So what are you growing?

I thought about shaking things up a bit. I've got some "Golden Teachers" lined up next.

Ooooh...mushrooms? Interesting!

Yep. I have enough flower put up for myself that I'm going to shut down the cannabis garden once this last run is complete. I'll start up another run in the fall. Mushrooms grow quick. It's something different ... and because we won't be tied to a grow during the summer, we can take a vacation somewhere.

Dude what the hell are you talking about lol. Did I miss part of this conversation? I’m not using CO2. As far as electricity use you just have to not overload.

As far as how many plants people are growing...that’s THEIR OWN business and nobody else’s. No person has the right to tell another person what they can or can’t do if it’s not hurting anyone else. Anyone that believes otherwise is delusional. This is true 10 fold in today’s ass backwards illogical society where men are allowed to compete in women’s sports, alcohol is not only legal but encouraged, and cannabis is federally illegal and tightly controlled by state regulations. Hmm....seems like government is meddling and reaching where they don’t belong, and aren’t welcomed. So you can tell your brother to stop sticking his nose in other peoples business and worry about himself. It doesn‘t matter how disgusting I find fast food, I have no right to stop someone else from eating it. My philosophy is this...use your brain and think for yourself.

In most (not all) states, spores are legal.

Sooo my Lemongrass is not looking good. I’m debating flushing that Mantis crap and using something that can fix this problem. I don’t even know if it’s possible 4 1/2 weeks into flower but it looks like it’ll be DEAD before harvest.

If anyone has a solution...I’m willing to buy gallons of spring water and a nutrient mix that can save it.

There's a number of top quality nutrient lines. I have not tried all that many brands, but of the ones I've tried I like Roots Organic terp teas and Botanicare's Organic line. I don't know how either would translate to coco though.

General Hydroponics has a good reputation for the most part. It's an option to look at although I've not used their nutrient products.

What he said wasn’t hateful at all, it was a JOKE, sarcasm, do you see the laughing and winking emoji??

Just cut a bit back on the nutes, when I flower I do that to, but in veg I would recommend botanacare pro grow just fish mulch and nitro 1ml per USgal then watered down never once burned a plant and they luv it, see Pic just the tips in flower.

Yes, that's botanicare's organic line. It's a solid choice in soil anyway. I used it on my last run. Sour Diesel and Skywalker Kush. I also used Fish Sh!t and a weekly dose of recharge. Some of the best tasting plants we've grown.

 

[Dothraki]

Thanks guys. Now the million dollar question...how would I go about flushing the ph buffered solution without it going bananas on the plants lol

 

[MIGrampaUSA]

Plain distilled water is usually sufficient. There are products like Bush Doctor Sledge Hammer (It's by Fox Farm) that are designed to flush out salts, but I'm not sure if you need that. Regardless of how you approach it, you'll need to feed your plants right after the flush. So have your new ferts on hand before flushing.

 

[Dothraki]

I just clipped off most of the big fan leaves that look sick. There were 3 giant ...main...fan leaves (are those called water leaves?) and a couple regular fan leaves.

Man, I think you should go to your nearest Walmart and buy a sense of humor.

since of humor? there's a difference between humor and sales? YOU KNOW THAT OR JUST DELUDED OR INCOHERENT, the last month is everyone trying to push me onto a spider farmer light, but I didn't get it, there are other lights that outweigh them by a definitely higher-margin, take Photoontek, 1600 dollar same as California grow light another 2 grand light, you have to shop around, I don't rush out & buy the 1st light someone tells me to buy, I compare the products, what they can do what the other can't, I bought 2 comparable lights mine are fine, which you telling me they are cheap lights buy spider farmer, which was more than they were, damn if you're going to be in sales think like a customer looking for the same thing but 1 flaw never lie to others about a product which I ran into a bunch of lies already, I said my peace, next time be honest to the new people that join in, don't lie don't try to persuade, honesty is your only tool to sell

I’m not sure what others told you to do...but you need to do your own research when making a purchase dont just let people tell you what to buy. I bought a spider farmer light because it was the best bang for the buck according to my research. It has UV and IR light which were selling points for me. I’ve seen tons of stellar grows that were obviously not hindered in any way by the light, which is usually the limiting factor (unless outdoors). So I’m not sure what makes the other lights “better” but I can say that not once throughout this grow with the upgrade to SE500...never once have I thought “man, I need a better light”. It provides more than enough for what the plant needs , more than enough PPFD, DLI, how ever you want to measure it, in all the right spectrum. That has been my experience so I would recommend a Spider Farmer light all the way. This grow is sponsored with the SE5000 but I had already purchased it’s little brother the SE3000 and if I had the extra money would have bought the SE5000 because I feel it’s the best deal for the price. The more you pay the smaller increments of “better” you will get. Same as my Chinese made Eastman guitar. You simply cannot get the same quality for that price made in US. I also have a Martin D28. Its a little lighter being Sitka instead of Adirondack spruce, the tone is a little better (which is subjective) but overall the Chinese made Eastman is 1/2 the cost. The Martin is maybe 10-15% better which most people wouldn’t know the difference. The Eastman is more fun to play, has more punch and character especially with heavy gauge strings to really push that Adirondack Spruce.

My point is this... buy what fits your needs, don’t pay attention to where it was made but rather how it was made and performs, and price alone is never an indicator of quality. This isn’t the 1980s where everything from China is junk. They put out some damn fine guitars and some damn good grow lights. Buy whatever light you want I’m just telling you my reasons for choosing SF and so far I’ve been very happy with my choice, it’s not even a thought.

Even though all the issues it seems buds are fattening up nice. Praying to the cannabis gods that I make it to harvest.

When I touch the sugar leaves it smells like straight up concentrated Pine-Sol. The buds still don’t look like buds, just wispy white stigma everywhere. Not sure if that’s good, bad, or neither. Turned the light down a little like 15% because the tacoeing and one bud looks a little foxtaily. The closest bud is like 6 1/2 inches from the light, all the way on the right side in pic. I think I’ll slowly start dropping temps and humidity soon.
