So if I had seedlings and I wanted to take a trip what system would be best to keep them watered (if any) and how much would it cost?

how long will you be gone and how big are the plants? when i upcan from 1 gal to 10 gal it takes at least a week before they need water.

This is one best left to the nerds! So if I could get a collective plethora of knowledge that would be great! When should I move the male out of my tent if I'm looking to breed?

You want your "in box" temps to be in the mid 70s i think ah? After that i dont worry too much. I think maybe sometimes mine feel a little warm? haha, hard to say. bongsmilie

I'm just gonna keep going with "not cold"

i got my heating may in the mail today. Is there anything special that I should do with it? Like wrap it in a towel or anything?

Well I've been avoiding taking pictures because my plant looks like poop. I transplanted I let it dry out I let it be wet I've tried most all that I can think of. My water going in is at about 6.8-7.0 the runoff was... wait for it... 4.6 WTF?!

I'm following this recipe:

sidewing said:
the super soil recipe was great, but i have ran this modified version a few cycles now and am much happier with the results. the herbs smell, flavor, crystal content, and stickiness are unbeatable. i will list the recipe, and then explain what i changed and my reasoning. i do a quarter batch from the original recipe.

2 large bags roots natural and organic soil
15 pounds Earth Worm Castings
420g fish bone meal (down to earth 3-16-0)
420g bat guano (happy frog 0-5-0)
420g blood meal (down to earth 12-0-0)
80g potassium sulfate (0-0-50)

200g ancient forest alaska humus (general organics)
200g xtreme mycorrhizal granules
200g azomite

100g sea kelp (algamin 1-0-2)
70g dolomite lime (30% cal 3% mg or 75/12)
50g alfalfa meal (down to earth 2.5-1-1)

20g humic acid powder (down to earth)
8g Epsom salt

i do 420 grams instead of 560 (1.25 pounds) because i felt the original mix was too strong, and it did leave some residual BEFORE curing. lowering down too 420g removed that fixing the problem.. the plants have a very very light beginning of a color fade on a day 63 chop.

the potassium sulfate is obviously to give the soil a (what i feel was needed) potassium boost. sulfer is also a flavor enhancer.

the alaska humus has a very large diversity of microbial life that it adds to the soil, and it also acts as a ph buffer keeping your ph around 7.

xtreme mycorrhizal granules i have used in the past and had great results, so i figure adding some into the soil mix is beneficial.

i use more azomite because in my opinion from past experiences azomite and mycorrhizal combo have drastically improved yields and plant vigor.

sea kelp is also for diversity of bacteria being added to the soil, everyone knows the benefit if seaweed/kelp in cannabis, plus it also is a small K boost.

alfalfa meal i added because of the growth hormone triacontanol basically as long as u arent giving too much of it (which can delay flowering) its just a natural steroid for the plant basically.

during flowering i use this schedule to feed the plant:
STRAIGHT TAP WATER (i have gone thru the trouble of filling gallon jugs thru the water filter at a very slow pace and the results are very very similiar.. so i dont take the time to use dechlorinated water anymore.. its my understanding anyway that the chlorine content in water is no where near enough to kill the bacteria in soil. it would have to be at the strength of pool water, which my water is not, im sure somewhere somebodys is though)

my plants are in 7gal pots, i give em 2 gallons of water as soon as the saucer below is dry. and when i do additives, i give it once a week, on the 2nd jug per plant.

here is my flower feed schedule:

5ml liquid karma (day 1-day 14)
10ml liquid karma (21-49)
2tbsp sucanat (day1-14)
3tbsp sucanat (21-42)
4tbsp sucanat (49+)
5ml hygrozyme (1-49)

i started just water only when i first started with super soil.. experimented with things here and there.. the things i found most beneficial were definitely liquid karma, and the sucanat.. hygrozyme is good, but if u need to go without something, keep the lk and sucanat and dump the hygrozyme.

i pull very well.. no less than 4oz a plant (4 plants under a 1k) on the low yielders (grandaddy) and easily double on a high yielder. the gdp turns purple no matter what the temperature is, because its just the right amount of nutrients to where it starts fading at the end of flower.

The green is what I've fed them a couple times... I haven't PHd my water with that stuff in it but yea... I will have to do that.

TOO MUCH FADE?! SHE IS AT 44 DAYS FLOWERING. I'm thinking I shouldn't even try anything but if anyone thinks otherwise I would gladly take the information.



Sorry for the picture. I was holding a hit, the light just turned off in a fully lit room, and the camera was actively shutting down from dieing.

At this point homey, i wouldnt add anything. it would just confuse the hell out of her. Your yield will be weaker, but the taste should be off the hook.
You'll just know next time, that girl needs quite a bit more from the get go. But no worries mango. Life too short to worry, especially when its going to taste that dank.

Yea I hope she does bulk up some. She's got a few brown hairs on each bud but its low count so she will take that whole 12 days to do so... I'm not too worried anywhow. Thanks for the input, brother! I can always count on you! Hey, the need meet up... Do we have to be ommp because I'm out of state and I was gonna be in that areaz

Yeah man, you gotta be OMMP to get into Portland Canna Connection. Sorry homey. You know, im pretty sure folks from out of state can still get an OMMP card. Just a thought, lol.

Does anyone use tap water to water their plants? If so, how long do you let them air out before you can use them? Does that time frame change if they are in 1 gallon jugs? Would there be any concerns that I should be aware of if my house is about 50 years old (as with the water pipes)?

The chlorine will evaporate in about 24hrs no matter what the volume. It's the chloramine that you need worry about. It doesn't evaporate like chlorine but not every city adds it so you'll have to find out.

I'll even let my tap run for a minute then fill my jugs or whatever then I let it sit for 1-2 days or whenever I get around to using it (cold water tap only obviously lol)

That's what I've done. I ran it for about 2 minutes before I started filling then I've left them open for a couple days now. I figure I'll just leave them open until I need them.
