Well it's nearly 3 am . By 3pm. today I'll have effectively reduced the size of my grow area by 2/3 . I think that will help some with the lighting situation . Next week I'm going to switch them to flower after I refresh myself here on 420 . Thank you all !

Man you folks are fantastic ! My room is app. 32' sq. I was looking at some 1200/1500 w. on Amazon for 150-160 . Pretty good reviews . I dunno if I should post a link here or not ? I thought the same thing about the 450's in that they're lacking Intensity . I think they'd be great for "fill"...

Hey folks ,,, it's been awhile . I'm getting ready to flip my girls . The last grow I did was mediocre (at best) , light airy popcorn buds and no taste . My LED's are 450x2 in a 4w x 8l x 6h room . I kept the LED's I'm only growing two as four was way too crowded , and 2 was all I could get to...

Re: 3 rd. "First Grow" Into Bud and a couple of ? Thanks Weaselcracker . I was a bit lit last night when I posted this . They grew over 4" since March 30th . I just found out one is going Hermie on me , it's got balls and pistils unless they are going to grow with those dense little balls...

As my title says "I'm into my 3 rd. First Grow" Number one got killed by who knows what , second was thrips and mites from the bagged soil I used . My wife got me a killer composter that holds 80-90 gal. soil mix . I used "Vics Soil Mix" from here . I put them to Bud on March 30th. after 12...

Bump

Hey folks , I finally have my new 80 gl. Composter done and it's great but empty ! I'm following Vic's Super Soil Recipe . So far I've got these ingredients on hand . 3.8 cuft. of Promix Vermiculite Worm Castings - 15 lbs. Kelp Meal Bone Meal Blood Meal Crab Meal Rock Dust I still...

I've been looking at Vic Super Soil Recipe after a bad experience and loosing my babies to "Weed-o-Vores" . Anyway , I wanted to find out if this recipe still stands the test of time ? Some input on this would be greatly appreciated . It's about time for another attempt at an indoor grow . Thanks

Thanks I really appreciate it . Sorry so late . Heat and fires are on the menu here . This grow is an entire wash-out after 18 weeks . The tobacco juice did in the bugs and plants . Doesn't help when there's 5% humidity (Humility) and 110* . Thanks for the invite too . When things slack off I'll...

Hey, thanks for the help folks ! I look to be starting over ,,, again . Lost all but two and they are in sorry shape . I need to do a soil "make over" . Worst part is they looked sooo nice. Hope you all have a plentiful bounty . Steve

Hey folks , I have some questions about soil , mites and thrips . When I started my indoor grow this past march I used 3. parts Fox Farm Ocean forest to 1 part Happy Frog soil conditioner . Things were great . I used Fox Farm Dirty Dozen nutes as per their recommendations . At 15 weeks , things...

Thanks folks ! I've lost 4 of 5 of my indoor ones after 16 weeks in . I'm waiting until tonight to get my two outdoor ones checked out .

Hey all , I'm hoping for an intervention here . My first grow is dieing after 16 weeks in . Turns out I have Spider Mites and Thrips . I've been reading FAQ's and Pest Control threads . I've tried Dawn and water spraying , I saw them with brushes and towels , looks like they're having fun ...

Hey folks , Steve here in the High Desert . I'm 8 weeks into my 2nd. grow after killing 7 with nasty well water . So this far I'm actually into my first semi-successful grow . They are having some problems . Leaves are curled and brown at the tips and rust brown spots on some leaves . The...

Hope you'll be passing out cigars at her "coming of age" party .. Beautiful , how many weeks in are you ? I had exactly the same thing happen . Killed 7 of the first grow ( kinda like all of them ) with our well water being nearly a 9 on the scale I just cooked em' . I'm 6 weeks in and the...
