@Skydiver nice journal youve got going mate. The light setup is very cool.

I have a query in regards to your rock phosphate. Can you run a test for me please? :grin:

Thanks @GreenCoat and @MattyBear for the kind words

So Greencoat what do you have in mind?

So here are some shots from this evening after some more HST, LST and LSD training as well as replacement of my old tie down system of tent stakes in pot all over the place to a nice new (think of the Croquet Wicks? Or whatever they are called where you want your balls to go throughā€¦they are like that only sized and bent to fit from 1/3 to 1/2 of my pot per Wick and I have 2 in each pot and they are working great. It is so easy now to top dress my amendments and easy to slide a branch say 1/2 left or right to adjust for light etcā€¦

Anyway thanks for tuning in and Iā€™ll update things as I go.

Did you know a smaller size paint stirrer they give you when you buy gallons are 12ā€ longā€¦I coudnt find my ruler so I made one from a paint stirrer and dam if it wasnā€™t 1 foot longā€¦except mine is warped as hell so is a little shorter.

In regards to your rock phosphate.

What is the ppm when you add 15g to 1L of water ?

24

Hey is this a trick question?

Sure I will do that for you in a day or 2 and will post.
So my water is around 500 EC (250 ppm using the 500 scale) just in case I donā€™t detail that when I testā€¦

No not a trick question :slightly_smiling_face: Im just curious to see what the PPM is against my rock phosphate. Because my PPM didnt budge so im curious to see if what yours reads.

26

I am about to test the rock phosphate for ppm in 1 liter of my aerated tap water. When you ask for me to add 15 grams is this by weight?
Or did you mean 1 Tablespoon which is 15ml?
Let me know and Iā€™ll post the results.

@GreenCoat

15 grams if you could please. Or whatever really. Whatever you do ill do the same :+1: but i guess by weight would be easier to match

Hello all,

Updating my growing painsā€¦lol and other stuff.
A couple days ago I saw a copper/rust colored spots on several of my leaves and am trying to deal with thisā€¦
Here is the link to the new topic i posted the other day.

I was thinking it was a nutrient issue but it was pointed out that it may be leaf rust and I coated the affected areas of the leaves on the pineapple and WWX with aloe Vera leaf juice. I will keep a close eye on this situation for sure.

On a lighter note:
In my tent with the materials used in making the tent put me in a dead zone for wireless signal. I had an extra router so I set that one up in the next room as a signal booster and now my signal in the tent is strongā€¦yea!

I started a fresh brew of aerated compost tea to water my big and small plants in a day or so. Here is what I use to brew.

Here are some pics of my new seedlings and my clones.

The 2 now in dirt had a great root system but the 2 still in the clone bucket have not been cooperative. One may make it though. I can always soak a couple seeds of the Waikiki Queen as the one I have in flower smells and tastes wonderful and I think Iā€™ll want more.

Here is my collection of organic nutrients that I use by themselves or as a mix either by top dressing the soil or making a tea. I will also be using these to build my own super soil for the future and as amendments to my outside vegetable grows this spring.

Iā€™ll update things soon and thanks for watching, following, commenting and all!
