After further study and research I think that my adding the floralicious line to my system is what actually set this whole thing off. The organics fucked things up. Apparently, from what I can tell, the ph and (what I thought was root rot) is actually brown slime. Apparently, it loves organics...still researching but my best bet is the floralicious since it is organic.

I found a great thread about it on another site, link is below:

I will be picking up some Physan 20 ASAP, I will also be taking the floralicious out of the mix.

Not much to comment on CK, but I have never seen "So Gouda"....is this some sort of Cheese bastardisation from Holland?

lol, no worries.

Actually, I am really nervous about going beyond the normal 3 part gh that has served me well to this point.

I did a nute change today and the romulan took a turn for the worse.

Not real sure why. All the rest of the girls are looking happy, cept for her. Droopy leaves, branches "weeping"

Kinda on the edge of my seat at the moment....

Okay, res change today. Now officially using the entire GH line up. My nutes are as follows:

Flora gro: 10
Flora Micro: 5
Flora Bloom: 5
Diamond Nectar: 10
Floralicious grow: 5
Flora Shield : 30
H & G Roots Exelurator: 1

This recipe is per gallon and all measurements are in Mils

This was PH'd to 5.9

My outdoor girls are out and potted. I am supplementing the 10 hours of daylight with 8 hours of CFL light.

I am running two cuts of trainwreck, one in a hempy bucket, the other in soil. I should really run the 3rd in my hydro setup but I want to save my 6th pot for the strains I am looking for.

Feeling rather tired tonight. Need to clean up, smoke one and relax.

CK
did you get your measurements from the G-H website calculator? How did you determine how much Diamond nectar to use? Do you add any Cal -Mag?

Nice! You will know for sure if its worth it or not since you have had so much experience without the full lineup already. I am looking forward to seeing the results and hearing what you think. Especially with the roots!

I remember asking you a lot of questions about fertilizing, it gave me, and still does here and there, a real hard time. I finally got a nice poop soup mixture setup for the hydro. Posted the nutrient mixture up on my new journal too if you want to check it out.

Anyways, time to finish catching up on your journal, glad things are going so damn well for you buddy :bigjoint:

I used the nute table from my old waterfarm setup used previously.

The floralicious is a definitely a no go for me.

Well, I was working all day in the garden. I had to make a tough choice regarding the romulan. She is just too damn tall, and grows too damn fast for me to grow indoors. So, I decided she had to go.

I took an 8 pack of clones from her, and chopped her down. Her siblings will populate my outdoor garden once they have developed some nice roots.

I also did some routine pruning. Mostly dead or dying leaves from the powdery mildew situation I am still battling. Another dose of my PM killer should solve it.

The garden seems happier with the romulan out of there. The airflow seems better and the light isnt being monopolized by the rom. all in all, I think it was a good choice.

I will flip to 12/12 in a week or two, depending on how the purple diesel develops, she is the shortest of the 5 and needs to catch up.

So, my indoor girls are as follows:

Blue dream
Purple diesel
Grand Daddy Purple
Querkle
Sogouda

My nursery

Lemon skunk (GH)
Chocolope (DNA) (praying its a boy, SO chocolaty)
Hashberry (mandala)
LA woman (DNA)
White rhino (GH)

Outdoor

Querkle
Trainwreck
OG Kush
Kryptonite
Odyssey

I found a new favorite strain. She is called purple princess. I have searched for seeds but it may be a clone only strain. I guess I will have to make another dispensary hunt.

Pictures to follow tomorrow, got a migraine and aint in the mood to photograph....

The garden overall



This is the GH Lemon Skunk, 3 weeks from seed



This is the DNA LA Woman, 3 weeks from seed



This is the DNA Chocolope, 3 weeks from seed and already super chocolatey



This is the GH Great White Shark, 1 week from seed




This is the Mandala Hashberry, 1 week from seed



Next up are my hydro girls, just 10-14 days away from 12/12 as well as a single soil girl.

These have been vegging for a month or so, too lazy to look at the start of this log.

First up, the soil girl, So Gouda by Soma


This is the Purple Diesel, a clone from Harborside in Oaktown, got hit hard from the brown slime and is just now recovering



This is the GDP, also from Harborside




This is the Blue Dream, from Harborside




This lovely lady Is the Querkle clone from Cafe Blue Sky



Another shot of the garden overall




These last two are shots of the Romulan clones I took before chopping her down.






All is going well, the energy in the garden is alot better without the dominating vibe of the Rom.

Really looking forward to the coming weeks and the switch to 12/12...I can almost smell the flowers now.

Hey bro I finally caught up on your journal and am way excited as always. What is nice about your grow is I know you will finish it and produce some quality nugs in the process. Your latest pics look really good too, especially for how many plants you have to fit into a small area.

I have used AN in the past, and I just don't think I was skilled enough at the time to use it as I was pretty good at burning my plants with it. Since switching to Botanicare's mostly organic Pro line I haven't experienced the burn problems I had in the past, and the shelf life of my Botanicare nutes seem to last longer at a cheaper price. Thats about all I can really say about either though since I haven't used different nutrients in controlled test environment, blah blah blah.

What is this Querkle strain? Purple Erkle and something? Have you decided if you are going to stay with GH nutes or not?

Thanks for reminding me about taxes :bigjoint:

So..it was bound to happen...after many good runs, I had to completely scrap my hydro girls.

Between the brown slime issues and height issues, I had to cut my losses rather than produce a bunch of substandard smoke. It does kind of suck, a whole freakin month wasted.

But, on the bright side, I learned a valuable lesson, when you change things, do it in small increments, always run a test bucket and done get over excited about strains.

To celebrate this series of epiphany, I celebrated by ordering some new seeds from Sanni's . I went with the Herijuana and the chocolate rain, already looking forward to their arrival.

Querkle is a TGA/subcool strain, I cant find the link to a post he did about it but here is the link for the profile from the attitude:

http://www.cannabis-seeds-bank.co.uk/tga-subcool-seeds/tga-subcool-seeds-querkle/prod_1172.html

I am sticking with GH, have had some financial setbacks and can't really afford the AN line right now...perhaps sometime...just not today ;)




To Raider fan:
Thanks for the compliment, this thing is a beaut, check out the post "faded glassworks" in toke & talk, it was blown by fdd, dude can work glass.

The LA woman also sprouted some female preflowers...just waiting on the chocolope!
