And now my ph is back up to 6.4. That’s up from 6.08 this morning. And she spiked all the way to 7.15 the other day. And now she seems to be pukin. My ppm’s are 1880 or so now. So she seems to have puked a little over 100 ppm’s of shitt today. I’m not sure what to do. I could add some h202 and see if it helps. Mabe the roots got a lil shocked they looked a lil better yesterday. Or I could turn down the ppm’s. I don’t see anything serious happening. Just the strange lookin whits stuff on the roots. Not slime. More like powder on them. Dunking got it mostly off. Mabey the raise in the ppm’s is the stuff that rinsed off the roots from dunking the plant. In hind sight, mabe I shoulda done that in a different bucket.

Yea that shit that shakes off the roots raise the ph. I just shook some off and had to readjust my ph. It went to 6.34. After readjusting my ph to6.14 I’m now at1965ppm’s. I think I dropped round 4 ml ph up. I did use tap water too so Mabey that’s something to do with the white gritty stuff on the roots. Hilarious! So I’m not sure if I should take my ppm’s down, or let it ride and see if she’ll get used to it.

2031. It seems she still puked a bit last night. Bout 70 ppm’s. I think I might wanna try and let her assimilate to it. I’m doin what the feed chart calls for. It rose allot but I’m gonna see if she just had a hard reaction in her roots from the rise in ppm’s, and the use of tap water. I wanna try to let it work. If it don’t I guess i could tone down the ppm’s. After all, she don’t look too bad. I thought she’d green up by now but mabe she will once she assimilates.

Damn. I feel so weird. Lately I been failing miserably. I’m not too sure why. I think I just been havin a bad run lately. I been trying to get back on my feet for better than 2 years now. First I couldn’t get good cuts. Then bad seeds. Then more bad cuts. Either that, or I suck. Tho I haven’t had a problem in almost 20 years of growing mabey im just getting old and feeble now. I don’t know.

That’s why im goin into this confused. But here we go. Il be doin Blumburns Fat Basttard fem. In DWC in 3” net pots in 5 gal buckets. With 3 double 4” flouros for seed clone and veg, and 4 buckets around 1k hps in the flower room to start.( the plan is to get 2 more lites and an auxiliary panel for the room after first or 2nd harvest). Anyhow. Here she is now. Bean popped out the cube the 12th. I’m waiting to see some yellow on the cotyledon before I give her ff326.

We only have small setbacks, for major comebacks. We only fail at something if we give up trying our hands at it. Did I miss something? Did you give up growmie? If not reword your "failing miserably" sh!t.

Thanks Don. I appreciate that. Naa. I’m on it. I just texted back the rep that gave me this feed chart. It’s been 10 years now since I grew and I think things have changed a bit. Like I asked if the 326 is weaker. I usta use it at 15 ml per gallon and if I remember right it came in at around 1200 ppm’s. Now I’m finding that the same amount comes in at 1060 ppm’s. Someone elce here also mentioned that the 326 is weaker now too. So I’m hoping the FF rep can tell me where my ppm’s should be to use my 326 as a stand alone. It use to work so SO good. I didn’t need anything elce in veg.

From 2031 down to 1841 overnight. So she ate up almost 200 ppm’s last night. I’m gonna talk to the FF rep in a minit. I e mailed yesterday but I didn’t agree with what she said. I just want to clarify why the info I received told me 15 ml in a gallon should add up to 500 ppm’s but it’s clearly not. But Fukk it all anyway. I’m switching to maxi grow. The MB works so good, I don’t know why I didn’t try it yet. It’s way cheaper than FF326. It’s just that the 326 has worked so well in the past.
But fukk it. I think the next nutes I get will be Maxi Grow.

Not much help there. The guy said I should wind up with a little under 500 ppm’s on the scale when I mix 15 ml of 326 into a gallon of water. I told him that I get 1060 when I do it. He couldn’t explain this so we moved on. But he said that I can use the 326 at 15 ml per gallon as a stand alone. He really didn’t have much answers.
Seeing as how she ate last night, I think I’m gonna monitor her and hope she bumps through it. I’m not sure of the volume but I think I must have put 25 ml per gallon to reach the 1500 I was looking for. The most I ever used was 15 per gallon. But someone mentioned that the 326 is weaker now so it just made sense. It still kinda does but she sure bumped hard. This is the first day since friday(when I did the nute change)that she’s eating. So in light of her eating last night, Il give her a coupled more days to see if she’ll get over the bump, or Il have to smooth the bump out for her.

1803. Now she’s at 1803 ppm’s. So she eating. Bout 40 ppm’s from yesterday. Nute level goin down in the bucket too. And she really didn’t go anywhere verticaly tho. Im gonna change her bucket Friday so im trying to let it ride till then. Mabey she’ll kick in with the vertical growth. She was doing fine till I changed her nutes out so im gonna just do what I usta do. Il give her 326@ 1200 ppm’s. I think that’ll straiten her out. I wish I woulda do that in the first place.

She sure did bump hard. But she’s liking it now. I got tomorrow off so Mabe Il fim her. I like watching what happens after fimming. I’m gonna need at least 4 cuts to start so Il take 6 off her once the fim effects her enough.

She’s actually looking pretty good. My grandson came over so I wound up not freshening up my nutes. She just got to the point now that the food is tolerable to her. She’s actually liking it. But my ppm’s are through the roof. Really should change her nutes out. But I wanna fim over my weekend too. I guess I kinda need to do both. Mabey Il mix some fresh nutes early in the day @ a reasonable 1200 ppm’s, and then later get a nice fim cut on her. I just took a look and I’m pretty sure her fresh axle top will be in prime availability. I love fimmin! What an incredible thing! The way they freak the Fukk out over this shitt! I can’t wait to see what the FB does with a fim!

So here she is with her new cut. Let’s see how she responds to this. I think I got her pretty good! My eyes and hands ain’t what they usta be but I think I got her just rite. I got a before pic, a during pic, and an after pic. Il keep up with the photos to show how she grows out. Other than the normal fim cut, I use this cut to guide vegetative plants while they grow. And I even use it in flower to direct which way she flowers. If anyone’s interested, Il show yas when we get there. For me, what a plant does after fimming is mindblowing!

Her this morning. She’s growin out nice! I don’t think I wanna take any more off her. She looks pretty good. Sometimes Il cut on a fim for 3!days if I don’t think I got close enough. But this cut is so nice I just wanna see what it does just the way she is. I only trimmed her up once since the original cut.

think that's a good approach, letting the plant grow and see what is happening in a week. you can still put your scissors to work another time :biggrin:

She’s lookin nice.
Aww Damn! I can’t wait till everything’s a routine. I really do hope she is the one. She seems like a very healthy plant! She’s big and meaty! So far, I’m digging what Blimburn did here. If she flowers out as good as she’s veggin, I’m gonna be real happy with her. And I’m excited to taste this herb! She’s sposed to be both Fruity and skunky! Damn I can’t wait to taste her. I just bet she’s delicious!! And Blimburn is placing her thc content at between 25 and 36%! Now that’s just insane! I hope it’s all true!
Well she seemed to like her nute change last night. She’s at 1000ppms. So now we’l see how long after her fim, I’m able to get 6
Nice cuts off her. This is 6 days now since I fimed her. She’s responding nice. I bet I’m able to get at least 6 nice cuts within 2 weeks from today.
