Indoor Squid's Second Grow-Duurty Dragon, Diesel Ryder & MI5

[Sm0kEz]

when is your next picture update bro how your girlies coming along?

 

[The Squid]

Molly the MI5 is doing rather well. Just gotta get this ph back on, it isn't too bad though. The DR is alright, more yellowing there and not a ton of growth. All four D Dragon babies are fine, coming along nicely.
Probably throw a few pics up tomorrow maybe. Thanks for stopping by bro.

The Death of Diesel Dan(Among Other Things...)

Allo friends and countrymen! I dunno what that's all about...

I knew Dan was close yesterday, and when I was pulling him out of the MailBox earlier he got too excited I guess and blew a load all over my hand so chopped he was. He is now laying in the morgue(green tupperware tray under the light) for several days until he dries out and gives me the rest of what he owes me. He stinks of gassy death he does. Smells great.

And then there was one...Frank it is, the beast of a creeping on two foot MI5 that is almost 5 weeks old. He's being a bit timid on the pollen giving, but his day will come. I have to raise the T5s almost everyday and then he grows into it. He was 16 inches last pic update and has grown 3 more inches easy since then, maybe 4. I am ready for him to be done so I can store that MailBox away and stop having to steer guests away from that room and the tent room.

I just realized that our camera is in the lady's car so I can't post pics till late tonight or tomorrow, sorry.

I won't chop that CM before pics, Growbee, no worries.

Edit: The DR female looks like she needs nutes, but hasn't dried yet. Maybe do a foliar?

Molly has two bottom fans that yellowed(not burned) on the ends. I suspect because of the low ph which I will handle next feed.

Hey squid, glad to see the breeding project is progressing man :thumbs:

 

[growbewan]

awesome, bro..thank you. i also want to see a pic of you somehow smoking the whole plant in a bong with one huge rip..lol

 

[The Squid]

Hey guys. Pics will be up tomorrow, I didn't have my camera all day...again.

Sadly the low ph has definitely taken a small toll on Molly and Dolly, I finally named the Diesel Ryder. They continue to shoot pistils and what not but Dolly is pretty pale overall and has curled leaves and Molly has curled and yellowing leave ends as well. They seemed to be ready again for water, last water was Saturday so that's three days. I watered with plain water ph 7.5. I got a little runoff and it was low 6s so they should begin to turn on around in a couple days I hope.

My fiance' named the Critical Mass that has been around since February I think it was, her name is Mia. Pretty name for a not so pretty plant, but she insisted and she likes when she has her way, so I let her have it. She actually kinda seems to be gaining weight. I just fed her plain water last time too and she seemed to love it. I think her ph was also a bit low. Guess I should maybe get some lime for the rest of this bag of Promix. I have done test after test, re calibrating meter, comparing to liquid drops and everything. This damn bag of Promix BX I got has low ph. There is no way around it, it's kinda been messing me up. With brand new Promix out of the bag and into a party cup, I water with ph over 7 and it comes out the other end a few seconds later right over 6. Guess it was the last bit and has less lime or something, whatever the case, that is the case.

Dragon babies are at 9 days today, looking fine. Bringing on the second set of leaves now. They were bare dry almost all the way down to the bottom of the 32 oz cup, quite light in weight. So I gave them each a shot of water, Literally just about an oz of ph'd water, no more, so I don't over-water. First time they have been watered since seeds were planted 10-11 days ago.

And I measured Frank today(the last standing MI5 male) He is at 20 inches now from 16 inches on last update a few days ago. No dropping pollen or open sacs yet. He is 5 weeks old tomorrow. Should be soon right?

Thanks guys!

Damn man,sorry to hear about your ph troubles.Hopefully you can get it turned around. I was just talkin to WVR tonite about maybe tryin promix bx and comparin it to my old standby ffof soil but now you got me back on the fence again. On occasion i get low ph with the ffof and add lime to bring it up to par-didn't know promix could have that problem to.Green karma to ya and can't wait to see the pics.

 

[The Squid]

No no. Please don't let that sway you man. I love this stuff through and through. I bet Muddy will still beg to differ on it being low in ph as they come out the bag pretty consistent at about 7 ph, but mine is low for sure. Screw Fox Farms, they have been bought out by Scott's, crap. Go with Promix, I would be willing to bet I never have this ph problem again with Promix. If I do, then it must be this area in the Southeast US that has the issue and it will go away eventually. Thanks for stopping by man.

Edit: I retract my statement about the Fox Farms Company. My apologies.
