Just found out the water im using has fucken flouride in it, im crying because there's no way in hell i can afford the online options for flouride removal from water. Now i realize why i cant achieve my max potential maybe? I'd love to hear your guys take on this. I wont lie i feel like ive just been licked by a horse....20 years without realizing the damn water had this in it!
almost all water provided by a town or city has flouride in it. not sure the effects it has on plants but it will make their teeth stronger!! lol

im sure theres some articles out there for you to research it.

Hey guys wassup? Hope everyone is doing well in this wonderful day :). So as I said the other day I finally have a couple harvest under my belt. Thing is that in drying the suckers I noticed something strange. Two of my colas had the top half of them get really crunchy dry almost al the way thru And then the bottom half of it was still really really moist. I was scared to let it go any longer as the rest of the plant was ready to go. Now every time I burp the jars all is moist again BUT the top half of those 2-3 nugs. They don't get moist like the others do but it does get softer. Any thoughts as to why half of a nug would dry so much more then the other half?

oh well fellas i just made a tough decision but i think it was the correct one.

i had a tent with 6 plants in, all 5ft+ beasts!.
4 super lemon haze and 2 space bombs, i am looking for one keper out the 6 and i think i might have 2 so not doing bad on that front.

anyway i just went to water them (roughly 8 weeks in) and the slh at the front right hand corner just didn't have any buds on it, i mean none!. i looked at the rest of the plants in there and they are all pretty similar in development, some have a few red hairs but i'd say less than 2 weeks between all of them.

i mean this plant had a tonne of resin on it and smelled heavenly but nothing in the form of buds!, i pondered for a few seconds then just thought, you've had it you little fucker, cut it down snapped it up and put it in the bin.

i wasted four months on it and never even bothered to hash it, what a waste.

onwards and upwards to better things, the other plants have moire room now and will get a little bit fatter because of it.

has anybody ever done anything similar?
Yes I've had to do it and it upset me but hey it's better then having to buy your own bud so I look at it as an experience and will only make me better and just sometimes you get that one pheno and it's total shit.

My grandma grew some sort of geraniums in her front yard that were super fuzzy.
So did mine but these weren't flowers they were simply just leaves that were fuzzy lol.

i have a plant that got burned by chlorine, in flower right now. flouride i havent tangled with yet, at least knowingly. chlorine is bad enough.

ugh im super torn on wither or not to chop one of the 4 stems on my bubba...


any opinions would help...DSCF0203.jpgDSCF0204.jpgDSCF0205.jpgDSCF0206.jpgDSCF0207.jpg im thinking about cutting that shortest branch, which is also the lowest branch of the four, to let the other 3 grow better. this plant is very apically dominant or whatever thats called. i should have never tried to coax it out to have multiple tops.

you guys think hackin off that branch would disturb that plant significantly? im not used to taking off main branches on fairly far along plants. and im about to flower it as well so im geussing if i do cut it i should veg the plant a few extra days. what do ya'll think? im afraid to even mess with the thing since it grows so slow, but has such valuable smoke.

well water can have it too just an fyi! from what ive read anyway's. Ive done some reading today on this alot actually. It took two fires on the ole ballast again to get it to fire the bulb GULP, i have a distinct feeling its time to replace the ole sunsystems 600! sucks too cause i got another 6-7 weeks of flowering i wanna do, ill cross my fingers.......going in deep to show you suspected flouride damage on one plant container and to just show the dogs and med man doing what they do reaching for the tube! be back with em in 10.

I would transplant into a bigger container and allow it to veg for a spell before flower. The plant looks fine, good actually :-)

If you do end up cutting the lowest one off, you should clone it for a quick follow-up plant to that one.
As it is 25% of the plant's vegetation, it will hardly notice it if you cut it.

I would leave it alone, since it so close to the average canopy height.
I'd actually start tying the other one's down to it's level.
But any way you go will be just fine.

*edit: and like whodat says: a bigger pot. The plant will close to double in size as it flowers, so the more roots she has before then, the healthier she'll be.

amen to that.
Hell ya I love well water. I will never move back to the city.

hahaha it must of been a generation thing for them cuz my gma was the same way!

well water can have it too just an fyi! from what ive read anyway's. Ive done some reading today on this alot actually.

Yep it can have it in the but it's in such small amounts compared to what is in the cities. Where I grew up we had to have 3 water treatment plants just to make our water safe as they found out it contained a bunch of bad shit. Here on the farm I don't run into that. I simple turn on the faucet and fill up my jugs and it falls in the low 6's after adding my nutes.

its not possible. i just dont have the room. if it gets transplanted, it gets flowered.

and im thinking about hacking the lowest stem. this thing DOES NOT like being topped, ime. i only tried it for the sake of getting more bud cuz o the way pre98 likes to grow.
so im torn on wether or not hacking that stem would just stunt the thing a bit instead of speed up the other 3 stems growth.

and its not really rootbound or anything... when its transplanted its going into 5 gal bucket, just not filled all the way. id prefer a smaller container but atm it aint happening. besides this thing likes it dry, so i plan on using a TON of perlite in this particular container. that works well for plants with low irrigation tolerance imo.


thx whodat. ive been real careful with this one. im also wanting to breed with it.

im not sure why i didnt think about tying down the tallest branch. see why i asked? thx guys. i agree with what ya'll have said too. i just dont have much veg room.
