Total Noob using teas and I am a believer

[hyroot]

So I'm pissed. Tried farmerjohn420 48 hr period before flower. Did this on 6 plants, 1 week ago, we'll 5/6 fuckin are hermy. Mot^÷=&&=& I'm so pissed. t^£;/&**#**&#&&&#&££88 Ass Ass ass.

You can tell that farmer john doesn't know shit. For one lush lighting c'mon. Thats just rebranded chinese led's from e-shine... Lush lighting lies about the led's they use and the performance and coverage. all their grows are with hps/led. then they take down the hps for thie videos and pics. Crap led's. Look at his nutrient line and how redundant it is.. He uses 20 different bottles that do the same thing. Plus his plants are in super soil. That guy does know how to build a grow room and make bho, but thats about it.. As a grower he is far from anyone that should be emulated. His last video got banned for using the copyrighted music in his video. apparently he needed permission on that one.

subcool and mr. spliff and dirt beard, and tc, and frenchy really know their shit though. In one of farmer johns videos he says his grow can't step to spliffs... not exact words...

that does suck bro. after veg time. At least it happened early and not mid to late flower. A couple weeks ago I killed 2 plants from seed the hermied in week 6 of flower

I really have to get in the habit of taking more pics. I'd say the stem was just about 1/2" with a 1/4" gap...almost 3/8, but very strong. I might have some pcs near worm bin. I'll snap a pic if they're still there. I thought it was from the 12/12 from seed, but I just read it's what hyroot summed up. That's another plant I chopped that had an amazing snow white root ball. I might be on to something with this coco mix. Here's where I'm at in my vert...all 12/12fs.

I'm such an amateur photographer. Is there a phone app or settings I should change? It just might be that indoor sun

Mag ballast?...

Wow lost 5 plants cause of messed up advise. Bro i feel for you. Ill have to remember to follow the basics and dont step off the path. Dam again sorry to hear that. allot of time and work goes into each plant. im gonna go check my babies make sure proper light distance is their and check water lvl's ect. good night RIU

Hyroot. I agree, he grows nice plants but has 8k+ to do so and he's a nice guy but a Lil misleading. Subcool uses bottled nutes too. I don't know why they don't get teas going, they buy bottled teas. I watch pretty much all their vids and love how most their plants look but I think they could be better with some of true organics, not bottled teas or synthetic enzymes and hormones. All the stuff you gentleman do is how organics should be. Handmade goodness.

I like to kick back smoke and watch all the grow videos. When I start my next batch. Ima start a series called "The Light n.e.r.d.s." I'll go around filming grows with led, induction, par t5 and cmh.. plus my own. First ep will be of the cup though

Would you have a link to where to buy everything to build a nice led panel. I would love to have one to Cover a 6x6 area and have up to 4ft plants from the base of soil.im really close to getting a light and i wouldn't mind taking a few days off work to have a Lil time engineering a light. I have all the tools and I'm sure i could make it look pretty sweet. I take pride in my work and really need to kick back and do some work at home, I worked my ass off ever since out of hs. This yr resolution was to have fun and see new places. I'll be at the cup as well mr.hyroot. I would love to try that cheese plant of yours lop looks delish. I should get off here. I'm going to go check your YouTube out hyroot. I just may go the indagro route.

Why didn't you consult with us before trying something so drastic?! Shows how much you respect us lol. If you have the tools, GOOD equipment, passion, and choose parts and spectrum wisely, then it's def doable. I have some great links (with pix lol) for ya if serious. If you have some 1000w MH ballasts, you can rock the 860CMH for only 100$.

P's the shit we do is superior to most organics and we make it at a fraction. I was looking over advance nutrients and was like a hit i do all that stuff. Looked at the price and was like uh yeah i can get nutes for like 3 dollars a lb and they are way better than bottles so wtf, I wish ppl did teas and saved money. Spend it elsewhere like volcanos or sweet ass bongs. Or see toys to ship to all them bottled nutes comps.

There's several ingredients I might buy bottled still and yet. I love ProTect, will switch to Agisil 16 soon to save $, and BioAg is sold pretty cheap near us. Who here uses fulvic acid?

I got into a bigger than usual fight with the wife yesterday...mind you the usual being the fucking cops are gonna come. Grabbed a 12 pack, and picked out worm coccons before football. That mundane task, of sifting out tiny little cocoons, was pure bliss. There's always a way to get your mind of things.

The 'Zen' Approach. Works every time.

It is just insane that we remember all the good times and they f'in concentrate on the 1% which were the bad times. Just crazy. I am lucky that there have been no police involved. I have vowed not to call her or text her for anything other than kid related issues.

I am still struggling to find the "energy" or whatever that I need to have to do those tasks. I feel my head is spinning 90% of the time still. I hate this shit. I don't want her back at all since I recently found out that she has a "friend". Makes me sick. She is looking horrible in her kids eyes. For some sick reason that makes me feel better. That sucks about the fight yesterday Red. I get it.

Short term, you are going to have a much harder time than her. Soon as visitation with kids etc is sorted, that tide turns bro. Hang tight mate. And yeah no shame in a little giggle when somebody that fucked you over gets a dose of their own medicine. The 'sick' reason is that at that point, it is a sign that nature will still hold some kind of balance. That's how I see it anyhow.

