It sets my asthma off Gizmo, some sort of reaction to it. It's not the only thing that does.
hmmm, windex, I've never cleaned the inside of the windows, the window cleaner cleans the outside.
Like I said, hot water and fairy liquid washes most stuff, I'm sure it'll be fine. Thanks anyway chaps.

That's what I figured. Soaps soap, no matter what colour it is or whether its in a box a bottle or a bar, it all comes down to the same thing.

I have used household desinfectants like Sagrotan etc... but prefer 99% Iso Alcohol to wipe down everything.
Iso Alcohol will kill everything on contact, has no added perfumes and evaporates fully very quickly.And I have lots around to make RSO from trim from time to time ;-)

Hey Chevy, hmmm, yeah I didn't think of that. Yeah, hmm, maybe boots will stock it. I've never had any of that stuff, or even seen it on a shelf, I'll have a look. Thanks

Time to update the little tent's adventure tale.
the larger plant is larger, but has been thinned out a lot so the smaller plant can get some light. The big one is just starting flowering, after a month, and the little plant is just finishing its seeds. Ho hum, glad I have the big tent for bud.
Pics :biggrin:

That's all for now, of course any questions or requests welcomed. :wave:

Got the white balance right today, still along way from actual buds though. Getting impatient now, been dry far too long.

Looking real good GMT, all the best for this run.
How are you storing your seeds once they're harvested? I keep mine in the fridge but have heard opinions that said better not to keep them too cold...
Best

Hey Chevy. Long term, freezer, short term, baggies. Avoid high temps, they're fine.

Alcohol seems best for cleaning resin off things, like the floor. Iso or ethanol. Ethanol is sold for cleaning, with a bit of something in there to stop it getting drank, and so avoiding the liquor taxes. It's found beside the oil based paints for cleaning brushes usually. Coloured blue or purple. Mentholated Spirits. I clean my scissors and pipes with it. Some people still drink the stuff, and the stuff added is chosen to be almost impossible to separate again, so when the surface is dry, it's gone.
They also sell ethanol in B&Q now, as ethanol burners were on sale there recently. A pointless item for wax melts I think, but it got low grade ethanol on the shelf, so I can't complain.

Tend to clean my floor with a vacuum cleaner tbh.

Seeds are traditionally stored in the fridge. They last a lot longer that way than just in the draw. A boveda might help as the RH in your packaging will increase as the air in there cools. I use a bit of rice, but sent some over to another member who thought them very dry. I personally question viability after about 5 years. The best seeds seem to be the fresh ones. Though people have cracked some really old ones.

What looked like a Ca issue before, is getting a bit out of hand. The red petioles and stripes in the larger recently formed leafs are a concern. Some lighter new growth follows a similar story of low Ca. Most charts don't associate Ca with upper leaf chevrons, but since LED changed the water movement I regularly see this and Ca seems the fix. At least one uni speaks of Ca as stripes not rash. I see stripes then rash, but that's usually in lower RH conditions. There isn't actually any charts that show this. Its close to Mg but the wrong end of the plant. That would suggest Fe but it's starting at the tips not base of the leaf. I tried Mg by the mountain, and Fe, then looked at the lesser likely things (I forget) but now I seem able to stop it with Ca. Lowering the light intensity and thus growth rate is another fix often touted. I'm at the point now where I'm slowly increasing light, seeing this, then addressing Ca and fixing it. However not just with extra Ca but means such as heat, air movement and RH. It is as if the plants with little air flow through them do better, with just the top leaves that loose moisture going bad. Often drooping a little as they loose moisture, closing their stomata, further reducing any chance of getting some Ca. A VPD issue that more Ca seems to help with, not K as one might expect.

It's getting quite advanced in your (flowering) plants now, whatever the problem is. A little late to be trying a little of thins n that to see what effects it. You may need to reduce the light a little. I couldn't see what it's set at right now though. That light can really light that space a lot. Enough to highlight even slight issues.

If I were there, I would be looking at the RH around the stripy leaves. The light level. The calcium availability. Though this is just my current and constantly evolving process after seeing this, and while I have really made strides, I don't yet have a perfect result to say I fixed it. Higher Ca and Lower N seem import at this point in bloom though. Compared to HID grows.

I need to get the humidity down further now. I'm reducing the leaf count naturally, by water only from this point. The plants will eat themselves and hopefully humidity will fall for the end. The hope was that the hesi boost would have enough calcium, I guess it's not
​​​​​they will get a final silicon shot tomorrow though. I'll get the latest pics up in the next couple of days.

Latest pics.

You'll see I took some early branches out from the plant on the left. That was to get more light to the central plant, and not because I couldn't take looking at it anymore with nothing to smoke.

I took two shots of the plant on the right with different white balances, to the eye it looks somewhere in between.

Very nice GMT,,,
looks great and some lovely colours,,
Thinking about adding a LED in the middle of two 600w sodium’s
​​​​​​ I believe adding 10ml of cal mag with every watering ( 10 litre can) in all mix will keep things good,,,
