Awesome, Dr John Stivers, I just went out to Ebay and purchased a block of Ona Gel for under $10. A quick check around the web gives it excellent reviews so I'm anxious to try it out next week when it arrives. Sounds like it will last me through my grow with no problem. Thanks for...

The two pH meters I bought on Ebay (same style pen version but different vendors) have not been calibrated by me but both register the same values when I test a liquid. Just today I received some 7.01 buffering solution so I'm going now to check for accuracy. I had no idea about your trick...

Merry Christmas to you also Rebro. Things seem to have settled down here a bit. I'm seeing no further brown areas. Attached are some screen images of my journal spreadsheet for the last couple weeks. Today is Day 39. You'll see in spreadsheet "problem slide 3.jpg" that I tested...

No problem, I have senior moments all the time. One bit of bad news. I gave the plant a 295 ppm feeding 2 days ago. Today there were about 6 leaves with various brown problems. A few had brown (like decaying) on only part of the margin, one had the entire last half inch of the leaf...

I use a 50% promix and 50% perlite for medium so I don't think this will apply. It drains super well which is nice since I would probably drowned the poor little girl.

Looking down the road a bit, do you put molasses in water during the final weeks of the plants life? Also, do you place the plant in total darkness for 24-48 before harvesting? Some sites say this increases THC. I'm looking forward to seeing buds. None yet.

Rats, I thought the filter didn't matter where it was vented since it was just removing odor. Oh well, time for a little reengineering. I already have a 4 inch duct fan in place so I could just add a flexible 4' duct from the filter to the duct fan. I'll sort it out. Sounds good about...

Robro, today my "plant 1" is 36 days old. In the last 6 days she has gone from 6.5 inches tall and 13.5 inches wide to 13.5 inches tall and 25 inches wide. What a burst of size. The leaves look really good now with little or no downward curvature. I did a little research on the web...

Yes, the smell issue is worrisome. My grow room is right below an attic space and since we are in a townhouse area it might be difficult for someone to pinpoint where the smell is originating but I'm really hoping to solve the smell issue without venting into the attic. I've seen several...

Hey Robro, well Christmas came early for me. My grow tent arrived a day early so I've been busy setting it up. I adding some pics to give you an idea of the contents of this 3'x3'x68" tent. It's been a lot of fun. I wanted to make it as adaptable/interchangeable as possible so opted...

Day 33 of the AK47 auto grow and plant seems to have exploded with new and maturing growth. She's up to about 11 inches tall and now extends beyond the 18 inch diameter round seven gallon pot. When I peel back the outer leaves even the inner portions of plant have some healthy growth...

That's very interesting about how you move branches around. I'm going to give that a try. I have so many fan leaves that I can't see how light can penetrate the outer layer. Just by tucking these leaves I've been able to let new growth access to light but your wire trick might do a better...

Rebro et al, I have hit a snag trying to move from posting here in "plant problems" area to posting in the JOURNAL area. Apparently images need to point to a URL instead of just being copied into the post (like here in "plant problems"). Until I can figure out how to accomplish this...

Rebro, I'm going to start making all my updates over in the JOURNAL area. Please search for "pirate43a" to find my JOURNAL entries. I've taken screenshots of my Excel spreadsheet with all the things I've done so far, including the suggestions you have made. I'll add my pics to the...

Robro, plant continues to grow nicely. Now up to 10 inches tall and 19 inches wide. Amazing, they really do grow like weeds. I've placed an order for a 3'x3' by 6'8" tall grow tent which I'm told should arrive around December 20th. I need to check out other folks setups since I think...

Here are a few pics. Let me know what you think. Leaves are starting to spill out of the pot.

Yep, auto Blueberry sounds like a good match. Overnight my plant had a growth spurt and is now up to 9.25" tall (up 1.25") and 18 inches wide (up 2") and leaves have noticeably straightened out. I did an inspection and am reasonably sure I'm noticing preflower pisillates. I bought a...

10 weeks from start to finish sound really good to me. By chance have you ever obtained auto blueberry seeds that grow "start to finish" in about 10 weeks? If so, which seedbank? 2.5 months seems like a very favorable timeframe. I mentioned auto blueberry since it gets good reviews...

the link you provided was great and I've bookmarked it for future reference. I realized after I looked back over your suggestions that you mentioned 150 ppm for this mornings feeding and I fed the little gal 401 ppm. My bad. Instead of reflushing I'm going to wait and see. Do you...

I'll take a look at your link above next but I wanted to catch you up on this mornings activities. I did a 1 gallon mini-flush with 6.5 pH water only. The runoff registered 6.9 pH with 132 ppm. I then mixed up a 401 ppm concentration of nutes in 6.4 pH water and gave about a half...