I had a growers first today...no I'm not talking about a sticky trap to the forehead. I chopped my stud after freaking (Black n Mild style) out some pollen. Noticed most of the main stem was hollow. Doesn't matter now, but is this a good or bad thing? It grew fast and was a great smelling dude...

Tons of herb makes hollow stems. Especially plants that tend to go very big or very tall. Hollow stems in nature are much stronger than solid ones. All the oldest oaks have hollow stems, in their case hollowed out by fungus. The hollow stemmed plants will tend to make very square stems too. It solidifies in the older growth but even that is a lot more flexible than usual. Northern Lights and Haze and Afghan strains can all have very hollow stems. It is something I specifically look for in outdoor plants that are going to grow from September all the way to April. They get MASSIVE, up to 3.5 kilos each and when going guerilla there is no supporting them. They have to be strong and able to not only hold their bud up but do it through rain and wind.

All my Gage testers have hollow stems, I can tell.

It was run in my 'loco coco' mix, which was watered every 2 days. Would this give me a hydro type yield with an organic taste?! That's my goal with the coco mix, and I'm about a month from finding out!

ROLS, ROLS, ROLS... That's how you get hydro yields and organic flavour. You have to build your soil slowly until BAM! Dialled and alive. I am doing my next run in 2nd gen soil, can't wait.

that does suck bro. after veg time. At least it happened early and not mid to late flower. A couple weeks ago I killed 2 plants from seed the hermied in week 6 of flower

The 6-week herm is becoming a common thing. Reading about it all over grow journals and reports etc. Odd, but it really is becoming quite common. And from guys that you just KNOW have dialled in rooms and gear so no grower error involved anywhere.

I've started the cookaning of a peat mix with 25% of my own EWC, which was already amended from the get go. 50% peat, 5% biochar...low n slow on the grill, and the rest rice hulls. I'm going to compare with my coco mix. Plus there's a bunch of baby worms in mix. Odds are 2:1 peat winning...I'll take the coco!!! Any takers?

Did you use your own ewc for your coco mix? If not, you can't compare the two. The home made ewc mix will win every time. I really like the mix I'm running now. 20% peat, 20% coco, 30% vermicompost, 30% rice hulls.

Red, be careful when re-using your mix with rice hulls. I fucked up a couple batches of plants because I didn't account for how much heavier and less porous a soil gets when you re-amend with ewc. The combination of adding more ewc, no new aeration material, and the rice hulls breaking down over time lead to roots that were starved for oxygen. It was the 4'th generation for that batch.

I've gone through a few bottles of their ful-power. Can't say I notice much of a difference. SST's, pro-tekt/Agisil, fish hydrosolate, and aloe are the items that when used I can see positive results. Everything else I have cut back on or completely eliminated. Trying to simplify things a bit. Life is too busy to be brewing teas every friggin day.

Fishy goop is awesome. I am a believer. My plants are no longer vegan because of it but the stuff makes them really, really happy.

EDIT: It makes them REALLY REALLY REALLY REALLY happy. I want to go get some pics of the outdoor for you guys. Only 3 ACT's and the rest fishy goop. Amazing health.

Nice safe mix stow. Thanks for the hull tip! I can see this happening after a quick first run of some males. Hulls are a lot soggier now. I think small-medium lava rock is the best, and will make or break your back lol. I actually have some hulls in my bin for Si. I added some yesterday, I'll let ya know how quick they break down. Biochar is awesome aeration/porosity as well!

My coco mix had the Coast of Maine lobster compost and the wiggler castings from NY...forget the name. I did top dress and transplant with my own VC.

On a shitty note all 5 of my Cornerstones showing sacs now. F!!!

The closer up pic is a re-vegged LVBK... threw down a pic of her as a baby also

How long to reveg? Very nice!

EDIT: I do have one female GG Cornerstone!!! Now I have 4 males to choose from. Just going to dust up 1 bottom branch. Here's the bride to be...

 

[st0wandgrow]

Red, I've been getting a stupid amount of males lately too. Thus my question on the LOS myth thread.

I got 6 out of 8 males on my Grape Puff, and 9 out of 11 males on my Bodhi Dream Lotus. Still waiting to sex my 4 Zazen's.

Speaking of Zazen .....



3 of the 4 are squat, bushy looking plants with 3-finger leaves. The other plant is looking very stretchy with nothing but 5-finger leaves. I'll have to ask gas what the 2 distinct phenos are. The tall one looks like an all together different strain.

 

[RedCarpetMatches]

It's gotta be the weather stow. I haven't had this many males since bag seed and pimple days. I thought it was from starting on 12/12 combined with cold. I wouldn't be watching f'n sacs if I had more females. Nothing like checking hundreds of balls several times daily, to have one pop at night. Oh well, got a bunch of good Bodhi powder, pollinated moms, and reveg'n clones. I'm about to post some 'good' stuff on Bodhi thread lol. Got 50/50 exactly on the BO...funny thing is each gender has a small, med, and large.

LMAO.....Google Fail: pro-tekt/Vagisil

Uh, no, not Vagisil!
