I germed a couple of seeds on Monday, the strains are Strawberry Banana from DNA genetics and Aventus OG from cannaventure genetics.

Strawberry Banana popped her head out the rockwool cube yesterday and is looking good so far, the Aventus OG popped her head out the rockwool cube about an hour ago so just waiting for her stem to stabilise and for the taproot to come out the bottom of the rockwool cube before I fill the pot with clay pebbles.

I'll have to keep an eye on your grow to see how that Strawberry does. A buddy crossed that one with Violator Kush and gave me a bud to try that had 3 seeds in it I haven't sprouted yet. I prefer to do at least 5 of a new regular strain to pick out the best and maybe breed some more seeds if I find a nice male or two. I haven't managed to get hold of him in months but when I do I'll get some more beans off him and do a decent run.

Good luck with yours!

Thanks for looking in! I will try to do it justice and hopefully I get a good pheno, that's the issue with growing in a small space, unfortunately I get what I get as I cant pheno hunt.

Those must be fems are they?

What are you using for nutes and water? I've done a lot of DWC since '01 but have been playing in the dirt the last few years. Might get back into DWC big time just to stock up faster in case we move in a year or two. I always used AN nutes and RO water.

Yeah I only grow fems, I'm in the UK so you probably haven't come across the nutes I use but there called Shogun, i use tap water which is 0.4 EC so pretty hard but i haven't had any issues with it on previous grows, I also use a sprinkle of pure vitamin C powder (Ascorbic Acid) which gets rid of the Chlorine and Chloromines in the water in about 20 mins

There are such low levels of chlorine or chloramine in the water that it's not really a concern. Some guys use pool shock to keep their hydro sterile but I always used food grade peroxide until I built a chiller out of an old water cooler then didn't use anything.

Have you ever got a copy of your water report from your supplier? Good to know what all you have in your water and it should be free and can probably be emailed to you. Likely high in Mg and Ca so you shouldn't need CalMag or very little.

I just looked up those nutes and they got lots of different stuff. Which are you using in particular?

I've got some fem seeds now and will be using STS to reverse sex on some to make more fem seeds. I'm way up in northern Alberta and going to be planting some fem autos outdoors this spring to see how they do. Should be interesting and hopefully productive. just have to wait for those 120cm snow drifts to melt first. Woke up to -22C this morning. Brrr... :) Was + 7 two days ago.

I think I can go online and find the water report, I usually just use half strength calmag all the way from week 3 to harvest, only reason I'm concerned about the Chlorine is because I run bennies (hydroguard and I have a sample of Tribus which I will be trying out) and apparently the chlorine kills the bacteria or so I've heard!

I just use the shogun root stim, hard water hydrogrow A & B, silicon, calmag and hard water hydrobloom A and B, I dont bother with the rest of it but I do use PK 13/14 for a week or 2 to get the buds firmed up.

Not tried sterile yet as luckily haven't ran into root rot problems yet!

I also havent needed a chiller yet either as my buckets and lines are all doubled up, so black on the inside to keep everything dark and cool and white on the outside to reflect the light, here is a link to the tubing I use so you can see what I mean but I think you can only get it in UK/Europe

If youre in the us, switch to southern ag garden friendly fungicide after that bottle of hydroguard is gone. same bacteria wayyy more concentrated.
I use 1/4ml per gallon instead of 5ml per gal of hydroguard and they cost the same per liter.

I wish bro! It was hard finding Hydroguard in the UK! Only 1 supplier! I was stuck using Cannazym my first couple of grows which wasn't ideal

I wonder if they sell that here in Canukistan. I'll have to check it out.

There should be no more than 4 - 5ppm of either in your water so not enough to make a dent in an established beneficial bacteria colony. I seem to have heard that Vit. C can help get rid of chlorine but not so sure about the chloramine. Just bubbling air overnight will get rid of the chlorine but not the other.

