They are stinky and skunky. I started them in my guestroom and they stunk up my whole house when they were like 5 inches tall. heh I didn't want to buy the tent and carbon filter, I had to. Paranoid and my neighbors are pretty close. With the tent and everything I can leave the door open to my garage and nobody would know they were there. I have a fridge near by which is almost as loud as the fan so it appears to be a loud fridge. It looks like a portable wardrobe when it is all zipped up.

Welcome back man. I think my soil needs to be diluted with perlite or something. They do not like being watered. Well the short rider doesn't. Everytime I water it it curls and looks like crap. The Northern Lights seem to like it a little more. I mixed up the soil a little for them. I tried to find some perlite but all I coould find was MG perlite with nutes. I may run to the hydro store tomorrow and grab some. I've been germing a few of the mystery seeds from Nirvana and one poked through. I may transplant today and maybe blend a little hydroton because I do have the at hand. Do you think it will work for drainage?

BTW you may have missed some of the pics I posted recently, lots of chatting going on. Look back a few pages. heh

After I flooded her I replanted and waited 2 weeks. I watered her a little waited a week and just watered her again the other day. I wait til the top 2 inches are dry and not sticking to my fingers but there must be wet pockets in the soil or something near her roots. It is only a 3 gallon bucket. I guess I will just stick to every other week. She has little mini-buds growing all over. heh I will definitely dilute the ocean forest soil from now on with some perlite.

I got all my ingredients for my bubble buckets. I also ordered about 2 years worth of seeds too. lol Lotsa killer good stuff from Attitude. I may do an autoflower grow next with Lowryder 1 Easy rider and Afghan Kush ryder. What do you think? Does it sound yummy?

I am very happy with dna genetics. I got a pure afgani from them. i got 5 regular seeds and 2 died and all 3 of the others were females. They are very pretty plants. The la woman looked very nice , but i like to get short mostly indica species. I have done some bagseed sativa's before but i am just not ready for them tall fuckers. I have a bunch of seeds myself, i have them all put back for when i need them, these were from a undisclosed location , so i dont really want to rattle off all the names. I doubt the breeder wants his/her species on the first page of google search :wink:
white widow
cheese mix
kush mix
diesel mix
and a few other nice ones! I am most interested in the s.a.d. i got from sweet seeds.

i cant really say how often to water her but you really should go by the "weight test" to really tell. It is really hard to tell with your fingers and you dont wanna jam meters down in the roots all the time. If that thing was eatin right it would dry out that pot in about 3 days .....5 topps. (if its dry enough , most of the water will run right onto the floor, and that is alot better then sitting water)

I will wait til I have a few grows under my belt before I attempt a sativa. I am also studying up on LST and topping before I even think of growing one.

lst , hst, topping , yea thats all very good shit to read about. I have never tried a "technique" for topping or lst , i just bend um over tie um down and sometimes break them. and if i want a certain branch to slow down , i either beat the piss out of it or pinch the top off.

I read about a guy who yells at em for the last 2 weeks to stress em out so they produce more resin. lol

When Nirvana sent me my freebies, I took 4 and popped em into their jiffy ball thingies. 1 has popped so far and I put it in soil today. It has been like 3 days but was in a kind of chilly spot. I put em on top of my cable box and 1 popped today. I am gonna do 24 hours of light for a week or 2 then into the tent. I wonder how they will turn out.

Along with them I also had a blue mistic from nirvana germing and still no luck. It has been almost 2 weeks for that so I decided to poke around in its jiffy pellet. Same deal as the 1st one. It opened just barely with some skinny little tiny taproot coming out which was almost transparent. I am giving it a few more days but I don't think it is gonna make it. My 2 northern lights are doing good. I watered them and they liked it. A nice little explosion of growth.

I was taking a nice close look at the short rider to make sure she is healthy. I trimmed a couple of dead leaves. Her buds are swelling up nice. The biggest cluster of buds isnt the cola. It is just below the cola and the 1st set of branches. Huge cluster of bud growing in there. I hope the cola gets that big. Like a coke can. The cola is getting bigger but not quite a coke can yet. Maybe it is about an inch an a half thick now almost 2 fingers. I can't wait because I have almost zilch left. My buddy is sending me a quake ups. I can get about 2 weeks out of that if I ration like I have been. heh

P.S. Has anyone seen the movie Bruno? I ask because I saw it the other day. I think that is the reason I almost described the cola as a skinny dick. lol Way too much penis for 1 movie.

Bruno was funny too. But Borat is almost as bad with all the fat naked guys. If you're a homophobe then you may not make it through Bruno. lol

The room where my plants are is where my drums are supposed to be moved. I have them set up in the garage and the wife is bitchin at me to move em. Rain season is coming and it needs to be done or else we will be getting wet. I hope they don't mind. heh

I am using a 250watt for 4 right now. And it may be 5 soon. It is good for a 3'x3' area.

I am currently growing in soil and my AG, I am having more success with the soil. The AG was great to germinate. I have two crown royal in the soil and in the AG I have a white widow fem. I will not give up on the AG as I have seen grows however only one plant at a time as they tend to fight for the nutes. Makes sense to me. I only use my phone and haven't figured how to post picks but will once it figure out. Good luck growing!!!
