Indoor Mz.W's perpetual grow...grow journal

I do believe you worry too much, lol. look's like goofy baby and teenager leave's, if that make's any sense? an analogy of sort's if you will. once they mature a little they'll get sorted out.
 
oh elsamurai. How much you have yet to learn about me haha. yes- I smoke entirely too much weed to not be paranoid at least a little
hahah


waira...you're such a good soldier lol that seems to be my new thing lately...telling people they're a good soldier...idk really what it means, but by god, waira, you're a GOOD SOLDIER! lol :d5: you were actually the reason i even tried to hold the cfl over the plants. Im sitting outside the tent, and im like 'if waira sees this, hes gonna bitch about the HPS being on ' LOL :hug:so I did indeed go back and turn the HPS off and I took these pictures JUST FOR YOU. Because I love you...now order somethin from me- will ya?! Jeez lol
I think the HPS just makes the plants look sad. stupid fucking... red light special..TLC wannabe...fucking....HPS!! RAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH lol The more I was lookin at them without it, I thought exactly what elsamurai said, and that they were just new little baby leaves, and they'll fill out....but the claw on the leaf I am ever so worried about. and the twisting/turning which is normally pH related, is it not? IMO I think they look pretty healthy...maybe hungry? what do you think?

Girls won't be up for another hour or so, at which point i'll papparazzi and do an update lol but i just wanted to share, mainly with Waira, that I showed K what you said -
... Tell my brother K to trust me on the Accurate 8 investment!... it has a built in moisture meter too, which is handy... no more f*cking around with run-off BS and hassle, getreal in-soil measurements w/o the error sources inherent with run-off testing! It's faster, easier, and more accurate, it'll pay for itself before long... The cheap-o ones at garden centers are total crap, BTW,...
and he said we are adding it to the list of things to get for the next grow(aka whenever we start the new beans we just got):D:D
 
Day 21 and 19

So this is all from yesterday, because I suck and never came back and did the update lol

So, the girls are doin' good. I'm starting to question my understanding of stunted autos though, and that should surprise no one lol
The impression I've been under (mostly cause no one corrected me on it before lol), is that Teeny would show pistils at or around the same time as the other Critical+ because autos flower based on age and not light cycle.
Right? Right.
So Stilts showed me her glorious pistils on 2/3, so I thought I'd be seeing some on teeny by now. Because they both had tap roots at the same time. One got planted and sprouted in the traditional way, and the other got left in the paper towel and then a good deal later, once it sprouted in the baggie- thats when it was planted. So I would assume that both critical+ are the same age, no? Why is there no sticky for stunted plants, dammit?! lol
In the same breath though, I feel like I recall reading somewhere at some point, that the plants wont show sex until they have a node or two. Maybe thats photos? I honestly, dont know lol because that would mean that a stunted auto sexes not based on age, based on height?
WTF WHY IS THIS SO CONFUSING FOR ME?! lol

whatever here, look at some pictures lol

Fast Bud day 21

Critical+ aka Stilts day 19
IMG_20150207_215342.jpgIMG_20150207_215401.jpgIMG_20150207_215836.jpgIMG_20150207_215448.jpg<---- so this last picture here is interesting. I don't know how to even explain whats going on with this leaf. Don't really even know if I should be concerned about it. Its just....weird.

Critical+ aka Teeny day ?

WTF is going on with this damn thing??

My oakton pH pen is being....weird.

I have 2, but they're both doing it..I've been using pH pen 1 because pH pen 2 started to act up first and I figured, fuck it - I got another lol. Well now this one is doing it and I have no more pH pen fallbacks lol.

So this is what happens.

WHAT IS IT: Oakton EcoTestr pH 2
WHATS GOING ON WITH IT: It goes into the 7.0 calibration solution and the pH comes back being higher than 7.0...
WHAT I'M DOING: In a valiant effort to calibrate the damn thing, I take the pen from the cap and put the 7.0 solution inside the cap. I turn the pH meter on and it blinks 1.0.0.0.0.0.0 and then it blinks pH2 and then blinks r 1.0 and I stick it into the solution. I give it a little shake and wait for it the number to stabilize so that I can hit the calibrate button, but I cant ever actually do that because it stabilizes at 7.5 - 7.6. YOU'RE IN A CONFIRMED 7.0 SOLUTION, WHYYYYYY are you coming in 1/2 a point higher than that?! raaaaaaaah lol

anyone with some input, would be fantastic, lol

::EDIT::

so i've got the meter here next to me at my laptop because I was following the directions online in case my memory was failing...which should also surprise approximately no one lol so i just turned it on with it already in the solution and it said 7.0 so I hit the calibrate button real quick while it was steady at 7, and it blinks CAL a few times, and comes in at 7.4. Then it blinks 7.4 a number of times, blinks ENT and says 7.0 and doesnt move.
what the fuuuuuuuuuuuh im so confuseeededdddd lol

That happened to mine too, after cal it would say something weird but the actual readings were on point. I just stopped worrying about it since the readings were accurate..but then it got screwed up, it stopped reading accurately. Tried calibrating with 4,7, etc and no luck! Had to toss it out and got ph perfect nutes.. best move ive made.
 
btw i grew a critical+ auto and shes a leggy quick finisher! Tasty smoke too. :Sharing One:
 
yea I was actually looking at the pH perfect nutes...it really seems like the way to go instead of constantly toying with the damn pH meter(s). It's just gonna be hard talking K into getting another set of nutrients...cause we have SO many lol. and SO many is not an exaggeration.

I have that same meter and have always had a similar experience when calibrating, which I try to do a couple times a month. What I do now is ignore whatever it flashes while calibrating. When it finally stops all the flashing and nonsense I look and it's measuring 7.0 in the calibration solution. So, I think I would say my advice is to ignore the screen during calibration, and as long as it measures the solution 7, then you are good.



I wouldn't measure inside the cap because I think that can get all contaminated over time. Mine looks like it's been run through the mud or something, and I don't even use it to hold solution. I would maybe use like a little cup, pour the calibration solution in there (about 20ml or so I think is the minimum the bottle says) and then do the calibration like that. Good luck, hope you get it figured out!
 
yeahhhh about that critical+... lol
yours, i'm assuming is by dinafem?
