My First Growth Journal

Ahh
Good point

Richgro is the brand im usingā€¦ so what was your ppm?

The reason why Iā€™m asking is strangely enough my brand doesnā€™t report any ppm at all. Iā€™m thinking itā€™s just mud.

Just throw whatever amount you want in some water and let me know what ppm you get

The ppm didnā€™t change at all after adding it.
Same as my tap water

Isnt that interestingā€¦ is it supose to.? Im getting a guy to send me some Indonesian quano ( phosphorus ) tomorrow so ill see if that has an effect on ppm

Heā€™s really sending you bat shit from Indonesia. I agree 100% @Skydiver - 2 stages would make it soooo much easier for most stoners. LOL BTW my b day is 11/27- that is when I soaked seeds - I think I actually went into dirt 12/02 our girls are the same age. Donā€™t they grow so fast? LOL

Oh & I flipped February 1stā€¦lol we are right in track to watch together.

Thatā€™s cool @LoCoRock
They are tracking about the same in the cycle.

Here is what I have found on Rock Phosphate @GreenCoat

Seems it is insoluable based on what I read and understood from article and needs to be broken down by the soil critters to become available to the plants so maybe this is why it doesnā€™t add to the ppm reading when in solution?

My best guess anyway

Well itā€™s 2:53pm here with winds sustained at 45-50mph gusts 65 and my power just went out. Lights came on at 1pm. I have a UPS power back up for internet and wireless just nothing for lights lol

Last night I treated for the Rust Fungus using 2 different biological products using one in feed water and the other as a foliar spray. I will update on how effective the treatment is.
Here is the info on the PreStop powder $30 for 100 grams and depending on the strength you want .01% .05% 2% etc I mixed entire package with about 4 gallons water and feed too all plants even new seedlings and clones even though they havenā€™t shown any signs of rust and are in another room.

Then I used the Serenade mixed for foliar spray on all plants as it says itā€™s ok to use up until the day of harvest for fruiting plants where the PreStop specifies not to use foliar with fruits on plants.

I opens up one end of the tent closest to the basement window and removed the cardboard covering the window and got some natural light - not much but some and I cranked up the buddy propane heater.
Well the light came back on after about 45 minutes or so and reset everything that needed to be ā€¦ humidifiers, fans etc.

While checking my plants I saw this on the Waikiki Queenā€¦Hmm any thoughts on the balls?

Those are a set of balls my friendā€¦you got seeds.

No way
Seriously :flushed:
They were feminized seeds.

They look like swollen bracts. Donā€™t really look like pollen sacs

Thanks @BobbyDigital I hope your correct!

Hopefully Iā€™m wrong & itā€™s not hermā€™d, but if so maybe itā€™ll just stick to that branch/area B4 time.

They could very well could be harboring pollen sacs inside of them. As far as I can tell, there are no pistols coming out of them. Maybe clip them off just in case.

Thanks for the input @BobbyDigital

I just read an article instructing to use tweezersā€¦remove one and open to see if seed insideā€¦will try that and keep an eye :eye: on it.
Wait a minuteā€¦does that make sense?
This is from articleā€¦

HOW TO TELL THAT A FEMALE PLANT HAS BEEN POLLINATED

Among the early signs that your female has been pollinated is that her bracts become larger. Bracts are small, leaf-like structures that protect the femaleā€™s reproductive parts. These are the sites from which the flowering buds appear. Do not confuse the bracts with [calyxes]

A good test to see whether the bracts have swollen is to take a pair of tweezers, grab one bract, and open it up. If there is a seed inside, you have a pollinated plant.

Another indication of pollination can be the colour of her pistil hairs. When a female has been pollinated, the previously white hairs will soon shrivel and become darker.

If it is male what about the 2 clones I took from it?
Male too?

Itā€™s definitely not a male as there are female flowers around it. At most it hermied. If there are seeds, it means that is was pollinated at some point.

I see
Not sure how it would have been pollinated as the other 2 plants show no signs of being male and this is my first growā€¦no opportunity to be pollinated that I can figure out anyway

That truly is odd. A plant can only be pollinated if there is pollen present. But I did see a post here a few days back where the plant produced seeds before it was even mature enough to do so. Iā€™ll see if I can find it.
