VictorVonDoom's 1st Grow - Converted Mini Fridge - Indoor/Soil 2013

[B A R]

Put me down for 21 grams. That's my Guesstamation Vic...

 

[jimbobdaz]

Okay I'll play along... put me down for 19g

 

[CronicHempHog]

hmm ok 18 then
id check the trichs already if you wait till all the pistils wither youll be far past 15% amber

 

[CajunCelt]

Gotta be honest bro. The buds are pretty airy. Take the tips off the top, just a few hairs. Maybe some humic acid & sulphate too. Build those wispy lil boogers right up.

Ahh I see, I haven't heard this before. thanks for pointing this out, I will start checking.

Your not wrong pal, there not bad for a first try, as I made a few mistakes and I've used basically no nutrients, with just plain seedling and cutting compost.

I was wondering if I had left it to late to start tipping the buds?

Humic acid and sulphate (which type of sulphate)
And what do they do to boost the plant?

Safe

 

[b.real]

humic acid speeds up biological processes. lemons do the same thing.

 

[VictorVonDoom]

Thanks b.real, like what you mention to Mono? was it? half a lime, grated (I take it this is without the skin?) to a bucket of water

I personal think that adding any thing at this point in my grow wont effect anything. Also I don't want to add anything to spoil the taste.

Tried the leaf/sap tasting technique recommended by the legend that be CA215 and can't taste any bitterness.

I've been checking the tric's and have spotted some amber's. I think I'm going to leave it till tomorrow or possibly Sunday to bring down.

 

[AfricanGrower]

I'm going to go with 19.5 grams mate : high-five:.

My basic knowledge on humic acid is that it essentially helps the movement of micro nutrients from the medium to the plant's roots.

 

[VictorVonDoom]

Hey AG,

Did a bit of research and came to that conclusion too.

(The final dry results will be recorded after hanging/laying, when the grade is ready to be cured. All leaf will be trimmed (as much as my bob snippers/talent will let me. This will include the sneaky sneaky.)

If you wanna join in just post your guess, no doubling up please

You should inspect the little cluster of purple calyxes for mould.

 

[VictorVonDoom]

hey KingJohnC,

what should I be looking for?

 

[b.real]

cobweb like structures. purple hues just mean you're flushing the P out of her.

 

[VictorVonDoom]

Nah got nuffing that looks like that, I pulled one off when I first seen it to check what it was and that it wasn't a seed. I ended up eating it anyway so it was live.

That sounds more like it, have been flushing for over 15 days

 

[CajunCelt]

The humic acid & rock sulphate can be found in GO's Bud Boost. Liquid Karma by Botanicare too.

I didn't realize you weren't using nutes. Not bad at all! So, if it's a money thing (usually is for me), see if your local hydro store has sample bottles. Be honest & let em know you'd like to try on a single grow.

 

[VictorVonDoom]

fully to do with money, it doesn't make sense for me to buy them on such a small scale. And they would probably go bad before I would have chance to use them.

Never though about asking about sample bottles, I'll do some research

I think I would be better off making some super soil, (fully organic) and then I just have to worry about watering. I think this is the next progression for me.

 

[b.real]

peat moss degrades into humic acid. I think it's really overrated if you have peat moss in your soil. lemon breaks it down even better (well, idk for sure but you get the pooint).

fish fertilizer is really good strong fertilizer but it stinks

they do claim natural acids like humic acid makes plants taste and be better because it helps move things along like lemon

 

[CronicHempHog]

fish emulsion is great stinks like no other tho

 

[Skybound]

A sample 3 part GH nutes is how I did my grow. Actually, it would be good to ask for samples of anything they have samples of, that's why they get them.

 

[CronicHempHog]

I never thought of that but here I don't think the damn hydro shops give out samples
id grab anything free they would offer
