Thanks bibi and explo:huggg:

Well, the weather decided to help the rocky drying buds a bit. While the maza and the killer was drying with a weather rh of low 20's and the room at 30/40's with fans, the rocky have been dryong out in rh of 40's in the first 2 days, yesterday it raised to 50's and today since its raining they are like this without fans, only extrating air, pretty good by the rules

They feel good to touch and im not seeing the trichs shriveling or yellowing buds like the other ones

Talking about the other ones, even tho the hygro may be misleading widely, i feel them good and just a bit the more airy buds a bit on the overdried side (from what i see you guys describing it), the Killer smells sweeter as the time passes, smells reminding me of the skunk i "mainlined" under SILS before, that over ripen orangey smell its gaining a bit of power i think but it seems faint for now. The maza to me is very incensey, but i think that is from the overdriness side of things, dunno, just a faint sweet smell under it, i love smoking both of them nevertheless, i smoked street bud better than them, no lie, i mean i live right next to countrys with good background for quality even tho i cant get them, whatever, its my effort im smocking on, fuck the rest.

I've got nothing to scream about, but I do have something to say. lol


Maybe keep in mind some spare parts or backup supplies.

Murphys law says that everything that can go wrong will, so think about what really matters if you have some sort of failure.


Doing it right can help a lot, but shit always happens.

Things like your irrigation nozzles can plug up.
But if you check your grow daily, you should be fine.

I remember a guy that had his exhaust fan fail in the middle of the night and his plant was dead by morning.
(he was using HPS though.)

If a timer fails your plant may herm, even if it's just a few minutes off.



I turned my timer from "Timer" to "On" and then back to timer to take some pictures, but the lights stayed on.


My lights were on all the time for more than two days before I noticed that they were on when they were supposed to be off.

I don't switch my timer to "O" anymore.
I just leave it on "T".

I had to unplug it and smack it around a bit to get it to smarten up. Lol


It didn't really matter though because I only grow Autoflowers, but that could have really screwed up a photoperiod.

Do whatever makes you happy. There is risks any way you go, you just have to do your best, and be happy about it. :joint:

I just want to be better each time i grow and spend the money wisely, nothing more nothing less but in the end its exactly how you put it

Peace :tiphat:

Dots has a point.
You should sleep in your tent to keep an eye on everything.
At least for the first few days after any sort of change.
lol

Ofc, afterall there will be a learning curve on it, and you can bet that i almost will sleep there :D

Peace:tiphat:

I sacked the Rocky, Ikea 6l bag, 85gr, lets say 80 by the ammount of leafs :shucks:
The maza, killer and this one combined get 226gr, 0.7gr/w, and because of this, the stock market is in turbulence, all of the wallstreet seems geting crazy due to the stocks of the "We Newbin" are skyrocketing, even the wolf of walstreet got there to sell pens!!! Im gonna be rich :D
Btw, i dont see any mold around. Even found a few dead leafs inside the buds and they were completely fine. Alot of tiny leafs tho, and strongly attached too,between that and being badly grown, is a pain in the ass to trim, wet or dry, hand or scissors, the only benefit might be some hashy fingery balls

Nice sackoweed!

It may be funny to you guys, but even if they are lows, bad grown and low harvest (im low riding :D) i never had that much weed, its a beautifull thing to see, i get you guys when you harvest way more than i did.

Btw going to buy the ferts today (glad i dont live in germany because its double from what im going to pay), wish me luck pips :D

Peace :tiphat:

Rocky on the left, maza in the middle, killer on the right.
The first smells and taste too green still, the maza smells and taste like sweet onions mixed with something else, i love it. The killer is very sweet, very tasty, not very specific, that mandarine smell in the background is so good.

Besides that my transition to coco is delayed by deliveries mostly, , thinking on growing again with the kalong nutrients if it takes too long for things to come.
Meanwhile i got my ec pen and ph too, my water right from the tap is around 300 ec.
Also i bought a boveda 62% pack to see how much diferent the probe of the controller is different, 2.5 points higher than it should, not that bad and at least i can compensate even if its not the best test for it, its better than not knowing.

Btw if anyone knows any european online store that sell salts and ships to other countries, share them please.

Peace :tiphat:

So for anyone that might be interested..
The Yara salts have arrived :D, 80€ the 3 of them

Orange, this one is very powdery, mask, goggles and gloves are mandatory, orange ting to it.

While the water pump is still coming (dunno when it arrives), the irrigation kit with the dripers arrived. Even if from Ali express, everything seems sturdy, connects really well, and with not defects. Btw i will use the orange misters to water the pots, for 18€ i guess is not that bad for what it is? Even more when it was the only kit with the plastic misters in european warehouses allowing it to arrive in 2 weeks and not 1 month or 2

20220421_235856.jpg
i was suprised how tight and strong those t's hold the dripers, never in a million years the pump will have force to detach them, i think
20220421_235745.jpg

When the pump arrives, i will get the flat 50l reservoir that will be under the girls, or 2 25l ones in the middle of them, and layout the hose and what not, things are moving, slow, but moving :D
In the meantime i dialed the rest of the hygrometers that i have with the boveda and all of them were 5 points down or more, way worse the controller one, again even if not 100% accurate, and only dialed at this rh, its better than before.

Now i will play a bit with the salts and the recipe, the pens and hydrobuddy to get a feel of things, see with my own eyes, smells and what not, because reading the theory is nice but there is nothing like doing things in front of us.

Again if anyone wants to add anything or ideas, please do it, like a good fulvic acid product in europe that will not cost a kidney?
Peace :tiphat:

Again, overall seems cheap for what it is, only the plumber tape i find a bit too much chinesium, eveb cheaper if in the end everything runs good and smooth, at least i hope so.

Btw, anyone know, if using vulcanic dust or gypsum, or even both, mixed in coco, would bring anything good to the grow?
I ask because i will go only coco, i will not inoculate with anything, probably i will only use the salts, and in DTW i wonder if they would do anything good or bad besides getting drained out with time. I know that rock dust needs microbes to do any good, i guess with at least the vulcanic dust is the same?

Keep an eye on those nozzles. You're pushing lots of salts through them.

It looks like you've got 2 tons of salts.

Don't go overkill.
Do things gently and gradually.

Ouch those taps look nasty as fuck
Thanks buds, well the only thing my inexperience ass can see geting cloged or destroyed by corrosion is that white silicon thing under the orange cap of the mister, either way i will be atenctive in everything and cloggins too.
Im wondering if in the future should get something like drip clean or something similar.

I hope you succeed with your salts. I'm growing with salts myself and love it. Good luck
