Hello. this is the end of week 5 and the beginning of week 6. The resin production has kicked in. The plants are really drinking a lot of food this week which is normal for a indica. I had to add 10 gallons of extra nutrient solution this week.
-I won the Best Bouquet Contest that ended last week and I won a 25 seed pack of Crop King Seeds. They haven't contacted me yet.
-I thought I was going to get ripped of from OA Seeds in Spain, but their seeds came this week 2 days after my Sensible Seeds order got here. OA Seeds order "hassle" went on for more than 3 months so I ordered from Sensible Seeds which took about 3 weeks to get here. So I've got over 100 seeds to go through for the next 2 years. And I want to work on my own strain with the regular seeds I got. Sound like a lot of work.
-The day I won the contest the seeds that I had ordered from OA Seeds arrived and later that day I went a big box store to get some supplies for my 2 new grow tents. I got to the check out and the last thing to go through was 2 dehumidifiers which I had to pay for first and then go pick them up at customer service by the warehouse. I put my stuff in my truck and went back for the dehumidifiers. It was 7 pm and there was 2 young girls at customer service and she took about 5 minutes to get my things. She asked to see my recite and handed it back quickly. After I was home awhile I looked at the recite and there was no dehumidifiers on it. I even said to the check out girl when I saw that the price was a little lower than it should have been. I asked, have you put the dehumidifiers on the recite. She said Oh Yes. So I tried to pay twice ??? and then walked out with 2 new free dehumidifiers. What a day I won $240. worth of seeds, got my OA Seeds, and got 2 free dehumidifiers. Glad I didn't get caught but I thought I had payed, until I got home. My wife said don't feel bad you tried to pay twice.
-The water mixers in the pictures. I used to be a garbageman and I found a mixer that still worked. I brought it home and cut it up and adapted it to my needs. I needed to cut the plastic away from the shaft and glue a piece to hold the turning shaft in place. It worked great for about 18 years but recently it started to have a burnt plastic smell when I ran it and lube didn't help. So I saw the new one for under $20. and it only needed to have the plastic tip cut off and to bend the cutting blade into a propeller. Works great but I miss the speed control that I had on the first one. I mix my solution in 5 gallon water bottles, so the mixer can mix the solution in just a few seconds. It also dissipates chlorine in the water the more oxygen you mix with it. So you can take water straight from the tap and in a few minutes you can blast 90% of the chlorine out of it with the mixer. If water has been sitting for more than 24 hours most of the oxygen has dissipated out of it. The mixer can oversaturate the water with oxygen in just a few minutes. The mixer is a very well used piece of equipment that I've used for years. I'm sorry to see the old one go.
Till next week. Chuck.

Great grow, really sweet looking. On the perlite thing, General hydroponics sites they sell multiple perlite types. I just bought a 10l bag for €7.99. Check out that store either the .EU or .com sites, they have the cheapest in literally everything, there is no store that I've been able to find that beats any of their prices of 1000's of products. Especially if someone is using GH OR ADVANCED NUTRIONS. There prices are sooo cheap. As well as the perlite i was able to buy 14 AN sensi coco feeding chart nuts and it only came €330 and just as an example compared to the next cheapest place of the same products and volume per per product, came to €680. And if you spend 150 or more it's free delivery. If you want to find the right set Advanced nutrition that works well best together just type in Advanced nutritions feeding table and hit what type of chart you'd like and it gives you a list of what nuts go well together in said chart.
@gottagrowsometime, Thanks brother. I'll defiantly check that out. Thanks for taking the time to answer. When I was at the grow store a couple of week ago I asked about the perlite in the large bags and they said there's still a shortage in the world. So the prices here are still inflated. I'll check that site out. Thanks, Chuck.
@Godesskat, Thanks Buddy. Yes I agree with that. I only drink at celebrations now and that's only 1/2 a beer. I take my beer bottle in the washroom with me and pour it out and fill the bottle with water. The only trouble is when a friend walks up with a open beer and gives it to you. Then I drink 1/2 and say I got to go to the washroom. Chuck.
