I remember another contestant getting dq for not updating as the rules dictate, what is the case here? I see it's been 2 weeks? Just checking, I know a bunch of stuff changed in regards to the end date / judgement day thing.

I used to go for the unbleached OCB papers, but now I like this pack better so I roll with them

@Dr. Green Thumb what's up bud Just a reminder everytime you gona work with coco to make sure the coco is buffered. If you buying already expanded coco make sure the brand states it's buffered, if you gona buy coco bricks you gona have to buffer them yourself. another noteworthy thing when doing a coco/perlite grow is you're basically doing a hydroponic grow. the coco/perlite will just act as a medium the roots can hold onto, this will mean you gona be better off using nutes meant for hydroponic growing. you been growing outdoors so I am gona shoot in the dark here and assume it wasn't hydro setup and you didn't do much in regards of PH and EC? if you wana move over to coco/perlite hydro style grow you gona have to pay close attention to PH and EC. with living soil and organic growing you don't concern yourself with that too much, although I do recommend getting a PH and EC pen on hand anyway for those check ups and to minimize guessing work. Freedom Farms I think is the go to with most growers using that (there is a poll on the forum, also word of mouth), honestly I have tried every bag of cannabis "craft" soil, the most important thing here is actually consistency, freedom farms has that down to a T. every single time I try out new soil I think it's the kitties titties, till I run into shit then I find myself back on the ol' trusty, Freedom Farms green bag. if you growing in a living soil I would recommend going the organic nutrient way, there will be much conflict surrounding this topic and I shit you not it will never end. however choice is yours anyway. GOLDEN RULE - with living soils and organic nutrients LESS IS MORE, and in any living soil you wait till the plant starts asking for nutes instead of just giving the whole time like with sythetic nutes. argument is always organic is so much more expensive, well honestly you use like 1/10th of the amount of shit you'll need for hydro.

Welcome! Excited to see what you growing!

Welcome! show us what you working on

Welcome!

that's quite an orgy they're having! they probably laying eggs in the soil, some bugs lay eggs directly on plants but usually then bugs who feed on the plants aswell, I would just keep a eye on them

she's already looking much better remember all the new soil is jam packed with nutes, so keep the water pure till she's settled atleast or even till she starts asking for food. that's much easier to diagnose and rectify than overfeed. that's a moerse pot how big is it? you could possibly fill that whole space with just one plant in that size pot! I would still recommend checking the EC though, if your ph is in check and you get that EC in the 0.8 - 1.2 range your plant will literally explode with new growth.

late harvest (mostly amber trichs) - CBD/CBN rich, few more medicinal properties, hit's the body rather than the mind, longer lasting high, couch lock, sleep inducing. early harvest (mostly clear trichs) - hits the mind rather than the body, can cause a speedy feeling inducing anxiety and paranoia, high is short lasting. both are "intense" for different reasons, I like early harvest too cause I am already lazy as it is

oh yeah bud then you on point! general consensus says when you think it's ready give it another week

Are those photos deep in the nugs on a calyx or on the outside on sugar leaves? Looks goood, but if it's on the sugar leaves you gotta remember those trichs ripen faster. If it looks like this inside the nug you are golden

holy fucking shit! now I am more interested than ever in why the hell this stuff is sparky like that!!! I heard stories back in the day of weed being harvested in some rather "unsanitary" places and the dry rooms being sprayed with doom and dotted with rat poisons to keep insects, spiders and rodents at bay, then the weed gained stories of being laced with doom to "make it stronger" but the guys who did it, didn't do it to intentionally lace the weed, though the stuff got on the weed anyway and caused problems with the consumers. but what you guys are telling me now is wild.... got me researching a bunch and came up with some crazy shit!!!! some legal grow facilities in the great 'Muricas use forms of radiation to clean their weed post harvest!!!! This guy seems legit, gives sources for personal research for all the sceptics, his channel on youtube has actually got quite a bunch of facts on weed for those of us who may have some unanswered questions about weed.

