Tap water VS Puratap water I tested the ec of my tap water at about 850 and I was far more confused when I compared this with my puratap twin filtered water that tested at about 900. I thought that puratap filtered water would have read far less than straight tap water. I then compared this to a bottle of spring water that was about 100. I’m just wondering if any of you have any suggestions on what the f is going on. I was hoping that the Puratap water would have been better quality. At the least I would have thought the puratap water would have filtered out some dissolved solids. I wanted to increase my additives, but with the water so high it’s hard to fit everything in.

thanks for the help guys i am now thinking i will give these next clones a chance, see how they go and try to replace the strains if needed. i guess i need to pull my socks up and get into it before i become to lazy and stuff it all up. from now on Billo i will take your advice on cloning after 6 weeks with rooted veg clones and my HPS is only a few months old now, though i am well over due to replace my cloning lights , i guess i should have thought of this before. once i finish fixing my other computer i will post pic's of the fluffy small budding plants, man it sucks my computer has so many private files on it, as i would rather pay someone to fix it. anyway thanks for all your help, i will take all advice and keep looking to find out what happened, it may have just been a once off bad grow, well i hope!

WOW I was just so tired and smashed last night, I had a tired/stoned/blonde moment when I posted this; it is "Diatomite" not "dolomite" It was not until I read this thread of mine today, that I noticed just how trashed I was, last night was just so bubblishus. I have no idea why the last few plants have been fluffy flowers with no real fatness or swelling. I am just so upset, as I have not even learned anything from it as I have no idea why this happened.

Can the strain change if you clone from clones? Can you f the strain if you clone from a 2 week flowering plant? My last grow seems to have f’d up; I think lately I have been far too easy going with my favorites and it seems now my strains are paying the price. My clones take up to 3.5 weeks from clones to show new green veg growth. Some of my last plants flowers where far fluffier and all of them didn’t stretch much at all and that’s all plants. The fluffy tops are just not adding any weight at all and I’m so stressed. I’m just hand watering these plants, they are being fed in veg: Canna veg 2 part, house and garden root excel. In flower I am using DM advance, Microbial, DM Potash. Both times these are being run under 600w hps, oh yea I use perlite with a thin layer of dolomite on the top 2cm of medium. I am just so pissed atm as my last few grows before these problems where killer and the smoke was great, but now ppphhhhhhhhhhhhh. Any advice would be great guys as I’m so lost atm

thanks for the report, i await your results as i am very interested in this one.

Hi all, I just wanted to ask if anyone has had much experience with Diatomite as I just picked myself some up a few days ago. I was wondering if this would be good to mix with my current medium of choice perlite. I just thought I would try something new, as I am hoping soon to graduate to a recirculation drip system for the first time. At the moment I am just wondering what you guys thoughts are on this as a medium. As I am getting far too sick of having to trash perlite, I would rather have a reusable medium or at the least be able to put it on the garden with out arising any suspicion at all. Also does anyone know if there is a certain level of silica in this stuff that will eventually run out or is it made with soluble silica as one of the main constitutes that will release with the eventual breakdown of the rocks. I know this one may sound silly but really I have no idea, and just wanted to know how many grows until it is all silica-outed. thanks all

thanks all, i have sent my details through to cannaporn now, im looking forward to wearing my new shirt

I was always under the impression that DMT when smoked is psychoactive without the need of a MAOI Inhibitor, the only need for a MAOI inhibitor is for oral or snuff ingestion.

Thanks for all your help guys, I had already removed infection though I didn’t like to waste the poor buds. Also after final chop during drying a few other of the very compact colas went bad so I am very upset and dried the end of the harvest fast. I have very good ventilation, more than needed for such a space, if anything overkill. though I do have to admit since only just starting up again a few crops ago after a few years off I did not invest in a indoor weather gauge, which I am now investing in, I also brought some microbial (I think its spelt correct) to help avoid the problem. my next move is to clean out the space and make sure all is spotless and infection free, I have also added stockings to my intake air. It just breaks my heart loosing 39gms of great colas

So do you think the mold would make it through the screens into the final product? Every day I look at the moldy buds they are getting worse very fast, it almost brings a tear to my eyes. Maybe I put this thread in the wrong place; I should have tried the hashish forum .Thanks for all the advice guys

Bud rot help, what to do with infected buds? Bubble? I unfortunately found myself with 2oz of wet top cola’s with internal bud rot right in the middle, coating the outsides of each small bud on the cola from the inside outward. The mold itself is brown in color and is kind of powdery starting from the stem in the middle. Is there any way to use this bud for bubble hash or something? As it seems such a waste of bud. Would this be good for bubble hash or would the mold make it through the screens into the final product?

though even a 250w would need a ballast box, lamp mounts and reflectors. which are all on the list

I guess we will need to start buying from drug dealers again and then start dealing too, as so we can afford to provide ourselves with medicine. If our jails were not crowded enough with innocent people using or cultivating for personal consumption. The saddest part is it is all too often those that are sick with very little income growing there own that will be now facing jail time or $10,000 fines. War on drugs I think not, it a war against the lowest economic class, the sick and people with whom grow to avoid being associated with real criminals! Fuck You Michael Atkinson I hope you and your family one day finds yourself in need of marijuana for medical purposes. And a Merry fucking Christmas to you to asshole

the pdf DRUG-MAKING TOOLS RISK JAIL Hon Michael Atkinson Attorney-General Minister for Justice The Attorney-General Michael Atkinson has warned those involved in making illicit drugs that from today they can be jailed if they’re caught with any of 30 listed drug-making items. “This sends a crystal clear message to drug manufacturers. We won’t turn a blind eye to your activities in this State and no element of the drug-making trade will be tolerated,” Mr Atkinson said. “Where there’s smoke there’s fire. By banning the means to make illegal substances, we’re crippling the drug trade. From today, no-one can have the tools of the drug trade without proving they have a legitimate reason,” Mr Atkinson said. The prescribed equipment includes: Hydroponic cannabis equipment, such as: • some high-intensity lamps, lamp mounts and reflectors used to heat and grow seedlings • carbon filters used to block the powerful smell of cannabis and evade detection by police • cannabis bud or head strippers. Clandestine laboratory equipment, such as: • some condensers, evaporators, heating tools, stirrers and distilling devices used for cooking illegal drugs • some funnels, flasks and filters • tablet and capsule presses • heroin presses Drug-making recipes and cannabis growing instructions are also prescribed items. The laws will also cover prescribed equipment that has been modified or is broken. Offenders face jail time of up to two years or a $10, 000 fine. “These items have been nominated by police as the equipment most closely linked to cannabis cultivation and amphetamine and heroin production. These items have very few legal uses,” he said. “Police intelligence reveals some hydroponic equipment stores have been instrumental in supporting S.A’s illegal drug making syndicates. Police want to break this link in the chain and we’re doing all we can to help them,” Mr Atkinson said. The changes to the Controlled Substances Act also back the Rann Government’s tough stance against criminal motorcycle gangs. Making and selling illicit drugs is one of the most lucrative endeavours of outlaw bikies in South Australia. News Release www.ministers.sa.gov.au At the last election the Rann Government promised to impose a jail term of one year and a fine of $4000 for possessing drug-making items. These laws go well beyond that promise. Today’s changes will be fortified with the passage of the Rann Government’s Controlled Substances (Controlled Drugs, Precursors and Cannabis) Amendment Bill 2008. That legislation will lead to an aggravated charge for people caught with both prescribed equipment and chemical ingredients for illicit drugs. More information about the prescribed items can be found at www.justice.sa.gov.au or by calling the Attorney-General’s Department on 8207 1723.
