GSC is still looking like a mag def. Could be a mag tox I guess like Nismo was saying in Joshs journal. But I havent really gave her that much. They all have been getting 1 tsp per gallon. And getting about a half gallon a piece. But I also think shes had enough to keep her from having problems. But at the same time GC is showing signs of N def. Which I can see as I have barely given them any N. So maybe she is just mag hungry. lol "doubt it" Im not really sure what to do as Im not sure what her problem is. I dont think its a ph issue cuz non of the others really have this problem and they all have gotten the same mix with same ph. AND this is really her only sign. Theres no rusting or any spots or any other kind of sign of def. Just a mag. IDK Ill try and remember to take some pictures tonight.

Sorry. She is in the back and I took those quickly. Ill try and move them around tonight or tomorrow and take some better pics of her.


Other than that, Im just waiting. I think NL will be ready in another week or so.
 
Looks great man getting nice and frosty and the yield may not be 100% what you want but i think youll be pleased, they look like they are fattening up for you.

Yea the NL sure did fatten up. I was worried early on because of lack of frost but she is super frosty now. The heat is my main enemy now. Which means his so is homie time. Time is def not on my side. I figure these all being done about this time next month. For sure I could be wrong. But will probably chop them anyway about this time next month. Unless they are really far from harvest. But even then I will probably be doing more harm than good. Due to the heat. When I first started this grow they were all suppose to be done about now or the beginning of june. But do to screw ups or what ever. I got about 20 days or more behind. Harvesting now or in a week isnt so bad. In another month things will be horrible. I just hope these little buggers hurry before its too late.

I made some nutes yesterday but none for her. I will just give her some water with Mammoth p, Terpenez, and Hi-Brix. I think thats all she will get from now on.


I need to check her trichomes but I feel she still has a little more to offer. She is suppose to be a 9 to 10 week Auto and tomorrow will be 10 weeks. But Like I said. I feel she still has another week in her. But I dont want her to go too long. Even though I am wanting some sleep med. Anyway, I need to check the trichomes to see where I am at. Here are some pictures of her.

The Green Crack is showing signs of something. I got some yellowing that could be either a N def. Because I have only given them 2 tsp in their whole life. (FFOF usually is pretty good for the first month, so No need to add N) but it could be something else. It could be a ph issue. Which is really annoying. Either the damn Microbes are gonna do their job or they arent. I am going to buy some natural up next grow and give it a shot. Reason for it, is I am currently having issues with my bubbling system. After a few hrs of bubbling grime or microbs or Nutes...not sure but its accumulating on my airstone. So after a few hrs it drastically cuts air flow down. I have been going out there about half way through, and taking them out and taking my nails scapping the airstones, kinda like sanding it down a bit. It seems to somewhat fix the problem for a bit. I thought about just rethinking the bucket and 2 large air stones. I am currently giving them the same nute ratio anyway. For those that dont know.... Bubbling your EJ nutes, if done right, will raise the ph of the mix after about 12 to 24 hrs. When first mixed, EJ has an extremely low ph. Usually around 4. And bubbling can and will raise it back up. But it requires proper air flow. I have had it go from 4.... to 7 in under 24hrs. As a matter of fact. It was a bit of a problem as 7 is too high. And although the microbes are suppose to do its job. I still would rather it be in the 6s. So I started going out there and stopping the bubbling after 12 hrs to keep it from getting so high. I rarely check my ph. Every so often I will check and make sure my bubbling is working. I havent checked it in a while but Im guessing the ph isnt raising properly. I will check today.

This is my problem with growing organically. (semi organically) Is theres a side that says DONT ph, the microbes will do it, and then there is a side that says ALWAYS ph. I know that if your soil is right, and the microbes and good, and everything is communicating with each other the way it should, then ph isnt an issue. But just because your growing organic, doesnt mean your plaza of microbes are living right. lol in a sense. IDK im not smart enough to explain it cuz I barely understand it. All i know is it create problems when problems arrive with your plants. Because then your stuck wondering if its a ph issue, or a def. Or maybe even a tox. Sooooo to eliminate those issues, I will first try to ph my nutes..AFTER its bubbled. You cant do it before or your ph will skyrocket. So After i bubble it I will check and then adjust slightly. Then hopefully if any problems arrive, I will at least know its not the PH, instead of wondering if the microbes are doing their job.

SORRY,,,ramblings of a mad man...... Here are some pics to make it up

I watered her last night. She is pretty close to being ripe, so I decided to defoliate her. Taking almost all but sugar leafs. Just to help open her up a bit for the last few days of her grow. I also Raised her up about 4 inches. Her hairs are turning brown fast. I have a USB Microscope but its a pain in the ass and its summer, which means all my kids are home. And it will look a little funny if I walk out to my building with a laptop. So I need a moment when they are either gone for a sec or busy. If not Im not too concerned. I will just eye ball it lol. But I think she will be done in the next few days.

