Chat room (let's chat!) šŸ’¬ (Part 3)

I too have VERY MUCH noticed that, lol I bet @Northern_Loki even more so than any of us since heā€™s constantly redirecting them to the correct spot lol. I also notice it seems to be the same questions over and over and over and over. Lol when thereā€™s threads or at least links in here somewhere for most things but especially for the commonly asked questions I guarantee

Was unsure if you had a mister or just pump circulating the water. See thatā€™s definitely tried and true just a much better take on the cup of water , that can hold more, and doesnā€™t need water changed daily. Ingenuity at its best.

I agree, it fragments topics and you can see them working hard to organize things. Much respect for all that hard work.

Sometimes newer folk donā€™t realize that there already is a thread on a topic or, perhaps, they feel theyā€™ll attract more attention by starting a duplicate topic. Thing is, many times, the answers are already there waiting for them along with even more detail and depth. They simply donā€™t realize it or canā€™t find what they want easily because their keywords are a bit off, being lazy, cred, etc.

There are reasons but that seems to be the most common reason for the repetition.

Sorry for asking questions in this threadā€¦that have threads dedicated to them

Man .no wonder they arenā€™t rooting in soil and rooting hormone ā€¦

I leave them in a cup for a few days with ph water then cut the bottom on 45 again . Load up with rooting hormone an stick into the jiffypellet lol

On another note
Iā€™ve been blessed by many here with seeds to run and experiment with .

However I just recieved a blessing of some seeds. Of choice . Just dropped 3 reg HK AND 2 reg fast HK.
IF I get males and females. . I will be crossing them and attempting to make seeds and preserve HK.

What is inbreeding? Would I better of crossing HKMALE AND HK FEMALE . OR A HK AND HK FAST?
With my luck they will All be females hahaha

@HappyTrees23s, I was looking for this music all day on Youtube and your like saved my time!!! :slight_smile:

Lol your welcome :grin:

If you want more of the HK regular, then just use a Male HK and a Female HK.
That would be an inbred, using two siblings to make a cross.

If you used the Fast HK and the Regular HK then you would be making an F1 cross.
Meaning the seeds would be the first generation of those two being crossed.

But depending on what generation the HKs are, crossing siblings will give you more stable results. Can you find out what gen they are ?

If they are F1s and you do an inbred cross to make F2s (Use a male and a female) then you wonā€™t have a very stable cross to work with next time. A lot of variation comes out in F2s.

Crossing two DIFFERENT strains will give you an F1 cross
Crossing two SIBLINGS is an inbred cross, and increases the lines generation.

Plenty of information on here.
Like literally more then youā€™ll ever need lol, but thatā€™s the real basics of it.

yah I never use the rooting hormone, itā€™s just plain water ph 7 and the air pump. Makes it hard to fail, believe me. You donā€™t need a humidity dome either. etc

Things are always way easier to find once I know what Iā€™m looking for.

I have to say though some of the best tidbits Iā€™ve picked up on OG were just passing remarks in unrelated topics.

I still use a ghetto fabulous party cup cloner, but after seeing everybodies fancy neoprene rings I made up little foam lids with slits to organize my cuttings.

Dude definitely try these out from the dollar store if you can find them.
I just cut them into like 5 sections and they hold the cuttings nice.

Anyone have a good suggestion for some water filtration? I have a filter, but my humidifiers still end up blowing out some white bicarbonates or something.

Distilled water :frowning:

OR

Change the humidifierā€¦ There are two types. You have ultrasonic, and any minerals left leave that white film. Thereā€™s evaporative as well, fill tank with water, theres a filter / wick in the water and a fan setup. Works just as good, and no white residue since its evaporation and minerals will stay behind on the filter (gotta change that occasionally). I have two of em and they are both honeywell. Got one at a garage sale, the other at a church sale, $5 eaā€¦
