Hi BeAn :tiphat:

Totally, some genetics are surprising, im really enjoying observing the differences between varieties and between sisters. In the past i only used cuttings, and thisi limits the variety you work with.

Also surreal, 3 of the 12 germinated seeds are twins / siamese. Killed one of the "twins" while trying to separate her, before discovering that they are not double seedlings, they are literally stuck at some point. Now i have 14 plants with 12 seeds ... I hope they all progress smoothly and i can take cuttings from 14.

I like the higher pH too:plant grow:

Im modifying parameters on each rotation. Using a pH higher than recommended, especially in flowering, was one of the first "discoveries" that "I" made. 10 years ago I used to think of myself as a better grower, but taking up the hobby is costing me more effort than I thought :laughing: The next round the plants will be mixed with cococoir + perlite, instead of 100% cococoir.

For a few months I used chlorine and h2o2 to maintain asepsis in my grows. Summer is coming and the temperatures rise. Now I need to add more quantity of h2o2 or chlorine, for the same disinfection. H2o2 damages roots above a certain concentration, and enough chlorine interferes with the assimilation of some of the other nutrients.
The plants have never been as healthy as the time when I used bennis, so I return to the live coconut.
I have lowered the humidity by 5%, now the flowering plants are at between 67% / 73% RH, it seems that now they drink a little more, for the next deposit I am going to lower the ec from 1.75 to 1.5.

This is the white powder in all the hazes.

Haze 1 And 2, from seed. I have clones from both, flowering since yesterday. Im keeping backup clones too. The white pill over the substrate is aspirin.

Some of the plants didnt like aspirin (destroyers and destroyer crosses), but the others are clearly more vigorous, so I will buy salicylic acid in aliblablabla, for a better dosage.

Today it's 2 weeks since the 12/12 flip, and I have lowered the Ec to 1.35. All plants are showing pistils. These two weeks have been watered with bloom A + B (npk 7-14-20). The next tank will be a mixture of A + B + pk (0-4-10), and I will increase the amount of pk / reducing AB over the next 8 weeks.

Yesterday the mycorrhizae arrived (25kg ... xD) and the whole house has already been inoculated (Glomus geosporum, G. fasciculatum, G. constrictum, G. tortuosum, G. Intraradices). Previously they were inoculated with (Azospirillum brasilense, Azotobacter spp, Rhizobium spp and Bacillus spp)
I doubt whether to buy more worms or not, I want them to do a worm compost tee EWC, but previous times it has been full of insects. The alternative is to buy mammuth or some other very expensive product for my pocket ... and try to multiply it. I am looking for a sponsor :biggrin:

Tonight I'll upload photos, anyway they still disappear ...

Thanks to the great MadMac, 2 new lines of original haze to work with. I dont have enough words to show my appreciation, kindness out of the ordinary.
Ive bought two packs of critical, nordle, shit, ortega and sharkshock. I'm usually more into sativas, but here's mike for everyone :biggrin:

Ive pampered these seeds, a lot. They are germinating in the kitchen counter to avoid the rat (I never thought I would say this) ... sterilized substrate, disinfected glasses. The only "but" is between 32 and 38 degrees Celsius, but they seem happy. Her sisters were also slow at first, and now they are beginning to show sex.
I managed to kill a large rat, and one of my cats brought me a baby rat (I didn't know whether to kill it, or shower it and buy it a dollhouse ...)

My kitty left me a puked up gift at the front door yesterday morning, a pile of black fur and flesh. I'm thinking black fur? Then I saw a little claw, and a mouse tail. He's puked his dinner another 2 times in the last couple days. He's not well.
