Observers' 2x4 Space

[Observer]

Could have been better, but could've been worse?
Idk i got all fkd up and lost in a snowstorm in the middle of Portland Maine. Thrown out of our Uber and didnt know where we were cause we only just moved there a few weeks prior.
This was new years so the lights and shit were wild and i was just tripping balls. Didnt like it.

Lmao

Goofball

You gotta be in you're room, safe, comfortable, to trip.

Yeah i dropped a few more times after that but it just gets to me
Mushrooms are more enjoyable imo

If I could grow em, definitely appreciate the shorter-duration.

Drip system has basically been a "failure" so far, adjustments needed, not even gettig the seeds to pop lmao.

Not using the drip system for now of course, handwatering till they're ready for a schedule I suppose.

Little learning curve on the rw but I'm figuring it out.

Just a air line in the bucket, bubbling. Is all, and a fuck ton of 34% h2o2


Does not take much water at all.

Just mLs.

 

[Observer]

Soaking cubes seems bad advice, unless you shake some WC out afterwards I suppose

Better to dip them in a solution for a few seconds.

My 2c, depends on the scenario to I suppose.

Wether clone or seed start

 

[Observer]

Algae likes the oxygen, but hypochlorous acid could/should take care of that

Cya later aligators

4 way of what?? SS

4 100ug LSD-25 Tabs that day.


got a N-N DMT cart today.


did you know a precursor to DMT is in our lungs?

learned that today.

 

[Observer]

this DMT shit is amazing, only done it a few other times.

Refreshed sounds good but your outside my ball park. I stopped at LSD and shrooms. Haven’t had either in decades.

As long as your safe and smart…

indeed

thanks man


fntastic.

 

[Observer]

Mutation or so

 

[Observer]

Getting more organized.

Probably should reset these RESs and do something else with this drip set up, taking their sweet time coming up

Unless I stalled em via dry out

Fuck around and Learn/experience/ try things with the 2x4 space.

Gonna get the 5x5 reset soon and do a "proper" grow.

Get back to breeding/cultivation and further educating my self, Growing.

One I snapped in half is still kickin.

Another kratky style cup, seeing what happens.

 

[Observer]

0.5 E.C
5.6 pH

[Observer]

Still cleaning and organizing the place

 

[Observer]

not had too much time for the plants, family comes first.

maybe tomorrow i can spend some more time with them and maybe do those RES changes.

just giving them mLs of Solution a few times a day, for now.

F1: The Hybrid Harmony

Imagine two contrasting cannabis strains, like a high-THC indica and a low-THC, mold-resistant sativa. When you crossbreed them, you get the F1 generation. These first-generation hybrids are like beautiful blends of their parents, often showcasing:

• Hybrid vigor: Boosted growth, yield, and resilience thanks to the combination of diverse genes.
• Unpredictable traits: A mix of parental characteristics, with some dominant and others recessive, making each F1 plant unique.

Think of it as a mosaic painting, where each tile represents a gene from either parent. The F1 generation is a vibrant masterpiece of genetic diversity, but like any art form, it requires further refinement.



F2: Unveiling the Hidden Colors

Now, let's breed those F1 beauties amongst themselves. This creates the F2 generation, where the genetic mask comes off, revealing the hidden recessive traits:

• Greater diversity: The F2 offspring exhibit a wider range of characteristics, showcasing all possible combinations of parental genes. Some might resemble grandparents, while others might display entirely new traits.
• Stabilization challenges: Finding plants with consistent, desirable traits becomes trickier due to the increased genetic variability.

Imagine the mosaic now – it's a kaleidoscope of colors and patterns, some familiar, some unexpected. While the F2 generation offers exciting possibilities, it requires careful selection and further breeding to isolate and stabilize desired traits.

F3: Honing the Masterpiece

By selecting the best F2 plants and breeding them again, you enter the F3 generation. This is where the real sculpting begins:

• Increased trait stability: With each generation, desirable traits become more fixed, allowing you to breed strains with predictable characteristics.
• Line development: You can start to establish stable "lines" within your breeding project, ensuring consistent offspring with the desired qualities.

