ok here are the seedlings I removed 2 leaves so the center one can get some light.
You can see the clones, as well.

Holy shit, now that was a crazy…17 hours. I feel…like death. Didn’t get COVID! take that! I am really looking forward to getting a new set of bubble bags now. I’m going to need lots of hash to forget about that day. So…fucking…boring. I mean, all I did was read books all day long, but I couldn’t leave or anything. Had to dose some tincture at 5am to power through the day. Couldn’t go rip hash or anything. Good news is I think that leg thing is almost gone.Tomorrow I’ll regenerate and post some photos. The roots on the clones are really looking good. blah blah the buds are doing good on the king tut.

The first ones to root, will also be the ones planted! I wonder if I should crank off 2 batches of meat breath and forget about the king tut.

I’m not lovin’ this:
Also I took more clones! The clone in the corner is a suspected male. I am cloning it for…just something else I can do. Just curiosity.

ok now for a more frank discussion about things I read. uhh that popular science book what a plant knows where buddy tries to make plants seem to have human-like senses. Except that’s fantasy world shit. Here’s where he got it right, though, is the plant is operating on chemical signals just like us. Any further comparison between the two is mere poetry.
On that note, you can clearly see how these three plants in the bucket can communicate directly through chemical signals. There is literally nothing separating their root in a physical manner. If one plant is under attack, all three are, really. So then I have three plants in three separate buckets. They aren’t magically speaking to each other, they have isolated systems. In his pest suppression example by trees they get the signal via chemical transfer through the root as the trees next to it get decimated by caterpillars. I’m afraid that applying those concepts to cannabis…umm you know, grown in the lab or a tent somewhere, it’s just not realistic.
Here’s what “could” with high probability, be real:
one of those three cannabis plants joined together, gets mildew. Probability is immune response generates small bits of elemental sulfur. Then the other plants, who’s systems are connected, get the same signal and generate bits of sulfur as well. Hey, if anyone wants to fund that study give me a call. I can do it cut rate clandestine illegal study! I’ll tell the lab to fire up the spectrometer. lol!

lol yah but only if it doesn’t test positive for pm. I got a photo of the meat breath here, they are looking for more nutrients in solution. I am going tomorrow, to get it and order the bags. XXXtractor or whatever the fuck they are called.

The best part is all those plants that took a hit have recovered without showing any signs. I guess in the end it was just a few leaves that croaked, and they were quickly replaced by new ones.
You can see… literally…that the roots of different plants grow completely different from cannabis roots.

That pelargonium is growing new shoots from the top again. The leaves have also started to shine and reflect light. It was part of my protocol 0 test on random outdoor plants. I am going to make lots of clones of it for summer next year. I’m not sure why it’s growing a new shoot under the water though! Someone forgot to tell it there’s no light down there.
The strange part about the pelargonium is the kind of resistance it has to parasites. I never bothered to go and read up on why that is. It’s not immune like an african violet though, I’m sure of it. ok 99% sure? hmmm…better go and verify that. A whitefly will attack a tomato plant, and that thing is a member of the nightshade family! ok ok they can be feasted on by a couple different pests that are easy to control. White flies and aphids. So I could expect the pelargonium would get aphids and white flies. Meh, those are easy to snuff with some biological control. I call it… squish squish! I’m crushing your head!!!
If you’ve never seen this tv clip, prepare to die from KITH humor… or prepare to stab yourself in the eye. LOL!

Try heisenbergs tea if you havent already. Originally designed for slime, it works for root rot.
Root rot is mainly an environment issue. I only get it when my water is warm and ive been doing DWC for 9 years now
hell yah warm water = trouble 30C means 7ppm oxygen plant is going to croak. I use a temperature gun from canadian tire to check mine. Normal operation means the temp never goes above 20C.
On another note, I got the nutrient from the store, and got the bags. They are all prepped for a trial hash run. I didn’t get another hydro system outlay, yet. I’ve been looking at buddy’s mothballed hydro system… heh heh now that he’s gone dark, I could get my hands on that thing. I’ll have to swing by his place though, and see. I’ll offer him my old lighting system in trade. That thing pounded lots of weed for me…in it’s day. Now, just power wasting shit. heavy as my ass. Size of my head. etc. I’m sure you noticed my growing kit could fit in the palm of your hand… how they fit a 1000watt ballast into a case that small is amazing. The weight? I wonder if it weighs a kilo. I’ll offer my ballast and bubble bags vs his hydro setup. They are worthless to me.

These babies are going into bloom very soon!
seedlings are off the hook, probably need more nutrient.

now for the blooming plants! The King tut are so close to being done… Someone else would have probably harvested them by now, but not me! Gotta wait till peak maturity!

I have all sorts of measurements on there this time. All of them more or less accurate lol! Now we can see trichome stalks shouldn’t make it into the hash. They could potentially fall through since they are only 50μm ish in diameter, but then they will wind up in the 25μm screen after falling through 90 and 73. The work sack is 220μm, so anything larger is a no-go. Ohh shit…L3 is that short trichome beside it. Even that stubby bugger has too big a stalk.

ok I’ve got an experiment for yah all! Listen to this one. So… If it’s just cold ass water that knocks the trichomes off, I should be able to knock em all off using a steady stream of ice water. So if I go outside in the freezing ass cold like -5 then use ice water to spray and pray on the buds - I should knock all the trichomes off like plaque on teeth. Makes a person think eh? goes and gets his water pik We’ll see…
