They are gettin' kinda' pretty, aint' they. As expected, the Powerkush(which is who is in that pic) is out-performing the others in flowering, as it did all through vegging.This plant keeps re-assuring me that I picked the right one for my clones. I just posted, in my clone grow journal, that I hope they keep her vigorous growth, when they root fully.
HTG Supply, eh? That's cool. I'll check into it. I'm not gonna' need the light for some time, but I'm probably gonna' buy it soon after harvest. I get the feeling a few hundred dollars wont be real hard to come by, around that time.
Speaking of that... Had some trouble finding the one you were talking about, NeL. Got a link?
Here it is. It doesn't say that they are dimable but they are. You can set it at 360, 400, 600 and super lumes.

Awesome, brah! I'll bookmark it. How is it outside, up there in Canada? Has it warmed enough for you to start diggin' some holes yet? I got most of mine composting. Every hole got a pile of Llama shit, Mycorrhizal Innoculant(EA&EN), and I also threw in some moss I scraped off the pond. I think they'll do well, with that.
I'm bringing this up because I'm going, this afternoon, to dig my holes for my Super Lemon Hazes. Do you think fish composted in the soil for 5 weeks is gonna' be too hot for Arjans cup winner? I know you to be a VERY experienced outdoor grower, and your opinion is very much appreciated, brother. What would you compost for it? (If you need a second look at the genetics, they're HERE.)
Does anybody have experience organically growing SLH? Do you think it will handle the rich soil composting fish will make? I know it's vigorous as hell with a potential for a two pound harvest, but is it tolerant to VERY HOT soil?

For those who've been following closely, you may remember me saying I was gonna' add more soil to the bottom of my buckets, because they were about 10 inches from the top. Well, I did that tonight. Now they're within' 3 inches from the top of the bucket.
I didnt water them at all yesterday, so they would be nice and dried out for today. Everything went very well. I pulled them out of their buckets, and filled in the bottom of the bucket with some very nitrogen rich soil I've been composting for about 6 weeks now. I'm anxious to see how they react when they start digging into it.
Other than that, everything is the same and they are still healthy as all hell.

It's warm enough to dig holes, if It would stop fucking raining. Supposed to be 70 this weekend. I've been busy dropping trees and doing some land clearing.
As for the organic mix. I like to stick with my plain mix ammended with time release dry organic nutes. No fish compost for me or anything that could attract animals. I like to be able to liquid feed every week. I get better results, more work but It works for me.
The dry ferts I use have kelp andall kinds of shit it in.

Man, I knew it wouldn't let me, but I tried to +rep you anyways. Haha. Thanx again, brah.
I ended up taking a drive, out to some familiar hillsides and diggin' about a half-dozen holes for other plants. I purposely waited to do my SLH holes to check your response.
The holes I dug today got Horse/Llama manure, Mycorrhizal Inoculant, and a good dose of Blood/Bonemeal. I figure they'll be nice and fertile come first week of May.That Marine Cuisine will go well with my organics regime. My base soil in my compost tote is FFOF and my food is gonna' be FF Grow Big & Big Bloom.
So I'm just gonna' prepare my SLH holes the same way I did the others, for now. I'll probably have to order the fertilizer, and wait for that before I dig my SLH holes. Shouldn't take too long. The guy I order from usually delivers pretty fast. Some of the holes I dug are easily accessible and on trusted ground, so I can just go back out and fert them with it as soon as I get it.

Got my final order for this grow, today. I got Big Bloom Plant Food & Tiger Bloom Fertilizer from FoxFarm. Tiger Bloom is a new product, for me, and Big Bloom I've been using since flipping the photoperiod. Anybody have any good advice on a feeding regime, now that I'm adding the Tiger Bloom? All I've done up to this point is my homemade organic tea mixed with Superthrive, and Big Bloom. I've been feeding them this tea two days, then a flush day...Two days and a flush day...ect.
My question is, is this Tiger Bloom something that Im gonna' want to use alongside my Big Bloom, or at a different time? +rep for help, man... If I can. I've probably already +repped each of you recently.
Not sure why I paid ten bucks for scissors... I mainly bought them because of the horror stories I've heard on here about blisters on fingers from trimming, and these have big comfy handles... Also they look pretty cool.
I should plug the guys site I get my supplies from. He's got good prices, and every order I've made with him have been on my front step in two days , and the last 3 times have been next day delivery.
I get my shit from Kreations Indoor Gardening Center. The dude that owns its name is Chris. He's cool as shit, and DOES NOT make references to pot, or growing pot.(But I can tell from the sound of his voice that he's cool.)

Ok so for bloom I use
2 tsp of TB w/ 1 tbsp of BB per gallon of water.
Any more than 2 I can almost gaurentee burning. Same goes for the GB if you ever use it. For clones first feeding I use 1 tsp of GB with 1 tbsp of BB.
I have done many succesful grows with this mix. Outside I do not ph. Inside sometimes. But I can tell you that when you mix those bloom nutes your ph will be 4.5 ish.

Nice, they are looking super healthy. They should really be packing on the weight soon.

Yeah, any day now, the top buds on that Powerkush are gonna start pushing together, and wrapping around that stem, to form what will hopefully turn out to be a big ol' heavy cola. I still think I'm gonna' have amber trichs on that girl by 7 weeks. She's MOVIN'!
They start on Tiger Bloom, Tuesday.(Tomorrow is a flush day) I'm using the feeding amounts that you helped me work out. Thanx again, btw. Im not sure how they're gonna' react. They've never gotten chemicals before.

I would put the thrusters(Fans) on max to get em used to the weight thats coming.You may have to tie half those buds up.

Yeah, they've all been on high for a while. I dont have much in the way of fans in there. One big fan, and two small ones. But I use them very well.
I have a small window fan with two small fans in it, blowing over my ballast and under the canopy to keep the air under there, moving. I've got a small 12" fan dedicated to the unshrouded 400HPS. And of course, I've got a big ass oscillating fan moving my ladies.If that doesn't prove to be enough, I've got 20 bamboo stakes, and I'm not scared to tie every damn branch in the room up. It'll look like a pothead puppet show in there, man! Haha.
You doin' anything outdoors this summer, ht? I put water on 92 beans today. It's that time of year, man. Why wouldn't every gardener take advantage of the summertime? Talk about a full spectrum light!? Haha.
