    Qwerty's Merlin's Beard (and auto's!)

    Just a quick pic for today, things are going well. Girls have been trained, lights are being switched tonight, one of them got a bit of nute burn but I have corrected the issue and she's recovered nicely. Also, I have topped each node on all my mains about 3 days ago.

    Qwerty's Merlin's Beard (and auto's!)

    Little update today, and a few pics. Lost most of the sprouts while away for an extended weekend, had to replant replacements. I decided to cut back to nine plants instead of ten, so as to have a 3x3 setup under my light. I also turned off the "more light" setting on my light, which has...

    Qwerty's Merlin's Beard (and auto's!)

    The store versions usually work, they just can be expensive for what is basically 99.99% water. I think the suggested strength is anything over 50ppm, I make mine to around 200ppm. Main thing is to continue spraying even after the pollen sacks start to form or they may stop and not produce pollen.

    Qwerty's Merlin's Beard (and auto's!)

    I make Colloidal Silver with some .99 silver wire and a little battery circuit I cobbled together. When you spray the plants with them daily it inhibits Ethylene (a hormone) inside the cells. Ethylene is what tells the plant to make female parts instead of male parts. The resulting male flowers...

    Haven't popped the beans yet, but am setting up for a new grow. Putting 5 seeds of my cross and 5 auto freebies I received from Attitude and Nirvana about 5 years ago. This line-up is: 5x Merlin's Beard 3x Jock Horror AF (Nirvana) 1x Kush AF (Attitude freebie) 1x Diesel AF (Attitude freebie)...

    Blueberry x Colombian Gold

    I have a few plants I have going right now, they are crosses between DJ Shorts' Blueberry and Colombian Gold from Royal Queen Seeds. These girls are part of a pheno hunt. Two out of three smell fantastic. The third has virtually no smell and very little growth (starting to develop a scent now...

    Two more weeks?

    I have a couple girls that I am looking after, would like to defer to you guys on what kind of timeline I am looking at for harvest here, note these pics were taken immediately after watering so the plants should perk up shortly, and I have raised the light a bit due to the heat stress at the...

    1st grow, mama mia and blueberry, 1000w

    PSA: Just a tip of you haven't already made the spray. Dont spray it on the flowers, just specifically on the bigger fan leaves and the soil surface. I had a buddy who, when I told him about pepper sauce, sprayed his whole plant. When he died it and cured it and tried to smoke his first hit, he...

    Colloidal Silver to make fem seeds question

    Just some more advice, continue spraying once a day even after the pollen sacs form, otherwise you run the risk of the sacs not actually producing any pollen. I've tried it both ways side-by-side and it does make a huge difference. You can make a CS generator, but it's actually pretty cheap to...

    Qwerty's Colombian Gold (600w)

    Sorry about the lights, but it's all I've got at the moment. Blue Mystic: Northern Lights Colombian Gold She is filling in nicely. I have 2 new auto's going which could potentially finish even before the CG girl here. Here's another one of the CG

    1st grow, mama mia and blueberry, 1000w

    They do have DJ Shorts Blueberry though, among many other blueberry strains. Not cheap though, almost $15/seed. https://www.seedsman.com/en/blueberry-10-regular-seeds Is this the one you got? Or one of their many other BB strains? Edit: Meant to say, nice going so far. Sub'd.

    Qwerty's Colombian Gold (600w)

    CG girl had pH imbalance, it was really affecting the leaves and turning them yellow and waxy. I have given her a modified watering and she is looking 10x better. Before (actually was worse when I got to it): After (24 hours after pH correction): The other girls are looking good, thickening...

    Not 100% sure what is causing this discoloration

    I was thinking it meant the elements raising the pH initially were being dragged out in the soil, leaving the soil high and the runoff low. Tried it, my pen was going all over the place though so I switched to measuring runoff instead. It was somewhere around 6.8, I adjusted it to 7.0 though...

    Not 100% sure what is causing this discoloration

    So I couldn't get the soil pH probes working so I watered with balanced distilled and measured the runoff to see what stays in the soil vs comes out. The pH was being dropped as it flowed through meaning it was leaving the soil too high. Ran about 3/4 of a gallon of low pH'd water through the...
