ok those seeds went back in the box....WHATS IN THE BOX??????
Well Brad we switched over to some cool ass gear instead. I will come back to the Worlds Strongest Seeds but first lets level up some other gear so we can compare.
Going in the drink. All regs this round. Time to keep up the sexing practice so far i only got one wrong out of the last dozen. And of course its the one i gave to someone. They pulled it yesterday...they texted it looks like bananas all over it...PULL IT...BURN IT garbage it get rid of it.
lol.
Strains will be
Skunky VA (Schwaggy)
Sin City Juice (3Thirteen)
Starfighter F6 (Heathen Inc)
Then as soon as room permits i have to hit up some of esos oranges. Back to OBSM3 and 1. Who knew the pure orange juice phenos were harder to come by...orange cleaners, orange baby aspirin, orange armpits and feet abound. But that pure Florida OJ taste...I got lucky the first time i popped an orange bean, Esos Orangeberry Smoothie went full ORANGE!!! no funk and was delicious for 2 out of 3. The third was not as orange.
I have to try and revisit that...stuff has to ripen faster...if i turn the power to 1.21 gigawatts would they finish yesterday ?
Those seeds are soaking in 3.....2......1

The piped system is easy. The heads are above the line so it drains back to the line.
The one in the bucket...i have to research because there must be an air bleed valve on it someplace. Very astute my friend the way i have it now you turn it off and it will suck in the entire res. Good thing the tray is 14 gallons and the res is 13.
I just water it and turn it off and pull the pump out of the water. But im working on it (the problem is of course its working currently LOL)
I will advise.
When i iron out the bugs of how i put it together i will make a floraflex post explaining how it works and the adapability and various items that can make it work.
drippers...stakes with drippers...clips
square saucers for rockwool in 4 6 or 8 inch cubes or use them in square pots or their fancy pots with coco (1 and 2 g roughly)
Round matrix things you can use in various pot sizes. i have them for 3g and 5g pots.
Its hard for my mind to wrap around a 1 or 2 gallon pot being sufficient but with coco it will be ponderous.
It can work for any situation. Currently its saving me about 30 minutes to 1 hour of watering each planter and then dumping out the trays.
Fantastico! (@JL2G it is still my favorite word of the week from that contest.)

I am sending you a solotion,,,

It is a pinhole. The pump will always produce a piddle when it is running. As long as the breach is above your hi-water line, it will suck air upon powerdown.
Second thought. Install a T'eed bleed. You can throttle working pressure, via valve position. Increase bypass volume = lower pressure
- you will stop blowing off connections
Eh?
Cause - we would never let that happen
You stay cool G
One of mine too, but it has to be said with flair. Lol

I put 2 boards on a frame this morning and put 10 feet of wire between the power supply and the light.
Now the power supply is out of the tent and i can put it anywhere. I am going to do that with another board or 2. Taking the power supply out allows for more power on the lights themselves. I love it.
Shop Vac is working great. Only using about 3 to 5 gallons a day and that is about 60% of the norm. Too much runoff and no control.
She never said that...EVER.

3/4 inch 1/8th angle makes a great board frame. I was even able to fit the eye screws.
Culled 2 makes this morning. I think there are more.
2 boards from growtents.ca with 2 20 inch pieces of angle I had left. 12 foot cord from board to power supply.
Boards are just warm to the touch at 175 watts QB120 in 3k with UV IR and 660 the pair were 300 but you need the frame. This can stay here forever now
Mexico in the house and a greenpoint purple dream I should not have up potted she’s in flower now. I have 2 other dream crosses in veg and want to start some blue dream x wifi that Heathen made.
Floraflex is really what I needed. It is saving me water and RH because I only run off a tiny bit. It might be half the water I used before. My dehudifier has not come on in a week.
after 3 years my blue lab needs calibration. My tap water is not 3.5 ever. I will order some solution and a spare pen.
I can’t believe how far the garden has come. I had to try everything to know what I like and where.
And it’s looking beauty. Wow it was a mess before.
I even defoliated this morning and trimmed 3. I need a nap the gardening day is over in 15 the lights go out.

