poison ivy factor!

My almost-water-only garden:

Front row are males.

Pots contain
- soil from a bag (gold label light)
- worm castings
- little bit of perlite
- bat shit (had it already, might as well use it)
- little bit of palm tree ash
- bacteria and fungi
- "buffertablets" http://www.sanniesshop.com/buffertablets.html

Cannalope Haze

I have a chocolope that's not normal, It grows kind of zig zagy and gets resinous calyxes with hairs in veg. It likes to weep and not grow upward.

Chocolope is known to have sensitive phenos. It's why I like their (DNA genetics) Chocolate Fondue better. More reliable and better yielder. Cannalope haze is the parent of chocolope and grandparent of chocolate fondue.

My cannalope haze is actually (cannalope haze x cannalope haze), I've grown the parents several times already.

Forgot to mention in my post above why it's almost-water-only: I occasionally give some seaweed extract (also as foliar spray) and crumble bits of those tablets as a sort of topdressing. I used them before and they didn't entirely dissolve so trying to spread them out better this time. This way I can also use less or skip a week. I also give this once a week: http://www.sanniesshop.com/bio-sannie-bacto.html And added a little molasses which I'll do a couple of times more. Also use "agri grow" which contains 20 homeopathic trace elements. All in all it's the complete opposite of how I've grown over the past couple of years.

If that all doesn't do the trick, I got B.A.C. Flower as back up (6-5-6) liquid concentrated but 100% organic. Lots of sugars and "stuff" ( http://www.sanniesshop.com/bloei-voeding-en.html )

I like sannies. I have a nice necklace put it that way.

Me too Not a huge fan of all his strains but it's overall reliable. Some of the stuff I mentioned is from his starter kit, seeds + organic nutes, includes tabs, bacto, fungi, organic mini jiffies and that B.A.C. bottle. I've grown his Sugar Punch according to that "Sannie's way" which is quite popular on his dutch forum. Don't really need much or any of the BAC flower so it's almost water only and great for beginners too. Apart from the tabs and seeds it's good for multiple runs so very affordable too. Add this one: https://www.rollitup.org/t/how-to-prevent-overwatering-blumat-tensio-meter.849516/ and it's pretty much foolproof.

Dr.Pecker said:

@ButchyBoy good work. Do you have mites or thrips?

Click to expand...

No thrips... I have delt with mites but not when I had that yellowing issue! I suffer from terrible memory issues and forget all about my garden for days!!! What has seemed like yesterday has been 7 days It is quit surprising when you go to lift 5 gallons of soil with a 25 inch plant and you hit the 55" high ceiling because it is soooo light!!!! The water just rolls off of the top of the soil and down the sides into the pan.

if you let your plants get too wet then air can be reduced and beneficial microbes can be out bread by other pests

the water your using for your grows where does it come from may I ask dude ?

I use water right out of the tap! I do have a rez that I store water in but the ph climbs into the mid 8.? ph range over night. Water comes out of the tap at 7.14ph.

use a surfactant for that dry soil. it makes water wetter and penetrate the soil way better then just plain water.

what the ppm on the tap water ?

You could try using some kind of organic buffer to drag the ph down maybe ph some up around ph6 and mix it half half with your tap water or something.

I always wondered about that ph up and down. Does anyone know if that stuff kills microlife?

Not sure on the PPM. If I remember correctly it is around 170. I have adjusted the ph and it just climbs again over night. Pretty weird shit!!

I would think it would but I have no idea... I stopped adjusting the ph and just water. Plant's seem to do just fine in that respect. I am growing some Holy Grail this time that seems to have an issue that I need to figure out. All of my other strains are on par!
