welcome harley! and cheers Dasher! yep.. its all go from here on out ;] put the last beans in today.. i have a choice, one of the cindies didnt germinate so i cracked another couple of holy grail kush beans too.. so i got 2 HGK, 1 cindy 99 and a white widow x big bud... im gonna put the extra HGK's in but not sure which of the other 2 i'll put in.. i know the cindy is a freak when it comes to vigorous growth so it MAY be an issue with other less vigorous plants... in terms of lifting the light etc BUT i know she is a GREAT yielder! ... but im hoping i can get some decent weight with the big bud addition to the white widow genetics too ... might be the toss of the coin by the end of it

I'm on the last hour of it right now and its been a solo work day with bong hit breaks lol. Maybe next year i can make it to a festival and spread some love around. Have a great week my bfam, looking fwd. to seeing your talent again. Solo can be a really cool thing, i sure love it more this year:) last year was horrid.
Reps bro keep up the awesome job with those sprinklers i love watching your plants explode with them colas

yeah brother i can hardly wait to get all of that harvest and not have to split it! loL really digging your little OGK's too bro, fine bonsai indeed!! yeah i recall your discontent with your situation last year and im so happy for ya bro, that you kicked him to the curb and went solo- wish i was there to back ya up kuz but im sure you got things sorted and look forward to seeing you dialed in and hitting festivals with that slingblade nuggage! "bro, this is the OG sling right hur!! daayem, that shit kicks like a freakin mule!" :cheesygrinsmiley:

just a little info on the use of triacontanol:

"Experiment #2 – Growth of Plants

Although some scientists and plant growers have seen remarkable increases in growth and production of plants from alfalfa and triacontanol, subsequent field tests by Ries and by other scientists from the U.S.D.A., universities and chemical companies have proved inconsistent and disappointing. Ries attributes most of the problems to the methods of formulation of triacontanol in that the long chain alcohol is very insoluble in water and in most other solvents. Ries and others have used combinations of solvents, detergents and surfactants in efforts to keep triacontanol in solution. The authors had a batch of triacontanol that had been opened for several months and this sample defied all attempts to get it in solution. A.J. Welebir is reported to have found additional requirements such as a solution at a pH of 8 or higher and the presence of metal ions such as calcium in the triacontanol solution. Using a solution of triacontanol with the above additions, Welebir has produced even more amazing growth and production than others have achieved and has done it consistently.

Materials for experiment #2 consisted of eight first-year rooted cuttings (clones) of genetically identical plants of W. Delp's hybrid rhododendron (R. pink carolinianum x R. scintillans) #1. The cuttings were about the same size, consisting of one or two stems, small leaves and fairly uniform small root systems. They were placed in a rooting bed in a cold greenhouse (minimum temperature was 40°F.) The soil mixture was equal parts of peat and perlite. Bottom heat of 80°F was present. One mg of 1-triacontanol was dissolved in one ml of chloroform, carefully diluted with de-ionized water to make a 0.1 mg/liter solution. (Ries had found that aqueous solutions containing small amounts of chloroform had no effect on plants.) The pH of the solution was 5.3. The pH of the rooting mixture was 5.5. No calcium ions were present except in buffers found in the well-water (pH 7) with which the plants were sprayed at frequent intervals.

The trial began in mid-January when plants were dormant. Six of the eight plants were painted thoroughly with the triacontanol solution and this was repeated in one week and again in mid-April. In May the rooted cuttings were transplanted to individual pots. In June only four of the 8 plants were sprayed and in August only 2 of the 8 plants were sprayed making 5 the maximum number of doses for two of the plants.

Figure II illustrates the difference in growth between the total controls and the plants receiving 5 treatments. Five different measurements of growth were taken in early October.


Figure II Measurements of five different aspects of growth of rooted cuttings of a rhododendron hybrid, both untreated and treated with 0.1 mg triacontanol/liter.
TYPE OF MEASUREMENT------CONTROL PLANTS--PLANTS TREATED 5 TIMES--INCREASE
Total Weight (minus soil)------30.2 g-------------83.1 g---------------------275%
Diameter of trunk at base-----4.0 mm------------8.0mm---------------------100%
Number of branches-----------4------------------10------------------------150%
Number of leaves-------------62-----------------167------------------------269%
Number of flower buds---------4------------------8-------------------------100%

The first results of the experiment was an obvious premature break in dormancy within the first two weeks in the triacontanol treated plants (end of January), whereas dormancy did not end until early May in the control plants. After 2 months the growth in treated plants was double that of the untreated plants. At the end of the growing season the amount of growth roughly paralleled the number and duration of treatments. A fantastic amount of growth had occurred especially in those plants which had 4 and 5 treatments over most of the growing season. Those receiving 5 treatments had tertiary branching as compared to secondary branching in those with 3 and 4 treatments and primary branching in the remainder. The root system after 5 treatments appeared proportionately larger than other aspects of the plant. One of the most profound differences was that of a total weight of 2¾ times greater in maximally treated plants as compared to untreated plants. Of great interest also was the double number of blossom buds in maximally treated plants and the diameter of those buds was twice that of the untreated plants.

Scientists have been mystified by the mechanism of action of triacontanol on plants. We have nothing to add to solve the mystery of why the addition of trace amounts of triacontanol to a plant which already had much greater amounts of this chemical will produce doubling or tripling of growth in some instances. Why or how does it increase flowering and productivity? How does triacontanol replace light, produce growth in the dark and break dormancy in plants? All of these are highly desirable qualities.

Crop production, like blossom and seed production, is dramatically increased and at trifling cost. Rooting of cuttings and seedling production is enhanced.

It is obvious that the proper use of 1-triacontanol and other newly discovered natural substances will revolutionize the plant and farming industries. The world-wide mass starvation of people, which has been predicted because of our destruction of farmland, may be delayed.

Nurserymen can produce larger, healthier and more mature plants in much less time and less expense than at present, also they will be able to force a greater variety of plants with more numerous and larger flowers than formerly possible. These changes do not appear to reduce hardiness in the plants. These are but a few examples of changes which will guarantee a revolution in the plant industry with the use of these new plant growth regulators."

great info alk, my bloom booster heavy fire has triacontanol in it . could be why its soo expensive.

glad i noticed your new journal in your sig. i'm subbed
:Namaste:

welcome ronnie! :cheesygrinsmiley:

yeah i think the only issues with triacontanol is finding good formulations that can keep it in colloidal/solution form without compromising on potency(recommended ppms for proven results as per original article(s)) and quality. there are some nice formulations locally and abroad tho, from reputable sources with a name to represent.. i had initially wanted to work with pure triacontanol(and GA-3) but after looking at the research i think it will be so much easier to just work with growth promotant formulations where they have done the hard work already :p ive decided to go with a local formula incorporating triacontanol AND gibberellic acid(GA-3) so im very very interested to see what it do! :cheesygrinsmiley:

thanks for stopping in bro! :welcome:

looking pretty sweet mo! looks like she's liking a bit of bondage- as they all do ;p you may need to put up a bit of a journal brother, to document her progress over the coming weeks, always great to look back on journals :cheesygrinsmiley:

all the best with your lady there mo :thumb: i look forward to seeing her buxomous and tacky as can be ;]]
