Sopappy's grow

[Dr. Green Fang]

Trichome colors and affects of them and Sativas Vs Indicas. That's what you need to be checking in on right now. You don't get paranoia or "drag ***" from a heavy Sativa with all Cloudy Trichs... hahahaha You get stuff done!

Oh, sopappy, we need to get you into some good sativas. Nothing like a great sativa to kick start you in the mornings. Never heard of incorrect cure causing paranoia...have to check it out. I had always thought it was inexperienced smokers and too strong sativas...Mandala actually warns about that in their Satori description: "Recommended for experienced smokers and if you have a high THC tolerance. Persons not used to highly psychoactive sativas should be cautious with the dosage."

I will be setting up an LED grow here. I bought a 3 x 5 tent that arrived yesterday and after much discussion, I am going to borrow a light from someone to get me started--we decided to try this first. But, I will also need to pick up something else to go in the space as the one is not enough. I am going to be using an Apollo Purple Sun 768 W and am thinking of getting a Mars II to go with it--might be fun to compare the cob against the not cob. Some of the plants will be run in organic soil and some hydro, probably DWC, but I may do an flood and drain. Although I have been growing forever, this is a new game and I am still learning the rules. Trying to absorb all the knowledge I can, so while I really have little advise, I am looking forward to learning all I can.

I was in the local wally world a week or so ago.............. I was looking at the new 4D TV's........ . not long after toking a tater of some satori........ had me a few moments of... WOW I'M SO STONED........ totally overwhelmed by the high for a couple mins........ I think it was only a couple of mins anyway....... hey at least I didn't wreck my bike......:doh:

I'm so excited for this ol' dog to learn some new tricks. It's nice to see that THG

 

[The Hemp Goddess]

I'll never give up learning new stuff! It is part of what makes life fun and exciting. Not just gardening stuff, but everything. I am going to be making a butcher block table top for an island here soon--from wood from a tree on my property that we cut down about 18months ago. So cool to be able to make something like that with wood from your property. And the LEDs and the new way of growing with them is another adventure.

I think I am going to give AN's pH Perfect a go and see if it is. I am getting to the end of my gallons of GH Flora series. If I find the pH perfect is not, I will go with Jungle Juice and continue to pH.

ah, the nuances of when to harvest, I do remember reading about cloudy for a more cerebral high. I always pulled at the first sign of amber... I'm thinking that was too late. Indicas are shorter and easier to grow too.
If I can master this ramp stuff, I'm trying Sativas again.

I have the survivors in flower right now, week 3, they look surprisingly good. So, this time, I'll try to pull before I see amber.

>>> Oh, I know it's the Sativa I want, I just don't think I can grow them. The one time I tried, the thing took off, I thought I'd be able climb it and slay a giant. But I wasn't brave enough to do any training back then. Next time

Never heard of incorrect cure causing paranoia...have to check it out.

>>> I just read that this week but failed to note the source. I'm drowning in notes,

I had always thought it was inexperienced smokers and too strong sativas...Mandala actually warns about that in their Satori description: "Recommended for experienced smokers

>>> check

and if you have a high THC tolerance.

>>> check

Persons not used to highly psychoactive sativas should be cautious with the dosage."

>>> doesn't scare me, I was hippie.

>>> cob ?
>>> 768 watt? holy crap,wow! actual draw? That's a monster. I've read more smaller ones are better than one big one. P Jammer I think.

>>> Doc and Kraven are holding my hand here and I am making some serious progress and gaining confidence daily. My two biggest gaffs...

LEDS FEED PLANTS, (halve your ppms)
BUBBLE THE BUCKETS (I wasn't even going to do that, just a drip but when I saw that motor Kraven picked up, something clicked

Hey THC, thanks for the rubber mat tip. It will also help with the slippery floors... the one thing I'm starting to hate about DWC... water and electricty scare me. I'm constantly wiping up spills or even slipping. I don't like losing my footing in there!

tents... ya... I sure put a lot of work in to building two rooms when I didn't have to build anything! I thought they were more expensive than they are, seems to me they are well worth it but I made my bed...

please see >>> up there for more babbling

Omigawd, Doc, did you just call THG an old dog?

