  1. Not sure why every time i load a pic it goes side ways
  2. just a quick example of the size of the colas
  3. Hey bud. I use freedom farms soil and they are in 15l pots. I have a converted watering can with a hose pipe on it to water the back plants. Yes it's all organic. Nothing chem at all. I'm giving nothing but water now as they in final 2 weeks.
  4. UPDATE TIME............... so this is how things are looking, approaching the end of week 6 this sunday. Another 2 to 3 more weeks left
  5. Update time just 3 pics
  6. Just had a read and the AN line of voodoo juice is for your plants roots Maximum-development of roots on your seedlings, transplants and clones Your roots have enhanced branching, root density, root mass Enhanced efficiency of nutrient intake, saving you time and money The voodoo juice i have is completely different in every way so they are not copying anyone its just a name. The AN voodoo juice is just beneficial microbes, same as my Probiotic nutrients.
  7. I managed to steal some from a top secret government lab lol still in experimental stages. Hahaha but seriously I got it from some really cool guys who are busy testing it out. It's not for resale yet. I'm just being the Guinne pig. They have an entire nutrient line they are developing to be used with their soils.
  8. An update with the nutes im using. So started giving my plants these nutrients. The voodoo juice is a Calcium Potasium flower booster. made with bonemeal. I have probiotic ( same as bokashi ) then Kelp and Fish mix. I use the Biobizz Grow and Bloom as my base
  9. I have, I called and the papers or guidlines are still being drawn up, I had a nice chat with the Director. She told me that as soon as its done they will post it up on their website. There will be a huge process involved and a business plan must be put together. Also anyone can apply, you do not need a phd or anything. However having a someone in that line of work already is a good help
  10. The Secrets of Foliar Spraying Your tomato plants look limp and sickly. Their lower leaves have turned a nasty yellow between the veins. You need to do something quickly. Searching the web, you discover your tomatoes have magnesium deficiency. Under the bathroom sink, you find an old bag of Epsoms Salts and an empty spray bottle. Dissolving a tablespoon of the salts in a couple of pints of warm water, you spray the leaves of the tomato plants all over. A couple of days later, the plants are bright green and healthy again. From this example, it looks like foliar spraying could be the magic bullet we are all looking for. Within one hour, according to the scientists, a plant can transports minerals from its leaves all the way down to its roots. Compared to root feeding, this looks like the fast track. However, foliar spraying is not an alternative to good growing methods. It is best seen as a powerful addition that has its own secrets for success. Mineral Deficiency Spraying Spraying for mineral deficiencies can be particularly effective: magnesium for tomatoes, zinc for grapes, boron for many vegetables; the list is long and complex. Plants signal their need for help by exhibiting distress in leaf, bud and flower. As the plant’s ‘primary care person’, your task is to diagnose the problem and provide corrective procedures. Mineral spraying acts rather like an injection; it gets the medicine into the plant’s system as quickly and efficiently as possible. The main stumbling block is our limited diagnostic skills. Each species of plant has both general and specific mineral needs. When these minerals are missing from the soil or hydroponic solution, a range of confusing symptoms appear. We may not discover the specific reason quickly enough to prevent plant collapse. Even when we do, that plant will take time to recover and may never reach optimum productivity. Spraying for mineral deficiencies is emergency medicine -- fast and efficient. To be successful, we need to know which element is missing and have the cure ready to hand. This is not always possible, so, in general, it is better to think in terms of prevention rather than cure. We do not wait until sick to take vitamins (a contraction of ‘vital minerals’). Just so, rather than spraying when a deficiency appears, put in place a program of foliar fertilization to increase plant health and resilience. If deficiency spraying is specific first aid, foliar fertilization is preventative health care. Foliar Fertilization We all have had the basic course in fertilization: plants need NPK – nitrogen, phosphorous and potassium. This