It's A Fuct World

Destillat · Dec 17, 2011

My ph ranges from 5.8 to 6.1, I check it every 2-3 days and that's how much it fluctuates. Usually I'll top off with 3 gallons of tap water and it takes 15ml of ph down to get back to 5.8. Again this is about a 40-42 gallon res.

do you still think squeezing rockwool damages plants, ?
do you still think 1 inch cubes are not for cuttings. ?
sorry to correct you AL B . in time your ego will learn to live with it lol

oh sorry ill type it so you can understand it, j00 455#47 lol

This is from the company's website regarding squeezing rockwool. http://grodan101.com/growing-tips/soakwater I have been reading this thread from the beginning and wanted to clarify this. Whenever in doubt just simply check with the manufacturer.

[h=1]Soak/Water[/h]
< Prev

Adjust the pH of water to 5.5. (NO LOWER). Use pH Down or lemon. Check with pH paper or meter.

If soaking A-Ok plugs, Macroplugs, or Miniblocks, mix in a little bit of plant food. Then just dip the starter in this pH 5.5 mix and its ready for the seed or cutting.

For all other Grodan products- SOAK, FLUSH, then PLANT!
Soak in plain water (pH 5.5) for 1/2 an hour (longer if soaking granulate).

Flush through with pH 5.5 water mixed with some plant food. Make sure the flushed water goes to waste. Then plant into your prepared Grodan block, slab, Grow-Cubes, or granulate!
DO NOT SQUEEZE the cubes or blocks. They are designed for the perfect air/water ratio. When you squeeze the product you may ruin the good structure.

....NLxBB @ start of flush, looks like I may yield on the lower-end this round, est 12 zips....

...I'll be running Kandy Kush X Skunk #1 next round.
...Merry X-mas everyone!

...you already know.

...how's it going bro Shwagbag :joint:

The NLxBB yielded on the lower end, 13 ounces...really dank though, smells of rot with a spice twist.... and I taste a black pepper taste in there too.
...I gave this KKxSK a trial run and it is near identical to the Kandy Kush but shorter and has a shorter flowering time...I'm excited!!! :weed:

...smells of fruit and cheese/rot.
...I just took clones from OG Kush, Querkle, White Berry, Power Skunk, (ch9 freebies->) Bubba Kush 33, White Shark 33, Jack 33....so, we'll find out which ones will be the new women of the op soon! ...the OG Kush, and Power Sk. has already shown female preflowers that started around week #5-6 of veg...
...more strain reports soon fellas!

Its going man! My 600 tent is doing better than ever... I've been messing with some LEDS in a new tent without much luck though, bout to throw in the towel and get a HID. I can see I'm not the only one that is juggling too many strains lol. Its so hard to let one go! I just let a NL go, put the last one into flower and I already regret not taking some cuts. It flowers soooo nicely with nice dense nugs from top to bottom. Think I might try to reveg it but there's barely any veg on the effer, its all dense bud lol. Always glad to see another round complete. Hopefully Al will check in soon and admire your handy work.

...yeah that seems to be the conclusion on the LED growing, too expensive and produces little product.... I think Al got pissed about the tap water debate. I believe most people that speak against it probably has never tried to grow with tap....my $.02, cause just as Al, it works fo' me!

...lol about the strain collection....I've done away with my NLxSK too...
...anymore, the grow strategy is so repetitive, I need new strains to keep my interest/motivation.

I hear you, its definitely nice to look forward to something new. Right now I have a Deep Purple x Haze, Blue Widow as my newbies. All the others are oldies but goodies. Tried a romulan, got a male, working on herijuana that needs to be sexed, no preflowers.

Regarding the LED's.... I really think we will see a major shift in plant health and yield in 2012, the tech is getting dialed in its just been missing the mark until recently. The lights I have produce a significantly greater amount of usable light in specific wavelengths compared to HPS, its actually TOO strong if you can believe that, lol. Unbelievable efficiency with the wavelengths, just need to hit the right targets at the right levels which has been a work in progress for a few years. Some manu's have been testing and working to produce better lights, while others just produce garbage to sell over and over again.
