• Reply to Covering Coco

    Can’t hurt.

    I know the hydro cubes turn into big green algae bombs if you don’t cover them, never seen algae growth in any of my coco?

    I have witnessed some of my pearlite turning green early in veg when the light reaches the substrate.

    Should help keep moisture in and prevent evaporation from the substrate surface.

    Keep us informed please.

  • I start flushing today.

    Happy flushday everyone.

    So glad everything is going to finish up before temps, potentially, get too high.

    Not known for our scorching summers here in Jockland.

    I use an HPS so i have to be careful, an ambient temp of 20+ will send my tent temp soaring.

    2 weeks to go……

  • Tin foil hat time.

    Has anyone used magnets to enhance plant growth and root health?

    Saw an interesting article on it with microgreens.

    You put a relatively strong magnet, north pole uppermost under your pot.

    I’m thinking about doing an experiment soon.

    • Yeah you could try. But all the science points to it mot working. And if you get better results there’s too many variables with the control. That’s kind of like electro culture. Lots of people swear by it.but you would be better focusing on things that are proven, like microorganisms, fertility, soil structure and organic gardening

    • It won’t hurt to try it. One thing I’d like to try is electrically grounding the soil of potted plants, like just stick a grounding wire into the soil. There are a lot of electric reactions going on with a plant, and they evolved being electrically grounded in the earth so I wonder what difference it might make.

    • If you haven’t please read the secret life of Plants, you will love it. It talks about many things like this and how they affect plant health.

      • Please also do it and share results.

      • I’m looking for some nice Girl Scout Cookies genetics.

        Does anyone have a breeder or seedbank they can recommend?

        My current cultivar is from Barney’s Farm and I’m definitely going to keep a GSC mother, I’d appreciate some feedback before I pull the trigger on some more beans.

        The one i have was a freebie and i don’t think they give their top…

          • Just harvested some GSC from fast buds, and it grew really well and HUGE buds! But autos might not be your thing. I grow outside so in the summer I grow autos to have continual harvest until my photos are ready.

            • Sorry man I don’t do autos.

              Good info though, do fastbuds do any photos?

                Not positive but I think “ILGM” run GSC, get seeds in a week… If a deal is running you can get 5+5 or 10+10. Great warranty, I myself have had seeds not perform…but germination is not 100% for me. Just started again in 2020 in a couple of tents, 40 yrs ago it was in a Phototron, much has improved. 2 of the best resources for me is … Read more
