Morning O.F.C.!-- Cold this morning! --44/56 today !--

 

[giggy]

morning ofc, 47º this morn.

fog the c99 went badly.

i think i may have a problem in my box. the soil i used is the same stuff i have used for years but my babies are not doing well. they put on their first set of leaves then stopped. so i guess i'll be going to b'ham for some happy frog. the soil i have been using was nk the they changed the name to morse ferry, it is from plantation products the same folks that make the jiffy pucks. i have used the same soil for the last 7 years with no problems and it looks to be the last time. something i did this time was to leave the lights on, instead of 18/6 but that shouldn't matter. i got last seasons outdoor soil for recycle but i don't believe i need it indoors as i know it would more then likely have bugs in it.

Morning Keef, wet and cool....80% chance of storms today the the cold air will settle in over the latter part of the week.

 

[Kraven]

Morning OFC and Giggy, I'm off to the post in about 20 mins, lemme know when they land.

 

[Kraven]

Giggy , I ran a few veg's 24/0 and all it did was muck up my plants too, and cost money....never again.....18/6 veg and 12/12 flower no more wonky schedules for me either.

Where the O.F.C. ? -- So I pretty much got good plants for extraction !--I wanted to breed some tetras and the world conspired against me !--Nothing worthwhile is easy !--I know what I'll have to do !-- Hopefully I'll only have to do it once !-- I can find or breed me a killer oil producer --I can grow whatever D.D. wants !-- And run my little science project too!-- I still got a fair to middling chance of pulling it off !--

 

[Keef]

Giggy --Kraven what up ? Didn 't see U guys !-- I started D.D. babies under 24/7 --They look good but I'm putting them back on 18/6 !-- Did U cook that dirt Giggy ? -- Too hot --too long and it makes poison dirt !!!

Good morning peeps.

Nes, I think you have plenty of nutes, what kind of soil are you in? Don't be in a hurry to feed the plants as babies..

Got up made some keif tincture for my s-i-l. Did a dry sift and added everclear and some grated cinnamon and a bit of honey. It might be the best tasting to date. I spoke with the chef of the magical butter and he told me to do this. He was an awesome guy.

Kraven i veg 24/7 under led and have for years and am very happy with it. Interesting that you are not happy with it.

My kids are still here, leaving today.. I will be glad to have quiet again.

Morning Rose --They look fine and are growing well maybe I'll leave them alone !--

If I take Umbra's CWO and do a seed grow --Do the voodoo on those seed-- I go straight to 8n !--Breed it back to the original 4n to produce that 6n male I wanted in the first place !-- -- U see I have this problem !-- An example may explain it best !--When I was in helicopter pilot school in Fort Rucker Ala. back in the day --They told us the TH-55 trainer we were flying would not hover at 1,000 feet !--I came back and said --We'll it did for me !

 

[Keef]

I think maybe I start from scratch !-- Follow my dream instead of having to adapt to what's available !--Just a project --doesn't have to happen !-- I could do just fine without it !-- I don't thinkDr. David Suzuki made U.B.C. Chemo --But I know who ever made it ain't got nothing on me !-- It can be done !--It has been done --So move over and let's see if Keef can do it ! ---If U can't tell --I'm pretty high !

Good Morning O.F.C. Low 30s here Burrr....How bout a morning Puff....:48:

 

[mrcane]

Giggy , I ran a few veg's 24/0 and all it did was muck up my plants too, and cost money....never again.....18/6 veg and 12/12 flower no more wonky schedules for me either.

So is there any advantage of running the lights in Veg 24/0? ,or are we just wasting six Hrs. of power??... That 600 mh for 24 seems like a lot light...
I see T5s in my future....

 

[Keef]

That's funny Cane --it's a debate that goes on !-- 18/6 works ! --So does 24/7 !-- --Gonna be overcast today with another front and rain on the way !-- I'm running those babies at 24/7 because I was too lazy to go get a timer !-- LEDs don't use that much power !

 

[giggy]

no keef straight out of the bag, if i had used last seasons soil i would have baked it. i'm gonna set the timer tonight and see what happens.

krav will do.

 

[Kraven]

Good morning peeps.

Kraven i veg 24/7 under led and have for years and am very happy with it. Interesting that you are not happy with it.

I know they are high energy plants but I did a side by side and saw no difference in plant maturity and in some cases my plants did not respond well, I'm a firm believer in the krebs cycle and I feel like I get a better quality plant with less health issues under 18/6, which more resembles their natural habitat. I'm glad you found a method that works for you and your pleased with...I veg under a 400w MH so maybe if I was vegging with T5's or LED that might be different....I do not have experience with T5's or LED.

Here are the results I'm getting......debate is over for me.

 

[Kraven]

So.... nobody get excited please, I deleted my grow thread today. I figured since I get very little traffic it is not really beneficial to the community, and I spend the majority of time here in the OFC. I simply saw no need to host a grow thread anymore. From time to time I may drop a pic in the OFC, but my grows are consistent, I seem to be just posting nearly the same pic's just different strains over and over. I have in no way backed out of this site just freeing up time to spend elsewhere, hope to visit more threads here at MP.

 

[mrcane]

Kraven We will miss your thread for sure, hopefully you have more time & keep sharing your beautiful work and your wealth of knowledge!!!!

 

[Rosebud]

Kraven that is the beauty, you can do what ever you want.

I think the led vs t5's and MH may be the answer to your vegging and my vegging. I like the T5 and get much closer nodes with 24 hour, less stretching. You know what works for you...boy do we all...such beauty you produce.

My son and daughter are out to breakfast then she and her husband are headed home. It has been a nice holiday.

Mr cane, stay warm over there.. burr.
Keef, good decision about the canadian thing.. I am glad you didn't get ripped off and Umbra had some very good points about all that..

Good morning hippie, 420, you still wearing that sweater?

 

[umbra]

I have all that backed up, except the Chem 91 Grail Cut, in beans in the frig.....a little birdy told me Mr.Soul is working his C99 again so there should be new things in the works for Bros. Grimm in the next year. I'm saving about 15 beans to get a breeding male out of the NDN 88G13 H/P....that's where the fire is, I have just not settled on another IBL stain to start fooling around with....sure have given some thoughts to a Barneys Farm Nightshade x NDN 88G13 H/P. I wouldn't mind working that cross for a bit.

Yes I have heard Mr. Soul is back doing his thing. I still have some C99, A11, and rosetta stone beans from him.

I have been reading that cannabis likes darkness and that the plants process plant hormones at night, just like people process serotonin and other neuro chemical transmitters. I find that the plants handle stress better.
