Aqua Man's first grow diary

[Aqua Man]

Also, I consider myself of above average intelligence.... Nothing like reading 5 pages on here to keep me grounded!! Lol my head is spinning from all the knowledge!

I'm just old and had time to gain a lot of useless knowledge and like the trade I came from (millwright) I have a little knowledge about a lot of things.... Just enough to make myself dangerous.... Appreciate the kind words

Huh I was a tool and die maker in my first life.

True, but who should need to know the average length of a juvenile male giraffe's neck is 5 meters in length, or that flamingos are pink only because of the shrimp they eat?? LOL

Tons of zoologists and lots of people interested cuz it’s posted at Busch gardens in front of the animals so they must be important.

A day during which you learn nothing, has been a wasted day!

One should never turn down the opportunity to gain knowledge and insight no matter the subject. Good or Bad LUCK ; is just opportunity meeting preparation, or lack thereof.

Without being too dramatic, I don't believe in "Luck" , or "God" for that matter... I wasn't always like that, however. I was once an ordained minister. I then went to Iraq. First 2 times I was blown up, I prayed... I prayed before and after the next 11 times as well... Good guys died while I lived. I've heard numerous times that I was saved for a reason,that I was "lucky". Luck, however should go both ways, not just bad. Sorry for getting religious or whatever, but you make your own "luck". I do agree that one should try to immerse themselves in knowledge. I do, and that's why I'm on here. I'm a new grower that doesn't (or didn't) know anything about growing tomatoes, much less cannabis. I appreciate the fact everyone here(even the newbies) have something relevant to add, and Don't tear people down. This is hands down the best online activity I've had the pleasure of coming across!

As a Marine I will simply say, agreed and Thank You.!

Hang in there brother, it gets better. Please don't be one of the 22; talk to someone. Love someone. Hug someone.

Peace

Thanks Devil Dog... I've been down the 22 route already and couldn't bring that to fruition either, so I've resigned myself to tending to my garden, smoking copious amounts of MJ, and ordering Everything offline so I don't have to put up with the ignorance infestation in social settings. I appreciate your concern, however!

Lol that is exactly the phase we use. Jack of all trades, master of none. I take you may be a tradesman?

We have very similar views. I was never in the military. I looked into it when I was 18. But being a dropout it was not an option and I had just started a family so going back to finish school was not an option. I am Canadian but I don't really see borders between Canada and the US as anything but a line on a map. I thank you for your service brother. Great buncha people on this site. Hard to find that these days, the world has definitely changed.

Ok we have all 6. Up and ready to plop them in the system probably tomorrow. 1 has a tap root out the bottom. Usually wait a bit longer to put them in but these pellets are much smaller than what I usually use.

System is filled and leak tested and everything thing is ready to go

Temps are 80f
Humidity 80% (will be dropping to 70% once I put em in the system)
They are at 10k lux today up from 5k

Now which 4 do we pick? Lol

i do not like them things,every time ive used them with clones the damn things come out of the soil,i add more soil same thing,i split the bottom open same thing,i had some jedi clones in a 22 gal pot in a closet,filled that damn thing all the way up with soil trying to cover it,at harvest time,the stalk look like a cypress tree on a river bank with spider legs was cool looking as shit

Haha yeah in my soil grow same thing... It's almost like the roots push en up out of the soil. I love them for my hydro but in soil I think the solo cup might be the better way to go.

In hydro I run a live system so that small amount of soil I feel helps aid microbial life right around the root zone that does not end up in the water. I know the bacteria in hydrogaurd reproduce well in dark moist environments with high oxygen levels but do not reproduce well in a solution. That's why the same bacteria are added to soil once yet in hydro it needs to be continually. So that's my thought process on why I use em. Small benefits I feel.

Your welcome to 2 bro lol. Pick up only hahaha. The key to success on poppin beans IME is one word. It's a word most woman hate lol.... MOIST... That's it. I soak 16-18 hrs in distilled. From then on moist only, never wet, never dry. If you can see water at all in your paper tower it's to wet. They also like to be warm that's important.
