:smoke: Howdy! I forgot,... thanks for the Rep' *smeck!* Mz. W'! ...LOL!- and I'm a guy- :ama: -LOL! ... aaaand thanks for the kind words too- :tiphat:..happy to help, though you are getting the 5-star treatment here- LMAO!! ..but you're helping me help yourself, and so I'll keep that Mojo going!.... The Rep' thing, not well explained around here yet,... One gives this to others for any reason they chose: nice grow, good idea, funny shit!, thanks for helping, etc.,... There are limits to how much you can give, how often per day, and to whom you give it; as you log in more and more posts and get more Rep', your max. amount goes up,...I think you can give it 5 times a day(?),... and you must spread it around to others some before give more to the same person...ensuring some degree of fairness and non-abuse!
>> Dinner! Mmmmm-hmmm-hmmmm...
I made a "grape pickers skillet",... take a cast iron pan, layer it with bacon, part in/out, some thyme then a layer of sliced spuds, seasoning (or salad dressing this time), chz, shredded chicken, sliced leeks, more chz, little lemon juice, more spuds, last dash of chz, then fold those bacon slices over the top; cook on stove, med heat for about 10 min., then into the oven @ 400 covered for 1/2hr, remove foil cover for another 20min. or so, until brown and tender!! simple, delish',.. don't expect leftovers!
>>> Gnats/soils} Well, I can't say it happens often,... some companies do take measures to reduce this happening too much,... being bound up in the bag itself would be lethal to adults, or any trying to emerge...sterilizing is done, I assume final amendments like soil' crobes added just before bagging..?... they can find you bag easily after it opened, unless it's inside,... uncanny how fast they show up when I'm working with soil outside,... Plenty of good choices out there for ready soils,... a chat for later if you like...
>> Molasses} grandma's brand tastes the best to me, so I like it for cooking, but Brer Rabbit is actually more plant nutrient rich, so I use this for the ladyzzz....(scope the labels at the store sometime; Brer has more Ca, Mg, and K in it)..... They get a taste weekly at least, unless I needed to use a more conc. supp' to treat a deficiency, then I switch to honey for a carb source for the soil herd,...BUT be sure to stop a good 10 days before harvest,.. (a tip from one of the Masters here)- extra carbs' left in the plant by harvest will make for awful smoke,... here's a link to a sticky about final cleansing vs. flushing:
https://www.autoflower.org/f2/flushing-vs-flushing-12578.html
In fact, if you haven't yet, poke around in the various forums, and check out the very top areas for other great info sticky's like this one,.. they're scattered around, not always in the most logical place, but you'll see'm! That's the jackpot of info here, beyond what's in the threads...
>> glad the dunks worked! No macro-vermin found I gather? goooood,... LOL!
>>> sticky business} :roflcry: can't resist the comic image of you getting all tangled and shmeered with buggy goo!! "
-ahhh! aaaahh!! get it off!! get it OOO
!!" *thrash-flail* 
..not that I blame you in the least! ...like Cleveland says, (Oh,.. that's nast-eh...!) :roflcry: *** good point about the trich's getting fouled with bugs!.. got a pair of needle-tip stamp tweezers for this very thing... in fact, this is part of the plants' defense's- :ama:
>> Gooey stuff} Fish goo is very nice stuff! Not conc. but loaded with other good things,...I don't use it too often either, more as a first feedings nute' before switching to more conc. stuff, which one does by starting them @ about 1/4 strength, them ramp it up a bit from there out, to near full-full strength, depending on size, response, etc.,... oh yes, and your soil's nutrient base contents! - "hotter" soils, like Fox F.'s Ocean Forest, will need less input from you than a much lighter mix, like their Happy Frog,.... In fact,
OF is usually too hot to start in, so you must start them in something like HF first,... organics are very nice, but usually not very conc., unless you start learning your amended poop-teas, with guanos, composts, etc., which is a whole other skill to learn! ..simple ones like I mentioned with just EWC and maybe some molasses and light nutes mixed in, left to stew for a couple days, are just the start,...****
:no: :wiggle:
BLV!! Cue up Cleveland again plz!!
...such a horrid truth,...LOL! oh my, you are a funny gal,...:clap: ..clip was funny too! ...but I know, you're in it just for calender porn-boy Stamos! :roflcry:*** Okay, back to work here,... :smoke: LOL!- yeah, I'm on da pipe!! I meant the AA, yes... I blame the Green Poison F1 FV (Sweet),... outstanding strain, the most potent Sweet I've had yet, with aromatics to die for! A citrusy-lime-leachee aroma and flavor; you
must try her someday... (the F1 Fast Version is an intermediate between full auto and photo... small lessening in light hours will induce blooming, and the speed the buds grow at is un-be-lievable! My >3ft plant gave me an oz of solid death-nugg's in 4+weeks of blooming! -never seen anything like it...)... Anyway, it's AA that still needs grow nutes, AM2 a blend for a few times, then switch to full bloom....
