daughter got into my new seeeds

found the 3 out of 4 packs but they are all mixed up now, dont know what is what, so FUCK EM.
out of sight and out of mind, guess i wont have those.

just the 4 i planted, and hope those fucking WORK

otherwise, yea, my planned out run is fucked if those 4 seeds/plants dont fucking grow worth a fuck
cause now i CANT FUCKING REPLANT THEM

im fuckin defeated

fucking fuck

FUCK FUCK FUCK

This is why we can't have nice things lol

 

[Observer]

Pruned. (just the drip plants mainly)
More oxygen and nutrients the rootzone can supply for the next new growth
Removed big fan leafs blocking the lower nodes
Removed the lower lowest nodes as thats too low and close to the media, in my way/drip way.
The white coloring is oxidation, lol.


I love how much cleaner the wool can be

No loose "dirt" bullshit.

The dwc kinda stalled out, dried out, water line was not there, lol.
Kratky cups are still goin strong it seems, ive been changing the solution every 2 days or so, probably dont need to as often but, fresh supply and o2 dose

Now time to seal it up, get temps and rh up mid 80s/70s, and they'll be back towards the light, more so, PPFD back up 25-50% from 5%, 200-450ppfd

(gotta turn it down to take pictures, or my phones camera processing makes it so yellow

They perked right up,after

Doesn’t change much when they get older…not until they move out and have to buy their own crap. Then they get it. So you have about 20+ years to train yours.

Yup 18 years left till then, lol. Love her to death though

Here's the other 2
I'll shake em out too

 

[Zen_seeker]

Too soggy?

Only did one RW cube 16 months ago. Fail big time. Do better other ways. I find this interesting but doubt I’ll try again any time soon.

You let me see what I’m missing, or avoiding, depends on the outcome.

 

[Observer]

Too soggy

Besides everything else lol, I think it is.

At first I thought i was doing too dry on the SEED STARTS because the root looks like its "splintering" or "breaks" like a zigzag down the sides , making me think too dry, but rn st lights off these cubes are more than likely too wet so I shake some out

Well, it's a lot more "sensitive" media, inert, sterile, not messy like soil or coco, no restrictions to the plant basically, ALOT more control.

It's a "high-performance" media

Little learning curve at first but I understand the concept and how to use them about now

I'm rooting these out and then I'll probably move them in the 5x /grow bags and "mom" em out from there

Ill try to show what I mean about the root "splintering" don't want disturb these one's though

It seems also very important on how you place the seed in or on the cube.

That’s unexpected.

 

[Observer]

Using less water and a PkN ratio

Yea so you can place the seed on top and just let it do it's thing, but if you push in it too much into the hole,into the cube it seems it can get a little too tight for the shell and seed to shed...

Ahhh

 

[Observer]

Using less water and a PkN ratio

More PK- to/than N for roots.

 

[SSgrower]

popped another seed lol

made another "starter" solution.

i would use 0ppm water but i am currently out, so tap it was. final E.C ended at 0.2 so not bad. 5.4-5.5 pH

tap/1/gal
5.0mL mr fulvic
6.5mL H2O2 (34%)
5.9mL Ca(CIO)2
citric acid with less than 2% SiO4 to ph targ

So you use this recipe to seedlings after they emerge the media, huh? I use Foop Garden & FF big bloom usually, FF is susposed to help seedlings, earthworm castings I guess,Cheers bro

 

[Observer]

Establish root zone, then increase N-pK for canopy, and start HFF

Yeah I mix my own nutrient solutions

Because main macro "building blocks "for roots are PK

I’m making mush ATM.


Cannabis leaves, mulch, and old vape. Sprayed with whey & molasses.

Smells a lot like a beer wort. Hoping no rot.

Yeah definitely works just takes some time

 

[Observer]

The salts are pretty cheap and go a long ways


And then I have more control over what I'm giving them

This is why i began FF big bloom for the roots!

Yea, basically a flower nutrient ratio, so I'll give them my starter solution (seeds), and then after the emerge keep starter solution till they are actually putting there first leafs passed cotyledons out and then switch to PKn ratio to get a root system going, and then switch to my NpK solution for canopy growth/veg

Ive been using small amounts of soluble kelp in my starter and pkn solution

I'm not sure about using (kelp) in NpK solution

It can make them elongate supposedly
But benefits compounds in it

I need more time with it

Getting my SOPs down and water chem More understood, additives, hormones, nutrients, acids and bases, other beneficial compounds I can use with sterile growing, etc.

I micro-dose and mix my starter solution in a "spray bottle" that way I can control ratio's of nutrients and "Aim" my watering at the immediate plant or plants I am starting. Great thread by the way. We need to discuss our tactics of growing to expound our knowledge and expand it,right?

 

[GoodShit97]

So recently i got the FF flower trio salts, its Cha-Ching, Beastie Bloomz, and Open Sesame. Seems to be working fantastic! Ill definitely continue using it in flower with the FF grow big in veg only.

 

[Zen_seeker]

Old vape? Lol

Why not? If it can still get you high in cooking why not use as carbon for compost? Hoping it speeds fermentation.

the whole point of grow forums, no?



seeing some ignorance around here and its kinda pissing me off

@GoodShit97

see that back one near the tent zip line?

thats 61 inches in that solo cup, and the root zone is actually less than what the solo can hold, i took that plant out and rinsed the media off/around the roots and the root zone would fit in youre palm.... crazy...61~ inches top cola from a rootzone that small, balance & scale.

so i think ill be just fine with a few solos worth of media in the gallon grow bags, and i think 5 cups is about 1/2 or less

to scale.

and watering needs.