is like saying humans need carbohydrates, fats and protein. It tells us the basics but certainly does not say how to eat well. We need a balanced diet with nourishing foods -- and plants are similar. They prefer nutrients in which the complex chemicals are bound organically. Rather than a dose of chemical nitrates, plants thrive best on organic products that provide not only the NPK but also a range of trace elements. Vegetation evolved in the oceans, bathed in a solution containing every imaginable mineral. Seaweed takes food directly from seawater. Land plants, like their marine ancestors, can take in nourishment through the pores or stomata on their leaf surfaces. Stomata are tiny mouths that breathe in CO2 and exhale water and oxygen. They also transport nutrients up to ten times more efficiently that root systems. Foliar feeding bolsters the nutrients available to each plant, like a regular dose of vitamins and supplements. Most vegetation requires a minimum of 16, but probably more like 50 essential minerals and trace elements. Is it just coincidence that some of the best providers of these elements come from the ocean? Fish products are high in organic nitrogen; kelp is a wonderful source of minerals, particularly potassium, while algae has a range of trace elements and hormones beneficial for cellular development. Research suggests that natural sea salt contains a vast range of trace elements. When sprayed in a very diluted form, sea minerals provide most elements needed to prevent deficiencies. Foliar fertilization is fast becoming an essential addition to standard cultivation techniques. For many growers who have grown up with chemicals, it is a small step to organic fertilization – the NPK is just packaged differently. However, there is another, less well-known aspect to plant cultivation based on biology rather than chemistry -- the realm of the microbes. Spraying with Compost Tea When plants evolved on land, they formed an alliance with the microbial life in the soil and air. Certain species of bacteria and fungi became the chefs that prepared the plant’s food, the medics that helped them fight disease. Plants like to dine on biologically predigested nutrients; it is easier for them to assimilate. Healthy plants have a strong immune system that includes a ‘bio-film’ of microbial life on the roots, stems and leaves. To make use of these biological principles to feed and protect our plants, we can spray with compost tea. Compost tea is “brewed” by aerating a mixture of water, compost (sometimes humus or worm castings), and organic nutrients such as molasses, kelp, fish emulsion, and yucca. This produces a nutrient-rich solution containing vast colonies of beneficial bacteria and fungi. The microbes digest the nutrients into organic compounds that can be easily taken in by the plant. These same microbes colonize the surface of the leaves to help fight off disease. When you spray with compost tea, you envelope the plant with living organisms -- and you enhance the web of life of which the plant is a part. The results can be astounding: large, mineral rich vegetation with clear glossy leaves, decreased disease, and even lessened insect attacks. Plants treated with foliar fertilization and especially compost tea have higher “Brix” levels – a measure of the carbohydrates and mineral density in the sap. High Brix is said to make the plants less attractive to pests and more resilient to stress. If they are vegetables, they even taste better! Compost tea, unlike mineral sprays and foliar fertilization, cannot be over-applied and does not burn leaves. The microbe-rich droplets drip off the leaves to improve soil and growing solutions. Those same microbes can clean up toxic chemicals and turn them into nutrients. For growers who regularly use compost tea, there is nothing better. The main drawback is that brewed compost tea is not always available and, being alive, has a limited shelf life. If you brew your own compost tea, it needs to have the best ingredients and proven test results. Whether you apply a mineral solution to deficient plants, have a regular foliar fertilization program or go the distance with compost tea, foliar spraying benefits your plant quickly and profoundly. Find that old spray bottle; hook up your hose-end sprayer; invest in a commercial spray pack. Once you see the results, you will never neglect this method of plant care again. Tips on Spraying Below are guidelines for foliar spraying: Apply foliar fertilization or sprayed compost tea every two to three weeks during the growing season.
