Red's Thread ~ All things Cannabis

i find the bleaching kinda cool, albeit a hair of an annoyance.

have you done any testing to see if there's an impact on active compounds as a result of the bleaching? i assume there is significant terpene loss at the affected area, but i'm curious if there's a potential change in compounds produced in that isolated area.

Bang on man. That is precisely what I am testing. I bleached it on purpose.

Foxtailing was an interest of Jadin's Journey growing Trainwreck & gorilla glue, he did not elaborate except to say he wanted to stop the foxtails? SS
I have read many places that foxtailing is a result of light stress. I disagree. I think it is genetic. And excessive light can trigger it, but it is not the cause.

If this one under intense ppfd does not foxtail, I'm kinda proving my point, albeit a very small sample size.

I've had low light strains foxtail, and high PPFD grows not, soo...

This is a vid of a vid. My first or second tent grow I had 3 different seeds from same mother. Black/purple is the oldest and months older. Other two were started together.

Once in the tent all are treated the same except volume of feed/water.

LED is a set of 220w linked and advertised as a 450w. IIRC the light was at 100% by this time.

The front right plant had started foxtails because the sap/resin was dripping off two plants but this one glued the lower buds in place. I was later able to pull some out with my fingers but the sap and sticky trichomes made it difficult and I have no idea if it helped but it was like mini foxtails making up a giant foxtail.

Any use or help let me know and I’ll try and get the pics of her. Don’t know why she did this as no others did.

Took a while to upload but I’m not able to play vids until EOM. Hope it works okay.

Edit: Corrected 250w to 450w.

The bleached/dried one was so sticky I had to use a BBQ brush to get the leaves off.

Still have a jar of it. Was going to see about making oil but those toys are $$$. It’s a light short heady high. Maybe 60 minutes, at least 30. It’s good to do things around the house and you can still drive a few hours later.

My buddy really likes it so I gave him most. He even took the bag of sugar leaves I saved so he can use it with tobacco.
 
You'll appreciate this Moe. First ever custom patch cable. Used a pass through terminal, though and my crimper doesn't have the blade to cut the wires flush, so it won't fully connect in the switch port because the wires are sticking out too far 🤣PXL_20230523_231109574.MP.jpgPXL_20230523_231017583.jpg

That's what that silver razor blade is for. Cut them to length and flush before you stick them in.
 
I’d say if foxtailing is genetic then different pheno s dont nessesarily carry the trait..I’m suprised at 1000ppfd the leaves aren’t tacoeing .what’s your leaf temps moe ..I bet that bleached buds temp isn’t all that hot being white..

They are tacoing. It happened across 3 days when I left the CO2 off (I'm an idiot) and never relaxed back.

Haven't checked my leaf temps in a bit. Probably 78 range up at the top.
 
I could use some help from my soil friends.

These are the plastic kit I'm using:

My plan is to use the green germinators on the right with soil from below

4c672904-0918-4d88-a271-aeb85b114b31-jpeg.4034


To germ these 12 seeds tonight.

I have 2 bags of Lush Organic, and one of the Royal gold.

I have the Bio-Live 542 pictured, but the shop owner told me these soils are good as is until week 3 of flower. Gaia Green is not available. He recommended the Bio-Live.

He told me that whatever is in that bag is dead from being in the bag. He was wearing a Recharge shirt. He really wanted me to buy some Recharge. I did not. I figure Great White was built for this purpose. I got that. Felt very salesy.

I also have General Hydro Flora series, Jacks, Fulvic, well pretty much all that crap that I guess I don't need over here.

Source is RO water.


So the question - Do I just wet down this soil, stick in the seed and dome it up at right temp? It seems to me like this media would be too hot for a seedling if it takes you all the way into flower?

Second question, how do you physically water? I'm thinking of gravity feeding from my RO tank with just a garden wand from lowes?

Bonus question - do I need anything else to be successful?

I would not start a seed in any of that pictured to hot
 
Move to the airpots after solos.
Watering seedlings is tricky for most IMO.
I keep em short by keeping a weak light [ LED aquarium light] close and watering as light as possible in first week or 2.
That IMO is why the solos are key. Square bottoms don't tip over as easily.
 
@Oldsog, what am I looking at for finish time on this Han Solo Death Cookies? I'm still adding mass and throwing white at 8 weeks and no sign of stopping. Trichs are all clear as glass.
The han solo is a gmo hybrid which goes about 10 weeks (gmo goes 11+) the northfire cookies is a 9-10 wk. 10 or more weeks

OK, I'll let it go as long as it wants to. Crazy it just keeps putting on mass.

I've heard GMO takes forever, patience is a virtue I never had.

Very pretty plant overall. I'm going to do this one again and actually work it. This time I only defoliated once, just a little bit on the bottom in late veg, otherwise it did what it wanted to. I think this one could be a big producer if I scrogged it.
