Schafe1001 Starting to dial it in, I think? Finally, it seems my plant was growing faster than the chlorophyll could keep up. Thai and some ph adjustment and I woke up smiling 🙂

Grow Questions

Schafe1001started grow question 1mo ago

Can somebody tell me something other than the ph that causes lighter colored leaves 🍃 at the early flowering site? The 400 W LED does not give off much heat and is even dialed back to 60% now. Scratching my head.

Schafe1001 I’m probably really a week behind number eight, but I just can’t contain my excitement. Lol everything‘s looking pretty good. The roots are plentiful in the nice shade of alabaster.

Grow Questions

Schafe1001started grow question 20d ago

I’m using some homemade CO2, yeast, raisins, sugar, 5 gallon warm water with bubbler on top. This worked well 32 years ago but I’m curious about the current use/opinion on CO2

Hi! That's a classic and inexpensive way to produce CO₂, and it's still being used today—even by many growers I know in my country. That said, if cost isn't a concern, there are easier and more efficient alternatives available nowadays. By the way, I recently completed a genetic cross project by reversing a female plant, and I'm currently testing the results. I'd be happy if you checked out my page. 🙏👽

Schafe1001 Almost to the finish line. Bulking up like none I’ve seen before. Way to go 42. If you like this, please tell me if you see any areas I can do better. Only my fourth grow this year. How much bud can you actually get from two decent plants of auto flower?

Schafe1001 Oops, things started from seed on May 20, so that makes these about two months (56 days) In other words, this is week eight and a picture of each plant after defoliation slightly. Ok, so now I got rid of the wrong pics for the wrong week and took current pics for the correct week. In the last few days, major development has happened that is not like any bag seed I’ve ever grown. One of the gelato phenos has colas that are 24 inches or more, that 2 feet! Amazed…2 more weeks. 😜 today was the final deflation and feeding… everything’s done but the waiting to do the cold dark dry closet for two days

Schafe1001 Made a little live rosin from larf. Got it crypto frozen, 1.4g and got back .35 rosin. Anyway, I don’t think I could get any better results unless I was blessed with better equipment. The green thumb is still working after more than three decades. I can see the compact one will be done probably 10 to 14 days before the tall one. But at this rate, the taller one is putting on weight and I’m hoping to see a half LB from it.
