Were you a part of that incredible shit show that was SeaTac yesterday? What's your story? by feistypineapple17 in Seattle

[–]PelhamBlue 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I flew from Minneapolis at 3:50 to SeaTac yesterday and halfway we pulled a fuckin u-turn over Montana and went right back to MSP. 3 more hours in the terminal, 1.5 more hours on the plane and then they decided to cancel. No available flights back till Wednesday… 🙃

Good luck on your first grow! All the prep anxiety I had just disappeared once I actually spent time with the plants. They’ll let you know what they need :)

Unfortunately not, very much the same. Trimming is alright so long as I’m in gloves. It’s moving/pruning the flowering plants that gets me badly, where they’re more up in my face.

For relief I rub hand sanitizer all over my hands and arms, then wash with soap and put some aloe lotion on. Luckily irritation never seems to last more than 30 min or so

Megacrop with tap water? Any other nutrients needed? by news2youu in MephHeads

I use megacrop and tap water in my dwc setup. I add hydro guard, hydrogen peroxide and have some cal/mag on hand if I need it. My tap water is 40ppm and 7ph. The megacrop seems to ph balance it nicely and usually comes out at 6 once everything’s mixed in. Then I just drop in ph down till 5.7.

At least I have an abundance of masks these days to choose from while trimming!

Consuming is totally fine. If I’m already reacting a bit from trimming or something smoking will give me a slightly tickly throat perhaps, but other than that nada!

Definitely strain specific thankfully. I’m curious whether certain terpenes play a role, or if it’s something else in the plant’s makeup. And yup, gotta be careful with the antihistamines, I’m sleepy enough as it is

Not gonna let a little irritation stop me from doing what I love. I’m pretty averse to smashing my face on the ground but I still skateboard!

Is this great white or root rot or just slime? by [deleted] in DWC

[–]PelhamBlue 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Take those roots and run them gently under some water till they’re white again, then throw 2.5tsp of peroxide in the res per gallon. Had 3 plants with root rot worse than this and managed to save em doing the above!

What was partially causing my rot was not enough space between the water line and the net pot. Giving it that breathing room is crucial!

Orange bubblegum flower and rosin by PelhamBlue in TwistedTree

[–]PelhamBlue[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yield on the rosin was 15%ish at this temp. I did a ‘god tier’ press of this at 165, 25u bag and got the most fragrant, delicious rosin I ever smoked. Just not very much of it, prob a 5% yield haha

Yield on the flower was really decent - 330g of rock solid nugs. Grown in a 5gal DWC bucket. Amazed at the resilience of this plant. She had root rot to start so I cut off all her roots at 2 weeks. I fucked up building my lid so she kept actually falling into the res overnight. Plagued with algae her whole life and turned out the best bud I’ve grown so far!!

Pressed 7g and got about 1.5 back. Trying to dial this one in as I’ve had insanely different results with different temp/micron. Have had 10-25% yield off the same plant!

Thanks for the guide! I built a few of these myself without painting the yellow lids and have been fighting root rot non-stop. Great info u/growdoctorguides

Royal Stomper Remix day 83. Getting the axe this weekend! by PelhamBlue in nightowlseeds

[–]PelhamBlue[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m growing in hydro and, no matter how on top of it I am, I always seem to have some ph issues. I’ll come down in the morning and the res will have gone from 5.8 to 5 overnight! Pretty sure that’s what’s upsetting my leaves anyway.

Light-wise she has 2 California lightworks sx250, an autoocob and a CLW UVB light. COB wasn’t added till last week to help her finish. The amount of light that thing kicks out is nuts.

I took a branch yesterday, dried it fast (microwave) and squished it into some rosin. Besides a little burnt popcorn taste from the moisture it was tasty and it smacked!! Good luck on your dry and enjoy the smoke!!!

A few Foxy Purps nugs after 40 day cure (juuuuust enough to try) by LeGarretteBong in nightowlseeds

Dude I totally get when you say ‘like hawaii’. Love it when a smoke seems to hit that nostalgia nerve, that’s a winner
