Radogast's 2018 Basement Adventure

[bobrown14]

Hey Rad... subbing up for flowers... website coming along ... me thinks a "person in charge" in own mind did a booboo ... Likely a "gatekeeper" type of software and/or hardware "professional" didn't like something or other is my guess.

Many wishes of good health to your girls and the ladies. Now back to trying to figure out how to

my gallery.

Use the camera icon Bobby, that is if you've uploaded the pics.

The way I heard it, the 420 phone app company forced an update on phone app users - mucking up their access to the website, so they "fast tracked" the conversion. Seems like they used a database from Mid November for "Watched" lists. I'm just going to ignore my member gallery for a month and upload new photos the new way

Hey there Bob, to use the function of that ICON you need to have the URL of the image. If you have access to your gallery (most pre update pics are not viewable there yet), open it in another page/tab and get the links that way. Seems that would be a 'one by one' process though - much easier to use the camera ICON, it takes you to you latest gallery additions and you can select whatever pics you want in the order you want them to appear. It's pretty efficient!

Powering down the Flower area

My half ounce Haze x Kali China was mature (77? days) so chopped her and hung her. The only other girl in the flower area was a 60 day Guawi with maybe 3 grams on her. My last Guawi went 93 days, but I'm not paying to light and heat a flower area to toast 3 grams for a month. We'll see what she's like lightly toasted .

The flower area, empty and ready for cleaning. The falling leaves and runoff from the hempy did a number on my perlite sitting under the plants. I plan to bag the green and brown perlite and mix in with outdoor soil sometime this summer.

Yeah tough to justify the electricity needed to produce that amount. Sorry about the disappointing harvest

A Tale of Two Lillys

Lilly transplanted from hempy to soil is growing fine. She had her first drink of GE fertilizer water today. Her last drink was 23 days ago when she was transplanted and soaked up weak tea.

Garden Update

Lilly's clone sister in perlite seems to have grown only an inch or two with no side growth.

Lilly's clone sister in perlite is also growing flowers. She may have been placed too far from the light at one time.

Garden Update

• Feb 22, 2018

The other two clone sister pairs (one in perlite, one transplanted from perlite to soil) have about the same difference in growth: the soil girls have about 5 times as much new growth since transplant.

None of the other clones look like they are flowering.

I'm sorry too

On the plus side, it looks like we have the old smilies today, we just have to remember the codes

 

[Van Stank]

Any idea why the yield was so low? Had you ever run that strain before?

You don't need to remember the code. Click on the smiley face in the tool bar then there are 3 tabs. I suspect they are still loading more. Yeti said they have to load 1 at a time.

I think it was Overlord that mentioned the one uploaded at a time thing. Unless I am forgetting something I posted

I'm hearing the Blues Brother's Theme song - I'm a Soul Man --do-do-doot-do-do-doobie Soul Man - Bada- ba-baddam

lmao i was just watching a movie earlier and it had that song on there so i had to listine to it on u tube lol then u mention it on here haha to funny. Well im glad ur garden is starting to take a turn for the better and that things are looking better. and congrats on that harvest and with the dried buds they sure do look tastey. I have some strawberry cake that i took down all her popcorn buds and let the other bigger buds finish up more and get alil fatter. They are starting to really foxtail now. Now im just waiting for the hairs to amber up and the triches to go from cloudy to amber themselves a tad more. Then the rest will get the chop to lol. But yea things are lookn good on ur end now hope they stay that way for you namaste.

I gave a half assed try at hempy with osmocote and no other nutes in the house - not even cal mag... I tried low PH and they turned all brown so I threw these girls into flower before they lost all their fan leaves -------- Your basic newbie can't grow plants kind of problem. The strains are fine and their clones are doing well

I'm still growing some hempy with osmocote - they are not browning as much with higher PH water (near 6.5) but they are coasting along, no energy in their growing. I'm focussing on Doc Bud HiBrix soil again, so I may not sort it out, just might let the hempy die off.

I've been watching your recent grow with major respect. Frostier and bigger almost every harvest.

Hey all strains yield differently. You could grow 2' long beasters that bearly getta a buzz.... Or something that could work well.... and lose hlaf the yield......... I'd go for the better smoke anydays... But we have to learn a strain.............

Right now, I have 5 hempy and 7 HiBrix (2 HiBrix seedlings). One of the hempy, Guawi, looks like it might come back strong but it's been vegging a long time, probably too long.

I've tried a couple of LONG veg times with ailing plants, one went a full year, and they just never had the energy to produce much bud once they went into flower. Guawi looks woody a bit high up. She might surrise me

My girls are in a race to get into the flower area. All the girls are eligible. There is space for all the good performers, but if they arent looking good, they won't get rewarded with the flowering lights. The hempy girls aren't looking good yet.



HEY! I took photos this morning, I'll post some

what makes u think u put the kali haze into hibrix soil pot to soon??

Doc Bud is telling folks not to go into the final size pot until you are ready to put the plant into flower. The same day or within a couple of days.

There are only so many nutrients in the soil, and there is a scheduled nutrient 'bump' with EWC and Recharge right before flowers 'set'. With a pot under 15 gal there is a good chance of exhausting the soil before flowering finishes.

I've transplanted weeks before flower many times, so I know she would produce fine buds this way.
It's sort of a HiBrix Pro-tip for the difference between pretty darn good and magnificent buds.


Coming from no-till, I wasn't thinking this way and didn't learn it until recently.

In this case I will probably do a second nutrient bump with EWC and Recharge about 5 weeks into flower to make up for the early transplant.


For you:

The coots style mix and potent teas you are using seem to have a larger overall nutrient load that the basic HiBrix I am doing. It probaby isn't an issue for you.


P.S. I mislabelled yesterday. This girl is a Carnival
