Stoney's pro tip of the day...

take an old hex nut driver that ya have laying around, cut a couple slots in er and stick a magnet in the bottom, and then you can put in eye hooks like a champ!!!!

My kit of different screw gun bits/heads actually came with a bit that does this. Works for a few different styles including the thumb screw and butterfly.

A much older kit had one similar but it’s disappeared.

yea, mines better.. one because it's mine!! haha two because that doesn't even have a quick change so it can't be used in a driver... bet it do't even have a magnet in it!! hahahahahaha'

i'm just fuckin wit ya man!!!!!!!!

.

end of week one of flowering....

turned the lights up another 10% on the red and white, only 5% more on the blue. this will be the highest the blue goes until finishing time...







the PPMs are holding steady at 450.. been three or four days now.. i expect it to slowly drop a little, the uppers are only at 420ppm so all top off is a little light. the ph doser is still working a little to keep the ph up so i'll let the top off lower it some more but it's way better than it was and going in the correct direction.

i bailed on filling the three squares.. i went for quality over quantity.. they looked like were gonna be behind everything else so i readjust a few of them and will live with empty spots... i mean there's no denying that they look better this way than horizontal and should produce some nice buds!!!



just a little in the middle yet. hoping some of these smaller ones are grow'ers and not show'ers!!!



thats about it for now.... Thanks for lookin in!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

i know you said you like to watch a lot of older races, have you ever heard DW sing that loose wheel song? omg he's suck a goofball!!!! hahaha

hell i say that almost every week to the TV!!!!!!!

Max, i need ya to root for your boy SVG this sunday... i need a win from the 88 team this week!!!!!!!!!!!

View attachment 115504

Haha..I’m rooting for him..how’d he go anyway.ill b getting a new tv soon so I’ll b getting some pay per view stations..can’t wait actually…

 

[Stoneyluv]

Haha..I’m rooting for him..how’d he go anyway.ill b getting a new tv soon so I’ll b getting some pay per view stations..can’t wait actually…

he does incredible on the road courses, nobody can beat unless he beats himself. he won his fifth of the season today. the 5 team was giving it everything they had and he was still a tenth better a lap.

if he could improve his oval game and short track races he could be dangerous. but with road races a minority it would be very tough for him to win a championship in nascar if he doesn't get better at the intermediate tracks.

i'll take the win today for our office race pool thats for sure!!!!!!

so tonight i did something i should have done last sunday... i kinda wasted an entire week of rapid growth that could have been all vertical above the screen but they wasted a bunch of energy growing all the stuff i just cut out of there tonight.. better late than never but next time i gotta be on it quicker.. Granny warned me!!!!!!!!




something else i did.... maybe corny maybe cool don't know but it was fun so i did it...

i cut a window out for the back wall that was all white.... ya know a window for plants to look out of!!!!! hahahaha

He will get better at it but like you said he is a champion touring car driver.up amongst the best we have had and we have many great champion supercar drivers..I tell you if any of those oval races gets a little slippery “watch out” he drives like a man possessed in the wet..

the good, the bad, and the ugly...

so the good...

flowering, buds starting, not the biggest but we're making it happen...



the Bad....

the smaller plant can't decide if she's a boy or girl.. this is going to make it so much fun for harvest times and not being done...

speaking of done... i am so done with two plants from different seeds in this system forever...

and the ugly... nah just foolin, no ugly here.. instead of ugy i'll give ya the boring details so far....

 

[doublej]

Hey bud...where's the year stamp on those 550s bro?
There's a couple on ebay I was looking at

 

[doublej]

That green on the bottom is crazy man.
Hop the other hurry up for ya...

 

[GrumpAzz]

Dang. Is she hermin'?

 

[Stoneyluv]

Hey bud...where's the year stamp on those 550s bro?
There's a couple on ebay I was looking at

they're right next to where the communication ports are...



the newer versions are just a thin white tag and the older models are brown...

i have a 2020, a 2018, and two 2017's...




the two older ones are still kickin ass.... osram baby!!!

That green on the bottom is crazy man.
Hop the other hurry up for ya...

i can already tell it's gonna be behind... i ain't waiting.. i've already decided that.

Dang. Is she hermin'?

man i wasn't even thinking that bad... i just thought she was super late to the game.. i'll keep my eyes peeled though... freakin better not be!!! it won't end well for the plant i can say this...

i've gona a little evil on plants in the past... (with audio)

 

[doublej]

Holy shit.....FLASH BACK!!!!!......

