Installing a four-phase filtration system in a 125 year-old basement

They are probably just the plant reacting to the lights or even a genetic trait.. If they looked sick, I might point to a magnesium or phosphorus deficiency....

[UndergroundFarmer]

Now that I think about it, some advice I can give you is to be sure to calibrate your pH and EC/TDS testers regularly. I let mine go for too many months...

[UndergroundFarmer]

A good T5 fluorescent panel is a good investment starting out to keep costs down. Plus, once you can afford better you will always have a use for the...

[UndergroundFarmer]

Agreed. Virtually any other growing media would be better. I think they're dwarfed from lack of oxygen to the roots. They are probably rootbound too....

I've seen flowering start within one week but that was with plants that were in veg for more than four weeks before changing to 12/12....

[UndergroundFarmer]

It looks much better than my first attempt!

[UndergroundFarmer]

I flush out the first filter a bit every day and I'm amazed at how many crumbs it catches. No wonder the piping under the floor was so stuffed up.

[UndergroundFarmer]

Well, I'm down to about 20' of lead left from the outside valve to the basement, but it's still a great improvement.

[UndergroundFarmer]

If it was, he needs to start helping out with checking pH while I'm at work and trimming bud after harvest. Nobody rides free!

I just told...

[UndergroundFarmer]

That may well be my next project if TDS levels don't come back down. At least I can buy one of the smaller outfits now that I already have the other filters...

Concern over chloramine and other mystery contaminants from the Missouri river in my tap water spurred me to spend two weeks off from work doing this...

[UndergroundFarmer]

Week 6 and the return of bud porn! They are uneven but healthy and producing. That one PH cola will likely keep me in smoke for a few weeks or more! The...

At week 7 of flower Blueberry has about 90% red stigmas and about 80% of fan leaves gone. I expect to chop next weekend. Sweet Zombie is at least looking...

Here in Missouri, legal shops only opened this weekend. As usual, the prices are a prince's ransom and quantities are limited. Thank Jah for our homegrow...

[UndergroundFarmer]

Dammit, I may just have to order some NJ seeds, but only after my previous order arrives if ever.

[UndergroundFarmer]

I'm going with an old variety and a really old variety for my next grows (Ghost Train Haze and Skunk #1). Red Diesel sounds interesting. I've got two...

[UndergroundFarmer]

Try putting that grinder in the freezer then scrape again. You're better off growing your own frosty bud. For me, Bruce Banner from my previous grow has...

[UndergroundFarmer]

I've only done it once and that was an accident.

[UndergroundFarmer]

These two plants survived my forgetting to calibrate my pH meter for a few months and were runted because of that. I had that Blueberry back to health...

Happy birthday from the opposite side of the world aka the USA.
