Glad your back . Any advice, from you, is better than none at all. Ive tried to do my garden like yours. Its smaller though, only 6 plants every 2 weeks. Of course I have'nt had your success either, but I've only been doing this a little less than a year. Hope the Fires didnt hurt you.
We're all fuct now

nice to see you around Al B.
your posts have been a tremendous help for many of us,
you've mentored me along the way of setting up my garden (still in progress), i believe you'd be very proud of your student
never got the chance to thank you for all you hard work, dedication and generosity

Won't SOMEBODY think of the tits?
...but if you think that was fucking tits, you ought to see this.
Really? How do you get the trays to flood when they're stuck to the ceiling like that?
Gravity sucks, you know. Thanks.Al B.
I just want to drop in and let you know that your philosophies on growing have shaped my entire op. Your steadfast dedication to simple and efficient methods that lead to infinitely reproducible results are a credit and an assett to all lazy stoners. Thank you. I raise a joint to you, sir.
Reproducibility is key. I bet you do. Oh well, you can still grow and that's the important part.
Happy to help. Looking mighty good so far.Here's a pic of my OP just for giggles. 400W in 5 sq ft.
No worries.
Nice pics, especially the macro shots of the resin trichomes. Great work, dood.
GG, glad you found my notes helpful.
Portable aircon units are not the most efficient things in the world, either with single or dual vent ducts. The dual duct sort is better than the single. If you can use a standard window-type unit or a portable split system (like this one),
you'll be much happier.
Gee, thanks. Damn the cats!
Do be careful about overwatering. It's a very common way that new growers kill plants.
Just visiting, actually. I'm going to turn into a pumpkin pretty soon, gotta get back on the path.
Fires were in Victoria. I'm about 1000km away from there, but thanks for the well-wishes anyway. I have been down to the fire areas to deliver some 2nd hand bicycles I repaired for the kids- and it's absolutely horrific. Looks like a nuclear warzone. There's never been anything like it, ever. That's why there were so many deaths. In most bushfire cases, one is able to stay and fight to save the house, but we've absolutely never seen fires this hot and that moved SO fast. Aluminum engine blocks in cars melted! There's lots of pix of aluminum puddles. That requires sustained temps in excess of 660C (1200F). We still can't get over it. It just hasn't happened before.
Thanks GT. Nice to see you too. We're all good down here, thanks for the note.
Happy to help, BB.
No worries.
Hope you get it up & going soon.

Thanks Al...Nice pics, especially the macro shots of the resin trichomes. Great work, dood.
I still fuck up a lot, but I am finally starting to produce more than I can smoke... maybe...
Cheers Al...

Thanks Al...well done, looks yummy.
I wish I could share it with you for real...
The kief is a little green, but I am working on a finer mesh...
Here is the story on that...

Hi Al,
Just want to say thanks so much for your invaluable threads of wisdom and I now have an entire library saved on my p.c. of your op advice. I was having such bad luck until I came across your help. Funny, the one thing that really sticks in my mind of all the pages of gold is "how to keep the rockwool watered properly"; dip the bottom edge in for just one second ---that's it! Sure helped me for starters.
I'm sure the kids love you for the bikes, also. Best to you in your travels and thanks, again.

I would say yes to this, simply because some strains have a faster nutrient uptake than others.
Al- While you ARE here, I do have a question. I've tried doing a 2 week rooting, no veg grow. Each time (3) my plants start to flower in 7 to 10 days. As soon as they start to flower they stop growing. I've gone to longer veg times, but why do your plants get taller, I dont like growing a plant for 8 weeks and winding up with a 12 "- 3 gr. plant .

Ya know what? You're dead-nuts right, that's the most important thing out of any of the threads. I don't even want to admit how long it took me to work out how to properly water RW cubes in cloning. I did a whole thread on cloning in rockwool cubes, pivoting on that very idea of 'damp, not WET, dammit!'
Yep, I took the bikes to a bushfire recovery station where folks were being housed until their reconstructions got underway. I managed to get about fifteen 20" BMX and a half dozen 26" mtn bikes put together in decent working order, thanks to the donation of some tyres & tubes and a few 2nd hand brake cables from a generous local bike shop. They were gladly (and QUICKLY) taken up.
Thanks for the thanks.
No, if your pH is shifting, you're probably dealing with some pathogen load in the system. I've seen pythium and fusarium infections cause the pH to swing up rather quickly. Treat your tanks with H2O2 50% grade @ 1ml/L every 3-4 days. Should fix things right up in a week or so.
Disagree. To this end, plants are plants. There's something else going on, as previously stated.
It all starts with the clones. If they have a well developed root system with nice, white roots (no tan or brown roots- that's a sign of fungal probs) when they go in to flower and all the conds are right in the flowering area, they should take right off. If they have root probs as clones, they'll be slow growers in the flowering room. They should continue to gain height until wk4-5, when they should be at their finishing height, somewhere between 30-40". Verify that the pH & air temps are correct in the flowering area if the roots on the clones are otherwise OK.
No. Heat extracted from the grow room is carried to the outdoor compressor unit through the refrigerant tubes. The refrigerant is never exposed to the air inside the room and thus can not pick up room scent.
Thanks for the greets.
My comment on molasses of course is made in the context of a hydroponics forum. Molasses may have some use in soil, but it should be kept well away from hydro ops.
Sigh* i just put some heavyweight molasses in my res i guess ill discontinue it in a few days i don't want to flush so soon since i just added fresh nutes. 1 week of molasses will not hurt right? its on day 3 and plants are thriving.

Dump your tank, mix up new sauce. Small expense compared to the problems you may have later down the track.
The point is that vascular plants have no need for sugars. If there was a Great Molasses Lake somewhere, there would be plants evolved to grow on its shores and suck up the sugar. However, there's no such ecosystem and no plants to fill the nonexistent sugar-eating plant niches.
The sugar you add will largely be ignored by your cannabis plants; it's the side effects of what the sugars will attract and encourage (insects and pathogenic microbes) that causes the probs.

I love your threads, i learn something new EVERY time i read them. I never skip a page when i go to them.
Al b how long have you been growing cannabis?
Also heres something you might wanna compete for fun maybe bro

Well, say I take a Purple Kush (eats loads) and a White Widow (Kinda likes it skimpy) in the same DWC bucket. The Purple Kush is going to drain nutrients much faster, thus causing the pH to rise towards more neutral/basic. Also, one plant could respirate faster than another, which would cause faster water loss, which in turn would concentrate the nutrient solution and bring the pH down to a more acidic level.

Thanks for that.
Cracked my first beans in 1979.
Whether that's true or not, if the two plants are sharing the same reservoir, you'd never measure a difference in the rez per se, particularly with airstones constantly agitating and mixing the rez soln about. If you could stick a pH probe into the rootmass, you may or may not see any difference between nute soln that had cycled through the two different rootmasses.
Regardless, two different strains in one res will not cause the pH to swing around. There's other probs that will cause that swinging pH reading, but different strains ain't one of them.
