I grow in a hydro system (Emily's Garden from Hydrofarm). It's a passive system (wick) and I use distilled water (only a 2 gallon res., so I use about 3 gallons a week with top offs). I add hydrogen peroxide to my water to increase the amount of oxygen in the water for healthier roots and also to keep bacteria down. Do you think those tabs would be better than the peroxide? I am on my very first grow and have messed up A LOT!! Killed like six seedlings before finally getting my act together. I now have 5 healthy plants.?

I think that the tablets could help, how much i am not sure exactly, but i think a small pump would actually be 100% better.
Im very adamant about my water as well a how its delivered to my plants. Its something that have spent a great deal of time on to perfect. I think that if the res is pH balanced and you run a air line into that res i think you will notice a good deal of change. It may just perk up the growth rate.

Hey HBS I have a ph tester and you are supposed to keep the electrode thingy in a solution. Every time I turn mine on I test it in solution before testing any water and calibrate if necessary. I found that the first dozen or so time I used it I had to calibrate, now not so much. I have a Milwaukee PH51 if that helps. Also you should check the manufacturer's website for a manual in English.
Click to expand...

No luck in finding the Manufacurer's website. I did however find a video about my tester on youtube that was just as useless as the operation manual. I eventually found some random forum where there was a chick in the same boat as me. I learned everything I need to know about it except how often I should calibrate. Mine does not need to be kept in solution. They do recommend that I soak it in distilled water once a month for 12 hours.

So where do you get your solution and how much does it cost? They said to use new solution every time. Mine only came with 2 packs of solution (6.86 and 4.00) If I am going to have to calibrate it before every use. I can see this getting somewhat pricey.

FullD....see these...the Only crosses in my grow I'm disappointed about.....:-P

These are from the Original Crown Heads..the accelerated budder...
I wanted a couple of non-af's to try to pick up the trait...
and what did I get....
More bloody AF's...

By..some people are just unlucky that way..eh...?.......:fire:

BTW..that means I have Black Line AF's out in F1..f2 (bx) and f3..all in the same grow cupboard..
gives a good guide on what you are rolling In..
or losing..as you go.
Click to expand...

I dont see it as unlucky at all maybe one of them will have the trait. I know that they are small but they could have that gem of a trait waiting on you:)

Think of it this way you are getting to see all versions that you may encounter.
this is giving you more options to breed with :) and its providing all kinds of info on pheno's as well as all the progress is there like you said as a reference point

thank you my friend

Bloody marvelous my M8........:clap:
I hope she is a Beast..
Click to expand...

I know i couldnt believe it. Im getting better at having and idea of what they are before they are. Its kinda nice. I mean there is nothing to worry about for a week even though I ID'd the male i may let him grow out a little more to see if he shows any color

Good news to...although..fancy being a male called Bad Betty..he will get a complex...:oops:
Do you think we should call the males Bad Barrys..?
Click to expand...

It only seems fair to call him Barry, i would develop a complex as well
or at least be a little confused haha

Got a tric trait for you to watch if you want the Cross out on ICU#2
White Russian and JEM make a good cross.
Click to expand...

Hmm i wonder what that might be, is that the self colored one i have seen before?
or is there something more.

It's good when it comes together.
Click to expand...

Yes indeed it makes things feel good in the grow adds a great vibe if you will. I hoping the other three show sex today. I know that one is about to i can see the additional growth at the node but its too small still to see weither or not its male of female




I Think I know what you are gonna say..so I won't spoil it..although hey......:fire:
But..
I think I have 1 exception
Click to expand...

Oh come on do share :)
Lets play a game What i have noticed has happened on every male i have seen
and its where the new leaves form from the middle, any ideas?


Pssttt..............................................lean in..here is a Tip on the AF book......

PESTER FullD....:fire: :fire: :fire:
Click to expand...

ahh my friend :) you let the cat out of the bag :)

And yes i am working on a book gentlemen, dealing solely with AF's. Im getting it together as we speak, still a ton of info i need to add. I may do 2 and split it who know :)

FD: Looks like just a couple were closer to the "tipping point" than the rest... some are just barely showing signs and some are full-blown indicative.:wall:
Click to expand...

Id have to agree my foggy friend. looks like there were a few that were more sensitive to it than the rest. Isn't it funny how some react and others delt with it ok? Goes to show you the wide variety that can still be found in the same blood line.

I think with the flushe's you should be fine. One thing that i would recommend is maybe a mist or spray to kinda clean off any residue left on the affected plants leaves. Just to make sure that you removed the issue and they have a clear fresh source of water on there leaves.

On another note... curious if the tap root hitting bottom triggers flowering.. Then why is this plant not flowering? Cuz the tap definetly hit the bottom... How long from hitting bottom to flowering signs?
Click to expand...

Nothing like a live test my friend. Take note of what day that root hit bottom and then see when it shows sex. Im not sure it its when the tap hits or when i starts pooling. Even though i grow in smaller pots than most my tap will not pool at the bottom. With the high levels of o2 in the water it allows for the main tap to go down and then heavy root branching. I have yet to pull a root mass out and see a circled root pattern on the bottom.

So this makes me wonder what the actual trigger is. If you dont see sex in the next few days then id say it happens when it pools, but then again mine dont pool and i sex pretty much same time every time.

Oh the theories.

I do have a pump and two airstones in the res. I just add the peroxide for extra oxygen and bacteria control. I have read lots of posts where more experienced growers reccommend doing so. I just thought the tabs might be better! Thanks for the input! :weed:

hey you got it, and that peroxide is great for res fungus control. One thing i'll let you in on is that with all the o2 that is running in the res it keep bacteria to a minimal with in its self. Then adding the peroxide adds another layer of protection
think of it as a condom and the pill :)
 
So on another note i do have some good news
Last night as i was preparing to smoke i grabbed some train wreck
put it in the grinder and what do i find....3 lonely seeds :)
Nice and mature tiger stripped beauties

Mossy i think there is gonna be some JEM in a wreck soon......

in regards to the flush... the leaves got a real good wash when I flushed... also when I water I usually give them a little rinsy rinsy... love the look of a hot wet stinky leaf!

General Hydroponics sells some standard reference solution for calibration of pH meters and electrode storage. Here check this link. I use these guys when I'm feeling too paranoid to go to the hydro shop.

Just wondering if anyone in here has tried growing any of the 7 dwarfs seed line.?. i just ordered a few strains from them called gigantes which is a white widow crossed with runderalis and also the trojan which says it is NYC diesel crossed with lowryder#2 and the original lowryder. thought i would try those for something different and also i ordered the short stuff onyx as i have heard good things about it.

Yup..harder still I think working on small phenos...I have a pair of glasses upstairs now..
had to give in to old age.

No m8...JEM's Leaf trics are irregular/chaotic..
But...
WR has a very distinct/ordered tric leaf pattern.
When you look at the small fans..
watch for trics that form banks..
between the leaf viens..like battalions of soldiers..
That will be a Good Cross.

It is what I used in part to enhance JEM to ALF#3