Oh I gotcha back now, already!!
do you think that I could potentially mix the Flora Bloom with a P # of 5 and the MG with a P of 12 and make a solution with a P # of 27 or does it not work like that?
.... :roflcry: 5+12=...27!! :twist: ..though the SPF math is solid, just wrong for other reasons- :roflcry:....forget my stuff, load me round of yours!! ...yeah, in this case, it's okay to "add" like that,... it's the % available P represented by this number....here, take this blonde wig for a minute...
LOL!
...>>> Water} ah! it makes sense, though I forgot what SMCL is,... hardness is a measure of how much CaCo3 (and to a lesser degree, MgCO3) is idssolved in the water,... this is what give water it's pH buffering capacity,... low PPM (parts per million) water is very twitchy with pH, and small inputs can make large pH swings, without buffering capacity... It's actually pretty good Mz. W',... 150-170-ish is where I mix mine up to,... Alkalinity measures waters' capacity to buffer pH, directly related to the amount of carbonates dissolved in it,.... lots of subtle water chemistry behind this, which is outside the scope here! Now, I must confess, I've been spared pH problems, which in soil, is a bitch sometimes,.. which is why it pays to dial anything in before you water with it, ...I'll have to look into this more, but the directions on you bottles will help,...(smart-ass, I know!! LOL)... I see no sign of pH nute' lockout, so just keep your water/nute soln. at 6.5 for now.... it has to get pretty bad before macro-nute's get locked out,... alkaline conditions lock Iron out first, followed by other metals, and Boron,.. there would be all kinds of symptoms by now, on the leaves....I highly recommend two books, hugely helpful: Marijuana Growers Handbook (Ed Rosenthal), and Marijuana Horticulture Growers Bible (Cervantes) ...*** Give that AM2 girlie some food, baby!! a blend... *** that bug, I can't tell, but it's sizable, so likely it's a predatory mite, which is fine,...
-love that close-up! :roflcry: -clever, and too funny!! :tiphat:
Im pretty sure its in the genetics of your entire gender though, so don't feel bad. Its not a you exclusive, lol. Even double S (Sexy Stamos. its what I call him) has a dark side. :roflcry:
Yes, I'm a bawdy little monkey!! (Stewie) ...and not a stitch of Norseman in me, truly! I'm more the Saxon-Samurai type...
You'd be right at home here, it's the family curse! Tooth, nothin',... we have a full deck! My 3 fav's, all from Grandma (Mom's side): buttermilk layer cake, with white frosting and dark chocolate drizzle, Shoe-fly Pie, and sticky buns!! ...just typing them makes me drool,... The cake is dense, moist, and creamy; if you like molasses, the pie is outstanding, with a "wet" bottom of flour and crumble thickened spiced molasses, and coffee cake style crumbles piled on top that gets more gooey as you go down.... (Homer)-- Mmmm-ghlllahhhlahhhhummbnomnom.... What's your specialty? :brow: ....you must have the metabolism of a humming bird,...
Bad plant parent!! :smoke: Use a paper towel piece or something to get those drops,... (good redeem, on knowing about light burning!)... Now, the water on the foliage thing, done right is just fine... this is a whole lecture on how to,.. learning about foliar feeding and treating for nute' deficiencies is a must in my book; nothing gets into the plants fatser than this method, and if there is a pH/root problem, this takes those out of the equation for the moment,... beading is an issue, as you know already about light burning, and also a fat drop of nute loaded water fast-drying on the leaf surface may burn it chemically too, depends,... To do foliar right, and avoid these issue, you use a water spreader/wetting agent with whatever you spray; this stuff is a surfactant, which takes the surface tension out of the water/soln. you're spraying, making it coat evenly, instead of beading up, rolling off, or causing problems... Most important, it makes what you spray cover more surface are, which means more gets absorbed through the stomas (little "openings" on the leafs' surface, for gas/moisture exchange); top and bottom works best too,... the rest of the leaf surface is covered by a cuticle layer that protects and seals, so nothing gets in through those areas... Pick some up from a Horticulture store, or online... When you do spray, pull them out someplace, like the tub, to hose'm down, and them lt them sit away from heat/strong light until they dry some,... after that, a fine mist is OK in the light, which will redissolve whats left on the surface and get absorbed,... Besides, nothing is automatic about the surface burning,... plants get rained on all the time, and don't get fried in the Sun later every time... BUT make damn sure they're dry by lights-out! Mold is a heartbreaker, and a common problem for dark, wet plants... 
Catcha later!