Watched that movie last nite.ol Clitty Eastwood.
well one thing havin a gal flower late is she sure will b a stacker and have more budz to toke

 

[doublej]

What year did the 550 change/update? There diodes...?? Is that the right words....

 

[Stoneyluv]

Holy shit.....FLASH BACK!!!!!......

man i saw lots of old ass videos looking for those..

i miss the shinin... i need to make a batch one day.. i was cleaning up downstairs tonight and moved a couple gallons in jugs, i never drink it i just like making it!!

man that song is so damn iconic.. that song could never be reused for anything else...

What year did the 550 change/update? There diodes...?? Is that the right words....

so out of my four lights three of them are different from each other..

my 2017's are identical to each other. they look similar to this layout diode wise and the white diodes are a "soft" white looking. appear to be 2700k or less to me...

my 2018 model has the same diode layout but the white diodes are a much higher Kelvin, like a 5000k looking light. the software seems to be the same though. meaning that if you put on all blue, it's all blue..

now the 2019 model is when everything changed. completely different diode style and layout 2019 and newer have COB diodes for the white and an even higher K, my guess is around 6500K, "daylight" style and also have a little bit different software and act a bit different from each other even connected to the same controller.

update time....

now mid bloom so i mixed up some mid bloom nutes and tonight is change out time..

a little pour porn for y'all... turn the volume up loud if ya have to pee!!! hahaha

https://imgur.com/a/C9Bt4su

here we have a before shot...




and now an after...





yup!!! it's like that... i made the executive decision and she's gone!!! she was a month behind the other plant and completely full of leaves, there wasn't really any space for buds anyway from all the leaves!! and there is no way i was gonna wait an extra month after i harvest the left side.. so the nute stealer is out and and now i'll get to see the true numbers of the one plant drinking and eating with no variables.. i think this move will help me learn better anyway.



so rest in peace HFB... ending root shot... and yes, i took a bite!!!! hahaha



my new solution is:





i kept it right at 420ppm it's where they liked it the best but we'll see if anything changes since the "sensitive" is now gone.

i mixed up enough for the rez change and about five or six gallons left over so see how she likes it and i can make changes soon if needed for the top off.

.
Have a great weekend everybody!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It seems to be working for you, but I was always told to dilute the nute before adding it to the solution. I usually do 4:1 water to nutes

Hell yea!!

Hell yea!!

Adding nutrient to a resevoir like that video?

Should be fine, imo.

Moe explained it to me and I ran a little experiment at the time.

You can take a cup of your solution and, if pour something in at full sgrength, you can actually see some of it precipitate out and fall to the bottom.

I tried it with pH Down, though, so maybe that's what he referenced. Not the nutes but the adjusters?

Strong Sharknado vibes up in here!

On the plant you pulled...was it an equal and just slow developing or started later? Sorry for not following too close but it's got me thinking about my own situation and runts.
So I have two strains. Nine plants total and three runts in the nine from both strains.
I kept the runts up front so I could baby them and protect them from being choked out.
They snap out of being runts for the most part and do their thing.
Now here we are in full bloom and the slow aspect of being runts has never left them. If I didn't know they were all started at the same time I'd believe the4 runts were started 3 weeks after the others because they're about 2-3 weeks behind in bloom.
It has me wondering if it was worth it to keep them?
Sure I'll get weed out of them but would I have gotten more weed from the other by giving up the space the runts used to other larger plants?
It's just something I'm at a crossroads here and seeing you take out a plant has me leaning more and more to less is more and not hanging onto runts or anything else that's slower than the main crop.
There's a greed there for sure...more plants = more weed. A thing where it's just too hard to kill a perfectly good fem plant even if it is slow and small. Some runts do produce great weed.
But IDK man....I'm really getting to the point of culling runts or anything that can't keep up with the peloton. I'll end up chopping my main crop then waiting two weeks for the runts to finish pretty much delaying the next crop and it's all for maybe 4-5oz, if that.

Dealing with a runt myself. Kind of wish it didn’t make it as it looks two weeks behind the rest.

Another issue is one strain is looking perfectly healthy while the other strain looks like an N deficiency.

Here's my anecdotal evidence from my Guzzlers run.

4 seeds same strain.
Front left plant was the runt...


...but then she exploded in flower.

Highest yielder in the tent and was the closest to being finished, but I chopped early.

I say seeds are like a box of chocolates...

Edited to add:

Runt is the front right. It was behind from the get-go. Lapped the others in flower.
