yah, i've been peeping robs new show, and it's pretty good.. the one thing i hate about fucking mtv though is that they play the same shows over and over and over and over and...
but yah, ridiculousness is pretty sweet, i always love all of those types of videos of dudes skateboarding or riding bikes or motorcycles getting all fucked up.. i guess it comes from my old skating days.. good stuff though on the whole..
lol for sure, they need some scheduling help.

i just really like seeing people get hurt...i dont feel bad at laughing at other people cuz i laugh when i hurt myself too...well, after it doesnt hurt anymore i mean :)

no shit Rob..i used to have a load of those to keep beans, roaches and if you pack it you can fit 1/8 of weed in there ...i miss em to
fuck yeah man, thats what weed always came in around here back in the day....well, actually thats what all drugs came in lol.

Me too karma. Ask racer I been blabbin his ear off about em since they dropped. I'm surprised they didn't insta sell out.

2/3 Northern lights blue cuts have roots and I will start 2 plushberry cuttings.

Still 0/3 on the legion og but they are green, and I think it should be soon. I think ill be selling my cloner.

takes me like two weeks+ to get roots on my legions.

not great for production if you have a schedule, but i assure you extra dankness+

i've taken to growing legion out in a 3 gal containers & flowering when nice & bushy & after much lst.

*

note the yellow tops on my shit!

wtf?

its either a 1000w vert bleaches the shit out of everything... or im just not fighting some kind of ph, lockout, or defficiency (zinc) properly.

did apps of foliar (calmag & micro). ran properly ph'd water through the containers. ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh... im frustrated.

way annoying not to be 100% on point i tell you.

i have yellow tops (but centers are perfect and green) on two legion bushes & two hash bombs.

the photo above is another legion bush i threw down last night (my favorite pheno too) & you can plainly see how nice she looks.

*

i'll have to check my the composition of my micro (AN) and my calmag+ (dynagro) to see if iron is present & in what amount.

foliar is not helping... but maybe i just need to be patient.
running ph adjusted plain water through the containers... not really noticing any effect.

now im just gonna take a pause & watch them closely.

i'd rather attack the issue & see how they handle my effort ...than keep throwing chems & foliars at them 4 weeks into flower.

i hooked up someone on can*etics with my botanicare calmag+iron cause they were in need & i wasn't.

& to think mr. shapeshifter called me a selfish asshole.

nice right?

hey gud, yellow tops are also caused by big temp swings...do your temps drop more than 15-20 degrees at night? happens to me in the winter, gotta add a heater at night to keep the temps up.

edit - my purple urkle lady had yellow tops for a few days when it was gettin real cold out at night there a week or 10 days ago..she's all back to normal now that the weather kinda straightened out.

just up from the lab.

well, whatever is going on is effecting bud development... getting some red pistles ...and growth over the last week is imo slow.

shit is still stacking... just something to my eye seems off ...so im gonna opt for patience.

with about 75 plants in flower im working all kinds of new techniques.
using mapito (mini rockwool cubes) & using coco & ditching sterile rez in favor of biologically active rez.

not bragging, i dont know too many peeps that can build a new lab, try all kinds of new shit, and still pul weight... but the idea is to stay on top of shit and maximize your skill set.

today i cleaned hoods, glass, wipe down the floor, rotated plants, took cuts, and more.
im involved & proactive cause im testing myself too ;-)

results are looking good for 65 of my childrens... so i have 10 retards... but their my favorite strains.


*

temps in my lab are pretty stable. mid 70s at night ...mid 80s lights on.

even the 1000w vert isnt burning my hand in relationship to the plants... and i have several plants that look awesome.
that's how i know something isnt right inside the container.

i watered hard two days ago. i know in my heart of hearts the ph of my coco containers should be in the proper range.

im actually thinking lockout... maybe from the way i "nutrified" the coco & then began a regimine.
first time i ever used coco so there's a curve.
still, i have other nice looking plants in the same stuff.

see what im saying?

