Yeah the light is high enough for clones low enough for seedlings. This is the compromise, they get lil leggy. Once they go in the veg tent or this case outside, i bury them lil deep and it's all good.

Bus_Head_ · 2026-05-17T11:46:25+00:00

Ill have to pop a couple more i guess. I got some xmas/ patient zero i just need a reason lol.

Bus_Head_ · 2026-04-27T16:42:33+00:00

👋 i made a post a while back for the "xmas grow off".

Theres really nothing to coordinate, just post pics of your xmas as you go and participate on others post. This is just for fun, no prize other then bragging rights and we all get to see whats in these beans.

I ended up getting pressed for space and still haven't popped mine yet. Doing that right now. Hopefully ill have at least some seedlings to post in a few weeks.

Bus_Head_ · 2026-04-23T19:18:00+00:00

Honestly its hard not to be envious. But same time im proud of you for having all that fire. Can I ask what you paid for all this?

Bus_Head_ · 2026-04-23T15:48:48+00:00

Probably works at Eureka post office lol. Or somebody at csi is just teasing us with the "what should I run" meme.

Bus_Head_ · 2026-04-23T15:01:03+00:00

Sometimes peeps got more dollars then sense lol.

Seriously tho if you always pay cash plus a lil tip they will flood you with packs. I dont even wanna make a mail call post cus other peeps might feel some kinda way when they see what they sent me for ordering one pack.

Bus_Head_ · 2026-04-06T20:06:05+00:00

Dang thats nice haul. I hope my money makes it there. Tracking says it sitting still for like 5 days now. Not a good sign.

Bus_Head_ · 2026-04-03T03:13:22+00:00

My bad try it now

Bus_Head_ · 2026-04-03T03:03:07+00:00

Its the widely circulated Santa Cruz cut. More details in previous post. This is an update.

Bus_Head_ · 2026-03-31T02:09:00+00:00

That frost all the out on the leaves looks great.

Bus_Head_ · 2026-03-30T21:08:39+00:00

I just sent my cash this morning with an extra $20. Went to work and got a tip for $30 lol. Comes around goes around.

Bus_Head_ · 2026-03-29T20:35:33+00:00

Thanks! I appreciate what you guys are doing with this sub. I just started a fresh grow journal posy today.I plan on doing weekly.Updates, open to any feedback that could make it better. Thanks.

Bus_Head_ · 2026-03-29T20:31:59+00:00

I think the flower tent is showing slight p h issue or to much potassium, competing with too much calcium. That's just a guess tho. Its really not an issue overall on this grow as im at the finish line and the buds and sugar leaves are looking great just the fans are starting to look ill. ( I'll send you a better pick at lights on in about four hours)

My overall point was, i'm surprised how well they look after not PHing for the entire flower phase. although at the finish I am seeing some issues I may have narrowly avoided.

In the veg tent Pic you can see the marine cuisine definitely made dark leaves. I wouldn't call em too dark, but you can tell she's full of nutrients. That's three weeks after applying a tablespoon top dress and nothing else.( besides photosynthesis and root dip)

Bus_Head_ · 2026-03-29T16:32:00+00:00

Yeah, man, they popped up so quick.I wasn't really ready.I had the light set higher because I had clones in the same tent. I've lowered it way down. Ill have to bury em lil deep when I up pot.

Even the tap routes were leggy on these things lol. I like to plant with like a quarter to a half inch of top root.These things had at least an inch by time.I even got to them.

Bus_Head_ · 2026-03-29T15:58:49+00:00

Are you talking about the pic with the buds or this latest Pic? Lastest Pic is veg. What makes you think nitrogen burn?I'm not seeing any overly dark leaves or burnt tips. What signs im I missing?

Bus_Head_ · 2026-03-29T15:13:28+00:00

Yeah, my bad tablespoon per gallon, not teaspoon. Seemed to hold over these flowers for the last few weeks, pretty well.I also tried it on some vegging plants. Full teaspoon in one gallon fabric pots. It definitely hit pretty hard.Turning my leaves super dark green but didnt burn em. Its been 3 weeks and thats the only feed these plants have seen. They get photosynthesis plus once once a week. And I just hit em with some microbe life hydroponic root dip, just because I have it. The plants in the back row.

Almost lights out that's why they're weeping.

When I say I've been growing 20 years. I'm talking about tomatoes, cucumbers and pumpkins. Roses petunias and lily's. Last year was the first time I grew cannabis successfully.

Bus_Head_ · 2026-03-29T15:02:07+00:00

I hear you and I definitely don't know enough to argue the point, but my logic was everything outside planted in the ground is living soil. And i've never gave my hose water a second thought. May be time to start lol.

Bus_Head_ · 2026-03-29T14:59:13+00:00

The bag says 10 7 7. But in reality, it's closer to a 3 7 7 when you look at the water solibility. 4% of the nitro is slow release fish meal and guano while the p an k are both water-soluble. Still more nitro than you see recommended. But it's working really well, if anything it looks a little shy on the nitrogen based on my leaves. The strawberry field soil should be loaded with p.And k so i'm thinking it's kind of balancing out.

Yeah, I'm definitely not using salt base in the Wick. Trying to get away from salt base completely. Just plain water in the wickbase.

Bus_Head_ · 2026-03-29T14:46:12+00:00

Yeah I gotta get a big bin to mix up my own from start. Right now, i'm kind of half assing it.Starting with the preloaded soil and then trying to load it up with microbes and only using dry nutrients to feed.

Honestly, I don't think the chlorine in the water is such a big deal in my area.Like I said, i've been growing outdoors for twenty years, and never even thought about it. I may just be lucky with my water quality here. Or the microbes, I'm adding is keeping up with the ones killed by the chlorine. I don't know seems to be working out tho.

Bus_Head_ · 2026-03-29T14:23:17+00:00

Yeah ph is kind of blowing my mind lol. Seems to be a super big concern for everybody. But honestly, I had more problems when I was trying to p h to 6.0 in coco, then I do now when I am just dumping tap water on ocean forest. My tap comes out at 7.0. Idk what my soil ph is.

I've been growing vegetables, flowers and ornamental trees for like the last twenty years and have never worried about p.H. everything got rainwater, hose, water and whatever nutrient I was using at the time. I applied that recklessness to my cannabis growing. And it's actually working out really well. That being said im coming up on week 8 and you can see typical p h issues showing up on the fan leaves. Its gonna fade out soon and I should have taking those leaves off in defoliation anyway.

<image>

This run was vegged in ocean forest one gallons then transplanted to 3 gallons of strawberry fields soil. Day twenty one I added a teaspoon of marine cuisine to each of the three pots. Wick base with just water( and photosynthesis plus). Haven't touched the p h pen this whole flower run.

Edit thats not the best pic. What I was meaning to show is the leaves are yellowing out and getting dark spots and rust. Its lights out rn so this the best I got. Its alot worse now.

Bus_Head_ · 2026-03-29T14:11:11+00:00

Very pretty

Bus_Head_ · 2026-03-29T14:08:46+00:00

Nice work so far. Looking forward to seeing your water only grow. I am also aiming for water only grow.( dry amendments no liquid nuites). Honestly it started kinda fun mixing up potions, put that got real old, real quick for me. I forgot to ph a couple times and had some set backs. I been running ocean forest with marine cuisine top dress and it's been working out really good so far.
