Well we are splitting this grow 50/50 so I don't need to be the one to suffer from his ignorance. You can't re-invent the fucking wheel, ya know?

yep i hear yah 100%..
Just pull up some information on this site and sit him down and tell him to read. simpliest way to maybe correct his ignorance.

haha rombomb, i know somebody who is the exact same way, i had to bring him my books and show/ read to him the things he was doing wrong. it helped alot but he is still frustrating to work with. the one word i would use to describe him is STUBBORN

all i can say is hopefully he will learn and smarten up, but if not try and get a solo thing going so you can say wow my shit came out fine while your method doesnt look too good. maybe that will inspire him to listen a bit. but if he's anything like my buddy he wont. so goodluck

agreed^

cant stand know it all's. that dont know jackshit about growing.

I think we're moving in the right direction now guys, I had to put some plants to death today despite some haggling about it but I finally got him to agree that there was a big time difference in the male & female flowers. Then I had to show him how to regulate the co2 tank, he thought it was running when nothing was coming out & the PSI was reading at 0...

Ok, so here goes. Bad news first. I was right about the big trainwreck & the first trainwreck being male. The big white widow is also male!! ARRRGGHGHGH! why why!? However, the smallest trainwreck & the smallest WW are female! Why not the big ones!? WTF!? I was wrong about all the indicas being male though, I removed 3 of them & at least 3 are female, some still haven't shown me for sure yet. Their scents are ranging from piney to sickenly skunky sweet. I can't wait to try the different flavors. ALL the diesels are girls! They all smell different but the same, some grapefruitish, some skunky, some sweet, some just weird.

I added my CO2 tank as well, it is currently running at 4 psi from a 120 lb tank. If anyone has any input on this please let me know.

Also, due to a pest problem, I have added two toads to the garden. Any input on this would be appreciated as well. They can't really get into the plants so I figured it wouldn't hurt for them to eat earwigs & flies & shit lol.

Garden before chop: White widow showing balls: Diesel flowers: Garden after chop & rotation: Chopped males I will use for pollenation: Chopped!! : Balls on the big trainwreck: Balls on another trainwreck: Flowers on an indica? : CO2 Tank: More fucking balls: White Widow Balls : Diesel flowers:

The stuff at the bottom that likes to attach itself randomly is more balls, more flowers, the co2 regulator, & finally my friendly toads.

Quick update, my friend is now claiming he got CO2 poisoning after I left. Can anyone give me info on this please? I was running 4 psi out of a 120 lb tank in an unventilated bathroom in a basement. Can co2 rise? I thought it was heavier than oxygen...

from what i know wind can cause the two gases to mix together as theres only a slight difference in density also all gases diffuse throughout a given space. im no scientist and i slept through most of science class so i could be well wrong but i dont see a problem at 4psi how long was it on for before he told you he got poisoned???

4 1/2 hours or so.

I dont think he would have been poisoned? How are the Toads? Theyre much smaller so i think they would be much more sensitive to the co2 levels also theyre in the same room as the canister..

Sorry to hear about the males, I have a feeling my biggest short rider is a male but I'm not for sure yet. Its sucks how the biggest ones always seem to be males..

Its funny you metioned something about the toads, I checked my outdoor plants and there was a toad chillin in the pot lol.. I figured I'd leave him alone.. Anyway I have no idea about the co2 thing but good luck figuring it out!

PH can cause plants to go male, I was getting loads of males from popping seeds, even femenized going male....fuckin blows....

Now, I adjust PH to 6.5 -6.2 cause I am soil. So my nute drip is PH balanced and with my cheese and Lemon Ice batch, I landed 50% female on both, 5 each. Very happy, will now spend money on femenized....I read acidic can make plants go male...I was originally at a 5.8 solution...but thats for hydro...

I just harvested a NYCD, nugs are rock hard, crystally and have nice weight, she actually is colas...very nice producing strain. Good Kief as well. I have 3 more NYCDs flowering now and 2 more waiting to go into flower...I like the strain.

Here is post that turning into a journal on the NYCD and my superskunk https://www.rollitup.org/advanced-marijuana-cultivation/332438-advanced-nutrients-big-bud-powder.html

Enjoy...and HTH.

Thanks for stoppin by. What the heck does HTH mean? lol I actually didn't end up having much of a problem with males. I only removed 6 plants total out of 25. & I haven't checked my ph once & I don't plan on it either unless I see a serious issue pop up.

Sorry for a lack of updates, been out of commission with a sprained back. Look for pic updates/bud porn in the next few days.

The toads lived & have greatly reduced pests in the grow room, so I have to recommend toadage if you have any bugs lol.

good to hear, i bet your friend is fine too? I'll go out to my garden tomorrow and look for some lol. sorry to hear about your back. i cant wait for the new pics.

Ya my friend is fine & most likely full of shit. I wanted to add an HPS lamp but he's also complaining about his electric bill being higher than last year That's most likely because we've been in the 90's like 10 times already this year & it only happened 3 times in my area all of last summer. He doesn't think about shit like that.

Basically he's gonna be gone & I'll be house sitting for two weeks so while he's away I'm gonna hook the co2 back up along with a 250 watt hps lamp. I figure two weeks under those conditions is better than no weeks, right?

hahaha absolutely, im sure the plants will love you for that.

O2 poisoning .lol.is he thinking of monoxide not dioxide..he wouldnt get sick he would pass out!cadonmonoxide he would get sick..and like makatak said how are the toads still alive i bet...your buddy has to stay home for the good of your grow project!dont let him douche ya there looking good and healthy!good growing nice flowers starting there !!!!!ok i just read he gone for 2 weeks ..yes get the co2 up and hps 2 weeks will light them suckers up!!and he will see big improvment and agree with you ...maybe.lol
