BKB's 2nd Grow

Illumination said:

Now this is just my opinion and not bashing on anyone's choices...but clearex is only sugar water...chemically there is nothing that helps release salt ionic bonds in it...this is the actual thing it does...it binds nitrogen and makes it almost completely unavailable to the plant...this makes the plant look lighter or even yellow causing one to perceive it as"Oh they are yellowing quickly so the clearex must really work good at clearing out the salts". The water alone will remove more salts as it has a higher capacity to hold the dissolved salts as it doesn't already have sugar dissolved in it...but the sugar will bind with the remaining N blocking it so therefore it looks like it leached more out when in fact it did not

This is why I asked you to up the molasses in your drowning water as to see if it would speed the yellowing and to know if it added or subtracted anything in the final product ...

Hope it helps...

Yeah I did to 2 tablespoons, you think I should go even more than that? I changed it yesterday and it was a fucking mess. But I did add a total of 6 Tablespoons to 3 gallons. Shit looks like she is drowning in oil!!! LOL Black Oil.. Yes her fan leaves as showing signs of yellowing already, not much but the tint is there. I would take pics of her right after the lights go out so I can get a real color pic of her today.

Quick Drowning update:

I added 3 more Tablespoons of Molasses to the mix. She is definetly pulling some serious "N" out. She is yellowing all over and also getting the clawing of the leaves too. All looks good!!

Yes I am learning a lot too about the Molasses drown, I didnt know that Molasses blocked out "N", with that in mind Lumi, is it really wise to use Molasses until the very end of Flowering? I think that might be the problem with my OG Herojuana plant that is showing yellow fan leaves and I have given her "N" and still her fan leaves are yellowing? Damn it funny how you learn different things in growing by trying something new. I am really excited about smoking the R.Ed Kush to see what the final product is like....

Hey BKB, I just got the address to where the voting will be taking place for the AUTO FLOWER MORTAL COMBAT COMPETITION. To make the competition fair, we all had to wait until the address was posted I'm asking that you and anyone else that would like to check out and support not only my Joni "Warrior Destroyer" but all the participants in the competition, click on the link below. It should be very entertaining https://www.rollitup.org/general-marijuana-growing/419988-auto-flowers-mortal-combat-competition.html THANKS BKB!!

illumination thanks for all the knolidge you tend to spread around, its appreciated by newbees like myself that dont have the applied experience you do. imsure bkb would agree hes learning buckets from u as well as u from him. i think thats called a win/win situation lol we should all be so luckey.

4tat,
Tell me about it, these experienced growers on here have got me and my plants to where I am today. The best part about it is that I never knew anyone on here or ever met anyone on here and yet growers on here took me in and took their personal time away from their business and grows to help me out and understand the basics of growing. I trust these growers on my thread because every time I ran into a problem with my grow they are always there to help me fix my problem and teach me where I went wrong. I dont need to list names here but just look at my threads and you will see the people that are there day in and day out helping, teaching, mentoring, motivating and supporting me with growing. I will always try to help someone because its my way of giving back of what was given to me...KNOWLEDGE!!! Finally the luckiest thing I think I am getting out of here are real true friends, my bros on here know who they are and really know that I appreciate them. Got mad love for you all on my threads!!!

Peace All

Aww shucks...it ain't nothin(kicks a rock and dirt)

Glad to share

Namaste'
ONE LOVE

BKB you pretty much hit the nail on the head with that! I know that I would prolly have some sick maybe weak and dying plants if I wasn't able to get the help from people on this site! It just goes to show you that in the world we live in with all the fucked up shit going on there are still people that are willing and love to help people out! I hope that one day I'll be able to return the favor that many of you have givin me and be able to share all the knowledge that i've gathered from here! Its good to be able to just put up a post with a problem that you're having, and no that within a few hours (or shit even a few minutes) you'll have someone who's prolly already had that problem know exactly what to do =)

I couldnt agree more fella's! I was so in the dark about growing my 1st grow.had a lotta problems too.which is how ended up@riu. Didnt save my sik plant,but i met all you!fair trade imo.

I chopped my R.Ed Kush plant just now, its time to trim her up and I will post pics later. I am really stoned off my ass right now so I will do it after I enjoy this high!!!! LOL

This North Carolina - Kentucky game is turning out to be a thriller!!!!!

Peace

BKB

Hey BKB, congratulation on chopping the R.Ed Kush plant. I know you can't wait to smoke some Joni leaves have finally started turning yellow. She seems to have stop drinking the water, I'll see if the water level has changed. If the level is the same on Monday, I'm chopping her

Now I will let her dry up and right before going in the jar for curing, I will sample immediately to see how and if the bud is cured and smooth. I will keep you all posted on that. I would finally like to thank my man Billcollector for giving me this plant, thanks homey!

Peace

BKB

That looks like it's going to do you right when smoked. Nice trim job too by the way.

I hope so....some things that I noticed about the whole drowning with molasses:

1- Gave off a fowl odor in the bucket after 2 days.
2- My bud's smell changed completey. Went from a Kushy Pine-sol smell to a fresh melon/cantelope type smell.
3- The plants cola was very dense and thick 4 days ago when I started the drowning and today she seemed to be a little squishy on top. Almost like flimsy, not solid like it was. That was the main reason I chopped her today cause I didnt want it to make the whole cola like that...Honestly I dont know why it would do it other than saying hey I am dead.
4- The Plant sucked up more than regular water and she also turned yellow very fast but no crazy purpling or anything like that. I didnt drop the temps low cause I didnt want to invite PM.
5- She really didnt get that much more frost on her than what she had already.
6- She seemed to pack alittle more weight on the bud

But the biggest reason of why I did this test is for a better cured bud smoke, so as soon as its dry and before I put in the jar for curing I will sample and give a full smoke report on my test.

Peace
