Hey guys, quick update while I'm on lunch.

Checked on my girls at break, and saw that the Swt13 reveg has really exploded (as have the BrainWarps, but we'll update them later).

Check it out!

Remember all those budsites in direct light I mentioned? You can really pick them out now.

Thanks dammakus and mrgrowmez! It's pretty freaking cool. Actually, it's rather beyond cool. Went down and checked the plants at the AM break, Lunch, and Afternoon break, and even did some tending over lunch - the Sweet 13 girl was a little hungry :biglaugh:

Well, as promised, here's an update of the veg room. As you can see, both clones have adjusted well to their new homes.

The DWC girl was drooping a bit the first day, but after I noticed the minor kink in the airline and straightened it out, she perked right back up. Tomorrow I'll lower the level in the bucket to the bottom of the net pot (as compared to the inch above that it is at now), and give her a shot of veg nutes. A coupla days after that, depending on how well she's reaching for the nutes, we'll drop the nute solution down to it's normal level.

The up and coming mom will get a dose of nutes on her next watering as well, but not full on like the DWC girl will get. We'll gradually step her up from the light schedule (5ml/gal) to the heavy schedule (8ml/g) over a few waterings. Not that I don't think she can't handle the heavy dose, but with this being reused soil with an unknown amount of residual nutes, I want to make sure I don't over feed her.

Still only 2 MM seedlings have sprouted. I dunno what happened :confused: Hopefully one will be female so we can clone the shit outta her :D

None of the WR have cracked yet, but that's not unexpected.

Here's the pic. Notice how well the Brain Warp seedlings have responded to the heavy schedule :joint:

Heya Gaius, you must have posted when I did :D

This is day 14 of 12/12 for these girls. Forgot to put it in :bashhead:

If I ever do that again, I'll let you guys in on a little secret - the file names of my pics tell you everything :wink: The file name for those pics, for instance, is 2-28swt13rvd141212.jpg and 2-28swt13rvd141212a.jpg

Translated, that tells you Febuary 28 (2-28) Sweet13 (swt13) rv (reveg) day 14 of 12/12 (d141212). The 'a' tells you its place in a series of pictures.

So, if you're ever cruising my gallery and wonder about a pic, now you got the key :D

Ok, so after a trip to the growroom this morning, I was a bit perturbed to see no signs of life from any more of the MMs or any of the GreenHouse seeds White Rhino.

I started with the basics.

Soil? No, the soil is fine, the Brain Warps love it, never burned or showed issues, except the low sprouting rates.

Light? Nope, lights good.

Temps? Right on the money.

Water? Nope, water is fine. Checked it at the old house, and it was a perfect 6.0.


Wait a second. Hold on.

Dammit, rookie mistake.

I figured that the water here was fine out of the tap, because it had been at the old house. We only moved about a mile away, so we're still on the same lines. Wait, there was that construction project just down the road, something about the mains... Dammit, I wasn't on the same lines anymore, I was on old old lines.

A test of the water out of my spigot in the growroom tested out my fears. Coming out at 7.8 ph.

Dammit dammit dammit.

So, I'm trying to make the best out of a bad situation. I immediately flushed all of the MM seedling cups and the WR peat pods with PHed water, using more than enough to 'volume out' the bad water. I'm hoping that instead of dying, the seeds did what they would do in nature, and just suspend themselves until conditions improved.

It's a weed, right? The seeds get passed through digestive tracts and land in all sorts of inhospitable places, and still sprout once things change.

Here's hoping...:badday:

On a more upbeat note, a check on the Sweet13 DWC clone showed roots coming out the side of the netpot. That was enough for me to graduate her. Nutes got changed out to full heavy veg nutes, with the level being dropped to just below the net cup. Things should really be kicking off with her over the next few days before she goes into the flower room.

And I start again after clicking a link on accident and losing a significant post:
Hey NT, :wave:
Sorry to hear about your pH problem, now you can fully understand why I have waited so long to start my project because of the back-ordered multi-param tester from fisher. After having the choice to get our money back, on my never received X-mas gift from the girly, I decided to have her order one that I decide on. The Tester:
:fsu:

Tell me what you think about it. Keep in mind that I'll be setting up a 6 bucket recirc system much like BigToke runs. I would have it in my rez of course. I hope things pan out for you man. I would really like to see what those MM's can do to full harvest. Hope they survive. Well good luck, I hope to be seeing you in my diary soon(not till grow is on will diary be set up) . :lurk:

Nite Tiger that sucks about the water. I will be sending good karma your way.

Glad to hear you got roots though :woohoo:

shit about the water ph man. hpe you can get them to grow anyway. it seems to me that the ph alone shouldn't be enough for the seedling not to pop the soil. but i suppose it could be. best of luck...:wave:

Yeah, I know, seems weird as shit, doesn't it? But it's the only link I can find. The Brain Warps had miserable sprout rates, but they were started from water from the kitchen. The MM had abyssmal sprout rates, and it was started from water from the utility spigot in the grow room. The WRs were started from the same water, and they haven't even twitched.

If it's not that, then I'm totally screwed, because I am at a loss as to what else it could be.

Here's hoping my instincts haven't led me astray...

Well NT,
It's been a couple of days since you pH'ed your tubs and such, are your babies doing any better yet?