Chloramines are actually produced when chlorine reacts with organic matter and is the thing that makes your eyes go red when swimming in chlorinated water. Were it fresh, unused pool water with a fresh dose of chlorine it wouldn't bother your eyes at all. Pools hardly ever get drained and refilled so there is a buildup of chloramines over time from all the unwashed, sweaty bodies splashing around in it all summer in a public pool. Not to mention all the urine mixed in that adds lots of ammonia but that's a different story. :)

When do you start feeding the P/K? Through extensive testing I've found that adding some bud booster a week before flipping to 12/12 gets more bud sites and bigger buds faster. I've used Big Bud by AN since it was invented and have no problem paying $75 for a 500g can of the powdered stuff. Has a much longer shelf life than the pre-mixed and I run out of it about the same time I run out of the gallon jugs of the 3-part base nutes and that takes 4-5 years.

Other than those I just get the Rhino Skin by AN for the silica and that it works better with the pH Perfect aspect of the nutes so I don't bother adjusting the pH after adding it to the water. Have to adjust if using other types of potassium silicate or it goes up to pH 10+ and should always be added to the water first then adjusted down to 7 or so before adding other nutes.

Most nutes tend to lower pH so dialing in your pH should be left until everything is added then waiting a good hour at least for everything to finish reacting and the pH is stable. I have an airstone bubbling in the jug I'm mixing my nutes in until I'm ready to water the plants. I'm usually mixing 8L at least. I keep a 20L jug of RO water topped up on a stool so it's not sitting on the cold cement floor with a small stone bubbling for at least an hour before use so it's charged with oxygen. For my potted plants I also have a 50W aquarium heater in there so the water is a nice 77F as the bioherd in the pots doesn't like to get shocked by cold water and they prefer a warmer environment. The heater has it's own thermostat and I have one of those wine fermenter stick-on thermometers on the side of the jug. I've noticed a definite improvement in the plant's growth since adding the heater. Using AN nutes I never check the pH and after testing don't bother using MegaCrop nutes either. With RO it comes out to pH 6.0. With my dugout tap water that is pH 8+ and 400+ppm it comes out at pH 6.5 so must have decent buffering capability. Pretty good nutes if you want to keep things simple but I've never used them in DWC. Yet. ;)

Those lines look pretty good but only in 1M lengths is odd. I'd just wrap any exposed lines with aluminum tape if they were close to the lights but most are too far away to worry about radiant heat warming them up. I used clear lines to move nutes through my chiller and they got a green film inside after 4 months that I cleaned out with peroxide. I'll wrap them before my next use but they cleaned up nice.

Yeah sucks man but with Brexit etc maybe we will get a trade agreement with the US and we will get more free trade
You ain't going to get nothing but grief in any trade deal with the US. They will force all sorts of crap down your throats on promises they won't keep. They f'ed us good with NAFTA and just today our Prime Minister signed off on Trump's new NAFTA that gets us worse off by Bum Fu**ing us now. With Trump and Boris you are truly screwed up the back door!

I'm of Scots origin myself so I say if it ain't Scottish, it's CRAP! lol Never shagged a sheep either. ;)

I cant work out how to quote just a small section of your text to reply to it????

In regards to the Vit C with Chlorine and Chlorimines, I just read something online so started using it, also for me it's a bonus as I am apartment growing so I just dont have the room to have buckets sitting out bubbling away etc, I bought a KG bag for £8 which has lasted 3 years already with loads left, hopefully in the future I can afford to sell this apartment and buy a house but London is damn expensive so I am lucky just to be on the property ladder at all!


Interesting point you make about the bud booster as on my first grow I grew out a couple of autoflowers and had no idea what I was doing and I bought the Canna Aqua range of nutes, anyway by mistake I started feeding them Canna boost after about 3 weeks all the way to harvest and i have never had as many bud sites, top to bottom on every branch so i think you might be onto something there!

I wish I could bubble up my nutes before adding to the res as PH would definitely be more stable but i have realised that in my setup i need to set the PH of the nute solution 0.6 lower then what i am aiming for when mixing nutes, i assume that's the oxygen in the water from the airstones which makes it rise???