Ok. So I checked my ph after 24hrs of bubbling, mainly because like I said in a previous post. My airstones are getting clogged or something. So after a few hours of bubbling, the airstones clog and the air flow slows down drastically. Which in turn, doesnt bubble and do its job. I bought some new air stones. But the ones Im using arent that old. And I they soak in regular water in between bubbling. I probably need to go back to the 5 gallon bucket. It raised in pretty good when I was doing that. Im not even sure it matters as EJ says you can mix and feed and bubbling isnt a must. But it would make me feel better knowing my nutes properly bubbled lol. Blueberry is a little behind these so she actually shouldnt be getting the same mix of nutes, buuuut....F it. She will be fine.

By the way...little K bomb for yall. A little experiment I did last night. So I checked the PH of my nutes, the one in the half gallon. It was in the 4s I checked my regular water, it was 7. So I thought, well... Maybe adding some 7 would bring my 4 up. So I took that half gallon of nutes and added about 1/4th a gallon of regular water......It....did....NOT...work. LOL All it did was dilute my nute mix. SO now we know... That doesnt work. lol

Iv had 3 successful grows without adjust my PH. So I dont know why the ficsation on it. I guess the yellowing of the GC has me concerned. But it could very well be a lack of N

Shes coming along. I will mover her into NL spot after I harvest NL. Right now half or more is in that 3, 3 and a half ft range where the light intensity drops off. She is nice and uniform though. And I like that. :)

Ok, Thats about it. Next time I will give them just water with support nutes.

The GG was a monster as far as drinking. She is alway the 1st to get light in the soil and can consume way more than the others. They all got about the same amount. Be she barely had any runoff. Most of the runoff was from it being fab pots. And alot of times the liquid will come out the sides of the pot. But she drank all that up too. From the bottom. So I put a large portion more in the bottom of her saucer while I cleaned up and drained the others. By the time I was ready to drain what was left in her. It was all gone. Not gonna lie. It was late.......I was stoned.....and it was eerie!

She pretty much gets treated like the rest of them. At least for now. Until I get rid of the NL. So she splits nutes with the rest. Not really any pictures. Not special pics of just her. And if there is I cant tell which is her from looking at these pic on my screen. She is in the back just chilling tho. I will move her directly under the light with the rest after I remove the NL.

Well I chopped her a sec ago. I half ass trimmed her. I half wanted to leave a bit to cover the buds for protection and the other half is I just didnt feel like sitting there any longer and doing it. PLUS I kept her as a whole plant. And trimmed her as a whole. Which makes it a little difficult to trim. And it laying down on its side as I trim was flattening the buds a little. So I just got the biggest part of it and then hung her in my empy tent. I put a RH reader in there to make sure it doesnt get too high. If it does I will open the tent up. RH is high all around right now at 67 Here are some pictures. Unfortunately I forgot to take after trim pics. I was just tired and ready to quit.

OK, so I brought the bucket back out for bubbling the nutes. I have 2, 3 or 4 inch airstones I used in my 1st grow that I am using. Purpose is to try and get my ph to rise back up to around 6 or so. For some reason the last few times I have checked it...and I dont check it often, it hadnt risen back up. And I know it can and will because Iv done it several times. I just dont remember if Iv gotten it to do it since I switched to the independent gallon jug system I have going on. So, I am going to let these bubble for 24hrs, check, if its not risen, I will bubble for another 12hrs and check again, and then again in 12 more, IF the plants allow that is. If they get too thirsty I will go ahead and give it to them and let the microbes do their job. I expect it to be risen after 24 hrs tho. But we will see. I went ahead and added all the nutes except the Mammoth p Terpenez and Microblast. I will add them right before I feed. I made 3 gallons the 3 gallons contained


2tsp BIG BLOOMIN GUANO
15tsp BLOOM
4tsp GROW
2tsp META-K
4tsp CATALYST
4tsp HI-BRIX

She was a beautiful lady congrats on the harvest im sure it can get tiring.. she was so small and compact i cant wait to see what those buds look like!

