Buttfaeces and the Hobbit. There's a good title already.;)

So I had a nice update all typed up, pictures and all and the internet ate it! So here is the lazy version... C-99's flipped 2 days ago.... Clones and Blue Dream (front right) in various stages of development in the Veg tent... Question of the day.... The ph on my water for feeding...

So, finished the 4 day flush on the C-99 clones. they are looking better and reacting well. The plan from here to to water a little every day with a 0.5EC and ph 5.6 solution consisting of 25/5/5 and a few drops of B1 rooting hormone. The plan with these clones is to leave them in Veg till the...

Thanks for the warning on the salt build up in the trays. I have continued bottom feeding but am scrubbing them regularly now. Say once a week should do the trick. Got to say I'm loving the bottom feeding and so are the plants. Really growing fast and bushing out nicely. Will drop a pic in...

OK, I'll cut out the molasses water until flower. I use it as a cal/mag replacement as my lucas formula lacks a little cal/mag at times. The 'pellets' are not what you think. They are hydroton rocks. Inert. I line the base and top to help with drainage and to keep them clean/stop surface...

Well there are signs of stress on the lower leaves and I didn't help matters by burning it with a large CFL but the Blue Dream is still going. A little small but growing is always good. So in lieu of knowing what to do next with my clones I repotted them into 2 litre pots filled with coco...

Are you under the impression that tourists are not welcome in the coffee shops of Amsterdam? If so it is mistaken. There is no wietpas in Amsterdam. I pass through the town regularly (4 times this year so far) and all over the town it is just fine to smoke/purchase pot. The only change is the...

Anyone else going? Been to Amsterdam many,many times but somehow always managed to miss the cup. Not this year. Have my ticket, hotel booked. Looking forward to going to the expo and learning some new stuffs as well as meeting up with old and new friends. Might even get the chance to indulge in...

Increased the feed to 1.45 EC. Hope that does the job. Been a busy day in and out of the tents. Repotted the headband into its final 12-14 liter pot which is a basket lined with a black plactic bin liner and green plastic bag with holes poked in them. It drains pretty well and once again it is...

So the topping is all done and decided to try the thing where you grab the stem and twist and then squeeze till it crunches a little. Forget the terminology. o_O The idea is that now each plant will focus its energies on the newly topped parts rather than side branching. On the Headband did...

Thanks SM your answer freed me from my paralyzing fear and today I double topped one of the C-99's. The stretch after the first top was a little scary but I'm hoping a combination of growth causing the lights to be closer plus lowering the lights will counter this stretch. In other news I...

I am indeed and that clears that one up. thanks. :) So the 'tent of death' looks like it has claimed another victim. For whatever reason nothing seems to be growing in there. Seeing as I'm going to need to flip my larger plants in a week or two I'm going to need a re think and a good...

Sorry to hear that. It is just a shame really. I put my heart and soul into my grow reports over there and now it is time to move on and start all over again. Met some cool folks over there and I don't want it to end but whatever it takes to have peace of mind I suppose. On the bright side this...

Got some sticky sticks that hopefully will hoover up and straw gnats but it might be too late for the auto. Never mind. Another lesson learned. The headband looks to have a slight zinc deficiency which I'm going to fix by feeding the normal mix quite soon. Funny how the ph creeps up inside the...

Dem clones, dem clones, dem :D So I have taken clones for the first time. It was all a bit confusing and hurried but in the end since I was topping one of the C-99's today anyway and also needed to lollipop the lower growth a little as it was too close to the surface of the medium I decided to...

Preparation for the cloning continues. Have some rockwool cubes soaking in ph'ed water overnight. There is only an EC of 0.2 but there is some root booster in there. Might use it as the source water for the clones for the first few days. Here is what I have so far in my cloning/propagation...

Sorry if I ramble on. I'm a bit of an islander. No one around here knows what I'm doing and that's the way I like it. The side effect is I have no one to talk to about growing so this thread may be a bit on the long winded side. Apologies. Cloning time is almost upon me. Never taken a clone in...

Finished the repot and got a bit carried away. It happens. :D Love this C-99 so far. Enjoying the genetics as I wonder how to tame that kind of growth and expose as many tops as possible to the flowering light. The planning starts here.... Headband has been trimmed right back and repotted...

Hi SM - hoping the flushing reduced the burn which I thought was going to happen with such a high EC on the runoff. Hoping a 2.0 EC on the runoff is going to be ok if I just feed molasses water of 0.65 EC for a while until the runoff drops. Forgot the RH. reading :oops: so took a new reading...

Now using my new set up with 20liter and 18 liter pots Repotted the C'99's They had to be flushed pretty strong to get the EC down from 3.9 to 2.0. Didn't repot the Headband is it looks like crap and I'm lacking medium. Hoping the C-99's fare better... One is topped and one not... The small...
