Seed Stockers Seedstockers Gelato 41 solo cup grow, EP3

[EP3]

Nice update, love the look of them so far. Real healthy!

On another note, if that cat you got the truncheon from is bad news, I hope he hasn't an idea what you're up to. I agree with your sentiment on not supporting the bad element of this hobby.

I always hope that further legalization will reduce that type and just leave the regular honest people to their business. It would be nice to be able to help out a friend if they are an occasional smoker rather than have them go on an errand to a bad part of town. It would also really reduce the stress level on caretakers. (The FBI has raided a house very near here today, I'm actually a bit concerned, although they really don't show up unless you are on some serious bad stuff)

He is in prison and will likely be going down for a long time. Nobody knows about me apart from my Mrs and my best m8 who also now grows too. In my scheme snitches get stitches or end up in the ground.
Local constabulary did not go through his door for weed, he was wanted on other charges. He is part of a large gang that run everything in this scheme. I know alot of them and even used to jump about with some of them growing up playing football or the likes. I decided to get a trade and not the easy money.
The local constabulary have alot more on their hands than me growing one or two plants at a time and I stay out of any trouble so unlikely they will turn up for anything else. The police commissioner has also came out and said they are not interested in small personal grows and they are targeting large criminal gangs.

Free the weed,

Went back up for a look. Was hoping to find a ph meter but all I found was some Mills feed for soil.

Hahah, nah, I didn't take it that way at all! No worries. Glad to hear you're on a good track. I think we've all had friends like that at some point. Pretty fun to do some wild stuff when you're young.

Happy growing friend!

Most of the boys I grew up with either ended up on Heroin, on the social or shady dealings some in the jail. Few of us became mechanics, tradesmen etc but most are bums. Where I live it was and may very well still be one of the poorest areas in Europe. It has improved but there are still ALOT of idiots. Its probably most schemes/estates/projects having similar issues due to poverty and lack of opportunities for well paid employment. House prices and many other things out of my control.
Anyway, thank you for stopping in I appreciate everyone's support and encouragement.

Cheers @DCLXVI

Peace,

Tradesmen should be proud.
The motto of my college:

“the workman that needeth not to be ashamed,”

I hate the phrase "unskillled labor." It denigrates those who actually do work. As if some CEO in a suit could walk down on a dock and suddenly he is a Longshoreman. If he can tie knots and throw rope, then power to him, but really, the skill involved in the daily of most jobs is beyond the comprehension of the "suit and tie" executive. Yes, I became a suit in the end, but at least I did every job on the way up. I loved walking in and still being able to do some of the old "shit tests" in front of new guys. You really have respect if you're a boss and can still walk out on the floor and do a task or two.

Ugh,

Rant over.

Hold strong friend. The working class need a revolution again.

Hello everyone. Hope you are all well. Thank you for stopping in. I really appreciate the support and the kind words, thank you folks.

So the wee Gelato 41 is taking shape and trying to catch up to her big sister, BCN critical. They are both, in my minds eye, looking ok. Growth has been steady and they are just starting to gain a little weight from germination.
Upped the ec/ppm to 0.8 or 560ppm truncheon, PH 6.0.
Also foliar feeding once a day with a kelp spray.

Everyones plants are looking strong with a few who are absolutely killing it. For those of us with, ahem, smaller ones remember size is not everything, at least that's what the Mrs says. Lol. I am sure we will have big ones eventually.

One last thing ran out of storage solution for PH pen next best thing


@St. Tom, @Trichome farmer, @Seedstockers-Mark
Here are my girls fresh from a good fertigation to run off. Think I need to go to daily now instead of every second. They are a little droopy and the solo was pretty light too, ooops.


Cheers,

To be honest I am not sure on the volume. I started off with no run off till it got a little bigger, then just till I feel its enough run off.
Should I measure it? I know volumes for my large plants I suppose.

I feed mine to run off every feed and I just check her in the evening some days I can make it a full day I think maybe that may be my secret sauce

No pal just give her a good drink no measurements and a bit later down the line at my age most feeds I give her about 500ml as I've got a jug that size
