Diary PCBuds mini-grow

[GanjaLion]

Dangg man, listen to explosiv the goal is to make to harvest with your plant haha. If the nutes arent dissolving they are probably not supposed to be mixed together and are forming large bonds and locking out in the mixture becoming to big for your roots to absorb and too big to dissolve in the water, those bonds arent going to break when boiled. I agree with explosiv you need a lifeguard with you haha

 

[exploziv]

Nutes should never be mixed toghether without adding water first. I mean its pretty obvious for most growers, but maybe .. someone needs some help learning that.

 

[skmatzwonk]

I think that those damn lady bugs shat all over my plant ,!!,??

​

​


I hope they don't poop on my flowers?


I may have to kill them,?!,??





lol

Is your fug around today?

 

[PCBuds]

Is your fug around today?

Yes.

Those fuggen bugs are still in the house.

I don't care.

But I'm not poisoning my plant or myself with Raid. Lol

My cat will get them.
She has fun chasing them.

WTF !! Is That A Bug !?!!?
lol

My nutes are fine...

All i need to do is wait 12-24 hours for the crystals to dissolve, but if I have to wait, I lose track of stuff and tend to double dose..

I'm pretty sure it's the calcium that takes time to dissolve.

I have the same problem with my RAW calmag... it takes forever to dissolve.

It's 100% soluble in water, but it's only about 1% fast. lol


I'd rather watch paint dry or maybe just watch my grass grow. lol

I mean its pretty obvious for most growers, but maybe .. someone needs some help learning that.

I'm not willing to learn nuthin that I don't think that I already know. Lol



I did grow this beast.

I wanna do that again lol

 

[piramidon]

Well, I did it again...
...It wasn't until after the explosion that I realized that I'm supposed to heat the water for only 77 seconds...

 

[exploziv]

The actual way of heating water in a microwave is ceramic bowl or mug, and low power for a minute or so.. or a succession of 10 seconds pulses on high power, with pauses in between. That avoids getting to the conditions where superheated water is happening. Yes, you can get that in an open mug as well, and it looks still till you disturb it, then starts to jump at you like its 200 degrees C..
But I guess 77 seconds is more fun!
Don't even start me on how "funny" 777 seconds is. You are lucky it didn't blew in the microwave, also. That could have been a nice boom to put it out of its misery if water vapor and drops reached the electronics.

Yeah, that's what I ended up using.

I liked the bottle because I could shake it which seemed to work faster than stirring.

But I guess 77 seconds is more fun!

77 seconds was just enough time to heat up the water.
It took 3 and 1/2 minutes to blow the lid off. lol

It worked out pretty good.
Half the water was in the microwave and it was nice and steamy, so it softened up all the baked on crap and the microwave ended up nice and clean. lol

 

[PCBuds]

She looks good...

 

[aliceklar]

Plants looking great. Glad you didnt boil yerself!!

 

[PCBuds]

Plants looking great. Glad you didnt boil yerself!!

Thanks.
I'll use the coffee mug to make hot water from now on. lol

 

[Frosty Nuggets]

Glad you didn't get burned, plant is looking great.

 

[PCBuds]

Glad you didn't get burned, plant is looking great.

Thanks.
My shirt and pants got soaked but it wasn't too bad.

I'm not too afraid of hot water or microwaves, but I pay more attention when I'm working with power tools, something dangerous or driving my car.

It's the mundane things where I mess up.
I just made a coffee but forgot to put the coffee in the coffee maker.
I ended up with a cup of hot water and had to start over. lol

 

[JoeBidensDiaper]

Cool little grow, mang!

 

[PCBuds]

Cool little grow, mang!

Thanks.

I'm hoping it won't be little for long.
I'm aiming for a 4 foot tall, 1 pound plant.

 

[PCBuds]

She's showing daily growth.

 

[PCBuds]

My humidification rag is working.

I have to wet the rag three times a day.

The RH is still low but it's better than 32%.
It's turned out to be a simple and easy thing to do, so I don't mind working it into my routine.

I still wonder how much difference it really makes, but I'm sure it can only help.
It's pretty much idiot proof, so I don't see any drawbacks, other than maybe mold growing, but I think 50% RH is too low for mold ?

 

[PCBuds]

I only left the side lights on for a few days then unplugged them.

I decided not to mess with the recipe that worked with that big plant I grew.

The side lights will go back on tomorrow at 1 amp total.

I checked the picture of that big plant when I turned on the side lights to see how it compares to my current plant.

It looks to be at the same stage as my current plant, so side lights on tomorrow.
