Hey guys, thanks for stopping by... And thanks a lot Growbee. Feel free to help like that anytime my man. I am up to 41% humidity with lights on and it tells me the max that it goes to and I see it up at 53% and I guess that's when the light is off...And the humidifier is in the tent now. I would think it would rise more, right? 40 is way better than high 20s and 30%, but still. I dunno what to do, guess it may take a while or I might need a better humidifier, which blows.
Nothing seems to be getting any worse. When I opened the tent a few minutes ago I was immediately blasted with a strong ass stinky skunk smell. It hit me in the face I was like Whoa! haha
Hasn't been that strong ever. Seems like the plants are maybe opening up from the humidity increase and being smelly as hell. haha. That's good I reckon.
The DDs needed a shot of water so I gave then ph water about 7.3 because I know their ph is about 6 or lower by now. That was last night and they seem to look a tinge better today. When they get big enough for a full water I can straighten their ph out easier.
Diesel Dolly is just so pale. Would she benefit from a veg nute foliar, and maybe some Bio Weed too?
Molly is actually fattening on up with more and more green bud forming amidst all the hairs. I noticed the bottom few inches of her stem were peeling..? Like it's growing and shedding? Makes sense just never seen it. Otherwise she is fine.
I have a question about the last standing MI5 male, Frank. He is 5.5 weeks old and chock full of clusters of male flowers and over 20 inches tall. Just a beast, looks healthy. BUT...the sacs are opening up all over now and there is no pollen. Like none at all, not even a little. The pods just fall to the bottom of the box. What's the deal? I'd like to get pollen from him, but if he isn't going to give, then he is about to get the Squid Axe and dried for the hash bag. Any suggestions?

Pictures of Frank, last MI5
Hey guys. Well this is Frank right before getting the scissors. My woman did the honors but was about lit off some wine and when she was moving around she snapped his stem so she had to hold his ass up for me in the pic, but then he stood on his own seconds later...weird. Anyway...
So this big guy at over 22 inches produced NO pollen whatsoever. Don't know why and no one else chimed in so he got the chop, oh well. I already have some good potent MI5 pollen collected from Charlie, the first MI5 male.
Plus side is that I get all of him to add to my hash bag and he is just covered in flower clusters.
That's about it. I am going to be hanging out with my pops and then soon to be father in law this weekend and don't know how much I will be on until tomorrow night. Enjoy and have a great weekend folks!

Hey guys. Still having issues with my humidity down on Squid Farms. My humidifier rocks it on up to about 56% when the lights are out, which is great, but when the lights are on it still stays about 30%. Guess I need to take this one back and look for a better one. I was thinking about changing my schedule to 18/6 until I get a better one and maybe the two extra hours of dark will help overall with humidity and growth...maybe not.
I am kicking myself for screwing all these duurty dragon beans up. Five are gone from the first try, one that didn't germinate on the newer try, and the four that are growing now but not doing well from low humidity and ph. Captain Cure will make me walk the plank if I keep killing these dragons.
I decided that if these really don't make it and I have to start over...yet again. I am only growing MI5, apparently those are the only one's I can handle. That's fine though, they are hearty and take abuse and are great smoke. I can grow more of those out and keep learning along the way.
Dolly(Diesel Ryder) isn't looking great at all. I guess it sailed into that same rock that the Critical Mass hit months ago. Bottom sets of leaves died completely and I picked them off. So now it looks quite lolly-popped, much like the Crit Mass did. I may pull her I dunno. This shit is aggravating.
Molly the MI5 is the only one that keeps me going, haha. She continues to fatten on up pretty good and fill out her bud sites. No more branching, leaves or height though. I am going to give her a feed of bloom nutes in a day or two.
Oh yeah, to whoever was talking about the different waters at Walmart with me: I scooped up a bottle of the green cap Drinking water and it's ph was around 6.5, so I am going to stick with the Spring or Distilled if I keep using those that is... I am running a test with using my tap water again to see how it goes. It would be much easier and cheaper to be able to use it.
Thanks for stopping by folks.