I ended up switching that around and with with Scwaggys HAOG BX1 and 3Thirteens sin city juice with the starfighter.
I have not tasted ANY of them so i like when its like the Love Boat in my bloom room....exciting and new (no nuttery...same sex only).
Today I am smoking that SeaWench that Heathen made and i love it. Its a lemony fuel and not gas or diesel more like jet fuel or solvent.
Lemon Jet Fuel sounds about right.
This one is not going in Rosin but 2 more are ripe soon and 1 more is just starting out.
GG4 X GMT (KMOG testers) 4 of 6 are girls. Everything else is too soon to tell but we are on day 20 of 12-12 so Rock Island Rocket (County Line Genetics Project 86 hashplant) and some GodStompers are all at day 20.
Rock Island Rocket is taking off and it is a nasty smelling little plant. This one is going to reak the room up. I want to see if that filter will tap out anyway shes a beast (30 inch tall 6 inch filter).
For now...back to the doob that will snap me out of my mental fog from that nap.
Fire up the jets....its time for takeoff.

Rock Island rockets. And 2 testers. Rockets are the 6 to the back (and 2 in soil). 8 fit in 1 floraflex head so here they are.
Veg until they sex.
6 x 6 x 6 inch pots (just under 1 us gallon) with canna coco being fed 700 TDS (RO start) PH 5.8
They are about to take off now...

Floraflex, I made 2 reservoirs out of autopot tanks and totes i had. The floraflex heads are contained because those things can pop off or it might not be tight. If it leaks its going back in the res.
As @Jewels mentioned the problem is a constant siphon is created and until you break that it will drain your tank. The tray is 14 gallons and the res is 13.
The solution was a T in the middle. One of them has a T with a 1/4 inch pipe And the other has this pipe. Water will push through this so i had to reduce the flow. When the pump is turned off this creates the air that breaks the siphon and it stops.
The GREAT part of this is with the yellow flow controllers (2GPM) and the bypass it trickles into the pots. I can use a full 1 minute timer and start playing with 2 waterings a day.
I will run these with coco and the other with soil so i dont screw it up. Probably. I accidently watered half the veggers with peroxide this morning...so they are really flushed out now
Gnats be dam

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.

Bloom room is filling up. I have been vegging things a bit longer and then i ran out of room so they have to veg even longer but i like a big bud and i just cant lie.
Things sure are a lot healthier and greener when i use soil.
Purple Dream. this is a clone i kept for a mom but...i just want to run seeds a while and occasinally take a cut to keep up the practice...sooner or later they get big though.
Floraflex with coco (1 gallon pots). These are ready to flip. I might have to do something but if i can wait even 7 days it will help stagger trim jail later down the road....This is the Christmas Present edition so the timing couldnt be better for some fat juicy buds and healthy ass plants.
Cooler temps...time to add the super charger...HPS is on 1000 now the temps are steady at 80F and 50%RH and the dehuey is not kicking on. I love cooler temps for growing.
GP (HB) testers. Left is GG4 x dosido and right is Blue Dream X dosido.
J James testers (CountyLineGenetics)...Rock Island Rocket. I have another pair in bloom to sex them. then i will bloom them here. I forgot coco...it needs more calmag. Tomorrow i will swap out the reservoir for Jacks 10 30 20...bloom booster. Lets grow some fat buds.
These plants REAK. Powerfully odoriferous in veg...oh yeah this is going to be GOOD...

CHOOSE YOUR TITLE
First things first, I love your thread! The way that you go into detail is on point. I truly appreciate that! The details that you have shared about some of the cultivars that I am running from @thenotsoesoteric are amazing. I am happy to see that you are running HA OG Bx1 from @Schwaggy P. I should be starting mine in a week or two, so I definitely look forward to following along with how they do for you. Thank you for your time and effort! Positive vibes...