I see you getting your stuff from the Brackenfell Hydro store, so I am assuming you from cpt area? Depending on where you are I could possible swing by with my EC pen. First follow what was said, plain water from here on. if you repot, the new soil will also be loaded with nutes, so I would say, leave her in the pot she is for now and just give plain water to rehabilitate her to where she is actually able to form new roots and uptake nutes. (this will be when you see new healthy looking green growth on top) she's still in shock now and repotting into more nutritional soil will only shock her even more. If a week or two goes by and the girl still not looking good you may need to flush her. Then I will come over and help you flush her to the right EC.

Hey bud, hope you are well That plant can easily be saved still no worries, let's see what we can do! Just 3 quick questions, first one, you got a EC or PPM pen? can really save you right now!! And then explain a bit more the watering regime? The tap water gets bubbled and sits at 6.2 to 6.5 and then you add the nutes? Or do you bubble it untill you mix the nutes and then ph before giving to the plants? Last one, what ml/L of those biobizz products you giving? 6.2 to 6.5 ph for living soil is 100%. won't lock out anything in that range. Although, I do think you might be looking at lockout, but from nutrient toxicity. Your medium EC will tell you what to do right now. Living soils are already loaded with food, then you ammended with wormcastings, humigrow and molasses and you're giving all those biobizz products. EC for that size plant should be 0.3 to 0.6 and I think you might have gone a little above that with all those nutes. just my guess, but depending on how you ph your water before giving to the plants and how much ml/L you used of the biobizz stuff could possibly change my guess

DE will only really work on soft bodies such as larvae dwelling in the top soil. if the plants are still in veg you gona have to combine a contact treatment with preventative measure. fighting a already existing colony and keeping the plant happy and thriving is a big challenge, there is no one and done treatment here, it will be a series of steps. I would suggest 50 to 75% (this shit is strong as hell and can easily burn your plants) strength Pyrol treatment, 3 or 4 days later a 50% Neem soil drench (don't want to contaminate your soil and make it uninhabitable for your plant), atleast 7 to 10 days after first Pyrol treatment do a second Pyrol at 50 to 75% again, another 3 or 4 days later the second 50% Neem soil drench. repeat this untill you see no more flies. if plant is showing signs of being unhappy, dial back on the % of product you spraying and skip a week of treatment to give some recovery time, but not too long, need to stay ontop of those fly fucks. once you don't see any more activity, continue with IPM, I would suggest keeping a dry layer of DE ontop of the soil, with light 25 to 50% Neem sprays every week untill flower.

DE mixed into soil will slowly release minute amounts of calcium and silica in the soil, but it becomes nearly ineffective as a insecticide once wet or mixed into the soil. it also basically only works on larvae and soft bodied insects. usually something that can already fly won't be impacted by it at all. best way to use DE for countering insect life to throw a thin dry layer of it ontop of your soil, not after you watered cause it will just become wet and ineffective, wait till top soil is dry and sprinkle. Golden rule is it will never work for infestations. do this as preventative measure, rather than waiting to see unwanted activity then jump into action. by the time you see unwanted movement you gona wana do a contact insecticide treatment like Pyrol or something that will take out a already forming colony. probably gona have to do two treatments, a week apart from eachother. then continue with IPM to keep them at bay. needless to say we spray nothing during flower so all this needs to be done during veg. Also good tippy tip is to kinda always as soon as you repotted something as soon as it's dry ontop you sprinkle DE, and repeat after every watering about 5 times. So you repot, water in, the very next day will be when the larvae in the first 5cm of soil will become active and also a good time to sprinkle a layer of dry DE all over the top of the soil. so that when the larvae move upwards to hatch it will kill itself when it tries to pass by the DE.. ✌ I love DE, always got some on hand and I use it religiously. it works.

is this bud standing by itself?

Happy belated birthday, brother!!! those babies probably held back just to give you a nice surprise on your special day, no other gift like the gift of life, hey hope you had a great day and may you have fruitful year ahead of you

man that's still something I am facing myself! props to you mr@Pants, your lungs definitely will appreciate the change! I haven't been able to discipline myself enough to put the bongs aside, too passionate about my glass collection. I might like the ritual of packing, smoking, cleaning and appreciating a peice of glass more than the rest of the ceremony

well that sucks man hope they update their shit and get back to you in the end, that's a lot of money to "steal". there really are so many places out there selling seeds and the more of them that pop up the more space it creates for shit to go wrong. not saying they planned to steal your money or anything, what I am trying to say is I saw it happen to a very reputable local seed bank where they went through some difficulties and kinda went awol there for a second, probably turned a whole lot of people against them too and then one day they just made a comeback. now they up and running in full swing. (don't know if you remember the cannabist situation) not sure if they satisfied all the custormer demands that happened during that time, but these are things that happen to businesses. with that looong list of seed banks there are obviously a few that are in full motion with no troubles and I have to agree on Trophy, I ordered from them sort of recently and together with a couple other times I ordered from them they really do deliver satisfactory service and product.

