Going on day 9 of my Stinkbomb seeds. Leafs are getting big. Look discolored. Feed was 250 (.5 EC) but dropped to 200. Upped the nutes to about 350. Which is higher than I wanted to go but i wanna see how it reacts before I lower it.

Some users say they do 1.2EC from the get go.

Sounds like a lot. Maybe ill try it on some bagseed. Not risking ruining the seeds i bought.

Gonna move them to their own buckets once they get a little taller.

The T.H. Seeds Darkstar is doing great..three pointer leaves are getting bigger. About 5 inches tall. Going to put it in its own bucket tonight if I have time.

Git er done,
I got major work real soon. I was planning on it 2-3 weeks ago but this one stubborn bitch pulled one on me and is going for 11 weeks. I'm done with that strain . It used to impress me a lot but anymore it's just big yield and average bud.
I bushloaded a plant of that strain I thought I was gonna keep around as a mother but it's wasted space/energy if the strain doesn't interest me anymore.

Yeah high yield strains are nice if you are selling your product, but quality strains is where its at.

All these Archive seeds I got probably wont be big yielders. From the looks of the leaves I have 2 females out of 4 seeds. Not a terrible rate, not good either.

Three pointers are coming up. Leaves still look a bit wrinkled and discolored, could be because they are growing so fast.

The Darkstar I have going has fan leaves the size of my palms but is only about 5 inches tall lol. Moving them to the buckets tomorrow, im just fucking beat. Been running around all day with about 3 hours sleep.

Cleaned out the buckets for the plants I cut down last week lol. Talk about awful smell. 2 out of the 3 still smell after a bleach dosing and scrubbing with dawn and hot water. You think i'd learn my lesson but no looks like I have 2 new buckets relegated to my outdoor vegetables that I may or may not have time to get around to this summer.

Last night I had my relief valve go on my boiler. Spraying fucking water everywhere. Nice surprise to walk in on, glad I checked on my plants when I got home or I wouldn't of noticed till this morning. Of course that was at 1AM and no stores were open to buy another. I was forced to shut my boiler off and the supply line going into the boiler and at the main for good measure. Fixed it today and bought another to keep as a spare, only $25 so whatever.

I was fearing leaks from the gaskets on the circ. pumps due to being hot all the time and expanded to cold and contracted, so I kicked the boiler back on and noticed my air vent leaking on the zone for upstairs. FML. This leak is like a drop in the bucket, literally, in comparison to the relief valve. Everything else seems good though, no leaks. System needs a good bleed, but I cannot get a proper bleed without having riser vents on my baseboards. Thats another nightmare I gotta deal with. I think my boss might do it though for freesies. Hes going to borrow the pro-press tool from work and bang it out quick. Love my boss.

Gonna get on a stardawg x yeti 303 tester that I've already tested and like very very much.
I've also got more testers to do. I certainly hope 303 still intends to start back up.

They used to sell online but then wanted to go legit after all the legal things happened out this way.
They were intending on keeping it in state only. I text the owner every now and then to tell him what I think about the testers he gave me. Last time I talked he still planned on making a comeback but I dunno. I hope so because I'll sure support them.

Something fucked up is happening to the Darkstar. One of its first three pointers is turning crispy and looking discolored.

I moved all plants to buckets Sundsy night. Ph them to 5.8. Stinkbbombs I put at 350 ppm and Darkstar at 400ppm.

Monday night ph was 6.2 on all buckets. Brought down to 5.8 and everything looked fine. Checked again on Wednesday night and pH was 6.0 so dropped to 5.8 but i noticed this leaf looking all haggard.

What gives? Perhaps too much feed? Its putting off the most roots out of the rest.

This the shit I was talking about on my Darkstar.



And then something doesn't seem right with these two Stinkbombs. The one on the left was looking the best prior to transfer. And the runt is doing the best. So maybe its a feed thing? Since I gave the runt 300PPM and the rest 350PPM, but at the end of the day is that 50PPM going to affect? But really my tap is 60ppm so this is only really 290ppm of food.

pH probe is shitting the bed on me. Got some weird readings. Was like 4.7, jumped back up to 5.8, up to 6.1. Only when moved. It also said "Or" when switching to pH readout.

I looked at the wire coming into the probe and i'm seeing copper strands sticking out and the insulation looks broken. Gee, great.

Thankfully im like a week before the 6 month guarantee, which they seem to honor. Going to buy a backup, just in case.

Yeah...been without a stable pH reading for a week.

Turns out my probe was a week past warranty but they still honored it.

Better than 70 local. Hydro stores round my way dont offer up great deals. I asked about some deals to match online prices and dude laughed and said that it was like competing with wal-mart.

Not going there anymore. Theres a place always on the radio advertising nice prices but its a few towns over.

Planning on dropping a grand on co2 and two new 600 setups. Still waiting for my busy uncle to wire up the subpanel.
