hell ya,means you got a nice healthy plant,those bags prune themself ,from what i understand

That's a relief.

By the way, I will legit send you some Fire Cider, if you would like some. No pressure. It's a medicinal vinegar.

cant sex till they start under 12/12 schedule,there are way to do it early,butleads to funky ,2 -3-single leaf sets,then it will have to go back to reveg and that takes forever,thats what up with my clones right now,i rooted them and now they reveging,be a month before i see any change on them hahaha,but they are females and they are the last grow show until october,to damn hot to grow here after end of may

Really, I'm all in my ego in that I just want to know if my instincts are right. Haha!

 

[oldskol4evr]

Everyone is warmer and standing upright now. Turned the fan on and I'll go check on them again to make sure all is okay. Now I'm paranoid I've overfed them since I misjudged what you said, @oldskol4evr

thats the sweet thing about coco and the method i described i do in the morning,all nutes and ph and all that good stuff is done for the day,no more that day ,all comes out of that single bucket you made,so the nutes and ph are already there and you already feed them earlier with the same food,cant over do it,if you did by the time you feed the second time you would see the issue if any,so putting in 2 solo cups of food only meant half came right back out in runoff ,you dig,you only make food once that day and do all your feeding from that bucket and you cant go wrong ,well you could but by time second feed comes around you visually see it

 

[oldskol4evr]

Y'all are awesome. Okay, so the plan is @oldskol4evr & @dire wolf:

1. Take cuts of the male and female.
   1. What do I do with the current male (still waiting to make sure, might just be a really boss female)
2. Keep them alive through cuts.
   1. What do I do with the current male?
   2. Is this what happens, we just put them out to the grave? Or can he become like a houseplant or something?
3. Let current plants do their thing.

Part II:

See if I like the SSSD smoke. If so, move to Chapter 2, pollination?

There was another question swimming around my brain surrounding this, but now it escapes me.

since your gonna clone,do cuts of all your plants,that way you continue to grow girls and can work under a scrog net with no issues of wonderingif you got a male in there,saves money on seeds too,but the suspected male,save the cut,root the cut,plant it ,just as you are right now start rasing the plant,before you go to flower cuts again ,so if it is a male you can decide if you want to breed the male or toss um ,then finish out the tent full you have now,and with the cuts take the male cut and female cuts you want to breed and get to the nasty with them,
i like to take cuts of every difrent strain i have,i run the plants out,replant the cuts and buy the time they flower ,the dry and cure is done on first batch,if i like the smoke ,i keep taking cuts and enjoy,
you get good at cloning ,you dont have to buy seeds,unless you just get tired of the strains you been running for a year or so hahaha

Copy that. I should have followed my gut, which directed me to not feed again, but I'll live and learn.

I feel like the water that was coming out of their leaves this morning was yellow. I hope that doesn't mean I'm about to burn them up. I'll just have to keep checking in on them today and see if a flush is in order.

I'd love to get both your and @dire wolf's cloning suggestions. I don't know anything about this. I appreciate you both!

when you water that 20%runoff ,that is a flush,a major flush is when you put about 5 times as much water threw there,do you have fans running ?come flower time your gonna have to rid of all that moisture building up on leaves,im surprised the light hasnt burned the leaves as of yet,i dont foiler,well i guess i do on ocasons ,i spray epsome salt o my leaves about 2 times in veg only but when lights go out and fans running wide open to dry them out..
nope i dont want no water sticking around my tent,brings in creepy crawling things and such,then you got the powder meldew hell to the no

Yes, I just went through with a towel. Wiped floors and benches. I don't want creepy crawlies, either. I saw a mosquito yesterday and freaked. My dogs must have brought it in. I'm going to have to wipe a bit more as I got the humidity up earlier to make them happy. They should be right as rain by tomorrow, fingers crossed.

