Orcas' Logs

Nice to hear from you MIMedGrower, I agree about the centerpiece!:) So how is your perpetual garden going?
Its finally been a little more normal weather wise here in Denver after a couple of weeks of record setting temps in the high seventies and low eighties. Here is my first flower of the season being a Crocus. And a Hyacinth close to opening. My Daffodils and Tulips are also pushing up. Here comes Spring!

A good Saturday afternoon to everyone, First is a prayer for peace and prosperity in this world! Amen!

Thanks mandalaman, I think I finally have my mite issue under control. It is so hard on the plants treating them. The freebie is unknown. It came with a purchase that I made here two years ago.

Happy Monday too all, Another gorgeous week gone by. This has been an awesome fall. Still no freeze in sight here. Harvested the two Kings Bloods this past week. One last Monday and the other yesterday. A few pictures from yesterday during feeding. Here is Kings Blood at 50 days harvest.

This harvest allowed me to move my favorite plants into 12's. Here is our OG#18. Cutting her back once to control height really shape her up nicely. I just hope she doesn't stretch too much. At six inches going in, I'm guessing that she will finish over two feet.

Next is our own Diesel Paki mix one week in 12's. I love this girl!

And last are the two CBD girls. They both had their first flush yesterday and a final thinning of fan leaves. Both are looking like about ten more days to finish.
Here is Utopia Dreams. Plumping up really nice by laying out her branches.

Funny. You got flowers growing and my buddy in Summit County can't stop snowboarding everywhere.

And my garden is going great. Thanks for asking. I am thinking to do a journal here. I plant and harvest every week pretty much so I can constantly show new plants.

Great to hear from you Moto. Just another gorgeous week of weather here in Denver. I'll be putting some more flower shots up real soon with more flowers close to blooming. How's things going in your realm?
I made a nice change in the bloom area yesterday removing my shitty LED'S and put back up my Lumatek 600 watt with Hortilux bulb and added one more fan. The LED's weren't saving me any money and giving me very poor yields. Our lease ends come June and I am going to have to shut down the bloom area as soon as what is in it finishes about mid April to have the landlady over.

A good Friday too all, Here is the perfect example of how Monsanto is changing general hydroponics to develop GMO cannabis. I used to use the whole general organics line in the beginning a collaboration with BioBizz. I'm still using their CalMag supplement because of its 0-0-0 NPK value composed from calcium carbonite, magnesium carbonite, and molasses. They have since discontinued the product pretty much eliminating the BioBizz influence in the whole product line. So I bought a gallon from amazon while I could get some.
My new gallon arrived yesterday and to my surprise they even changed its recipe now containing nitrogen with a 1-0-0 NPK value. It is composed from calcium carbonite, and magnesium nitrate only.

So I'm working on retuning the gallon and have decided to use blackstrap molasses as a Mag supplement. Here is a basic breakdown of molasses.

This is why I appreciate you brother. You always seem to have information that pertains to my grow as well. I had no idea blackstrap molasses had mg in it. I wonder if I overdobthe mg as I also add epsom to boost mg. Wealth of knowledge sir, thank you.

 

[MIMedGrower]

Be careful sir. The amount of mag listed on a nute is the available percentage. The mag in the molasses has to be broken down. It is not like magnesium carbonate. Or mag sulfate.

And the percentage on the molasses is the FDA human needed percent. Not plants. The measures are not the same.

Please someone correct me if I am wrong.

I know all about having to do shutdowns. :) I wish the best for your visit and look forward to more of your photographs.

Happy Growin

Watch for a Ph Drop if you use much Molasses just a friendly tip.

Hope it all works out for you friend and I don't touch Monsanto products either. :)

Thanks for the concern from you and @Moto, And I have used Blackstrap in the past adding one to two teaspoons per gallon. The nice thing for me using Nectar for the Gods nutes is PH adjustment are required with every feeding. My tap water PH usually is 7.2. Mixing up a batch for example 2 gallons of mid bloom mix will drop the PH down to right at 5.6. Then I use the Nectar PH up to get back to required range before feeding being 6.2 to 6.8 in mid bloom.

Here come more spring flowers on this nice misty morning here in Denver!:)

And a few more flower shots from the inside garden!:)

Sweet Dawg

Bad news for this freebie going herm! Good news is we are out of supply. So I dehydrated a partial branch to sample. She is good enough, so chop chop!:)

I wonder what im doing wrong. When I mix mine up I always come in at 7.2-7.5 that's with pH of 7 tap? That's even at half strength

 

[incogneato]

Beautiful flowers BTW! All of them, too bad that tester popped nanners. Good reminder I have to really watch out. Especially being new to the sport lol. Was that the snow dog?