I have some mega crop actually but havent got round to trying it out yet, I am just concerned about putting powdered nutes in my res as dont want anything in there that can potentially block my airstones so is it 100% soluble?? Oh and that tubing you can buy in rolls and just cut off whatever length you need, I just posted the link to the 1m lengths to show you what I was using.

Yeah with the Silicon I use (not sure why its called this and not silica but I believe there the same thing??) I have to adjust my water ph below 7 first before adding and always add this first before any other nute otherwise it curdles in the water and doesnt mix in at all but it's good stuff and makes the stems pliable for training although I suck at training lol - this is where I need to up my game!

Oh yeah we are in a world of trouble with BoJo and Trump in charge!

Also over hear we call the Welsh sheep shaggers and the Scots we call sweaty jocks lol

Then I'm really offended as my father's name results from a baby left at a northern Wales church of the same name about 8 generations prior to his birth. I am a bastard son of many bastards and have begat many bastards of my own that have begat more bastards to continue our bastardlike corona virus of bastardization of the planet! LOL

I'm a red-headed bastard son of many bastard sons and damn proud of it! I'll never know my birth father as my birth mother died 6 months before I made contact with my birth family and none of my 5 half-siblings want to establish any real contact. Mom took my birth and my birth father's name to her grave so they were freaked out when big brother showed up out of the blue. Sorry 'bout that but how was I to know. Old Scottish lady that her pic looks like my da's mom and she was an uptight lady my mom didn't like sitting me when they went out. Yank my hand out of my diaper and slap it hard telling me I'd go to hell playing with that thing. lol

My adoptive mom is Swiss and very liberal where dad was pure Scot and uptight as hell. Great man tho and I miss him still. So does mom. Mom will be 93 in Aug. She's freaking out now as my first little sister is on her death bed and I'm not feeling so good about it myself. I'm 20 hours away and glad that little sister #2 lives with mom and can help. I'd race out there but saw Bev in Dec and my wife is dealing with liver cancer so kind of need to be here too. I've been an evil bastard most of my life so why isn't it all heaped on me so I can get the fug out of here. I could go.

How I can carry on eh. ;)

I know I am after decades of growing so try that and observe so you see for yourself. I see so many so called 'experts' say wait 'til the end of week 3 and it makes no sense to me. Right after the flip or when autos start to flower the plants go into overdrive and can use more of all nutes, extra light and lots of extra CO2. Right after the stretch stops their feeding slows down and so does the demand for light and CO2. I dose bloom nutes early to 'prime the pump' so they have all they need for that important growth spurt during the stretch while they set bud sites. Start the Boost before flipping and see how you like it. I used to do daily averages of what my DWC plants ate and was amazed how the ppm could drop 4x as fast once stretch started. Then dropped off to veg levels right after.

Hitting the plants with the right nute levels of the proper types at the right time can really make a big difference. Or go all organic and let the plants take what they want when they want it if it's all there to take when they need it. Talk about timing details and uncertainty!

I got nothing against organic growing and have seen many grows that blow me out of the water but don't do well in the dirt so stick to soilless or DWC with hydro nutes for the most part.

Just weighed up the dried bud I got off my Hindu Kush Scrog and it's 3.7 oz with over 2 oz of dried sugar leaf and popcorn bud so better than I thought. Still another half oz or so to be cropped yet if I bother while waiting for her to re-veg. The last is going fresh into the freezer for later processing into oil for my wife's meds. Everything I have is going to her meds other than the hi-CBD stuff that is for me for my arthritis. Between me and her we have medical permits for 18g/day which translates to 92 plants indoors once legally permitted thru Hellth Canaduh. I think I'm finally going to go legal soon. :)

I'm liking the way the MegaCrop is working with soilless but haven't tried it in DWC yet. It seems to totally dissolve easily so don't see issues with that. I'm sure you could do a search here for feedback or try duck-duck-go for an anonymous search of the web.

