Lovin' the space you've got to play with, on the indoor setup.. Veg space looks great. :)

The slow growth, .. I'm a little surprised you'd be concerned with the pH, in the dirt setup, if only because it's from you that I learned that pH usually isn't a big concern in dirt, +/- .. (for more detailed/in-depth reasons that we'll skip for the sake of brevity) :)

Are you thinking that the pH of the water source here (vs from a tap, for example) might be cause for potential significantly out-of-whack pH?

I had some slow go'ers in veg (and ultimately one that got put into flower - doh. straight to the oil pile it goes when it's done) a while back. Ended up that I had some fungus gnat larvae..

Have you poked around in the dirt to see if there are any critters down'ere?

What's the total space you're workin' with on the indoor space there BB? Looks like I'm jealous, however many squares it is. :D

ive never worried about soil pH either
when i did, after testing it for about 3 months, i quit, because it wasnt changing

but i was an urban grower

this natural source stuff has a lot of the DG in it
my ONLY move is to test the pH

theres a few in there that seem to be ph tolerant like this little gushing beast

im guessing its the nourishing source because the ones that came from another farmer are now congruent with these here.
and they have been on straight water

I have been seeing sevaral large bottles of natural up around here, I thought it was to counter act the EJ nutes that seem to be acidic after long term use

it just bums me, makes me feel incompetent,:weakestli

Total space?? Unlimited really
This is just a room to start in 10x 12 or so
the green house #1 is 10 x 25
the land is 40 acres
the imagination is endless

human limits and family are the limiting factors really

oh and the fact I cant get plants to flourish right now.....

(geese, Im seeing icmag lost several of my posts here earlier. It was temperamental)

So back to what i already posted....

my poor OG

IMG_1029.jpg


OG w her tag on her. I didnt node any of these cuttings
meaning
it is straight stem im rooting. but I do scrape a light abrasion about 1/4 inch on the bottom before root gel dipping
roots tend to grow from wounds, hence the node thingy everyone does
