For any low tech members, an easy way to remove all info from a pic is open the pic, copy, open MS Paint, paste, save as what ever you like, info is gone on this copied picture...

haha well I don't own other shoes so...

Yea it rained enough to fill my watering bucket nearly to the top...

I started learning about AACT mainly from this guy who made this book who is a weed grower that started contributing knowledge on Overgrow and ICmag forums in the early 2000s. And I have some experience in making and testing over the years. I found that when making AACT you want to mainly make food that the fungus and bacteria in your medium can consume live or dead. I don't care too much about AACT giving fungal benefits to my soil, I can get the fungal component by using mushroom compost and other organic ammendments that fungus likes to eat. In AACT you wont be able to multiply fungal count very easily - only grow existing count to larger mass... it just seems way better for multiplying bacteria. Short brew seems way better than extended brew. Waiting for a large amount of foam seems like bro science and I'm happy with a thin film of activity. I like to inoculate with worm castings in a stocking. Using indigenous microbes cultured from a place in the garden or a forest floor seems more risky to me so I stick with worm castings. I add a tiny bit of black strap molasses or sometimes Biobizz grow product which is basically fermented sugar beets and molasses. Benefits include competing for space on the plant surfaces when you foliar spray, edging out pathogens like powdery mildew. It also accelerates the speed at which the microbes break down the organic material into chelates that the roots can uptake. Key tips: Don't brew for too long, pH test your brew at beginning and don't let it rise too much before you use it. Ambient temperatures can speed up the process.

Thanks, that's really interesting!

Yea #3 has solid power and taste to combine with her looks. But the #6 has the best taste and quality of high, as well as a bit more yield than the #3. For my seed line I'm thinking of doing a F2BX onto the #3 since she looks so pretty I think the growers would appreciate her as the mother plant using males with 50% of her genetics. I'm trying to isolate good outdoor qualities as well and the #3 has the best resistance to mildew and bud rot so that counts for a lot in my books.

Sorry I didn't update this thread earlier but the plants are done a few weeks ago #2 #3 #6

Problems to try identify: 1. pH of the water or water+nutes is within 5.8 - 6.8 (ideal around 6.4 for soil), and run off is similar. 2. Three days after watering the bottom of the pots is dry. If this is the case then your mix is not holding too much water. 3. You are providing all the nutrients required. You have a good compost or earth worm castings for organic or you are using bottled salt nutrients that cover all the nutrient requirements. 4. Temperature is within 18C - 30C. 5. VPD is within limits, if you don't know what VPD is then google please. 6. You have no known pests in the area. Broad mites and other microscopic pests are sometimes a problem on stalled plants. Each type of infestation leaves tell tale signs. 17 days after sprouting you should have a plant around 15 - 20cm high unless there are problems.

For me in the past a single or double CMH fixture has been great and gives a nice colour light. HPS and MH separate lights next to each other has worked for me too but the MH does add a lot of leaf. The blue light is important for the stronger stems compared to HPS alone. I have not tried all the very recent LED stuff and from my friends who design their own LED boards they say its working out great and much better for a hot climate to cool an indoor area. My friends LED flower area for example.

break a leg my dude!

Nice, are you going to press that hash into rosin?

The plants that I post and say DJ's mother plants are referring to his breeding mothers, not just a selection from the seed line. I try to note it clearly as dj mother, as not to confuse, because I do hold a few of my own dj gear mother selections from his seeds, and my own f2's and f6's.Dj mothers I hold currently are:BlueberryFloBlue MoonshineNewberryand I have a couple other possible mothers from the f4 r and d he did recently. Fx3 looks pretty interesting to me. Ill get some more pics up of them, but for now I still have the originals from dj's room. - From the guys mouth