BWAHAHAHAHAHA, thanks for that.
Now, tell us about the time you wrecked your bike.

 

[Rosebud]

Omigawd, Doc, did you just call THG an old dog?

Oh man, i sure hope not.!

 

[sopappy]

Oh man, i sure hope not.!

I always shoot my mouth off and think later. I shouldn't have posted that; I thought it'd be a chuckle but it's just awkward. My apologies, Doc and THG, I was trying to be funny, it doesn't always work.

 

[Dr. Green Fang]

I was trying to be funny, it doesn't always work.

I saw the humor in it, so nothing to be worried about.

THG knew how I ment it

 

[sopappy]

Great! Thanks, Doc, I mean well, simply misguided, here's another tasteless post!

Rememeber the father in that classic "A Christmas Story" trying to fix the furnace in the basement? Well, that was me this morning...
I discovered pH was a scary 5.5 in the soil so I took some unpH'd city water sitting at 8.6 and started flushing. I figured a gallon would be plenty, 2 L pots.
I take a reading of the run-off.... wait for it
5.5


There coming to take me away ha ha ho ho hee hee to the funny farm where life is alway...
(if that draws a blank, it's here, takes awhile before the song starts)

[Dr. Green Fang]

WHOA... flushed with super super high PH water..........and still 5.5? I hate soil. And I hate the word "hate", so that'll tell you something.

 

[Dr. Green Fang]

Sopappy.. that video was demented HAH!

 

[sopappy]

Sopappy.. that video was demented HAH!

Ya, guilteee
As a kid when it came out, I thought it was hilarious and loved the guy's voice freaking out as the song progressed.
But it was very controversial and the short school bus crowd were not amused at all. I think it was even banned for awhile. I don't think you'd hear it anywhere today except the internet.
Pretty rude hahahaha

Hey Doc
I really shouldn't be doing this, I don't think I'm cut out for it. Farmers are a different breed. I'm not a farmer, I'm just a father what wants to be sure his kids get clean pot. That, and I'm cheap and have NEVER had a hobby that didn't have the potential for coin.

To quote the limp blimp, nobody's fault but mine
I'm using old soil that I probably should have discarded.
These are the survivors from those ugly baby pictures and that bunch has been to hell and back, I can't believe they're still alive and they look pretty good too.

3 of them, the pH wasn't rising, in fact, it dropped a bit !!!
the 4th one showed an increase and I calmed down, I guess just more, more , more but then the light went at 0700 and I had to leave...

Weehoo, Saturday night with my girls in the bathtub, I can hardly wait.
Hope my delivery makes it today....
finally got some sleep last night, first 2 nights were brutal and the nausea is just starting to fade today. Appetite is gone! And I'll need Cialis if I get lucky.... woe is me

Don't let anyone tell you this stuff in non-addictive and harmless. It is not. It is one clever plant (see my sig, not my quote, don't know who, but I like it) I like to flush myself a couple times a year and it amazes me how brutal the withdrawal can be.

Not preaching here, just sharing... Us 60+ folks are the marijuana guinea pigs. It's still not as bad as a hangover though and I've never come to in an emergency room after smoking pot!

But if you've been "daily" for years, you really should try a flush and show these beaches who's boss

Man, I wish I was stoned....

Are there still droughts these days, I remember times you simply could not get it... there was even an expression if memory serves...
"Dope will get you through times of no money better than money will get you through times of no dope"

 

[Dr. Green Fang]

I did a "flush" last year for the first time in 15 years or so. I went 10 days, and some was tough some was not. I need it for meds though, and if I "need it" then I NEED IT and forget about flushing any systems hahah

 

[sopappy]

I didn't mean that to come off as preaching. I was just more surprised it was so tough this time, thought I'd share with the researchers
I think I actually got a bit of a ramp going here.

 

[sopappy]

I'm being punished. 4 of them in buckets, roots started to show but only one bucket seems to be growing. Here are 3 pictures of that same plant. Sure is discouraging. It's just one battle after another. Water temp is not ideal but does not exceed 72.
All kinds of oxygen in there, in fact, I think the bubbles were too hard on the new roots if that's possible.