Its a good problem to have. But the whole time I was doing it I was thinking how I would just much rather do it after its dry. I usually take them after theyre dry, late at night when the kids have fallen asleep. And Ill sneak them in my room and destem them and finish manicuring while I am watching TV. Its much better that way. Dont get me wrong. After they dry they become a pain to manicure. Anyone that manually manicures their bud knows after it dries it becomes much more difficult to manicure as far as just doing it. But At the same time It will be easier because They will be destemed and easier to get to. Im guessing there is about an OZ there. We shall see tho. :)


Checked the tent this morning and the RH was 73. So I aired it out and then left the tent door halfway open. it went down to 69 before I left. Hopefully it went down a bit more. I have a small exhuast fan that I had running my little tent. Im thinking about putting it in the bottom vent port to remove the humidity. But I want them to dry slow. And last few times I dried them faster than I would have liked. Im shooting for 5-7 days. Then she will be destemmed and fully manicured. Then put into mason jars with some B-62 pack to cure.

OK....So I checked the ph of my nutes after 24hrs of bubbling. It hadnt really changed. So I left it bubbling. And checked again a few hrs later and still nothing. So I added a little more air. Came back at about 34 -36 hrs and still the same. SOOOOO I decided to add some Mammoth P to the mix to allow the beneficials to work. I came back this morning which is about 42-44 hrs of bubbling and seen a nice layer of foam. Which I havent been seeing.



20170530_091212.jpg






And then checked the ph and it was around 7.
20170530_091753.jpg
20170530_091654.jpg



I added 1/2tsp to let bubbling. After bubbling I added another tsp making 1/2tsp per gallon. Point of that is I think I next time I will only add 1/4 tsp. Mammoth says not to even bubble it because its already so concentrated. But I think just a little will def help. But I think 1/2 was too much. Maybe half that, and catching my nutes at the right time. I will have my ph at 6.5. Not that I plan to check it anymore. I was starting to think I was crazy tho. Because I knew I used to get my PH up. And now it seemed I just cant seem to do it and was starting to think I was just imagining the fact that I have already went thru all of this in my 1st grow lol. ANYWAY...to any and all of you who are struggling with EJ and its PH. If you cant seem to get the PH up add just a little bit of beneficials whether it be Mammoth P or what ever.

Of course it could just have been the fact that my ppm was pretty high and it needed time. But Im thinking it was the beficials
 
What temp is your water when you go to bubble it... I've been having the same type of problem where the ph doesn't rise when bubbling but I think it might be because my water has been to cold so it's harder for the microbes and bacteria to grow and break stuff down and probably raise the ph I'm thinking of buying an aquarium heater and getting my water/ nute mix to like 70-80 degrees and bubble it... for some reason I think it will help...

Well Im not gonna say thats not gonna help. :) Room temp water is ideal. But I have the same issue with water being cold during the winter. I usually try and put one of my floor heaters pointed in that direction. And I was taking a cup or 2 of hot water and adding it to my reg water before I mix. To warm the water up. And that way hopefully between that and the heater pointed at it it will stay warm enough to do its thang. I just dont remember if I ever checked my ph when I was having cold water problems. I just remember being more worried that the cold water would shock my plants.
As of my water temp in that picture. I would say it was prolly 60-70F hell may have even been up to 75 or so. And that sure didnt hurt. I will try and pay attention this winter and see if I can still get the PH. Cuz even tho I am making the mix in warm water cuz I added hot water. After bubbling 24hrs it will cool down and get cold again. Even with my heater pointed at it. I may take your idea for this winter and buy an aquarium heater.

All I know for SURE is. Last grow I had cold water problems. Along with a low PH the entire grow. And it has been my best grow so far. Averaging almost 3zzs a plant. (I know more can be pulled but Im in 3 gallon pots and doing my best lol) So while Im sure raising EJs Ph would be beneficial. I dont think its a must.

By the way. When you do figure out how to raise your PH thru bubbling. You will see that sometimes you can bubble too long and your PH can get too high. There for a bit a while back I was having to go out there after about 12 hrs to catch it before it got above 7. And that was without adding Mammoth P.

Do you have any kind of Mammoth P or something?

I went and checked NL late last night to see where she was at. It has been almost 4 days of drying. ( I dont know how people get their shit to dry for 10 days. Iv only gotten that once and it was with outdoor plants and I hung them as a whole in humid weather. So it too them a while. But out of 3 indoor grows. The longest Iv gotten them to go was 5 days and that was about a day too long)ANYWAY

So she felt pretty dry. Felt like she still had some moisture in the middle of some of the buds. So she was ready to cure. So I brought her in. Finished manicuring her. And destemmed her. All of the big buds or even some of the smaller ones that seemed to still have a little moisture I put in a new, clean, brown paper bag. I will keep it there for the day and then move it to her jar to finish.


