinning them down to 4/5 mother's then just cloning from them but that'll be nearer the end of the year, I need to get through a selection of seeds 1st.

Sorry bud, there's no particular goal besides making a multi pheno mother, tbh it doesn't really serve any purpose im aware of.

I'm curious about changing the root stock affecting the yeild or bud size, I seen a thing on TV that went on about the root stock being responsible for the yeild, leaf abundance etc only that was apple's
Whit feckin apples!

 

[Star Dog]

Hey folk's, a while back I made a small capillary tray for my mother's.

I had all the odds n ends lying around to make it.
I never got around to installing it, so today I pulled it out' I'm going to put some plants on it.



I've wet the capillary matt and put some water in it, next I need to cut the sites from the cover.

The humidity has bee getting a bit high recently so I got drastic with the foliage and cut a few spares plants down.

The pic is terrible but you'll get the idea of what they were like before trimming.

This is how I left them, I'll pick it back up tomorrow.

Cheers

Is this single blade a reveg? Are you working your own lines?

Hey bud, yes it's re vegging, I like to take advantage of the re vegging time' that way if they're not great I've not invested any time and effort, I'm not working anything personally.

The plants are also bushy with lots of branching imo they're ideal for keeping the genetics...on ice
