Lovely. "The quick old fox pumps out over the lazy 1/4 pound"

Presuming you're hydro (coco) Are they the 200mm pots = 7 litres?

Do you hand water? How many feeds a day you give em in them little pots to yield that?

26 cm pots. Handwater every alternate day. But if I don't mix the perlite ratio ( to Canna terra/compost) consistently, some thirstier plants require daily watering during summer. Annoys me when that happens..

Haha, i can relate to that, mate. Sometimes it does feel like a chore. But i do miss the days, mid-summer, balmy afternoon with the Sun setting. Cold beer in one hand, garden house in the other..

I’ve had to feed twice daily in 200mm pots for the last month or so since the Warmer weather. (Coco perlite) The winter grow only needed once daily.

Lately though Bone dry after 10-12 hours they might only be 5 litre pots I think. I feed at lights on around 8:30 pm and again at around 6:30am couple hours before lights off.

Not sure I made a good choice growing in soil this round as I love spending as much time as possible with them. Taking in all the sights and smells.

Arrrrrrggggghhhhh.......had to make 3 fresh batches of STS to use tonight. First batch turned grey looking, so I knew something was wrong, as final solution is meant to be clear. I re- used two syringes from last round which I thought I sterilized well enough - obviously not. . So I ditched them and drove to chemist for 2 new syringes. Made a second batch, but it also turned grey. The Demineralised water is only 6 months old, but has been sitting in bloody hot shed, so could be the only culprit. Off to Woolies for a fresh bottle of Demineralised water. Air cond in Woolies ensured water was at lower temp. Bingo, all clear ! Heat does affect STS badly, as it needs to be refrigerated once fresh batch is made. But obviously bottled water that has been in warm temps also creates issues for STS. Anyway, now waiting for sunset to apply spray. Super Lemon Haze BX3, Crescendo, and Planet of the Grapes. With clear STS spray bottle in front. It's in a brown paper bag in fridge, as light also degrades it quickly.

Nice work, I've had that problem before and didn't think to swap the old dim water. As i burnt my last run

Yeah, mine was only 6 months old in sealed bottle, but shed is regularly hitting temps in low 40s, which is obviously messing with the solution.

 

[Kloud9]

Bingo, as mine was in the hot gagarge.

Mine too mate. That's why I try to avoid flowering in mid summer. Last harvest around Xmas, then immediately start another veg round, for flip to 12/12 in early Feb. They're usually finishing mid-late April so temps are more manageable. Ideally we would be growing in air conditioned spaces year round, but electricity costs would be prohibitive, unless doing much bigger grows.

 

[Madmick]

Mate why do you think I have 1 metre carbon filter

Think I've just learnt to cope with whatever nature's got to offer

The only thing I really have problems with is continuing wet weather

Day 41 from seed( yesterday) and flipped to 12/12 light last night. Chinese tomatoes. I like Chinese, they only reach up to your knees . RHS LHS

Temps will also fuck with and break down the silver nitrate so worth keeping that in the fridge as well

Loses efficacy after about a month in fridge if part A and B are mixed . I now make up a fresh batch every time I spray so I'm only storing dry ingredients

What I meant is that even as a dry ingredient the silver nitrate isn’t completely stable at room temps and higher so it’s can degrade and oxidise.

Do any of you guys who produce there own seed using STS, think the plant your attempting to reverse, needs to be a certain age to give pollen ?
Twice now i've tried it on younger smaller plants & got plenty of balls & flower but no pollen, yet a more mature plant (same strain) gave me heaps of pollen ?

Plant should be at least 3 weeks from seed before spray. I usually spray mine during week 4-5 from seed with reasonable results.

Day 18 after STS spray. All 3 sprayed plants showing plenty of balls. Ran out of headroom in small veg space, so keen for them to start spewing pollen within next week, when I can move them outside. Crescendo, Planet of the Grapes, and Super Lemon Haze BX3.
