Nope

Long time... The severe cold we experienced in the highveld slowed things down quite considerably since the last update. They have recovered quite nicely, the plan is to let them veg for the rest of the week and flip to 12/12 on Sunday to get them to show gender. Once this has been determined, reveg and selection. If you see any promising plants please feel free to comment, selection is not a strong point. Only 4 will stay in the tent the balance is going outside to do their thing. I have an agreement with a mate to house the best of any males with the intention of harvesting pollen for possible future chucking. 

24 July highs and lows  

This morning. 

• µs - around 1500

Thank you so much.. So one spray the plants with that and then immediately after with the prefered solution? With the sulpher I mix the dishwashing liquid in with it. Can I not do the same with the potasium bicarb?

Sorry for the delayed reply. I believe you can add it to the solution you intend spraying.

Anny DIY wetting agents maybe?

 

You can use a weak Sunlight soap solution. I'm not sure on dilution ration, cant be more than a few drops per ltr.

Yeah yeah bra. And the online DSTV Now catch up has all 7 episodes to watch. 

We watched 6 last night, will watch 7 when I get back from this mornings activities. Tre is monster, the power in his kicks. Eina legs!

Fully agree with you man. He pulled a Lance Armstrong and got caught for good. Fuck weed suspension but EPO is on amother level. 

I got Cory all the way. His last 2 fights against Marlon Moraes and Frank Edgar was exceptional. He has the full arsenal of MMA skills to challenge for the title. His loss against Sterling taught him a lot. 

But then again who can put up a fight against Yan and expect to win (except if he disqualifies himself. Lol)

Petr is a beast ! He would have finished Stirling off had he not been disqualified. I'm very keen on the rematch.

Fair enough man. If you do get some time in between all of the episodes are on DSTV catch up. There have been a couple of cracking fights thus far.

Who do you have for this weekend between Cory and TJ?

TJ has ALOT to lose if he doesn't perform here coming back from the doping ban. That said Cory has a super opportunity to shine for the boss man Dana. As we saw with Kris "the punching bag" Moutinho(LOL), fight of the night can change your world in minutes. That hunger may just give him the edge over TJ.

@Adansonia digitata do you follow TUF?

I haven't been following, there are not enough hours in the week unfortunately. 

LOL! 

There should be a UFC/EFC/combat sports thread.

Looking good so far, as others have mentioned typically most water after potting up to ensure all the medium is nicely saturated!

Also the inconsistent sizes when they were smaller is unlikely to be grower error, this is likely to be the seeds germinating at different days and being different pheno types and is quite common  

 

Removing those bottom leave won't cause any issues, although leaving them and letting them sit in the medium and getting wet when watering won't cause issues or harm to the plant, but those leaves may get a little bit of burn - although not an issue either way. I personally like to keep my plants nice and neat and remove excess leaves and stems early on, why let it grow when it will just get removed later on anyways?

 

Seems you are running coco with some perlite, although what nutes are you using? It just states straights? Not sure what that is?

Plants are looking very happy though!

 

Shoes look like Ultraboost ST's?

I love my Ultraboosts, the uncaged are some of the most comfortable shoes I have ever owned and tried on. The Ultraboost 21 are also very nice!

Thank you for your reply. I am running in Solar Boosts at the moment, I couldn't get Ultras in my size at the time and I needed shoes like yesterday. The are the shit, super light and comfy as. 

Straights are fertilizers which only supply single, sometimes two elements as apposed to a complete NPK formulation. All people growing in coir are using a straight in the form of Calcium Nitrate to ensure there is no Nitrogen draw down. Calcium Nitrate is a straight supplying only N and Ca - Ca(NO3)2 is the formulation. Basically you blend your own nutrient formulations using water soluble N, P and K components(and micro nutrients). This is my first attempt at this kind of nutrition, I am fortunate to have guidance from a very cleaver lady friend who is a commercial flower farmer. It's a learning curve for both of us, so I don't want to go into depth regarding what, when and how much until we have solid data. Once we have it waxed, I will share the findings in a separate post dealing with that minefield subject.  Well spotted, you are the only person who noticed.

No problem in removing them, I sometimes do when planting seedlings so I can get more of the stem buried for stability purposes. 

As long as the seedling looks healthy and you feel like it can handle the additional stress, go for it. I see removing foliage from a plant as removing pieces of armour. If the plant is battling, I usually don't remove foliage until healthy growth resumes. 

Dankie. I'll prune them this evening. 

Seedlings have recovered almost fully. Is it a bad idea to remove the leaves marked with the arrows in the below image. Little concerned with their contact with the substrate may cause issues.

I run about 200km a month. The shoes take a pounding and need to be replaced every 600-700km depending on brand. So with frequent new shoes the colours range quite wildly.

Looking a little shocked. Transplanted them this morning. Silica folia and a humic drench.

Nice to look at, these pots are rad. 

Shock, maybe planted a little deep as well.

@Adansonia digitata looking very good bro. Very nice root base to work with. 

Happy that you are sharing your grow again. What strains are you running?

Thank you. Still learning. 

17 June - Week 3... still.

Moving along swiftly, they will be repotted into the 10ltr square pots tomorrow. 

PH - 6.22

µs - 1021

Roots are lekker. All 10 seedlings have roots coming out the bottom of the tray. 

Firstly, Hope you members from KZN are all safe. That shit was WILD, man! 

12 June - Week 3 

Not uniform growth, it's likely a user error.

How are things going here family?

Love to see an update picture

I was away for work. I'll be back later this morning. 

Holy shit! 

Spent some time going through HD's of tunes this weekend. All parties featured are cool as fuck!

I just don't know if Conner's body can keep up anymore. These lower leg breaks, famed by Anderson Silva initially, from checking or performing lower leg kicks are starting to become good signifiers of one's end of career in UFC. I haven't seen someone really come back that strong when things like this start happening to them.

I think Conner should but on some boxing gloves and go make a couple million dollars slapping a YouTuber around or something rather, cash in the money and be a family man, or couch up another Irish fighter back home and bring him to the UFC. 

You are completely right about coming back after that injury. Even if he does managed a great recovery, that leg will always be a soft spot that opponents will take advantage of.  He can retire a very wealthy man, the deal with Proximo Spirits for Proper 12 is valued at $600 million(not sure what his cut is) add to that the $100 million he made facing Floyd, money problems not in his lexicon. That said, humans who perform on that level struggle to walk away into the sunset. Will be interesting to see where he turns up. If there is a 4th fight... tbc. 

Eina. Even before that snap happend, he was getting beat up. 

Dricus!

I want to first see what Conner looks like and talks like at the weigh-in. If I see a spark of back-in-the-day OG Conner, I might have to ride with him.

Wonderboy 100%

I really don't like Sean O'Malley but he is definitely the better fighter, so my bet is on him to win.

Yana of course 

An additional match I feel is being overlooked is Ryan Hall at Lightweight. He's a jiu jitsu god and always spectacular to watch. 

I watched a few rounds and a couple highlight packages for his previous fights. The dude is a jiu jitsu beast. Thanks for the heads up, I'll keep an eye on him. 

Enjoy the fights, dude.
