So I had to pull a male today, and can't believe to roots! It's one of the plants I pt in the aquarium gravel/ insulation mix and it was doing great, to bad it was a male. Roots over doubled in size since it was transplanted from the soil and never seen roots so white. Took a few cuttings in...

So there's the two big budda that got put in the 2ltr gravel/ insulation mix. Looks like it's gona work good. Also using a wood ash tea as ph up and bloom booster in all plants. Only been a few days but it seems to work well. Was using sodium hydroxide befor and led to ph problems later on in...

I was using sodium hydroxide and it led to ph issues at the end of flowering and have lot of hardwood ash from the winter. Trying to find a diy ph down with things I have around and the wood ash seemed like a good idea. It adds extra calcium micros and p/k. Making a tea with it that I've been...

So I mixed it up then strained threw a coffee filter. There is still some sediment but it is very fine so didn't think it would matter. I didn't mix it very strong just a few table spoons, I put a drop in a vile with water and ph indicater and it didn't move a bit after a couple hours. Took a...

I know wood ash can be added when mixing soil, but what about making a solution out of it and using as ph up for my water/nutes. I use maxibloom and am looking for a better way to raise the ph while added a little extra calcium bc I use rainwater. Has anyone tried this befor? best breakdown of...

yea I watered enough to moisten the gravel and it perked right up. I'm gona put another one in the gravel insulatin mix to see what happens u till I get perlite. For this one I'm just going to have to moisten daily

So just checked that plant and it is all droopy. Color is fine it's just limp mostly tops of each branch

Thanks shiva, they are about 3 weeks. They were like 5 inches with tight nodes but when I put it in the hempy and tied it down it blew up in just 24 hours even though the transplant from promix. Hopefully it's female bc it's the nicest out of the 6 big budda. But I would like to thank every one...

So the gravel alone worked better then I thought. Roots are already in the res and drinking and the plant looks better then ever. Just over 2 week old big budda from seed. Transplanted into the aquarium gravel hempy from promix

So I sanatized the gravel then got occupied in something for a few hours and it was still wet so used only the gravel in this bucket and after only a few hours it looks better then befor. I'm going to do another with the fiberglass mixed in just to see what happens bit think aquarium gravel...

I understand what you mean about it be abrasive but do you really think it's gona affect roots that way? I was thinking about using it about 10:1(gravel:ins) just something to help hold a small amount of moisture.

So I am about to experiment making a hempy bucket with only househould items. I am going to make a 2ltr hempy with aqaurium gravel in the bottom and a gravel/ fiberglass insulation mix to fill the rest. Any thoughts on this? Both items are compley inert and will be sanatized. My thought was the...

So a couple plants are nearing harvest. They are covered in red hairs but have minimum trics. Seeds from local grower unknown strain but the bud was good. Any ideas? Havnt looked under a scope but I will take pics under a scope soon as I can. By eye u can see some very small trics but not like...

I have heard both views on flushing and it makes sense that it is not needed bc of how nutes are transported in the plant. I have flushed all my prior grows to be safe but may keep feeding this run to test any differences. Does it really not matter? Even if using chem nutes(maxi bloom)? And I...

Any advise?? Think I should feed one more time then start flushing.. Week 8 starts Monday, unknown strain believed to be sativa dom but starting to show amber trics.. Any thoughts??

Sorry to bring bring up an old post but the lense outa laser pointer works great.. I use a hair pin(bobby pin) to hold it against the camera lense. This was taken with a itouch which has no zoom.

If you take the lense out of a laser pointer and hold it over camera lense it works great.. That was on a itouch

What do you think?? Didn't think it was near ready but looks like amber trichs

Next water I need to check run off.. Should I drop the ph down to 5.8. I thought that soilless fell between hydro and soil

It's def not heat relate, temps are fine.. I was watering at 7.0 last run and kept having nute problems after a couple weeks but looked fine at this stage. Had someone say promix is soilless and should be watered at 6.. Girls in flower are getting 6.0 and seem very happy with it
