I am always on the hunt for good strains for IBS and gut issues. That is why i am going after Dream crosses currently to see which has the best flavor and effect i like. Most of the time i just love growing and smoking weed so its for me. IBS gave me a script and i am pretty used to it. The biggest thing are the REALLY stupid hours. 4 hours max sleep at one time.
During the testing they found pylori bacteria...and now it makes sense
. That is the bacteria that causes ulcers and is carcingoenic. So they are getting murdered with antibiotics.
And the doc said i need to live a more stress free life. I find this place pretty stress free. I like it a lot. And I still love growing and smoking weed and shit there are a ton of people doing that at stupid hours too.
Back to the garden. Topped up my gear supplies yesterday because my bluelab PH meter finally said screw you OG you should have actually cleaned me...after 4 years lol. So now i have a hanna which was 65 bucks (blue lab i had was 150 CDN). It just finished the 1 hour soak in solution because i am keeping this one. The numbers are HUGE and i can see them without readers on....huge bonus !!! YoungG didnt care but i sure do.
I am using soil and coco. I used coco almost exclusively for a long time so its second nature to measure things. I must have a TDS and PH meter and if you grow weed StOnEd like me...did i put calmag in there? Is that the 2nd shot of bloom ?
TDS meter to the rescue.
As you screw around with nutes you realize the importance of the PH meter. Jacks 10 30 20 (bloom booster) will drop your TDS a lot. In a 5 gallon RO water bottle it will go to 4.5 and even fancy chelation wont let that work for long.
But not everyone has so many nutes. I went crazy on sales and got fat sacks of Jacks and then MasterBlend to get the higher K values. About 15 pounds of MC V2 with bloom booster, a quart of GH trio and close to a gallon of AN trio and maybe 1 quart of DG Foliage pro.
so when i hobby it is pretty much insanity....with PURPOSE ! I always prefered more since i was a wee G. that is not me in Mario...
No more nutes for me. I can truck along maybe 2 years with present inventory.
This tent was put on 11 13 schedule NOW. Starting Sept 13 (Nov 14 is 63 days of bloom), I am going to find a 3 prong timer and set up the autofeeds (3 times during lights on for 1 minute each cycle).
6 Rock Island Rockets (County Line Genetics) and 2 Greenpoint (HB) testers (GG4 X dosido). Sept 13 flip date (first official day).
3 weeks of veg to get to this point. I will flower them all out in this tent and cull males when they show.
The girls in veg will have to wait for some bloom space so they should be vegging a few more weeks. This morning all rooters were put in starter pots.
HAOG, Starfighter and SinCityJuice are on the right side of the ground and gaining traction.
Fired a few more into bloom to give them room to fill out the bigger pots...or i have WAY too many things in VEG and had to do something...i had a spot to walk in bloom so that was fixed !
Find room for the planter and they will grow!
Bloom Room Temp 80F RH 50% Massvie airflow has resulted in gnats be damned to hell. Watering practices repaired.
In about 4 weeks its going to be bud shots for DAZE...
I had SeaWench #2 this morning. Rolled a bit fat doob. Very very nice effect and the flavor is so very different from #1... this one leaned oranges and a funk that i figured out...its like the smell of appleton estates 151 proof rum. That overproof weird that is different from rum.
How fitting is that! Well done Heathen....well done.
