Working Dogs Ziggy and Jake: Bonus points if you can name the breeds!

If you're growing in soil, then EC/PPM is a much less important measurement. In coco or hydro it is important. I use tap water, and it's horrible, PPM's up to 1200, mostly Ca, Mg, Mn and Fe, so I don't need to add calmag, I did once, and it locked out N.

I don't remember, but it was pretty late in flower, in my case they were hitting the plastic on the roof of an outdoor greenhouse and browning the tips.

I would, I've done it, won't hurt a thing, and leaving it on there will be a mold magnet!

Your municipal water district will have all the info you need concerning what's in your water (usually on-line). An airstone will speed up the dissapation of chlorine, which only takes a day anyway (I don't bother with chlorine/chloramines, the effects are so short lived). Add your calmag...

What are you feeding? The leaves are very dark green.

No, that’s a geode, my wife’s a geologist.

Welcome aboard! Old 70’s Humboldt guy (the real wild West). Love hunting and fishing, retired 12 years ago, kids all grown. Living the good life with the wife in NorCal.

Nothing natural that I know of will prevent all bugs (but maybe someone has the magic bullet), there are some things that discourage them. It also depends on what you mean by natural, pyrethrum is natural, derived from chrysanthemums, but it is a poison. Neem is natural, but it is also a...

Hand thrown with a sealable top (turn the knob on the lid), made by a lady in Humboldt County, had it for about 35 years!

Wow, and only another $400 to ship it!!!

You flower until they're done, plants can't read calendars. At best breeders estimates are just that, estimates, usually based on perfect conditions. In most cases the estimates are very "optimistic"! I use a combination of looks (pistils brown/shriveled back into the caylxes, buds swelled)...

Back in trim jail again!!! (Three more to go after these). This time of year my garage is about perfect, 64 degrees and 55-60%humidity.

They look great, mostly cloudy IMHO. Breeder estimates are almost always "optimistic" (putting it nicely).
