Justin Hemp Posted February 19, 2018 Share Posted February 19, 2018 Cheers guys, we shall have to wait and see, the soil was pulled away from the pot right the way round to a depth of maby a cm... That's almost totally dry, she hasn't looked wilted though but what's done is done and I'll play the waiting game with her, cheers JH and CG...:yipeeee8-) Water is okay, make sure you ph to 6.5 as best as possible. Don't know what's in the soil but that may also be a bit rich and has stunned to the point whereby it has nutrient lock out Sent from my ALE-L02 using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smeegol Posted February 20, 2018 Author Share Posted February 20, 2018 Ok boys, you can take the BOXING gloves off and use your bare fists to moer me, I've reached a point where I'm so fed up with my grow and want to bliksem everything away.... But before I did that this morning I decided to test out the pH pen I have cause being so close to the Drakensberg my water should be the schnizzle hence never using my ph pen..... 8.9..................8 point f.cking 9............:-hairpull:-hairpull:readtherules There are rules to follow Bart, follow the f.cking rules it's simple, trying to be like Usain Bolt, but actually like Oscar.... What a twat, a bloody stupid twat..... No wonder my @$%# is taking so long to grow, I'm about to give it all up and boom TRY the pH pen, that's why you bought the damn thing... So 2 questions before you guys get physical and knock my head off please ( as I won't remember anything after you guys moer me ) When doing an AACT or adding nutes, do I pH water before or after, as I've read when doing nutes you pH after... What a knob, Charlie , retard and any other suitable names I could call you Hochymama....:-hilarious Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimmy-z Posted February 20, 2018 Share Posted February 20, 2018 Nutes can alter your PH, so PH after. Also depends on the nutes; some have a neutral PH. Sent from my SM-N950F using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
420SA Posted February 20, 2018 Share Posted February 20, 2018 When doing an AACT or adding nutes, do I pH water before or after, as I've read when doing nutes you pH after... Don't adjust PH after brewing an AACT. You shouldn't need to adjust PH when growing organic, soil should do that for you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't adjust PH after brewing an AACT. You shouldn't need to adjust PH when growing organic, soil should do that for you. That's if you have a proper organic soil with a buffer I suspect 420? I don't think he has put together a true organic soil, therefore I would advise to ph. Yeah at 8.9 it not able to take up many of the nutrients if any.

Smeegol Posted February 21, 2018 Author Share Posted February 21, 2018 Afternoon guys, can't say thanks for all the advice it's much appreciated you won't believe. I was on the farm today and my sister in law has a big enclosed veg garden with a separate enclosed area( my old veg garden from town ) moved the whole frame to the farm. She doesn't use it at all and it's overgrown inside and got bits n bobs lying around. Not sure of measurements but I will get that on Friday or tomorrow if I go out. I asked her if she's going to do anything in there and she said if I grow her Crohn's meds for her I can carry on... So I moved my OG mother to the farm on Thursday due to space restrictions in my box and didn't want her to become emancipated in those conditions. She has exploded being out in the sunshine and is looking sexy as.... I know the outdoor season is almost at an end but was wondering bout seeing how she does till she buds... She may reveg as she's not in flower yet... So a monster next summer maby or will she flower before winter....? So I'm moving all prospective ladies to the farm once I've sorted out that area and I've got a lot of compost material from the veg garden.. I am going to follow 420SA[/member] amended ccoots soil mix. Can I use top soil from the farm once it's cooked properly as I'd like to have the organic soil up and running for early spring 2018, decent soil = decent girls... In the meantime I'm going to carry on cloning and tinkering around with different methods as I have the space now... I'll still have my box going but going to focus solely on 1 girl as I overshot too quickly and strayed off the path... But I will do a farm journal of that new grow... So thanks guys for your help, you ou's are the bomb and any comments are more than welcome....:-puffpass Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smeegol Posted February 25, 2018 Author Share Posted February 25, 2018 Morning guys, hope you all had a fab weekend. Small update today..... So my biggest girl I dropped yesterday and managed to severe a branch, so not the best of days but she was Bagseed and my test subject which I've messed up quiet a bit. So picked up the offending branch and examined her and found hundreds of tiny spots on her which I never noticed as that branch is normally the furthest away from me when I open up in the evening.. Read up on what it could be...? Leaf Septoria..... Then I have the 4 flux/manifold girls, no.4 is my weakest so she will be leaving her friends behind today.... And finally out of my 4 OG clones, 3 survived, 1 I've gifted and the last 2 are going to stay cozy with me till I've got my schnizzle ready on the farm, that starts this week... A question if I may please, might sound stupid... I have 5lt bubbled water, I've brought pH down to 6.4-6.5, I've watered the girls, now I have 3 liters left ( did this Friday ) this morning I pH'ed the 3lt left and pH had risen to 8.1-8.2.... So does pH fluctuate after you have amended it a cpl days before. I used bottle lemon juice... Do have lemon in the garden, but no fruit ready yet... Have a great day guys....

