the cherry are going in mormal pots the greedy cunts! twice a day feeding i dont think so the fucking things.

Get your light as close to the seedlings as you can otherwise they will stretch and snap or you will end up with a stupidly lanky plant with loads of wasted stem (basics).
I'll bring you that CFL tomorrow mate.

I gave you them in airpots for a reason, that pheno will throw out 8-10oz from 2-3 weeks veg in soil in a plain bucket.
They need airpots mate and it just doesn't make sense to put your 2 most productive plants in plain pots and suffer a yield hit.

I don't know where you're getting twice a day feeding from either, they're in soil and only need watering once or twice a week at the moment.
Even when they're in full flower you shouldn't even be watering twice a day or even everyday, every 2-3 days maximum.

I can see you filling that room with different strains that need different feeding regimes with different finishing times, not understanding plant symptoms, not listening to advice and fucking it up again.

Look what happened when you didn't drill the hole.

Light and heat sensitive, wrap in tinfoil and keep in the fridge.

Can't wait to see what that stuff does yorkie

Well if I suspend it with a couple of other chemicals to help disperse it properly (I have the recipe patent from 1982 that 'The Procter & Gamble Company' filed) then I should be able to get colas the size of my head with it's full effects.


I've never used it before and it's an experiment for the community, there are loads of folk in the states that use it but finding actual photo evidence of super large tria harvests is like trying to find a needle in a haystack.

so what alcohol you going to use or whatever polysorbet is?

 

[Closetgardner]

Will you be doing a control/test grow with it so you have something to compare it against?

I'm not 100% sure yet, I have to wrap my head round the Procter & Gamble patent properly (I only found it by chance last night) so that I understand the ratios and molecular weights then find chems that fit the brief. I want to do it right the first time.

Patent.

Polysorbate 20 or 'Tween 20' is a wetting agent derived from coconut that also allows oil and water to mix without using alcohol.

Lol, well I've been thinking about this and I was going to do 4 plants. 2 with and 2 without but then I thought that if it works like it is supposed to work then......

1) I didn't want the bigger 2 to block out the smaller 2.

2) If my plants get week 5 sized colas in week 2 then there will be no mistaking the difference.

Depending on how this run goes I will probably get a bigger tent next time and do 4 with and 4 without as a control.

thank fuck got my fan filter, seems a bit shitty but it will do

mate dont knock the cheep and cheerful. i used mine for 2 grows and it done its job for about 6 months. dont get me wrong if you can afford to upgrade to a rhino pro filter in about that time do it. i got 1 and its not leaving a wiff of weed out yet

@yorky im another one that cant wait to see how that stuff does

I have also come to the conclusion that as 'Canna Boost' has triacontanol in it then it should be far more effective if used as a foliage spray.

The small concentration of tria in boost is pretty much useless when used in a soil drench, not to mention that tria is not water soluble and alcohol taken through the roots causes plants to dehydrate as it fucks with water uptake.

 

[mantiszn]

do you think that the explosive vegetive growth might continue through flowering, or would it just enhance each phase individually
could see things getting out of control quickly, if its as good as it claims

sure if it's in a usable state you could find someone to do a full control test.
+sub teh shit outta that.

edit: how many litres would you potentially get out of that small bottle?

Yes it does, it is presumed (as nobody really knows why it does what it does) that the chemical directly stimulates the cells/genes responsible for photosynthesis.
Using tria on plants is like a bodybuilder using 'human growth hormone', exactly the same principle.

As it's organic you can spray it all the way through but you'll have to stop about 2-3 weeks before chop so that the chem can degrade naturally (enzymes in the plant leaves break it down over time).


I've just worked it out and the 2g vial cost me 10.50 with postage.

@ 25ppm (25mg per 1 litre of water) per plant then that 2g will treat 80 plants @ 13p a plant!

i was planning on using canna boost as a foliar feed this time because ive got a little bit left from my last run and i spent the money i would have used to get more on liquid light, reverse and the saturator. thats good news for me

when im foliar feeding is it ok to mix boost with that liquid light or should i do it 1 thing at a time?

Personally I'd do em separately.

I ordered some new parts for that PSP, cost me about 20-23 quid all in.

Screen, 3600mh battery, extended battery cover, ribbon cables from buttons to mobo and a charging cable.

Ordered them all at the same time with next day delivery and according to sod's law only the screen and the charging cable has come, I can fix the screen but I can't turn it on without a battery.

Cunts!
