It's A Fuct World

BTW, if you're concerned about what's in your tapwater, your local water utility will do analyses frequently- many publish that information on their website or will provide it on request.

If you're using bore/well water, your local university's agriculture/horticulture dept or county extension agent may offer analysis, often for free.

al thanks alot for answering all my questions i really appreciate it!

Yeah Al I really appreciate you too. Your opnion or answers mean a lot to us. RIU is becoming so lame now you are a golden bar to us now you helping at the best time thanks a million soon as I get my SOG going I will make a donation to you just because.

Hey al good to see you're still around. I've read most(first 50 pages) of your cloning tutorial. Following what you've said about cloning, I have 1/6 showing roots at day 7. I wanted to say thanks for the information provided, and although I don't have a heating mat I'm confident the rest will follow by day 10-12. I haven't watered them at all, do you think I will get 6/6 with enough time?

Thanks, but no, please. If I got paid to do this, it'd become a millstone- really fast. I'd feel obligated to answer promptly and extensively- and I'm a stoned slacker, so you know damned well that's never gonna happen.

Cheers to y'all.

Yes, cloning will certainly work without a heat mat, but mat will make things faster & more reliable. Worth the investment, avail at most gardening shops. You might have all 6 popped by now if you used a heat mat. If you mind the watering closely- never wet, always just damp- you'll get all 6 in time. Will just take longer & the roots won't pop quite as prolifically, but it'll still work.

Just checked them again 3/6 now. 1 of them is growing roots like it's planning on taking over. There is a heating mat for sale at my local hydro shop so I'll prolly get that tomorrow. It's like 20 bucks... I was thinking once I get my clones in my aero system should i start them at like 200-300 ppm right away or should I wait a week into flowering?

Hey Al,

Great to see you back and contributing when you have time. I have a question about your system. What are your thoughts about coco or coco chips as a substrate? Thanks in advance.

Hey Al how do you do your electricty do you have extension cords thru out the house so you wouldnt clog up one amp or do you have a electric box or something so you dont have to have cords going to different rooms in the house?

Not a fan of coconut coir. It will break down into little fragments that may get caught in pumps. Use an inorganic medium.

My op is in a single room and has its own run of 10ga Romex cable to the breaker box and its own circuit breaker. Never, ever run extension cords all over the place. Never exceed 80% of the rating of cabling or connectors, i.e. never more than 8A through a 10A rated cable or connector.

The 2nd most common cause of police discovery of grow ops (after being dobbed in by dissatisfied grow partners or aggrieved exGFs/BFs) is fires caused by substandard electrics.

Dame so what to do? IDK anything about electrcity. And I got one extension cord to the laundry room for the 1000 watt the 600watt is plug to the grow room into the surge protecter with 1 oscilating fan my inline fan, water pumps 2,air pump and t5 lights for vegg,wtf to do I dont want to turn on my lights now I'll wait till you come back lol j/k but I'll be waiting for ya

Hey Al Im a little confuse about what you said. Never, ever run extension cords all over the place. Never exceed 80% of the rating of cabling or connectors, i.e. never more than 8A through a 10A rated cable or connector. Can you say that in lame terms?

...Hi Al! ...I thought you and viewers may like to gander at the progress....this is PPP (pure power plant) the first 3 weeks of flowering from clone....

Hi, this is a question for Al or trichome...Al, you said a few pages back not to cover the rootmass with anything that would trap air and moisture. I have experimented with putting panda film over the ebb and flow table to allow roots to grow out of the pot and onto the table. My grow medium is hydroton and I do use 6.8 ml 29% h2o2 solution. I haven't seen any problems at all but I would like your experience on the matter.

Trichome, from your pictures earlier, you grow in plastic fence posts similar to a NFT technique? Do you notice problems with moisture or lack of oxygen by covering your trays?

Al, as you are more competent and like god of buds for me, can you offer me some good strain for op like yours?

Big yield is most important, potency is important too but on a second position. I tried Grape God but potency is not very high. Somebody said that Blue Cheese will be good - in my opinion potency is excellent, but yield leaves a lot to be desired. I can't find strain which has both characteristics with 8 weeks flowering.

What do you think about it?

Thanks

...good day Distiller! I like the setup!...I fill my fence post with rocks to prevent moisture issues....I cover my tables with panda poly and grow in netted pots, which new air enters through and bypasses the roots as the table drains....this has been the most productive technique for me, I wouldn't trump my words over Al's, I'm a lifelong pupil.