any update @Green? hope you didn't get scammed man!

wow shit man do you still have some of the bud? my first question to you is simple, is the weed properly dried yet? sorry if that's a dumb question, but you never know if you really sure it's not seeds or stems it could be that he rushed or pushed something during harvest/dry/cure and depending on where he rushed or pushed it, it may have different levels of concern. if you have some, grind some up and take a real close look at it, maybe post a photo for us? I had a plant shoot out nanners at the end of a grow, pushed them too far and it pollinated a spot here and there in the tent that started forming seeds. I could see the little swolen pockets in the flowers when closely inspected, I gave some of that weed to my brother in law and he also smoked it without noticing the seeds, cz they just started forming and is really just a hard peice of green "barky" seed shell that looks just like the rest of the weed, but it will crackle when sparked. if this is the case then it just depends on the smoker how much they like it, personally I can't stand it. if this is not the case, then you actually do have right to be a bit worried as your friend might be smoking on some carcinogens. it will be minute amounts, nothing to write home about. I mean there are carcinogenic particulates in the food we eat and the air we breathe, but be careful as that is the last list in life that you wana keep adding to. we rather wana make that list shorter. in this case the snap, crackle and pop is the sign of nutrients that the plant needed when it was alive that are still present in forms of sugars, salts, startch and other forms of oils that you do not wana smoke. this would be the result of pumping the plant with too much PPM in the last period of its life and not making sure the plant was atleast starting to fade before harvest. so pushed the nutes and then rushed the harvest. also, did he perhaps wash the bud after he harvested? some people wash their buds with lime juice and bicarbonate of soda then they forget to wash all that off with clean water and this may also result in a snap, crackle and pop and probably more carcinogenic and the biggest risk to your health of all the rest. definitly not a calyx problem though, the more calyx the better

glad it was something new to some of you, was new to me too and I gotta say I already like this tech much better just because it took me about 30min to do all my plants and I didn't snap a single branch. big improvement for me hahah I can be a bit heavy handed when comes to manipulating plants, sometimes I feel I can snap a branch just by looking at the plant for too long I won't completely kick the other methods to the curb though as you might have to move a few tops around to allow light penetration or to create a even canopy. the recovery time it takes a top to harden and stand back up once you softened the branch allows side branches to gain stretch, which the chiropractic tech does not allow.

What's goooood my good people Here we have some training talk, this is nothing new, just a video I came across that helped me and might be helpful to some of you, some of you may already be familiar with it. What is this Kushman Chiropractic nonsens? Well, basically it's super cropping, but with less risk of loosing branches and/or damaging the plant and much quicker response times and virtually no recovery time. I've noticed on the forum the hot shit when comes to super cropping is the method of rolling a branch between your fingers slightly pressing down on it untill it subtly lays sideways, but still kinda standing on its own. This has caused me to snap a few branches in the past, having to run over to my medic kit and strap and wire shit back up to save the branch if it doesnt snap and I did it 100% correctly the plant will still take about 12 to sometimes 24hrs to prop all the tops back up facing the light before it can continue with normal growth. Well, here we go, no more of that for me!!! We all know why we supercrop, so I won't go into that, but here is a video on how I found out about Kushmans Chiropractics that goes into quite a bit of detail on why we do it and all that, he also demonstrates his way and I found it to work MUCH better. snapped all my plants in about 30min last night without loosing a single branch. if you just wana check the chiropractics part skip to the 18:50 mark. he does something very very interesting

hahahah it's khalifa kush yeah, speculations say that he was gona go with Klassic Khalifa Kush, but quickly decided against that that last bit isn't true, made up by yours truly