  11. Check for aphids or mites, sometimes they eat the leaves from the bottom, just saying check hahaha, otherwise stop foilar feeding, your suppose to only foilar once maybe twice a week
  12. Just wondering if any of the more experienced guys would maybe help me out with some suggestions for boosting trichome and yield production for my girls. I am using the Freedom Farms organic living soil as well as bio grow and bloom with some amino mix and molasses and kelpak i soil drench. Is kelp meal any good and alfalfa meal for flowering
  13. ****End of Week 3*** Going to start increasing the flowering nutes Bio Bloom to 4ml p/l now It was on 2 / 2.5ml but i think they can handle it now, Wish i could get my hands on some bat guano that stuff back in the day was the shit, literally. I was going to keep the Lemon Skunk going as well as the amnesia lemon but holy smokes they are stretchers and a grow rooms worst nightmare hahaha ( unless done in a SOG style take like 36 or however many clones root them and then veg for a week and flower. or straight into flower. I prefer the indicas and hybrid variety to be honest. I have the Cinderella 99 and the Ultimate Purple going at the moment. Like i said i went with regular seeds to get stronger genetics and to have a bit of fun seeing what i get. For some reason all my pictures are on their sides i have been trying to rotate them on my pc by they just keep uploading that way, maybe Admin can sort something out, otherwise it looks like i have THEEEEE best vertical wall garden ever
  14. Greetings everyone, this is just another update of how things are looking, I have had to rearrange the girls around tall plants on the outside and small plants on the inside, kinda like a U Scrog hahaha. Its working lovely so far. The one in the middle is trained in the shape of a U anyways so its a U scrog with in a U scrog haha but ja im happy. Got the 2 600watts in there. One is a HPS the other is a MH and HPS mix ( 200w MH and 400w HPS in one bulb )
  15. As the Subject says, Anyone ever tried Honey instead of molasses, I see in the Humbolt Countys Own nutrient line the one product uses honey Deep Breath - Humboldt County's Own Deep Breath. If you’ve been impressed by the immediate and powerful effect of G 10 on the size and density of your flowers, wait till you add Deep Breath to your feeding regimen. Our honey and vitamin based cocktail, Deep Breath, “primes the pump” during the vegetative and early bloom stage so plants experience an explosive surge in bulk when G10 is applied beginning the 3rd week of bloom. The Deep Breath/ G 10 combo boosts yields to unheard of levels. Even beginners will see incredible effects in 10 days. Use 1 teaspoon per gallon every feeding beginning in veg and continue through the second week of bloom. Use ½ to 1 teaspoon per gallon in hydro. For even better results foliar spray clones with ½ teaspoon per gallon every other day. Fasten your seatbelts! Blow it Up!
  16. Hey Dabtzar thanks so much for the comment I wont be planning on making any extract however depending where you are, once im done with it you may have all my trim if you would like it to make some hash haha
  17. #### Flowering Room Update #### Here are the 4 Buddahs, 3 Lemon Skunks and the 4 Amnesia Lemons, The Amnesia Lemon stretched 3 times her height when switched as did the Lemon Skunk, The Amnesia Pheno i have finishes in 9 weeks i think cause of the lemon skunk cross. She is haze all the way though when cured and smoked. Lemon skunk, She finishes in a 8 weeks 9 weeks would be ideal
  18. Hey guys and gals, So i thought instead of making a whole new thread ill just add on to this one, I will post some more pics of whats happening in the flowering room laters. New project is going to be fun. I have some BC Bud Depot - Ultimate Purple, 3 beans soaked 3 beans sprouted. And then i have 2 Brothers Grimm Seeds - Cinderella99, 2 soaked 2 sprouted. I will keep a post going here and updates of whats happeneing. These are regular seeds as i wanted the genetics to be strong and should i be lucky enough to get a female from either or. And then i have the chance of the female being shite haha but its fun never the less and im sure i will be blessed with something nice. O and I have taken 8 Training Day clones so hoping those will root.
  19. Hi guys, just an update of my current indoor grow, 4 Buddah Cheese 4 Amnesia Lemons and 3 Lemon Skunks
  20. Only with some highly concentrated sugar water. LOL...............
  21. Had to chop her down today due to some unexpected family trip so people arrive this weekend so shit should be dried by then, so here are some pics of the Amnesia Lemon 1 week maybe 9 days too early from chop
  22. Hey guys. So here is an update. Out of 16 plants i was only able to get 10 in there. Ill be fixing up the other 600 tomorrow. Need to make a plan now for another vegging room to keep the 8 lemon skunk clones going and the other few pla ts that where vegging. Enjoy ill post more pics
  23. Is this still opon? Feel like a badge. When you gonna do more monthly comps?
  24. Shot buddy, your more than welcome to taste some when its ready