We didn't get a freeze this year. Mosquitos are going to be the size of velociraptors this spring/summer. I'm going to make a cream that's kind to the earth today, but not appealing to skeeters this afternoon in preparation for warmer weather.

i feel ya ,im still killing snakes ,damn scorpions still running around too,sketters oh hell they come in clouds you can see this time of year about 30 min before dark ,when the cloud disapear you see the bullets right behind them as they leave,the bats eat good but not enough,when you go out to the lake,you know when it time to leave,as you see headlights coming on there will be a black storm coming across the lake,them son bitchs love me,my wife they dont touch her,wouldnt touch my grand dad either,they freaking hunt me down hahahah

 

[dire wolf]

Hey you guys , could be worse , where i live half the year , mosquitos are just as thick , except they carry dengue and chikungunya virus , a few years ago my wife got bit and got the dengue , her fever went to 105 , i thought she was going to die ....

So skeeters around good old usa arent quite as bad as other places !

Next year i got the chinkungunya , then went home and i think i got the freaking "lyme" disease from the deer ticks in the woods .....

Like the grateful dead say " if the thunder dont get ya , then the lightning will !" ........

Interesting. They don't normally bother me, but chiggers do. They love my husband, they must love you people who run hot. :) I thought I read recently that our bats are dying because people are pesticiding every damn thing. Isn't their poop good for fertilizer? When I get some land, I hope to put up some houses for them, but they will have to be far enough away that my dogs won't eat their shit and get sick. Makes me vomit even thinking about it.

Have you been tested for Lyme? If not, be sure to get tested. Before I left EMS, we were transporting people with a new variation "they" can't determine if mosquito borne or tick borne, or both. Either way, males carry it for up to a year and it infects children, who are born with severe brain damage, sometimes half a brain, sometimes no brain. Hate to be harsh about it, but that's how it is. Or, depending how you look at it, our species is trying to create a new species?

ha they can stay in there caves hahaha,i got enough to feed around here,seems i have aquired another feral cat,then the babies ,there starting to show up now rut is over,they hungry hahahah

 

[KLight03]

Go take care of the babies. I just flushed my green babies out. It seems I did see yellow pushing out the ends. I'm going to go check in an hour and see what they tell me. I thought I had the rhythm of the pH down flat, now it's back up again. It's going to make me crazy. ppm is ridiculous at 450 something. I guess it's water treatment from the city or something, I don't know. I hope I didn't burn them up. I'll check back in in the morning.

Give all the babies some love for me. <3

Oh shit ! Thanks K , my wife is right after all.... i thought she was joking....i really do have half a brain

Watch out for that toxoplasmosis from the cats , i think its the only parasite i havent caught yet

 

[oldskol4evr]

I am soooooooo stealing that little cloner idea. That's awesome!!!

if your talking about the one i make,hahah ya getto as shit but works,if you keep it splashing in there and water temp right ive had um roots in 10 days before,cheap as wal mart pump,2 fish weights to hold tube down,so foam to hold the clone in ,and done,lift clone out threw the top and un sleave the foam,put that girl in some ocean forest and watch the love,
cant use the folgers doesnt have the nice handle molded in ,so maxwell house good to the last drop hahahah
i decided back in the clone machine gotta have days for what folk were paying for these damn machines to clone with,they all have one thing in common,the splash is what gets roots,so folk paying several hundred dollors for a 7gal home depot tote for 5 bucks.
so was messing around one morning and it came to mind gave it a try and it happened,the city water wouldnt do in the there but ro water did great,first 4 clones all made in 10 days,second 4 set of them took 14 days.
so been getto since have fun with it,seems when i put a little of that rooting powder in there ,just a pinch they do better

Thanks for the advice K ,Yea ive had 4 lyme tests , but im shure you know the story , amost all result in false negative , one was positive , then neg and you then need a specialist and the concept of a 3 month iv antibiotic aint my thing.....
So im trying to figure it out , but this one aint easy
