Also still using the COM Stonington Blend, Bio Bizz grow and bloom, and tapwater still at 7 ph. And I am still to lazy to adjust anything. Working way to many hours.

Kids are doing good. Flip was the 16th. New years eve will start my countdown. ETA for chop is March 1st. Big City lights are not showing anything yet. Found 1 Grape Ape female,1 Purple Lambo and 1 Bubblegum. 4 more are undecided. Chopped 4 males this morning. Clones doing good. Need to get the females from seed into 5 gal fabric pots

Nice!

Nice!

Looking good dude! Looking into getting a 5x5 to add to my set-up. Any recommendations?

 

[Sailormoses]

Thanx, sorry I can't recommend a tent . I use a cheap ass vivosun 5x5 with 1.3 million light leaks in it. It's set up in the wife's office so the whole room can go dark when it needs to.

Girls are good. Killed 9 males total. Up potted 1 of each female from seed into 5 gal bags. 1st girl to show frost is also going purple in the small new buds, a Big City Lights from Norstar.This was at day 13 of 12/12.

I see much like myself, you like to grow a selection of ladies. What s1 alien are you growing?

 

[Sailormoses]

The aliens were knock offs. 1 threw some nanners at the end and the purple alien had a seed when I went to smoke it. So into the cup it went.

 

[Sailormoses]

Variety is the spice of life. Different strains for different times of day.

 

[Sailormoses]

Girls are happy, Water ph went out of wack. tap water now in high 7ph range. Adjusted down and added cal-mag. Girls are responding well, getting their color back.

At first I thought WW would be White Widow but it's Western Winds x Banana? Very cool, as well. I always do a double-take when the Banana OG gets mentioned. Love that strain.

Heck of a stable. Dig the variety

 

[Sailormoses]

Thanx, the WW does = White Widow. Haven't run the Western Winds yet.I might do that this summer. Unfortunately the WWx Banana OG ended up a male. But I do have more seeds to pheno hunt with.

 

[Sailormoses]

Girls are ok. I still haven't solved my low n/ high h2o ph/ soil issues , but i'm still working on it

[Sailormoses]

Girls are good. About 6 more weeks for most of the strains. The femmed Pako ( purple alien knock offs )is going to go longer than the rest.

Whats your PH after adding nutes? Have you been using both BioGrow and Bloom together?

 

[Sailormoses]

I did use both once and the ph was 6.5. The city did a major road reconstruction and it made my tap go up to 7.8 when for 5 years it was a constant 7.0..My yields are going to be smaller than expected. Still not sure what else to do, have been reading as much as I can to find a way to fix everything but I'm still not sure what to do.....any suggestion would be greatly appreciated from everyone.I may have been chucking seeds since 1969 but I am far from being a pro at this.I try to learn something new every chance I get.

Have you ever tried brewing an earthworm casting tea? Works wonders for the plants. All of the beneficials will help keep your pH in check. Brewing a tea for every other watering has worked in my rooms.