The bud itself is classic summer weed. Airy. Not AS bad as my actual summer weed. But she is pretty airy. So I can only imagine how these others are gonna turn out. I need to add another fan in my tent. She didnt have a strong smell. Kinda grassy/hay/pissy smell. Thats of course smelling her outsides. If you bend her and smell you can smell all the goodness. Which Im hoping comes out in the cure. Ah well. It will be something to smoke. And for sure will be better than the dirt press that goes around here.I just need to make sure I harvest enough in the winter from now on. That gives me nice, thick, dense, smelly, tasty smoke.

Anyhow. Ima check my brown bag of goodness in a bit and see if its ready to go to the jar with some B-62 packs.

A little something about B-62 packs

These things can save your life. Well....maybe not your life but def you weed. Let me tell you all a little story.

Last grow. I had 4 plants. 2 LSDs and 2 Heavyweight Fruit Punches. I harvest 1 lsd and 1 HFP. Dried, and then jarred with B-62 packs as Iv done since I learned of them. I knew I was running low but I am a bit of a procrastinator. After jarring those 2 plants. I ran out..Later a few days later I harvested the last 2. I labeled the 1 set as lsd 1 and hfp1 and of course the 2nd as lsd 2 and hfp2. I didnt have any beveda pack for the second set. But thought no biggie. Iv cured without them. Im fine. So After drying I put them in jars. With no beveda packs. The next day I checked them and they were still dry. But they were and started this way. A weird dry. Like.....Not crunchy...but not wet. It felt like a dry bud, but was FAR from crunchy. The next day when I checked them they was the same. I ordered some packs and stuck all my jars in the dark. I had planned on checking them again to be safe but forgot. I checked after about a week or more. They were very wet and smelled like weed does when you mess up your cure and dont burp it enough. There wasnt any mold or anything. Although at first I was almost into tears cuz I just KNEW there would be. I looked and looked and didnt see any. But the weed smelled kinda like cat piss. If you have ever jarred you weed too soon then you know what I am talking about. So I poured them all in a couple bowls and let it air out and dry again for a day. Stirring the bowl to rotate the buds. After they were dry, this time felt like it should, not really crunchy on the outside, but hard. Thats a better description for it. The outside of the buds get a little hard and stiff. So I jar them back up. Wait 5 or 6 hrs and then did it all over again. My b-62 packs came in but by this point I had actually gotten them properly dried. It sucks because Had I been away and would have done all of this after a couple of days of it first being in the jars. I would have had a perfect proper cure. If you jar your buds to late, there is no cure. Not really. If you dried you shit to the point that you dont have to burp your jars. Then you dried to quick and there really wasnt a cure to your smoke. So getting it into the jars at the right time can be tricky. But I feel I had it perfect. But for some reason. After a day, it never changed. I guess it needed a couple days for the moisture in the middle of the buds to work its way out. IDK. ANYWAY THE POINT IS THIS
After it was all said and done with. Set 1 that had the b packs. I never had to burp, I did a few times just to make sure. But after a few weeks It was Rank Dank kill tasting smoke. The LSD I couldnt even really break up a joint without taking precautions because it would stink up my house. And the Fruit Punch was some of the best tasting weed Iv grown.. Now....Set 2...the set I didnt have B-62 packs..and while I know I was the one to mess up. And you CAN achieve great smoke without. The set without ended up smelling and tasting like cat piss. Again...my fault...but thats my point. Better safe than sorry. And to prevent silly little mistakes that can cost you 5 months of work, They are a God Send.

Gave them some water. They all 4 split 2 gallons. Each gallon contained


1/2tsp MAMMOTH P
1tsp TERPENEZ
1tsp CATALYST


They are showing signs of problems still. Maybe a ph issue or they could just be extremely hungry. Ph should be fixed in a few more water/feeds. Im getting a little aggravated and starting to think synthetics would be alot easier. I doubt theres that much of a taste/smell/quality difference. Feed the soil......THE SOIL ISNT DOING ITS JOB!! Anyway, sorry about that outburst. Here are some pictures

QUESTION


I have my trim from last grow or the grow before. Or maybe both. But the trim is months and months old if not closing on a year. Iv just been drying and shoving in a jar. Now...I went to shove in NL trim and felt that the old trim was a little moist. I dumped it and searched it over real good and didnt see any mold. But the leafs and trim are all brown looking. And dont smell great. I was pretty certain they were dry when I put them in there. But now are wet. My question is

Is this still good to make butter with? Or do you think that the THC has probably broken down or what ever? Its quite a bit which will take quite a bit of room in my crockpot when I get ready to make some more butter. So if its not gonna be any good, or if its gonna leave a shitty horrible taste like it smells, then I dont want to use it.