Think of the mosaic now – specific colors and patterns become prominent, forming a coherent picture. The F3 generation is where your artistic vision truly starts to take shape.

Backcrossing: Refinement with a Twist

Sometimes, you might want to fine-tune a specific trait from a parent plant. That's where backcrossing comes in:

• Reintroduce desired traits: You breed an F1 or later generation plant back to one of its parents. This increases the presence of specific parental genes, allowing you to refine certain characteristics.
• Maintain hybrid vigor: Unlike purebred crosses, backcrossing retains the benefits of hybrid vigor, making it a valuable tool for strain development.

Imagine the mosaic – you're adding specific tiles from the parent palette to enhance the overall artwork. Backcrossing allows you to make targeted adjustments while preserving the unique blend of your hybrid creation.

Now I need to reset the 18gal drip res

If you're helmets stay on for too long, RH is too low.

Got that Mr fulvic running now using 0.5 mL ATM

2000 gallons @ 0.5mL

ACIDS man, Acids.


Nice to have.

let's see if we can notice any Observable differences, wether it be lower E.C efficient, plant healthy/vigor/uptake etc.

 

[Observer]

She starting to grow fast

 

[Observer]

Need to make more seeds

I'ma start breeding my own genetics again

 

[Observer]

More seeds/cubes down to Learn From/With

 

[Observer]

90-110 ppm/0.2 E.C TAP
5.5pH
6.5mL 34% h2o2
5.5mL Ca(CIO)2 /Calcium hypochlorite
5mL Mr.Fulvic.

Another gelato-45 down.

Majority of these seeds/plants, need to be sorted by desirable traits and pick the winners, start breeding and stabilizing these genetics, the ones when I first started pollen chucking and getting into it.


Till I get some new/different genetics/plants to work with.

 

[Observer]

Res reset.

 

[Observer]

Am.still up.

Res set was complete

I was sidetracked lol

 

[Observer]

Probably reset the 3gal "dwc" today

 

[Observer]

Probably reset the 3gal "dwc" today

Put air stones in dwc, PPMs at 310, I'm leaving it for now, I've added a few mL of fulvic to and redosed h2o2 34% 18ml for the 3 gallons and 20ml of caCIO2 or so

And plant seems fine so not changing the water in dwc

Dosed res's back down to 5.4-5.5

Again, few mLs for the seedlings when I get to it in morning/afternoon and then few nore at night

Need to get on a proper water schedule

RDWC & DWC both take learning and $$ which in my position I am not ready for so my coco hydro is where I'll stay for now, I'll just watch your Journey and learn more, Cheers Observer

Have you ever watched a Ted presentation on how to fall to sleep quickly? A guy I saw gave me a method that works pretty good. He used a stop watch and made us imagine the tic tok as we breath. inhale for 4 second and exhail for 4 seconds. First just go tiktok slowly in your brain as slow as a clock would for 15 - 30 seconds then work in the breathing. As you pay attention to your breathing and the timing of 1-2-3-4 exhail 1-2-3-4 inhail. I find I fall asleep pretty fast......never mind my explanation here it is.

I use Flurolicious Plus or Diamond Nectar in my auto pots because of those acids and I swear it helps them stay green and healthy. I just searched for Mr. Fulvic up here but it doesn't look like its available. There are alternatives but I've liked sticking with 1 company for nute's and additives and the 2 above are both GH products. I think there's like 2% fulvic in the shit I use and I know I'm getting ripped off using it. I may try an alternative but I hate fking with success to save a few bucks. I'm so conflicted....lol....do I or don't I

Well supposedly the source of the ingredients is super important and or how Mr fulvic is made and nothing is the exact same, or does as much at mr.f does supposedly?

I'll have to check one of his threads on ICMAG out, (bills nutri thread)


I will look at floralicuous and diamond nectar
