    Good morning, :ciao: Happy 420 Rick34 and the rest of our 420 family. :hug:
    Thanks for the kind words :thanks:
    Did you have a pic for photo contest?
    Everyone has to midnight to post a pic.
    Good luck. :thumb:
    Talk soon my friend.
    I'm here buddy. It's been an experience but I'm out of hospital and feeling like it's gonna stick this time. Been admitted through emerg 5 times since Christmas. Nightmare, even though I come in on ambulance, the triage nurses don't always get that even though I'm just a guy puking, I've been puking for 48hrs straight without end, had a very recent esophagectomy, and need IV fluids, IV emetics and IV benzodiazepines or hydromorphone, depending don't the incident.

    To make things really crazy, my mom broke her hip and needed emerg surgery and my Dad's ticker gave him issues that resulted in a week in hospital. We're going down like bowling pins over here.

    Anyway, the hospital care is by and large wonderful, and I'd jump on a grenade for those nurses, but coming in through emerg that many times, that sick, especially that last time, was personally apocalyptic.

    I've been off ''the screens'' for a while just because I've felt so poorly and only had a tiny iPhone in the hospital - where I've been 9 days out of 10 since Christmas. Extreme nausea is the worst man, I'd rather re-live the worst pain I've felt in my life than the nausea I feel sometimes.

    This time I've been home for 10 days, which is a record for the last 3 months so I'm def. trending upward and building some momentum in the right direction. Today I went with my Dad to Buckerfeilds Supply and picked up my seed potatoes for the garden. I'm gonna fill more than half of my 35ft. raised bed with potatoes this year. They'll love the blazing sun in that spot all summer. Unfortunately, I need to go turn it over somewhat. The weeds have created surface roots that are like a woven mat. I also bought some new tomato, cucumber and bean seeds, and I bought a tray of spinach seedlings, cabbage, and half a dozen patio tomato plants, most of which will go into 27 gal tote-SIPs.

    Hope you've been hanging in there, this Missus too. I'll go check out your threads - I'havent even been gohsting you guys - although my daughter logs in as me now and then. Damn kids, they act like they don't need you, then use yer stuff. Paying for my sins, I am.

    February 22 we blast off

    Used to shark fish when I was a kid. Used to bring the shotgun and put a big pumpkinball in them. Over the years caught a tiger and a mako. The jaws are buried in my buddies paeents backyard somewhere. Never did dig them up lol.

    Enjoy the rest of your weekend.
    Well hello there @Bill284 !!! I've been away from here for far too long! How ya' been doing? Say... I'm gonna' plant a new crop come early spring, so U'll be seeing more of me here at 420Mag.

    I got a question: In your mind, what's the best way to get a big root system for my girls? Keep in mind that I start them in cups, then pots, then I like to put them in the ground partway through the veg cycle, long before they even think about blooming. I do this because of the high heat here where I live. They seem to do so much better in Mother Earth, rather than in a pot.

    Looking forward to hearing from you again... :smokin:

    Good Day Amigo :ciao: Merry Christmas & Happy New Year. :thumb:
    Have you seen my potting method? @Bill284 Method?
    What I would recommend is layer's of perlite and lots of amendments.
    I use Bokashi, frass & DYNOMYCO.
    I'd layer the pots and fill them with roots.
    Then dig your hole and layer it too, then put in your pot.
    Check in my vivohut & Heaven's Shores threads, I have pictorials labeled with what to do.
    Check them out and we can form a game plan.
    Almost time to start the summer team.;)
    Message me in my thread we can discuss it.
    Take care.
    Talk soon.
    Bill quick question buddy, I flused my autoflower thats in coco and my leafs are looking droppy, the ph of the coco is reading 6.1. Flushed her with plane ph'd water of 5.8, ppm is reading 640 of the water that came out of the coco. Any recommendations?
    Bill284
    Bill284
    Good morning Amigo. :ciao: :high-five:
    Sorry I missed your question yesterday. :Namaste:
    I never use plain water on my coco.
    If I'm using nutrients with salts I feed to run off daily.
    If your concerned about build up use nutrients with calmag to flush.
    I add calmag to my feed water first every time.
    Then nutrients according to the schedule then set ph to 5.8 every time.
    Then I feed every day, full strength every time.
    But a slight droop isn't bad.
    Do you have a thread or any pics?
    If not we can talk here.
    I use this thread occasionally for troubleshooting.
    Feel free to post pics and ask any questions you like.
    Btw I don't check runoff, you can end up chasing your tail.
    Just 2 cents.
    Talk soon.
    Oi Rutjumper, thinking of you... for all the good it does you I'm not sure why I mention it... ach, that's kinda negative of me, every little bit helps us fragile creatures, doesn't it? I know you're "up against it" these days, like for real, and in whatever state of matter you happen to be in at this moment you will always be a fekking legend. So there's that. Not that being a legend can be cashed in for groceries and some 89 octane... (reliably) but it counts for something all the same. Miss you, and was wondering if you'd had some news, good or ill. Like I said, thinking of you.

