Thanks all, and cheers Disco, yeah that's what I thought. D'oh! Do you think it's pointless to treat single plants and not others, in that case?

I worked out I need more P, as well as N, lol. One day I'll get it sorted out.

Nice work on those males bruz, the center one looks like the keeper from over here, my Dyna X PD's have just exploded in the cab, the males have literally grown up to 35 more nutsacks overnight and the big female was hitting the bulbs this morn (about 2 1/4 inches growth spurt), she is a keeper for sho. The smells are quite unique cause I can't exactly place what it resembles, sort of a rubber/plastic on the males when rubbed/brushed and the female has got me stumped so far. Put the Lil' runt PD into flower yesterday as I chopped 4 plants and the cab was looking a bit too sparse for my liking. Have some dutch indoor mix babies going hard in veg also @ the mo and the bubbler is full too, shit I think I need a bigger flower cab
Happy Gardening Bro.
Peace.

Great info regarding the DE too. Learning something new everyday gotta love this site.

Great pics again

I want some nutrients available during flush. The plants still use a lot of phosphate, iron and magnesium during the last two weeks. It's mainly nitrate we want to get rid of for better taste.
Lucky for us, Nitrate flushes away easy while nutrients like Phosphate binds to the soil and will remain even after intensive flushing. Thats why soil growers wont need to ad any nutrients during flush and why hydro growers can improve yield by using stuff like "GH ripen" that contains these elements.
Feeding mycorrhizae makes sense to me, because it stimulates the P uptake.

IMO an organic soil to rich on N can make weed taste just as bad as anything else..

 

[ScrubNinja]

Haha yeah boom, the smell is pretty incredible on my young'uns too. As soon as I crush any stems I have to smell my fingers. It's so putrid, but.... yummmm : A whale soaked in diesel and left on the beach to rot, and a skunk came along and was so disgusted he threw up, and then died. Exactly like that!

Bigups Pedro One thing I can't work out, my hydro chem nutes have a molybdenum warning, yet my organic ferts have it yoo, yet no warning. Anyone know why?

 

[maryjohn]

Pedro, check out the organics forum, a member figured out the mycorrhizae thing only works if you keep P availability way down. I mean WAY down. Also appears the whole idea may not be feasible with short indoor grows. Takes quite a bit of time for the fungus to take hold.

I run organic soil, and I don't store my N as nitrates. It's stored inside critters, and minute amounts of nitrate are given to the roots on demand by those critters. It can't be washed away, and it's not available to the plant for the most part.

Phosphorous compounds available to plants are all water soluble and thus can indeed be washed away (excluding the root ball, which can't be flushed). We have a huge problem with phosphorous runoff from farms. Causes algae blooms. Something like bonemeal contains mostly insoluble P, which can't be washed away but can only be released effectively by soil organisms.

Nothing about organic soil is different in terms of what can be taken up by the plant. The difference is that only the area right around your roots gets "fed", while the rest of your nutes are safely locked inside cells, where they can't be washed away and can't make your bud crap. Your plant has to ask for them to get them, and has to trade sugar sometimes, so it won't take more than necessary.

I don't want to confuse things, so I should make clear that I do not include in my description "organic" cultivation that is just like conventional, only with natural source products. You are still flooding the medium with soluble nutrients as your primary source of plant nutrition, and you won't experience the nutrition management benefits.

Sorry to interrupt but I got some great new pics - I lowered the plant so I could get them.

It's hella mad crazy nice

And

 

[maryjohn]

is that a baby gecko? sweet!

Scrub, those pictures are fantastic. Humbling. Fascinating. Exhilarating!

 

[ScrubNinja]

Thanks bro couldn't have done it without your help and, yeah it's a lil baby gecko. They're all over the place all of a sudden. Cute lil buggers :

I'm off to bed - 4:20am

 

[Thundurkel]

That's sick! I want baby gecko!

 

[maryjohn]

don't let them sell you insurance. it's terrible.

 

[VerdantGreen]

all looks very nice in here - great canopy o' buds you got going on at the moment

[b00m]

I miss those little buggers so much, always fighting and fucking on ya walls and chasing moths, when I used to live in the rainforest they were my nightly entertainment, better than TV.

 

[ScrubNinja]

Hey Verdant, welcome and thanks a lot.

Yeah the worst is when a big one poops on you from the roof But they're good apart from that. Maybe they eat fungus gnats!

 

[b00m]

Anything that flies or moves is fair game for the ol gecko.

 

[ScrubNinja]

Yeah I wasn't so serious but now you mention it, they would eat them. Cool. This is organic to the max

 

[idontsmoke]

Yeah I wasn't so serious but now you mention it, they would eat them. Cool. This is organic to the max

And when they poop = more organics, str8 from the source

 

[ScrubNinja]

Haha! Yes, Gecko Guano™!

 

[#1cheesebuds]

wow O wow. dammm thouse buds look super dooper sweet.

 

[Marijuanasaur]

Is that a sativa strain? is that why you are taking it so far without chopping?

just asking to see others opinions on strains and their respective flowering times.

I'm trying to find a strain worth investing my effort to obtain.

 

[ScrubNinja]

Hello peepz. M-saur, there's a fair bit of sativa to it. I think it's listed as 75%? But I believe this is a more indica pheno, and there's only like 3 phenos if I recall right. Most strains have a fairly wide window of harvest, and I know that every plant I've grown except one has been pulled too early if anything. So I'm letting 'er go because I really love couchlock. Don't be fooled by the earlier trich shots - I explained about them scraping on the headboard, which damages trichs. But having said that, yes, most people would have pulled by now. She's definitely ready enough although plenty of non ambers.

What exactly are you looking for in a strain? Shiva Skunk has some really fast phenos. At the moment, the perfect strain to me are the Trainwrecks. I haven't grown them but the young'uns are crosses of the Arcata TW cut. It has a very wide harvest window and plenty of other stuff going for it as well.

I was looking in the phone book today and happened to flip past the gardening section and noticed we have an organic gardening shop in this god forsaken town! Checked their website and near blew my load. I raced straight in, lol. I got a bag of real worm castings. They had 3 types, all fresh, but all fed on dairy cow manure. Is that cool?

I also got some herbal extract stuff...I looked it up but not too sure what it is, lol. :/ Man they had guano in big sacks, compost tea stuff, bokashi bran, all kinds of goodies. Yup, fun times.
