Vernal's Basement Follies

[beacher]

You are extremely patient, plants look great!

But, yes, silica foliars do help control height. Plain water, silica, and a broad-spectrum booster (fulvic, vitamins, etc) is a wonderful spray for early flower. It also is a source of K, and it raises leaf surface pH, which will discourage powdery mildew, if that’s a concern.

Good stuff man. Thanks for that! Have a great day…

@OleReynard

Keep me in mind when it comes to bean time, please.

5 full size females, 5 gallon pots, under a 1K, fully seeded.
Could be 10K+ seeds, I’m positive I can squeeze you in haha.

Final selections for the run are Bandaid Haze #1 male crossed to:

Bandaid Haze #3 (green, shorter flowering)
Bandaid Haze #8 (purple, shorter flowering)
Haley’s Comet (NYC haze bagseed)
'79 Christmas Bud Afghani
Triangle Kush x '88 G13/HP

[OleReynard]

Have you got enough of 79 or do you need more?

[OleReynard]

I got lots of bshw also some from Doc D and some from Growman

Haley’s Comet (NYC haze bagseed)
'79 Christmas Bud Afghani

Wasup @vernal? @OleReynard? Both of these are outstanding! Unwanted seeds are welcome @oleskool830’s Shed!

All stocked my friend, though I do appreciate it.

Germinated a full pack (and have another half pack in the fridge) and got 1 male and 1 female, the female is quite nice, zero stretch, strong and pleasant lemony-hash smell. There’s some pictures in the thread somewhere. I believe this IBL Afghan pairing to have potential, I’m real excited.

[OleReynard]

Gheez your about as busy as I am.

[oleskool830]

You guys are as busy as a box of kittens!

[OleReynard]

Not unwanted beans by no means just eager to help anyone for the cause.

Please refresh me on MKP. Or direct me to some info. You talked about it one time with me. Later I went to educate myself and couldn’t find a thing. I think I was looking it up incorrectly. MPK or something. Lol
Thank you for your time and sharing of knowledge. I appreciate it.
Blessings…

Please refresh me on MKP.

Monopotassium Phosphate?
Haifa MKP™ is a fully water-soluble mono-potassium phosphate fertilizer, a highly efficient source of phosphorus and potassium for plants. As a nitrogen-free fertilizer, Haifa MKP™ is the preferred source of phosphorus and potassium when nitrogen fertilization should be limited.

Is this what you were looking for? Sometimes used for PK boost during flower…

Monopotassium Phosphate?

That’s the one. I mix it 50/50 with Potassium sulfate, which gives me roughly 0-26-43 powder bloom booster, which complements Dyna Gro Bloom well. I make a saturated solution, and use that solution at 5mL/gallon in bloom. It also provides a kick of extra sulfur.

Hi guys, if I might join for a moment… I’m curious how to make this.
how saturated?
ie grams/gal of each?
or make up a 16oz batch at a time?

I haven’t tried doing a PK boost before…
I usually just bump up the feed when they’re growing fast.

[oleskool830]

That’s the one! Thank you. I learned more from you today than I have in the recent past. I am grateful.

It’s about 1/2 cup of MKP/K2SO4 in a quart of hot water (I do it in a pot on the stove). Keep mixing in MKP or a mixture of MKP and K2SO4 until it won’t dissolve anymore. Let it cool, then pour it into a mason jar. Use this as a PK boost. I wish I had more exacting measurements for you. If you use dry MKP/K2S04 powder, I use a tsp per 5 gallons for the majority of bloom.

Most bloom boosters are quite literally MKP and/or K2S04 in various ratios, dry or liquid.

You can buy the dry Monopatassium phosphate and/or the Potassium sulfate on MBferts for next to nothing. I spent like $30 shipping included for enough bloom booster to last me the next 5+ years.

@vernal

It’s about 1/2 cup of MKP/KNO3 in a quart of hot water (I do it in a pot on the stove). Keep mixing in MKP or a mixture of MKP and KNO3 until it won’t dissolve anymore. Let it cool, then pour it into a mason jar. Use this as a PK boost. I wish I had more exacting measurements for you.

Thanks for the help with that… I printed it out to save in my garden notebook

Good Morning Brother! Yes, it’s oleskool again with one more question. Then I won’t bug you again…at least for today. I know how busy you are. Are these the correct products?

[MichiGreen]

mbferts dot com looks like a great website with good prices.
good find!