    Dog :ciao: Thank you so much. :thanks:
    I think of you every day, your health is a constant concern for me.
    I don't pester you about as you say doesn't do any good.
    But know I always perk up to see you post anywhere.
    Let alone here, I took a screen shot. Hehe
    I still have your pic to be posted in the VIVOHUT. :hug:
    You and Cap'n Lucky.
    As you well know though there is an echo in the fridge, but good news is afoot.
    Starting today.
    So hopefully this is bottom.
    But I can't seem to put down the shovel.
    Not complaining though honestly.
    Can be worse.
    Girls are just amazing and LIG.:yahoo:Right
    Do you have your veg stand going?
    Don't be afraid to post a couple pics in the vivo thread.
    Love to see what you upto.
    Be well my friend and stay safe.
    I see your status, impressed. Any words of wisdom for me . Backstory I popped 20seeds before I got this far , grizzly n Dutch. I’m well happy, didn’t release how much stress was involved in growing it’s worth it though

    Bill284

    I use coco mostly, soil on occasion.
    Biobizz light mix is good for babies.
    Regular for full grown works well.
    Their nutrients are decent.

    not a gnat any where. some how with My LOS I had a calcium issue I had a big loss of grow time. there is a lot to learn about a SIP or like I have a Shwick I noticed the problem about 10 days got worm casing and a little cal/mag coloring starting to come back maybe I need to allow more time before everything is a Lush green. I also have some really burnt tips on the sativas the indicia not so bad going completely Organic I shouldnt be having issues especially in veg the problem is most likely not being patient enough to let the stuff work Charlie is rocking that hair cut.

    I did learn one thing Love growing pot becuase it give me a feeling of purpose and to relieve stress OH to get really , really stoned. But when My plants have issues my life falls apart, It will come together and next time will be easier

    how are things at home? any luck any where? other than cool dog hair cut? Stacie have any luck? still rooting

    Silicate will go off if not dissolved in your water first.
    The easiest thing I found was once a week mix up a batch by itself.
    And give everyone a little drink after feeding .
    This way you don't have to worry about dissolving the Silicate.
    Follow the instructions on the Silicate for mixing strength.
    Just in plain water. :thumb:

    @Bill284 nICE pICTURE LOL ALMOST AS NICE AS MY CAPS KEY well just wanted to touch base after a week of tending to everyone in the house sitting on the hopper with a bucket as puke and shit pour out both ends Hell week is over. How are things with you guys hope all is well. I got 5 plants in solo cups 2 have popped above ground and im checking the other 3 every 15 minutes Hope the others break thru soon I guess if I want them to pop up. I need to start 2 more for back ups and the originals will pop up and ill have 2 plants extra. or I could be patient . How did you make those little supports you used to stabilize your babies last time? I want to use them and see if I can get a little taller before I start getting side branches.

    I had a better harvest than I expected the weed is amazing I havent smoked it bu7t just the amount of trichomes and sooooo sticky I was constantly cleaning my snips with alcohol the tent smells like fresh cut grass in a pile of tangerine peels so I think they are doing the breaking down of the chlorophyll.
    any way arenty ya glad I dont run to ya 5 times a day with my hair on fire? you prolly have 5 new people keeping ya hopping now .
