LGM.I was thinking about doing the same thing, but I don't want to have to post on YouTube, opening another online account and have "POT" written all over it. Just kind of neurotic like that...
Plants look nice man. Wish I knew square one when it comes to soil grows. Yours is one of the first I'm following. Thanks for filling in some blanks for me.

yeah its a good idea to create a new email and just subscribe to all the '420 mag's' you want. thats what i did. then you can creat a youtube account with it and post your time lapse video. i'm really interested in yours with the ebb n grow.
p.s. how do you not konw the first thing about soil lol? they teach you that in grade school. its pretty simple. put seed in. water . done. the nute mixes are all the same just cut the ppm in half if you are using fox farms ocean forest, it runs hot as is, but it'll get you through the whole grow.

Grew 2'' yesterday. we're up to 15.5 for the biggest one and the littler ones appear to be stopped but crystalizing. should be interesting how this turns out.

Hey LGM.
When you start the e-n-g, I'll give soil a run!
I don't have a problem giving it a go, it's just that like hydro nutes, everyone has an opinion on what to use.
- Soil, or soil-less mix?
- What nutes to use?
I'm going to sound ignorant, but what is Fox Farm (I assume that's what FFOF is referenced all over the place).
- What pots to use?
- Do I have to transplant?
- Are bugs more common?
After I finish this current grow, I'm thinking for the summer a little flood-table, whilst I setup the new space for the e-n-g. Just let me know when you're ready....I'll be waiting man.
SF
PS. Plants look great man. Bet they'll taste even better!

first off here a link for my time lapse video of 6 hours. you can see a little growth if you look at the plant on the back left and use the black circle as reference.
You should use sunshine mix #4 , its a soilless mix. and FFOF refers to a fox farms brand soil that has preadded nutes that works well for beginners. Start your plants in dixie cups, then at 2 weeks transplant to 3 gallon or 5 gallon pots, (depending on how long you veg). bugs aren't common unless you use soil from outside or have bug problems in your hometown. also, i would use floranova grow and floranova bloom +calmag for veg and flower respectively.

Wow, nice to see ya corp.
What exactly are you and stinkfinger talking about? some roof? Im confused. I feel like i missed a memo.
anyways. I have switched the ladies over to my 1125hps and fed very strong bloom nutes. hopefully they will switch back into flower mode as planned. I'll try and get some pics up soon .

I think the sunshine mix #4 is a local thing. I am not sure though.

No way man, you can buy it online. just gotta pay for shipping. also if there are any universities in your area, they use it in MASS quantities (100's of tons). i'm sure you could snag a brick of it. bring a car though, shit's heavy.

I wasn't sure, I have only seen it at local shops and everyone I see on here that has it is from my area, so that's why I was just guessing.
Hell yeah it is heavy. The little Asian guy at the grow shop has trouble picking it up so I end up loading it in my car myself. Also 1 bag will go a long way too.

Hahah silly asian guy. But yeah. that is one very important thing to note. if you mix 50/50 with perlite one bag of each will fill a SHITLOAD of pots.
thanks man! I plan on doing another now that i have the mega watt lamp in there they should be picking up even more. we'll see. i'll have a 20 hour time lapse ready by tomorrow afternoon.

Sadly I think not. The plants are pretty much done stretching. It'll be about bud production now. But hopefully they stretch a LITTLE bit more. looks like maybe 5 or 6 oz harvest if nothing gets any bigger. so .. meh. i'm just waiting until i can do an ebb flow grow with lagit strains.

Plants are of good size now. Around 19 inches for the tallest two. The rest range from 9-16''.
The 5 25 day old 'seedlings' were transplanted into 3 and 4 gallon pots last night but accidentally watered in with unadjusted water (ph around 4.2). so i'm flushing them today individually then adding back 1/4 strength nutes.
that's about all thats happening
oh yeah. my peas are flowering too. got some pods showin up.
see you in about a week. when this starts getting interesting.
