I should have went with the pig whistle. Its a beast in a 2 litre pot.

Here are the 2 skeleton cookies. Flood and drain is dirty but i ran out of time so i will start hand watering them. The contestants want to die. The one not in the contest thrives. lol.


I cant fit in the phrase of the week. But these are the weekly pics for this week (Jan 2)

And the Pig Whistle. Growing better than the one in the bubble bucket.

Added---the other skeleton cookies. It was not looking the greatest, i up potted it to a 4 gallon and that thing is 3 feet tall and setting buds everywhere.

If they fail....its not my beans its my exhuberance. ! or peroxide flush or more calmag...or less P or K...lol.

Flower is when things get right !....the size of a plant in veg...i used to think that indicated the future.

And pot size.

Genetics...genetics...genetics...that is what makes plants big.

LOL try and keep a real glue plant short. I bet you cant !...it is why i LOVE purple primate. a 3 foot glue plant !

Ok back to the contest. Vape rips of hash make one ponder....or the garden is ponderous...something is going on

All y'all got all these big ass beauty plants and my 5 haven't even shown me their private parts yet. Lol
Starting to get the tell tale parts but not developed enough for my eyes to tell yet.
My daughter goes back to her mom's on Monday so I'll pull em out then for a good look see again.
Haha, mine atm aren't even contenders against any of y'alls plants. Lmfao.
Well except @SSGrower, I'm gonna kick his plants asses. Rofl. 🤔😉😂😂😂
It's my only chance to not be last. Ahahahahahaha
pHfft.
Meanwhile back at the ranch.

Two on right are probably boys, switched to 19/5 about 10 days ago from 24/0 and have had to run heater but they are getting too much intensity (more than they can handle with the pH issues) so I also added a 2nd layer of lexan.

Getting a sense high pH might (or dramatic swings in pH) be related to "bud on a leaf" but curious of the opinions y'all hold.

The few I popped this summer looked normal and have not had reports of mutants from it or the other crosses in the chuck.

What does your ph sit at for the water and the soil?
It looks like a myriad of defs to me, imho. To me that says ph issues or lockout of some sort. Ph being the most likely culprit imho.
I've dealt with the same looking issues before, quite a few times lol, and it's just about always come back to ph issues.
In my case alot of it has to do with my water. I get varied ph readings from my tap water, 7.2 to 8.4. Its quite high in cal carbonate in particular being a cause to the high ph.
I know an RO system would solve my dilemma, i just cant bring myself (yet, lol) to be ok with the water wastage it produces. Lmfao.
Haven't checked the soil but have seen water high as 9 then at one point a few weeks back, I checked some that I had balanced to 6.9 and it was sitting at like 4.2. So basically they got 9ish for germination and up untill a few weeks ago anywhere from 7 down to 4 I guess. Been giving them water out of the ro tap (under sink household system most likely gonna abandon raw well water.
Mostly what I find interisting is the way what should be fan leafs appear to be shooting out growth nodes, I'll see if I can get a better pic.

You've got irradiated well water causing X men type mutations. Lmfao.
I'd ph their water to like a 6.3 and see what it does for the soil reading.
They are all the same plant or no?
Yes, I do. There is a radon mitigation system that the raw well water tap bypasses. Watch out boys and girls, you had to know there was a reason I aint scared off with plants looking like they are.

It is very difficult to change the pH of soil and watering with low ppm pHd water wont do it. There are many more ppm in the soil than the water, to change pH in soil there are two ways I am aware of, 1 chemical reaction (like sulfur breaking down or being broken down by worms to form H2SO4 thus lowering pH), and 2 displacement, i.e. mixing in a different pH media. Chemical reaction takes time and displacement is not a permanent solution. I am ok with a pH 7, though not sure I trust the meter.

No doubt. Thanks bro. Excited to smoke that one for sure. Bred by @SCJedi

So this big Hawaiian puff looks like it’s the one.. wait do we have to decide now? I have a basterd around that.. f@ck this is hard

Have you grown the Hawaiian puff before? I'm looking for a nice uppey sat to run in my greenhouse this spring.

And nice work fellas I'm following along silently. Maybe some day I'll play along.

A few summers ago to drop my soil ph I was taking elemental sulfur and mixing it in hot water, grind up any chunks.
About a cup per 5 gallons of water. Mix it up good into a slurry, let it cool off, re mix again vheck ph and do a test watering. Check ph of soil after. At next water keep doing the same til the ph gets close to where you want. Full effect takes up to a few months, but an immediate slow drop of the soil ph will start to happen.
Worked for me and my outdoor plants, took about a month for a full point drop to slowly occur.
I went looking for some bulk sulfur last year at the bulk fert plant. They looked at me odd and asked what for. Said my spuds get scabby and wanted to drop the ph of my garden soil. They said they would call me back.
Week later they call me back and say yep they have it. WTF now if I was asking for carbon and salt peter I could se why LOL

I have sulfur in my mix which is why I'm not sure I trust the meter. Also got off phone with blue lab yesterday and they said there is about 18 months worth of reference solution in their pens, mine is 4+years old.
