Look decent. Last RR I got were crumbling lolThese are the rooters I'm using this round. Apparently we cannot get GH rapid rooters in Canada anymore because they have moisture in them and they can't be brought over the border wet, because our laws are dumb as shit.
These look basically the same, a little more air in them it seems and they come completely dry. The hole for stems is 1/8 which I much prefer over rapid rooters 1/4" hole. Just have to see how they perform. I'm a little nervous they will dry out a bit quicker, but we'll see.View attachment 1177548
They are much more uniformly formed than RR's for sure. They all looked perfect, where RRs are usually half squished and deformed.Look decent. Last RR I got were crumbling lol
I saw them any times in the 70's in Vancouver. big light show, lots & lots of drugs. Loud really fking loud I blame my hearing loss on those days.She doesn't know it yet, but tomorrow Im gonna cut her up into little pieces.

@HumbleTie1321Hello all!
So, I noticed this thread seems to be loaded with extremely experienced growers. So, I was wondering if some kind soul might help me.. I'm a newby. (And Dirtbag, that is one AMAZING light, totally green over here!!).. Anyway, this is my first ever grow and I'm getting ready to flip my Dark Star over to flower. I'm set up in a 4x4x7 tent with a Mars Hydro TS600W and a Viparspectra XS1500 on 18/6 cycle. Ventilation is a 6" 390 CFM inline with carbon filter and a couple of oscillating fans. Ambient temps run at 79.5 at its hottest, leaf temps are 83ish.
I'm growing with Fox Farm Happy Frog Soil in a 10 gallon fabric pot. I'm using tap water (ppm before nutes hover around 338 and abt 546 after) with a ph of 6.3, run off ph generally holds around 6. I use Humboldt supplements (Root Enzymes, Golden Tree, Base A&B) along with Cal-mag and Recharge. Will begin flowering nutes when I turn it over.
The plant currently has a 36" circumference and stands just over 33". I've fimmed throughout to keep it short and have done some minimal LST training as it grew.
I've defoliated a few times to keep air flowing and have lollipopped the lower portion of each branch abt 14" up from the bottom removing suckers as I went. Soooo, now that I've melted your brains with my long post.. The question is (sorry, it's really a few but even if you could help with one I'd really appreciate it).. Is there anything I need to do to prep for the flowering stage? Should I lollipop further up? Defoliate further? (Last time was abt 2 weeks ago and it's thick again).
I figure who better to ask than veteran growers... I really appreciate any help or suggestions anyone can throw my way..
THANKS EVERYONE!
A few pics included..
I've seen them many times. I go with earplugs and a good supply of smokeables.I saw them any times in the 70's in Vancouver. big light show, lots & lots of drugs. Loud really fking loud I blame my hearing loss on those days.

This cracks me up.These signs were two of the many up on the walls in the "shop" @ComfortablyNumb use to work at...Among "other" things...
How about a little "before and after"...

Recharge is not plant food. What it does is convert the soil into food for the plant. When you add it to your grow, you need to cut back on the bottle nutes of you will unbalance your soil and begin getting issues.
Cut your nitrogen by 50% going into flower. It will speed up the transition to flower.
I would de-fol the bottom 60% of the plant.
Sunday afternoon day drinking with a bonfire in the front yard. About to bust up some of this fine wedding crasher from my last crop and have a doobie. Amazed how uniform the last crop was. Every bud looks like this in both size and ripeness.
Happy Thanksgiving Canucks, and everyone else alike!View attachment 1177668View attachment 1177669View attachment 1177670

This was 11 years ago lolWe lost the pix of our bonfires. We call them 'volcano' because of the way we build them.
a 15 or 20 foot base with some trees in the center like an indian tee-pee, then fill it with logs and brush. Cover the bottom half with dirt and light.
A 25 or 30 foot high teepee volcano. It burns internally for a few days.
HAPPY BOXING DAY! or as we Yanks call it, THANKSGIVING!
The fucking drunken escapades my dad used to do around the house, and I burnt my fort down at about 9 or 10yo., and was a general stoned pyro growing up. lol, you are not right in the head.This was 11 years ago lol
If we were right in the head, we would not need meds....The fucking drunken escapades my dad used to do around the house, and I burnt my fort down at about 9 or 10, and was a general pyro growing up. lol, you are not right in the head.
I'm going to be the adult and say this; Keep a hose handy. lol.
I can hear what sounds like concern in her voice; haha.
That was filmed the year I joined the fire dept. Lol, pyro through and through. But always safety backups.The fucking drunken escapades my dad used to do around the house, and I burnt my fort down at about 9 or 10yo., and was a general stoned pyro growing up. lol, you are not right in the head.

ARGHHHH!! I was a volunteer fireman until I went thru the roof, the attic, the living room and stopped in the basement. One of the most scary moments of my life.That was filmed the year I joined the fire dept. Lol, pyro through and through. But always safety backups.
Lol yes we got up to some sketchy shit. I was on our dept for 10 yrs, a lieutenant for the last 4. Nearly died a half dozen times, saved a dozen or more lives, developed crippling Ptsd, good times.ARGHHHH!!

I 'retired' as a volunteer after that.
I have nothing but respect for those guys. They live in a different mental zone.Lol yes we got up to some sketchy shit. I was on our dept for 10 yrs, a lieutenant for the last 4. Nearly died a half dozen times, saved a dozen or more lives, developed crippling Ptsd, good times.
