Growin & Smokin in Florida

I seem to be getting more nutes in without the burn. This is my second go around using this combo. The only drawback is if you get heavy handed with the Humic Acid is the leafs get a weird shape but the roots seem to love it.

G13 Haze -- first to finish ~ 75d. she wasn't happy early in flower so I hope to do them better next run.

the veg pics are below and everything was rootbound in solo cups........not good but im running too many in a small space so that's the way it is for now.

im trying to root micro small cuts in oil dry just for the hell of it so that's what you see in part of the clone treys.

SSH, I know what you mean by running too much in a small space. I need to cut down on the number of seeds I pop. But where's the fun in that...;)

once these cuts root ill be over 50 in my 4x4 tent and I cant seem to get below 40 in there so why fight it........go with it and expand.

That looks like a fine way to be busy, Puscifer. What's the smell/flavors like?

Smell is of burned Orange peels and burned rubber. Taste is burned rubber and Lemons. The first hit is always pure lemons, then slight burned rubber with lemons. Sounds nasty but she has a great flavor!

tsp, not ml, I just spent the last hour mixing some veg nutes and rewatering everything. for MONTHS I have been trying to figure out why my plants aren't wanting to grow, anybody want to guess why that might be? so on top of watering my flowering girls way too much crop after crop, this just slapped me back to reality.
Puscifer, you offered help and I went on about how long I've been doing this, just getting back to growing after a long break and trying something different, I should've known better and asked for more help and took what was offered. i guess i stepped into it ego first and now my ass hurts from having my head so far up it so long. PAY ATTENTION FOLKS! that's the moral of the story, the details will get you. idk what the hell i was thinking. pus i hope you can put up with me bugging the shit out of you if i run into anymore issues

Ah shit brother, it's never a bother to answer questions for someone in need of advise/help/etc. If ya have a question, never hesitate to ask.
****Just to be clear, the Veg ratio I use is in tsp/gal. The Flower ratio's are in ML, as it is written on GH's website for the recirculating "simple" formula.****

:D

what kind of smells are coming from that g13 x haze bro?

2 are still in flower......the one in flush had a non-sweet citrus rhine scent but its developing a bit more but hard to describe. the other one flowering still looks 30d out at a min so no smell that I can pick up other than chlorophyll.

the one cut and in the jar has a vanilla undertone maybe...........only hit a bowl and it was still not ready or cured but tasty.

all 3 phenos had issues ~3wk in flower due to grower error but they breezed thru w/no issues. they clone ez too.

ill get a better description after I get done w/this bowl of bubba and get a few things done.


peace

well I just cut some up and I don't get vanilla but I cant place it......ill see if I can get a better description after she gets another wk in the jar.

Well seeing as I was a Factory Trained Harley Davidson mechanic years ago. And I like the smell of burning rubber....smells like a winner as well as looking like one.

Factory trained HD mechanic huh? My Sportster needs a N safety switch and the stealer charges $89/hr labor.
You know, the switch that needs the drive belt pulley removed to access...
Just went and snapped a few pics of the PD for you, to give you a visual as to just how well she responds when you cut her main growth shoot.
(This is a mom that I only trimmed clones from once. She started out shaped exactly like the three you have ;))

those look like the same depot 2 gallon buckets I used to use. if so, just 1 inside the other and a 1/2" fitting to run to a drain bucket? I'm wanting to move up my pot size and that might work out fine and affordable. digging the water bottle too lol, I use a 5 gallon bucket with 1 gallon notches in it.

Those are ebb/flow buckets. That particular white one is from an old CAP system. I have new style black ones, the ones HTG sells as "add ons", and they're MUCH better because they easily slide out of each-other.
In Flower, each bucket is connected to a main "drain" bucket with a pump in it timed to come on with the feed pump. The runoff flows into the drain bucket and gets pumped outside via a small hole in the wall.
I've since refined the system to where the drain bucket now uses a float switch to kick on the drain pump. That way theirs no chance of the drain pump timer failing and flooding my room. The float switch setup has an emergency shutoff float switch incorporated into it, should the water rise to that switch it cuts power to the feed pump and won't come back on until i reset it. Ill be posting pics of the system once I'm done remodeling.

damn that's pretty high tech. if I end up doing it I need the buckets to drain to a single bucket and then get pumped to a waste res or something I guess, I don't want to knock a hole in the wall lol. a float valve does sound better than a timer too. i'll have to grab a couple of the hd 2 gal's & check them out, might not be enough room between the 2 to make it worth trying with those particular buckets. probably comes out to about the same price to just get the add on kits instead of all the diy

I pulled my 1995(only late model Sporty manual I have) XLH manual just to double check, replacing the switch shouldn't be any big deal. I have 5 Snap-on tool boxes just sitting here waiting to be used. ;)
Now on to the PD...I have topped them once so far and will be doing it again after 2 or 3 nodes growth. Tomorrow I'm picking up 20lbs of EWC. About how much should I top dress with? 1" or 2"
I'll take some pics of everything tomorrow when the lights come on.

Drift, couldn't tell you he on the EWC, never used the stuff before.
Replacing the N switch is easy enough ( I have a factory service manual, MANDATORY reading material if you own an H-D, imho:D), it's the sprocket holding tool and the main shaft lock nut socket that I lack. I hit 10,000 miles a few days ago so it's time for it's scheduled service anyway. Plus it needs front/back rubber. All told it's gonna set me back a grand. Toys cost money...
Strive, it's all in a kit brother;) I'm not inclined enough to come up with that myself.

Hey FLA!!

Good to see some familiar faces here! A little bird pointed me in this direction and I'm hoping to find some old friends and some new friends too! Not much going on grow wise, I really scaled back compared to last year but I should have some pics to show in another 3 weeks or so.

Pus, SSH - Good to see ya both! Haven't read the whole thread yet but I bet there are a few other familiar characters in this play. Post here or PM and let me know who you are. Can't say I'll be here everyday, but I'll check in as often as possible. May try to move my pics over here as well.

Hope everybody is healthy, happy and growing the hell out of some fine herb.
