I get 100% germination this way. Just have problems cloning in this house for some reason something I will addresse as have two bingo pajama I wish to clone if find girl
That’s what put me of drippers nutrients clogging them up. My tent is in upstairs bedroom and I’m out all day, didn’t want a flood.Day 65 - 9th Week of Flowering
Coco coir - 590ppm/5.8 ph
Jack's FeED 5-12-26/Growpito enzymes and microbes
80-84f Leaf Surface Temp - Night Time Temps 68-72f
50-58% RH
8" Light Height
Took care of the clones today. Under feeding them but I'll fix tomorrow. They are in Growpito Sim Mix in 5 gallon buckets with Jack's FeED and Growpito enzymes and beneficials. I've trained them to the rims or beyond the edges of the buckets and made branchy monsters.
In the mean time I figured a 3/4 pvc 4-bucket system with the control bucket inside the tent and two 400gph pumps to flood and drain through 1/2 pvc. Probably just use a 40 gallon trash can and some WiFi timers. I think. I need to buy a new tent, my zippers are ripping fabric off lol.
Called Botanicare and found Pure blend pro wasn't OMRI because of the phosphorus and leonardite. I still like it better than Jack's FeED.
In the flower room I have buds fattening and some senescence/ph issues. My drippers keep clogging.
To the pictures. I took them but I don't even know how they look beyond thumbnails.

Things are looking good! I'm at 6 weeks flowering and things are falling over despite staking... I need to seriously work on keeping them upright. These pics are actually from about 8 days ago. After they lay horizontal, they usually grow more buds vertical, which increases the size of them and the yield, but makes it difficult to work and water them. Hard to deal with such problems, eh? Pardon the lousy pictures... the camera doesn't work well with the lights in the remote location. The tall pair is the Malawi and the single tall one is my 30+ year old strain, Matanuska Thunderf**k. Both have been topped/pinched but still grow pretty tall. The ones in the pictures are about 7 ft tall, with 8.5" ceilings. They grow above the bulb level!Day 65 - 9th Week of Flowering

I grew it decades ago then got out of growing for a while. I had a few old pill bottles that had some seeds that I had saved over the years, which included a few of the Matanuska strains. I was surprised when one of them popped.. actually a couple, about 30% germination rate after 30 years, although it took a week and they weren't giants at the beginning. Since then, clones and a few unseen male flowers have worked to keep it alive. I have another bottle that is full of all kinds of older, pre named strains from the 70s. I haven't had much luck popping any of those, but it's a work in progress. As much as I love the strain, I need some variety and I have had enough of this to keep me satisfied for a while.nice Jimster ....used to run the Matanuska as well....good work keeping it going all this time ~
They DO love to stretch!! Sativa's keep growing during flowering too, which makes for more headaches. They slow down considerably, but they never seem to quit growing taller until they are ready to come down and the fan leaves have mostly fallen. I don't know about going another 6 weeks, as things are falling over already and the experiment with TRIA really seems to have bulked things up. It's a disorganized grow plagued with spider mites, but we will persevere!!
I don't know how the TRIA will affect the Terpenes, but if the delicate smell that wafts from them as they grow is any indication, I would say that Terps have increased considerably. The smell is a LOT stronger than I remember it being at this stage. So far, I'm pleased with the TRIA results. No wild mutants or anything, but there is accelerated development and maybe faster finish... this is my 1st try with this, so I'm on a learning curve myself. It doesn't seem to affect the shape or growing, just seems to make the buds bigger/thicker, at least so far. Of course, some of the effects could be in my head, just like every grower thinks they grow redwoods! :)These stretched for almost five weeks but it was fun lol. Do you think the TRIA will improve the terpenes and the?

The pack I got was pretty diluted and didn't need to be pre-dissolved in alcohol or another solvent... it dissolved into the hot water directly. I sprayed it during lights on (once during lights off) for a total of 3 treatments. So far, so good!
TRIA is a type of PGR, which is pretty much the same as a hormone, I think. I got mine off of Ebay, 10 grams@ 1.5%. Mix 1 gram with 1 liter water, and spray. A 10 gram packet will last forever as I have made 1 batch so far (1 gram) and still have a bunch left over for additional applications. All totaled, it cost about a dollar to treat the grow. I looked at several other PGRs, like ibberlic Acid, but the effects were different... they are true hormones that affect the growth of the plant in different ways. TRIA seems more like a booster in it's actions, while the others seem like they take command of the plant and force it to grow long, or short, or to flower, etc. TRIA seems more like a secret weapon that just improves the results. It can be brewed from Alfalfa and some other plants, and is some type of a waxy compound, hence it doesn't dissolve easily in water. The 1.5%, however, is dilute enough that it will.TRIA is just hormones right? What brand did you get? I'm already impressed with the structure and density of the MXP, thicker than any indica I've grown, but I wouldn't mind trying it
