Me too, I pH, ppm, and use RO. I bought a gallon of Blackstrap Molasses on Amazon cheap...it'll last me forever...lol. Brand was golden barrel. I wasn't knocking Bud Candy either, just no sense duplicating.

And yeah it was before lights out. I took (it)outside as it was dark and i blended the ugly fkr with other plants around outside. Sun up by 5 i got up at 5:15 before a 12 hr work day looked at (it) and what ya know... bugs lol haha bitch! Came home and yeah lil nanners popping up around the nodes. Roots barely hit new soil. So ima rebag the new mix. The soil was dry and was easy to do.

I'd be curious what ppms he runs at different stages through his grow.

I topped the 10wk at 4 weeks. Lst. Had 6 shoots but clipped the 2 weak first growth amd left the 2 main colas from the topping and the other 2 bigger stems. I was mainlining and forgot to top all 4 again to get 8 colas and another branch structure. It took a spill at 7 weeks like slammed over on its side. And dragged a lil bit. My dog got excited around a female dog and almost killed it. So i lost a few weeks veg from the topping and the lst, clipping the other 2 stems and that spill. Waste of time. I got 1 in veg a seed from the harvest and germed 3 more of them tonight so ill take the strongest. The seeds are from the fem turned herm that pollenated the other 2 girls that i harvested. It was 5 weeks in and i got rid of it. Got like 50 seeds from the females. So they all should atleast be guranteed female seeds

Ever thought about liquid terpenes

Not sure what that is. I'm using Advanced Nutrients line right now. A lot of people talk shit about them...I mean yeah, their descriptions are hyped up and shit...but it does work and is designed for Cannabis. I look at what I use for nutes, and it's peanuts to feed em...if I was doing a big RDWC or hydro and making big batches every week, then yeah, I'd think harder about cost control...but it's nothing to feed soil/soilless.

I was thinking of doing a rdwc but the reliability of parts amd pumps not working or if my power goes out could be bad. I put together a lil veg area. I hate that metal cabinet i use and it takes up sooo much space. Thinking i might use the little veg area temporarly and make something out of this and change over when complete. Take all the drawers out and customize the inside. Itll be next to the flower box as well instead of seperate rooms. I can do the venting out the closet. I need the closet to store shyt or i wood grow in there

I dont get paid til next week so itll be a cpl week project thing. Will use passive intake and pc fan exhausts white flat paint New power supply and get the door all together looking at 40 bucks maybe. I raised floor with 2x4s and the scrap wood.

Yeah, even if intake is separate, that closet will heat up, then where does that hot air go? Back into the room. Depends on your light bro...gonna generate significant heat? What's the light?