Justin Hemp Posted March 11, 2018 Share Posted March 11, 2018 That spot is gonna be off the charts brother !! Some real great pics there and do I spot some lightning? Are you keeping them all outdoors?

Smeegol Posted March 17, 2018 Author Share Posted March 17, 2018 Afternoon everyone, been busy on the farm this week, no pics today. But will grab some in the new week. @JH420, everything except autos will go straight into flowering, will be using my box as veg for those that are going to run come spring time... Got some planter boxes done this week, and go from there..... Have a great afternoon everyone..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smeegol Posted March 19, 2018 Author Share Posted March 19, 2018 I'm Well I can say it's flipping hot today, and winter thinks it's on it's way. Not much crazy going on, the farm yard is all good, planter boxes are in and look amaze balls thanks for an awsome idea @sunvalley 420mag. 1. OG clone, went straight into flowering mode when I planted her outside. 2. The OG mother and a cpl seedlings. according to breeder, she should be ready 4/5/18 3. Planter boxes, 2 are empty and 1 is in use. There are another 2 OG clones ( bottom row ) and 2 haze2.0 nearest to shade cloth wall. all 4 have started flowering on Friday. the haze2.0 should be done on 6/5/18 4. The seedlings are as follows..... Blue Dream, 24k, GSC, Purple Crack and a Kush of some kind from a friend. The seeds all come from what I've been smoking the last cpl weeks... 5. This is the random bag seed but all the pistils are bright pink, can't remember what the smoke was like.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smeegol Posted March 19, 2018 Author Share Posted March 19, 2018 The pink Bagseed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smeegol Posted March 19, 2018 Author Share Posted March 19, 2018 All they getting to drink is borehole water and rain so far.... The new seedlings are going to be a lucky packet sex wise, but want to try for pollen if there are males. And any seeds that come out of it are a bonus for the next round I hope... Have a lekka afternoon everyone ... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Justin Hemp Posted March 19, 2018 Share Posted March 19, 2018 That pink almost looks as nice as Sunvalley does !! Clone that baby hehehe. Not to criticize but the soil looks very clay like, you think they'll be alright especially root development. Do you have something in there to aerate the soil, even bark chips could work but not sure on the ph effect thereof Sent from my ALE-L02 using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smeegol Posted March 20, 2018 Author Share Posted March 20, 2018 Hey JH420, is it possible to clone the pink that late...?? That soil mix has a large particle size river sand ( perlite size ) more or less. It was raining non stop over the weekend, checked soil yesterday and she is moist but aerated still. But it's not the soil mix I wanted, this was put together for the short term test before spring arrives. It's more of test run to see how that red soil performs as it comes from a very fertile vlei which has a stream running through it here on the farm. The mom OG is in that soil and I like the look of her, minus the chicken/cow manure which I added to the planters. Have been doing a lot of homework regarding LOS as its something that has really piqued my interest, been following quite a few LOS growers on 420mag SV being 1 of them and I'm blown away by what they achieve. But it was here that I first got introduced to it but went indoor with a blob of soil...... Anyway can't wait to try OG K as I've had Kush variations but not the main lady herself. Have a lekka day one and all.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Justin Hemp Posted March 22, 2018 Share Posted March 22, 2018 Maybe a bit far into flower for super cropping but you could try on a low laying branch that's bud hopefully hasn't developed that much.

Smeegol Posted March 23, 2018 Author Share Posted March 23, 2018 Morning ouens..... They are all single stemmed flowers unfortunately, there's 1-2 straggly branches that won't cut it, so can only hope for some seeds hopefully.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Hein Posted March 27, 2018 Share Posted March 27, 2018 Loving that greenhouse setup of yours my man. I want to go as far as to say I'm jealous. Looking forward to seeing what's gonna happen with those ladies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
