I was growing some basil out front. Phenomenal, nothing beats the taste of actually fresh Basil. I had a Green Bell, Rosemary and chives. Seriously, I don't understand why my dad and his friends wanted green lawns. I would much rather have a produce section as my yard.
I need clones :{ My girls are finishing and I have been reluctant to pay 50 bucks for 10 seeds from a seedbank. That same 50 bucks could get me already known genetics that I can see the plant they come from and know they are female. Plus seeds seem much more fanatical.

Yes, yes. I have paid ridiculous prices for seeds in the past only to never receive a package... I won't name any names (Attitude), but that's why I'm strictly clone only now. Well, that and OG is cut only anyway.

The Attitude guarantees delivery of seeds now if you buy some token item from them in your order, like a t-shirt or coffee cup for $10. That makes the package less likely to be opened up by Customs. And if you don't receive your package when ordered this way, they say they'll send you a replacement. Makes buying seeds even more expensive I know, but it's my only option where I live. So far I've received all 3 or 4 packages that I ordered. It's just hard for me to wait 3-4 weeks for delivery. Most of that time the package is sitting in Customs.

right. But I think that's part of the problem. Get a guarantee on your delivery for an added expense. Don't want to pay the added expense? You didn't receive your package? We told you to spend more to avoid this.
And yes, sitting there and fretting about customs is something I don't miss at all.
I just wish continued success to people placing their orders, and I'm glad you never experienced this. I'm not trying to sway anyone from ordering from Attitude because this could happen with any seed bank.. It's just that when you're sitting there waiting anxiously to start a grow and nothing comes, and you're out hundreds, it's not easily forgotten.
I def feel lucky that I don't have to rely on overseas seed banks.

just got my seeds from Attitude today! I'm completely stoked...this is my first grow and waiting the last 3 weeks has been hell. I did purchase mine with their "token" item. I initially thought this was just a scheme to get more money from their customers,( I still think it probably is) nevertheless I feel better after reading your post lordjin... Now lets git to growin!! PEACE

So my over 200.00 seed order didn't come because I didn't buy a coffee mug? Uh, yeah. Okay.
But enough of that crap. YOU got your seeds and that's all that matters. So, yes, can we please start growing now? lol.
What strain you pick up? Tell me about the grow technique you intend to use.

I decided not to keep killing you with boring daily growth pictures of slightly struggling clones, so I'll just give a written report:
Plants are still struggling along as the roots get going. Not much change. Still a bit droopy but the brown spots aren't getting worse and I see none developing on the new growth, which is still growing. I'm gonna change the water, clean everything out. Just give me a few more days. Let me get a few more of these poppin' out and we'll be in business again.
Edit:
A seven day root poke time is not bad at all. That's a six inch pot and the rockwool cube was tiny. It had a lot of pebbles to work through.
Edit 2:
Okay, high-pressure jockeys, I know you're looking at this. Let the roots games begin.
Edit 3:
And a note the the noob community -- After making my rounds giving advice in the aero/hydro section in the past few weeks, I can't help but point out the moisture level the rocks are holding in this picture. That's how wet it should be. A picture says a thousand words, so there it is. Look particularly at the open basket slot in the upper left corner. Now they're wet, but not drenched and look at all that breathing space. It's air mostly... And remember the moisture you see is enriched with DO big time. Avoid soaking your rocks too much please.
Remember, to the hydro grower, the hydroton clay pellet is the best thing since the wheel and fire and sliced bread. Nothing beats the perfect air to moister environment they provide imo. NO offense, coconut and perlite peeps. It's the spherical shapes of the pebbles that provide those dark, wet little air caves that the roots thrive in.
Edit 4:
And please note once again just how far away from the bottom of the net pot my water level is... Is it DWC? Sorta, but not quite. Is it Aero? No, not exactly. I'll call it Dwaero.

Y'know, that was so long ago, and I'm sure Attitude is very, very sorry... and I would bet if anyone from Attitude saw this, they wouldn't totally be against sending me a freebee... I mean even if it's just a coffee mug since I don't need seeds... But you owe me 200.00 worth of coffee mugs.

Right as rain, Captain.
Thanks.
BTW, another stupid little fuckup to report. While cleaning a bubble disk, I temporarily replaced with this very old, crumbly aquarium bubble wand. Well, one thing led to another and I completely forgot to clean the disk and left this crumby old wand whacking out huge, fucked up bubbles. God knows what it was releasing in the res because they have mysteriously perked up as soon as switching back to cleaned disk... I fear they were suffering because of this. Woops.
The culprit... Just look at that nasty thing. I'm such an idiot.
edit:
Smoking weed and growing weed often do not mix well.
Now you can quote me on that one. Just make sure you begin with, "A wise ganja grower once said..."

If they send you some, u can give them my mailing address!! lol.
I got Afghan Kush Ryder from World of Seeds and the Attitude sent me a freebee... Royal Qeen Seeds "Ice" which are feminized. I plan to use a similar setup to Scottyballs...Waterfarm (4) with a 600W HPS in a 4X4 tent. I was gonna do soil for my first grow, but after seeing your journal and Scotty's, I am convinced that hydro is the way to go! I've gained so much insight and knowledge from your journal. Thanks for sharing and much success to you! PEACE
Quick question:
What would be a good size tent for a 4 plant system and how hard would it be to scrog them? Haven't purchased anything yet except the seeds so any suggestions on a setup for a noob like me would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks for the kind words. And hey, why not? They can send you, an enthusiastic new grower, the seeds... and I can keep the coffee mug... can never have enough of those. Seriously, I like coffee mugs.
Any suggestions for a setup you ask? Scottyballs, you say? I would say if you're gonna do Waterfarm (great for beginners), you should pretty much follow exactly what Scottyballs does. Just copy the dude. I've seen his journal too. His now legendary scrog series is a superb example of simplicity producing mind-blowing results.
edit:
I grew ICE from Nirvana on my first attempt. I don't know if it's the same ice you're talking about, but this plant had wide bladed indica type leaves, grew very tall and lanky like a sativa. The top colas were MASSIVE (biggest bud the size of a football before drying) and the crystal coverage was like nothing I had seen before in my long, long pot smokin career. You couldn't see the bud calyxes because they were hidden under a thick layer of sparkly sugar. I guess they don't call it ICE for nothing. I think ICE stands for Intense Crystal Experience or something like that.
So I was pretty much thinking I was the shit doing this well on my first attempt... But I moved onto harder strains and it was a learning process all over again each time.
Sounds like you have some fun strains to play with. Hurry up and start a journal already.
