OK, :lol: so i went to a few stores in search of some distilled water and in my stoned state i have come home to find i have bought 15 litres of de-ionized water! :-P
I've tested the PH of the water and its reading 5.8 so thats a good start.. :mrgreen:
is this water ok to give to my plants?
Mite be a silly question but i don't wanna harm my girls.. :mrgreen:

:peace:

thought id drop by for another peek and ur lookin good m8, the discoloured leaves, the 1 i grew did the same but i put it down to nute burn n the fact im a tool, is there such a thing as genetic deficiency? ,been lookin at my grow pics and your tich production is well ahead of what mine was at same time into flower. think the water is the same as distilled just made in a different way maybe, cant wait to se what u yeild from these girls defo leave in the dark for a few days before harvest i did and there was a difference not huge tho, best of luck!!!!!

Deionized water has no salt but can still contain bacteria and such,I'd probably use it if I had to though.

Thanks man.. :joint:
I can't believe the rate the trichs are forming, its insane! :mrgreen:
my last grow the trichs weren't even this heavy when i cut, let alone at 40 days! :lol:
:weed: gotta love it.. :eyesmoke:
its down to salt build up from the nutrients, gotta flush it away or it stops the plant taking up nutes.. pretty sure that sums it up.. :mrgreen:

Can't wait till weigh day! :lol: :bigjoint:

:peace:

Yea its all i could get in the short time.. but atleast i will learn in future... get my water supply in bigger quantities before it either runs out or freezes! :lol:

But I come also as a bearer of good news :eyesmoke:
i've melted down 12 litres of fresh snow :mrgreen: and will be giving this to the lady on the right tomorow once i adjust the PH.. so atleast she will be flushed good and propa' with nice fresh water and the other will have to have the deionized water for this time...hope she does ok..

:peace:

Lots of nice bud pics, just look at the trichs forming on the leaves! :mrgreen:

:peace:

+rep for the smartest stoner idea ever lol, melting snow never crossed my mind once for some reason

Nice one man... :joint:
I done it last time it snowed but it took ages..:lol:
This 12 litres i melted yesterday took me all day!
My heating broke so ive been using the kettle and electric heater.. took me like a good 4 hours or so, geting the ph right and everything, i found the best way is to always leave about a litre or two of warmed up melted snow in the bucket or what have you and the snow melts alot faster.. :mrgreen:
I read somewhere that says its the best stuff to flush with.. :bigjoint:

:peace:

6 weeks old today! :mrgreen:
Hoping to take dem to 10 or 11 weeks but who knows.. early days yet still..

Things are good since yesterdays flushing, should i give em' the normal week seven dose of nutes on the next feed or should i lower it slightly?
The tops are getting fat! but the lady on the left isn't producing as much resin yet but i'm hoping its should take off in a few days like the other one did in.. :mrgreen:

:weed: More bud porn....................

:peace:

Any ideas on how i can get the smell down...the girls are really strating to pong and its too much for my carbon filter to handle.. :mrgreen:
Ive got lavender sprays (nothing gets sprayed in the grow room) which are strong and scented candles around here and there, a window is a jar in the grow room for fresh air etc.. and i've got a flannel with vicks on it on the radiator! :eyesmoke:
its not enough.......
if i was to get another ex. fan and carbon filter and run it in the grow room but not inside the tent, that should work right?...
So the air coming out of the tent is being filtered and then coming out into the grow room where another fan awaits to suck up and filter that air and then dumping it through the window... :mrgreen:
any opinions?

:peace:

have you seen the DIY ONA buckets for odor control in the DIY threads? - just stick a fan on top of a bucket blowing down into the bucket, drill holes in the bucket around the sides (around the upper part of the bucket), put some of the ONA Gel mixed with water - some people throw in some of those water absorbing crystals which prolongs the life of the mixture - put in to the bottom of the bucket and that helps alot apparently - you would put that into the room just outside of your tent to filter the carbon filtered air before it went outside.
Or try making one of the DIY carbon filters and sticking that onto your ducting once it is out of your tent? just a thought - since i have looked into odor control i have read allsorts mate.

Good luck, im really keen to see what you come up with cos i will probably follow suit!! Its ace having someone who is doing the same as me but is further ahead as i can really learn from your experiences.

I second that ionizer idea. I have a GH BB grow goin on and I have a bathroom sized ionizer in the closet where she is kept. Still has a slight odor, but its easily masked by an plug-in defuser down the hall.

Anyway, I wanted to ask (forgive me if I skipped over this information somehow)... How tall were they when you began to flower compared to now at 6 weeks? Just wondering what to expect in the comming weeks as far as room goes
