Get the ole water pale ready there gonna really start drinking Now!
Hope you rinsed the perlite....I use FFOF and imo you really dont need it,Drains
real good.
Beech
As far as them drinking Beech, you ain't NEVER lied!
Haha today is only two days since I last watered them and the Blue Widows leaves are starting to ask....So I'm about to start the ACT today here soon.
I also topdress with a tsp of BG like you suggested as well as a tsp of Kelp and they've exploded! So that's this weeks variable! The BG and Kelp topdressing!
Thanks for the help Beech! Trying to surround myself with an army of "cannasuiseurs" here, and I'm SO GRATEFUL to have you around!
Brings my joy to reply to most of these messages here and walk in an peep on my girls haha! Joy.....that's a word not used to often!
Don't remember when I last used it.......
Thanks for you part of bringin' the joy captain!
But It's crazy man! Just a couple weeks ago I could go 5 days before my plants drooped and asked for water...
And nahhh I didn't rinse the perlite damn....I never have...I've always just mixed it in and used it...So...from this point on I will sir.
I'm guessing just to get rid of anything included with it before introduction to my soil huh?
And usually I would have used 25% perlite which would have been roughly 40 cups of it, but I ran out after 10 cups haha. Maybe 10 and some change...but not 11.
So I kinda added some, but didn't really ya know? I've been under the impression that 25% perlite is the standard for good aeration, so I hadn't deviated much from that until now. And I got perlite with no nutes added so I think thats the difference.
During my first grow op I got that advise that MG perlite was supplemented and that I shouldn't use it for that reason.
Well now I know I can use it...just need to rinse it.. And theres the help again that I mentioned above! I'm grateful

God damn dude, I remember thinking they looked good in veg...
You're definatly one of the masters at small light growing! Nice work dude
haha I appreciate you bro! I hope I end up a master or the short bush haha! Can't say I am YET, but thanks for the respect ha.
At this rate, surrounded by all the ppl we are(all the help and experience), we could both me masters in NO TIME! This with a little application of self of course!
But I do think xp0c and Concord Dawn deserve to be interrogated for their ways of growing lol. They've done WORK with CFLs if you haven't see em' yet bro! I've seen A LOT of GREAT CFL grows on here. There isn't a better gang of CFL growers ANYWHERE on the net.
+rep for the RIU small light camp

I'm gonna say it only matters when you use the MG perlite as there are nutes available in it.
If I'm wrong I'm sure Beech will take care of that

SO.....Wash you perlite for a few reason:
-All the dust from the unwashed perlite tends to collect in the bottom of the pots, and can make some sorta plaster form at the bottom, which traps nutes and causes PH probs.
&
-MG perlite had nutes in it.
Anything I missed we should add haha?!
I found this link tho, which makes since to me and sums up the things that I've read briefly...
http://www.botanicare.com/Perlite-W69.aspx <-A good enough reason to rinse your perlite! Also like Beech said...just Google it and see what you see..
Wish I would've known before...But oh well, I know now.
The beauty of it is tho...I read a few posts where ppl never rinsed and never had issue...So hopefully I'm one of those who won't have issues.
But I'll be rinsing from NOW ON..
But yeahh thanks for the 1000th time already lol. I know it's getting repetitive now, but I know a lil thanks goes a long way in interpersonal relationships!
Mama was a HELL OF A WOMAN

After ALMOST 3 DAMN WEEKS..........I JUST GOT my quart of Ona Fresh Linen.
DO NOT ORDER THIS-> http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000BS6RKS/ref=oh_details_o01_s00_i00
I paid for it on Dec 29, 2012 and my girl just picked it up from our other apt today Jan 18,2013.
I waited a week after the order was supposed to be here to ask where it was....Got a swift but BS response....
"we don't know where it is"...then "it was lost and we'll send you another"...
Good thing about it is that they did send another quickly....But it still took FORRRRRREVVVERRRRRR damn!
My seeds crossed the ocean before my Ona could cross country....WTF is up with logistics these days lol

Good job!! Thanks never get old........Like the ole saying if momma aint happy no ones Happy!!
I seem to retain info better if I have to look......But im getting old.
Disadvantages: The lightweight nature of the volcanic rock used to make perlite means that it floats in water which can clog drains and pumps. Perlite has almost no cation exchange capacity so it cannot hold nutrients in reserve. The relatively brittle nature of perlite's composition creates dust from shipping and handling that must be rinsed prior to use. Most perlite comes from mines in Turkey making it a less than sustainable product than materials that are locally sourced.

I use too care about Reps,but to be honest has nothing really to the ability of a grower.
When you can Rep in TNT,Politics,etc.
To me its about being funny or posting alot of pics,of a grow.Tht gets more reps then ppl really helping someone,Which is sad.
I vote for Test every 6months,to make us keep learning about this Fantastic plant tht has saved my live,and others.
Imo breeding is really starting to show alot of improvements,And thts a good thing,Cause without good Genetics you
have nothing!

My biggest reward would be considered as one of the good PPL, tht takes ppl and kinda mentors them threw alot of things i have done wrong.
My mistakes cost me a Fortune,and i take alot of pride in trying too help to the best of my ability,
To not make some of the mistakes.
Im rewarded by the excitement i see from new ppl,and kinda relive the memorys of those days.
Just like 420s cardboard reflector,I used a Bigass aliminum Turkey pan as a reflector back when CFLs
just came out,2 42w per pan,Heh it worked great,LOL

Ah the memories...the good old days how I miss them sometimes. Shit use to be so much simpler then it is now. I mean don't get me wrong I'm glad the way MMJ is becoming mainstream and we are finally out of the dark and moving forward but shit somethings just suck from what they use to be.
Oh and I remember when I was rocking a black light growing hahah.

Heyyy gimme maybe till the end of the year haha! Hopefully I'll have bred something by then! Esp will the help of RIU army haha
And yeahh you can't take it too serious...After all it means nothing...But I think every good post deserves some rep! I feel I've been pretty good about spreading it around as far as only giving it to good posts...But I've also returned ppls rep just because it's a friendly thing to do ya know...
So when I say you deserve some rep......DAMN IT YOU DESERVE SOME REP lol!
And hey, being able to make a complete stranger laugh kinda deserves some rep haha...Or being able to make a strangers day with a helpful post...Rep that haha!
And we conditionally trained from childhood to notice that we're all different..So when you can relate with someone it's a good thing..That euphoric feeling you get when you connect with someone is the way it is because we don't experience it enough ya dig?? This in my personal experience atleast.
I got a family of friends which includes you! SO TAKE THAT REP HAH!
J/k lol but I do indeed understand whatcha mean sir
