Edit: looks like a million posts since I started this post...
And a frosty morgen it is....but hey, it's Friday!
What a pleasant surprise, I didnt know it was friday
not like it makes much difference for me lol, just another bootiefull day.
*I absolutely DO NOT condone police violence or intimidation. Just want to make that totally clear.
Having been on the authoritarian side of the line in foreign countries in both combat roles and performing peacekeeping duties while in-country, it is a matter of maintaining discipline in the face of the unknown and mastering one's fears.
The discipline I refer to is one's self-discipline, and that of fellow officers/soldiers, otherwise things escalate at an alarming rate and that's when people get hurt.
No one should get cracked over the head or stuck in the chest with a police baton unless it is the only way to stop them from hurting/killing someone.
I'm all for peaceful protests & demonstrations.
But bad apples on both sides make violence an almost inevitability in far too many situations.
We, myself especially, have a long ways to go before we evolve to the next level of humanity.
What I meant of my WW3 comment was an ironic & sad view on human nature for things to get out of hand, and usually over nothing of matter.
Happy Friday to all!
Its hard to keep your cool when cops are mixed in the crowd (dressed as protestors) in a peaceful protest, and actually instigating necessary police intervention via the acts of random vandalism. Yeah you all may call BS on that but its true.... They will be the cause of the tipping point, and tipping is actually in someones interests because it gives them perfect reason to declare a police state on the pretenses of an unstable society in need of control. Basic tactics to get someone to destroy themselves,,, quietly push them to the breaking point and when they snap and act illogical they will look like crazy fools in front of everyone, while you sit back and act just as shocked as everyone else.
Hey guys!
So last run at day 28 my WW Hermed on me. So far this run I'm at day 31 and all looks great still. Only thing is that last night I fed them cause ppm was down to 200. So I fed and brought it to 500ppm and today they are all burnt, curled tips.
So my Q is if it's normal to start getting yellowing leaves about half way threw flower? This happened last time too. I don't get why they where looking great and still do but looks like N difficiensy but it can't be that cause it has enough food. PH ranges from 6.0 to 5.8. Roots look amazing and its in DWC. I'm with them now and just got here so if anything is missing in info you may need to answer me please let me know and I'll get it up. I know I'm the worst Q asker but I really want a completely successful flower. To me this doesn't seem right but I could be over reacting... Probably not tho.
Also why would the same exact strain look and taste different? When my boy grows this strain it's finished product is brighter and smells MUCH stronger then mine. He doesn't share secrets. Gready bastard! Any ideas?
Doesn't sound like a friend to me! Its normal, Iv grown the same cuts in soil and dwc both acting and looking very different from eachother.
There are so many variables to consider I cant tell you exactly whats going on but I can tell you what Iv learned from my exp growing in dwc.
This is what I did. (kept plenty of detailed notes everyday.)
I would test the nute solution, lets just say~~
ph~ 5.8
ppm~1300
temp~60 something usually
^^^this is just an example
At the end of the day I would check again and lets say this has happened.
ph~5.1
ppm~1550
This tells me the original solution was too strong, the plants were drinking available water and leaving extra nutes behind.
I dilute with water ph to 7 the result.
ph~6.1
ppm~850
I check again the next day.
Result.
ph~6.5
ppm~735
This tells me 850 is a little too low for this particular strain at this point in time. PH rises and ppm drops.
I adjust again.
This time I drop the ph and rais the ppm.
ph~5.3
ppm~1050
Check at the end of the day.
ph~5.5
ppm~1020
This tells me Iv very close to my target ppm for this particular strain at this point in time. Slight raise in ph and slight drop in ppm. Most of the time this is perfectly fine and would work out good, but Im obsessed.
I adjust.
ph~5.3
ppm~1150
Check the next day.
Result.
ph~5.5
ppm~1147
Thats the sweet spot for sure
(for the particular strain at this point in time)
Ph rising slightly and the ppm practically staying the same.
From this point I will top off every few days with a nute solution at these exact numbers, and I would continue to do so untill I notice a change in the plants diet, depending on the time it may pick up or drop.
So its time to top off.... In the span of three or so days the ph has naturally risen from 5.3 up to 6.3, this is a good thing in my eyes because different nutes are more available at different ph levels,, and the ppm has actually not changed much at all.
So when I top off it would be a solution @ 1450 ppm and I will lower the entire systems ph back down to 5.3 and start all over again.
I hope this helps, but honestly its just what I noticed and acted on when I was growing in my rdwc systems, worked for me.
Different strains can either have very similar feeding habits or drastically different so be careful when mixing strains in one system,,, it without a doubt can be done but only successfully with strains having similar appetites.
Boy that got ye ol' noggin in gear