I started with pot back in '67 near Vancouver, BC when I was 13. Paranoia is carved deep into my being and our new 'legality' does nothing to make me feel more relaxed. Now I can get 14 years in prison for making pot concentrates with 'organic' aka flammable solvents. If a cop says he smells pot in my car he can now legally search me, my passengers and the whole vehicle without warrant. Many other aspects of pot use that were very minor now carry significant jail sentences. This isn't legality, it's Prohibition 2.0!

Got to go man! Wife is calling. ;)

So I officially have 2 viable plants, Aventus OG has stretched out a bit and her taproot was through the bottom of the rockwool cube so i have now filled up the pots with clay pebbles, always feel better once i have the pots filled as the res should now be fully light proof!

I am hoping to have the taproot swimming in the res in the next couple days as they have a direct route straight down with no clay pebbles to get in the way as I cut a hole in the bottom of the net pot and then take a cloning net pot and turn it upside down which I then place the rockwool cube on top of.

That sux but we got new laws here too when pot became 'legal' 14 years in the can for making extracts using flammable solvent. Right to search your vehicle if pot is suspected. A buddy gave me a bunch of empty pot cans as he buys the legal stuff so if I head out with pot I put it in those and stick in the cargo area of my SUV. Like open booze it has to be out of the driver's reach. I haven't been stopped by a cop in at least 15 years so not a huge concern. They can't really do shit with everyone allowed to grow 4 plants at home so how can they bust you if you have black market pot. There is no limit to the amount you are allowed to store at home either unless you have a medical grow license then you have limits. Makes no sense. I have a medical permit but no license to grow yet. My wife got her medical last Oct too so we may file to grow then be legal for 92 plants. Only have 25 going atm. :)

Looks like a pretty good setup but those tiny sprouts look lost in all those hydroton balls. :) If all goes well you won't be able to see those balls any more in a couple weeks. I always grew substantial clones in ProMix then transplanted to the net pots.

Yeah the lawmakers never make anything easy and crystal clear, if it's legal it should be fully legal full stop, they just make shit more complicated then it needs to be!

Wow you can have 92 plants! You got a journal or anything going, would love to tag along with your grow?

Haha, yeah they look tiny surrounded by all those clay pebbles and this part of the grow seems to take an age as they work on establishing the roots! :roll:

I don't have a current grow journal going right now. My last big grow had a dozen plants in ProMix HP and all were either grown from seed or fem cuttings. I took 2 cuttings off each plant to make sure at least 1 survived. They all survived so I've been nursing them along since last June. Pain in the ass for sure but some good genetics in there.

I need to toss both the Dutch Kush and the Ayahusca Purple as they went hermie. This Hindu Kush is rock-solid female after 3 grows and just the best buzz too so will become a star in further grows. Going to spray her with STS to make fem seeds too.

I sure wish my partner was into pot so I had some help and after 40 years of growing I'm not all that enthused about carrying on. If I stopped growing right now I have enough pot to last for 10 years at current consumption levels.

For 50 years I was a pirate, a rebel, a fighter for the cause but now I'm just an old stoner. Who gives a flying fuck it's all on the table now. The real breeders and pot warriors have been cut out of the new regime so corporate bum buddies can scoop in and profit off pot. Now all those big growers are tanking. No one wants their crappy pot and the gov't is freaking out. Thank you Mr. Harper for setting up this fail and thank you too Mr. Trudeau for continuing his corporate rip-off to support your corporate masters. lol

Screw them all. I have not bought pot for the last 30 years at least. If I wasn't growing I knew people who were or my sons did so I always had way more pot than I could use and just gave away any excess. I've always been poor but just would feel really bad in my core if I made profit from any drug sales. I'm a chemist and could easily make meth etc and probably be rich in a year. But my soul would die so where are the profits?

I'm pretty much an athiest but also an ordained minister of the Universal Life Church since Oct. 1978.

I've worked for badass biker dudes and done a lot of shady shit over the last decades but never killed or raped anyone and put myself in harms' way many times helping people trapped in places they need to get out of so I'm pretty sure my karma is fairly balanced. ;)

I'd rather die poor and unknown rather than rich and hated thank you very much.

Who are you? How do you want to be remembered as? Think about it.

:peace:
