No more gnats...

I would definitely leave fans and ventilation on 24/7. Monitor that plant that has the cupping effect on the leaves. It's not the normal lights off droop. Might be 1st signs that something is going wrong in the medium. Either unbuffered coco and/or to the ph is off. Check ph and ec of run off so you can get some peace of mind. Atleast you in coco so it will be easy to correct.

Wow your good man. LoL It's a coco /perlite mix and it was pointed out to me about the pH and ec. That's the stuff that have never worried about before. This mineral feeding isn't as straight forward as organic nutes. The coco was buffered but the pH might be the culprit. I could easily flush and go over to the bio bloom like the other 2 but what the point of taking on a new challenge and giving up??? I am gonna get these 2 plants sorted out again soon. Thanx for your input

I can understand man. Nothing like a hermie to fuck up your energy spent careing for it. And the lost bud.... Sho glad you found it when you did

Puff puff pass... It's cool brother. We are all only as good as the mistakes we've learnt from. And if you see someone go through something you have already its hard not to say anything. I apologise if I was harsh, I saw that message just after I found a hermie in my garden day 26 flower and those pollen sacks looked a few days from causing kak so you can imagine...

Mmmm not sure why I replied like that but I guess emotions can't be seen through text. I meant it in a good way meaning you were spot on with the medium of choice and the issue I have at hand. Advice from anyone is always greatly appreciated no matter who. Sorry if I came across rude.

Not sure about your statement about someone being good and laughing but for now I'll assume it isn't sarcasm. I'm no pro and I'm new to this forum so I don't know who needs advice and who doesn't. If you don't want my input I'll gladly refrain. Okay moving on... Don't stress about synthetics. It's much easier than organics. It's a lot quicker to fix issues and ofcourse a lot quicker to create issues. The most important part of synthetics is mixing your nutes in the correct order or else you going to have certain elements falling out of solution which leads to interrupting the buffering and ph issues. Unfortunately you not going to get rid of them fungus gnats with that 50/50 mix. Once those plants are established you going to have to feed them at a minimum once a day which isn't going to give you enough top soil dry out time to stop the gnats hence why I moved to using coco with no perlite. And then you have plastic pots with holes on the bottom which gnats love. You want to get rid of gnats... at next transplant either line the bottom inside of the pot with weed guard fabric or use a fabric pot and put a layer of silica pool filter sand on top. No more gnats

6 weeks flowering. All progressing well. I have a good seed set from this pollination round. Only started pollinating at week 5 flower. I have moved away from the bloom nutes that are available due to their ridiculous price. These plants are in 5l pots, organic medium, and been feeding seagrow in veg, and continuing into flower, and from week 2 of flower started introducing MKP(hortimix) at 1ml/l along with the seagrow, working it up to 5ml/l. So the feed ratio now is 5ml/l seagrow, 5ml/l MKP, and adding a little magsulph every 3rd feed or so. Female 1 Female 2 Reversed female

She veged outdoors for about 4 weeks maybe 5, and then repotted. I veged her for a week and then she went into the flower tent. The lights cycle is 8 on 16 off.... Gas lantern

That is flippen cool , I'm sure you going to get some good results, luckily Mr and Ms Weed does most the work, we just have to experiment and see what comes from the marriage. Phenotypical expressions according to the environment is one of the coolest things to see when breeding, experience the greatest teacher, that is for sure! One of the biggest issues a new breeder can face, breeding with a hermi or male that threw of a lot of herm offspring. The other trick I would say is when to use one male and when to use more than one male, and visa versa with the females. There is not a wrong or a right way I feel, but depending on what you want to achieve, single males usually to get specific traits passed on, or a male that passes no traits on, more males in the batch if you want to create a bigger diversity within the genome, good for finding new profiles, as well as improving genetic diversity. Oh yah @Mambawana I completly forgot, about the pollination of the beans, usually seeds need about 3 weeks to mature in my experience, 4 weeks is best. I manually pollinate the lower buds about 3 weeks into flowering, perhaps 4 weeks if she is not a explosive budder. This usually results in enough time for a nice mature bud and also mature seeds. Thanks for being a part of the group bro, feel free to create a thread here about your breeding program ,if you felt like it of course!

The leafs on the Bruce Banner and BB x GSC leafs started drooping and cupping. Of course I freaked but after an hour of lights on they recovered. There is no air movement during lights off. Is this a problem??? Temps during lights on is a constant 25C.. Will need to measure temps with lights out. When lights come on I can smell a deep musky plant smell. Typical build up of gasses.

@PsyCLown, thanks dude. The strain is wedding cake - it's incredible, bong exhale tastes like it smells. I've only done a couple runs with dry ice hash and the result is pretty potent. I have a nugsmasher XP, built in the US and weighs like a ton. Super good build quality. Flower, I'm getting between 15 and 22%, but I can tell you the flavour is incredible. 160 micron for "fresh" , meaning still has been dried but contains some moisture. Freshly picked flower contains too much moisture and the humidity level is much higher than the ideal range for rosin extraction. Live rosin takes a few extra steps - flower is frozen before any drying takes place, then processed into bubble hash, then the hash is freeze dried (love this step, but don't have a freeze drier, yet), After the fresh frozen derived bubble hash is dried, it's then pressed into rosin and provides one of the best highs and terpene profile of any concentrate. And best of all, it's SOLVENTLESS

My Cali Orange doing very well and looking super healthy. Probably about a month left for harvest and im keeping a close eye on her as many have tried to steal a few buds.