*

i definitely dont think its light bleaching but i've never made a run this way. a few close leaves are bleached but thats nothing to do with my issue. and ill take a few bleached leaves if my light pennetration is bomb.

this set up : 4x4 ebb table on the floor like a huge saucer & a 1000w light over top : is used to flower off moms... and all these plants have given me good cuts & looked stellar in my veg tent.


so im a little stumped.

i honestly think i have some kind of lockout... i know no other way to have lime greeny yellow tops while the rest of the plant looks fine.

bitch maryjane you obsess me ;-)

Yeah Gud botanicare is my shit. Love it.

I use botanicare pure blend pro line. I initially bought pbp grow, bloom, calmag w/ iron and trace minerals, liquid karma, silica blast, hydroplex.

Fuck. in veg I use pbp grow and cal mag. Sometimes superthrive and sweet. In flower I use pbp bloom, cal mag, and I start usin more sweet and less cal magsince calcium buildup can be bad in bloom (doubt it would happen) and they ned less cal and more mag. Sweet is a greeat cheap way to give mag w/o cal and also gives sulfur which is so underrated in importance.

I use hydroplex weks 3 and 5 as bloom booster but I'm not "real organic" anyways.

Since I feed water feed water in coco, and always water with good runoff I never flush the whole grow. And sometimes when I'm not "feeding" I will add a bit of liquid karma to the pure water just for good meausre.

I like the pure blend pro line. When I sample a nug to see how ill chop I never taste "chemicals", I don't like pushing plants to the limit. I'm ok with a tiny burn kust on the very tips of SOME leaves, that's how I know I'm at the right level.

its also very affordable and they are high quality nutes. If I try another nute brand it will be General Hydro flora series.

I use the botanicare coco too, with no rinse. I just mix ph'd water with a few ml/g cal mag +. Done

I can't believe I used to use 6 damn bottles every feeding. Omg. That's the hype I was fed. Then I read someone using the same line as me on icmag saying just use grow and cal mag, so I tried it, not only is it easier on me but I think its better. I was using to many additives not enough grow or bloom ferts.

I'm pretty sure its iron gud. Do they look small, undeveloped and the lines and serrations on the blades are very pronounced and deep?

If your not using cal mag, that is probably your problem. As coco breaks down, K is released as a byproduct of decomposition. K binds with mag. That's why I use cal mag when I first mix my coco from brick. That will help cancel out some of the existing k. Coco is already decomposing before you get it.

Also, use high quality coco or you will have to rinse it for dust and salt. The excess K is a good thing in flower, and in veg since it stimulates root growth, as long s you up the mag a bit. In veg I use cal mag, in flower, you are adding K an the cocos puttin out k. You can use less bloom ferts in coco than other mediums. I also explained how I use more sweet for mag without adding calcium when in flower cuz now there's tons of k lockin up the mag.

So you were right abou the lockout. Id say mags locked. The first pic the yellowing was mainly the growth tips but its spreading. N def the leaves yellow from tips inward, mag def leaves yellow from stem to tips, as pics show.

You did good by flushing a bit I think. Iron won't hurt, I didn't realise you were in coco or I would have made this m first guess lol.

Either way cal mag + (with iron) is good shit.

Also remember, as the coco dries, ph drops rapidly.

well i learned some stuff today.
very nice.

a) do you reccomend always keeping the container moist to keep a more stable ph ...like a dirty version of hydro?

b) i just broke this out the "foliage pro". its the only thing i got with .01% iron. my AN micro has less % : http://www.dyna-gro.com/

i did add 2ml of liquid karma to the above & wet em down.

the micro foliar i did early last week (with liquid kelp) ... broght back any green you can see in those pics.

c) im getting ready to switch to cns17 for my basic nutes (still gonna use dynagro protekt & calmag+ though). any experince?

d) i nutrified the coco (quality block) myself with grow nutes, calmag, bacto, & myco

i could kick myself for helping out a person in need, who'll never do shit for me, with that bottle of botanicare calmag+.

im gonna containue to just feed plain ph water... as i ferted them with beastie blooms somewhere not to long ago.
there has to be too much of calmag or k in my medium.

& i have hit them with calmag (last week) & liquid kelp (this week) foliars too.
all pretty basic shit.
non detrimental stuff... always in proper ratio too.

good thing i got some molassas... so i'll take your advice on that.

dude my headstash weed looks wack... and gud hates when his shit aint right.

ahhhhhh... the curve of learning coco ;-)
