Confidence can be such a powerful tool! Great job on the grow c2g, and growing your own veggies can be quite rewarding too. I am doing cukes, bell peppers, green beans, jumbo 4th of july tomatoes and roma tomatoes this year. The stuff you grow yourself is always tastier and better for you, whether for food or smoke! Enjoy the continued fruits of your labor.
My Roma tomatoes are about ready to go out to the garden. I've re-potted the mammoth sunflowers but they need to go out too, they are getting huge. I lost the flat of Alyssum I planted. I'm going to sow those directly. My Habanero peppers are about ready to go outside too. Oh and my Columbine seeds were to old and didn't germinate. Oh well I have a new pack and I just need to get up there and get them sewn into a flat.Confidence can be such a powerful tool!

Thank you so much. They turned out better than I expected after all my screw ups.nice budz
As you can see I've followed collective gardener's advice and moved to soilless, specifically Sunshine Mix #4, for this flowering. Here are Aurora Indicas and 2 Cali Connection Pre-98 Bubba Kush BX2. The Bubba's were trimmed below 1 foot about 2 weeks ago and you can see they need a touch up. You can tell the Bubba's because they have their rings around them (great stake for 2 bucks each at WalMart hurrah). No more stealing your neighbor's light! I still need to strip the AI girls and ring them. Then there are my problems in the veg tent. You see I was generous on the clone taking because I assumed I'd lose most of them. Unfortunately, or was it fortunately?, I lost only 2! So now I have many more girls that either need a home or need to be chopped or I suppose I could cut them seriously back. I don't know, we'll see.
Thank you! I feel so much more together than I did back in October. But man is there a LOT to learn. I'm pretty scared about the soilless but I'm sure you guys can help me get through. I just need to figure out a game plan with my extras. It's also so much easier when they are small and you feel all in control LOL! By the time they are 6' tall and 5' wide you feel far less in control HA
Just fyi - The Pro-Tekt is a necessary additive. If you have it you might as well use it I guess, but I wouldn't get more of it when you run out.Here is grow #2 from me
Here's round 2 in soilless OH yes and I changed my nutrients for this as well. I'm testing the Dyna Gro line up. I've got Foliage Pro, Bloom, Grow, Pro Tekt (their silicone) and Botanicare's Cal/Mag as well as a sample of Dyna Gro's Cal/Mag. Can't believe no one at the Hydro store I go to wanted to try the Dyna Gro samples so I hit the jackpot! Oh yes and deferred maintenance is my charcoal canister that still needs hung up to get the exhaust off the plant table. I'm also thinking about a light mover. I actually might have parts I could build one from some of the spares I just need to see what spare motors I have lying about and maybe a piece of aluminum.

Thank you! I felt so proud when it finished that I hadn't killed them. I have tried smoking the dried bud and it gives a headache. I'm hoping the cure fixes that. But I'm not sure.
Thanks I added the Pro-Tekt and for a light I have a 600 Watt HPS. I'm seriously considering pitching plants. OH oh oh that's hard to do.
A 600w light should give you adequate coverage. Normally I'd do a 1k w light per 4x4, but 600 will work just fine. IMO a light mover is excessive.
Great because that is an expense I could do without.
I am so glad I no longer live in that part of the state. The one thing I will never miss from living in the Mojave is the 110-120 days. Allways so miserable.
You are so right! Further electricity has gotten so insanely priced who can afford air conditioning!
The problem is that we have Palmdale Airport, Edwards AFB, Mojave airport and Fox field up here so there is a huge low traffic issue. We are seeing more and more solar panels and the small 25 foot windmills but none of the big ones that can work for a city. I'm so frustrated with the power issue. Hope you are where you no longer need air conditioning in the summer!
Makes life alot easier. Last bill, with a flower room, veg room, mother room, and AC running to everything and my bill was 110$ Down there it would have cost me prolly 250-300. Kinda sad that SCE stoped all their R&D really. When I was in high school there I got to work at Solar 1. While its ineffecient because of when it was built, the idea should be expanded and redone now. The Mojave is really one big power generator if you look at what nature provides there. I am glad it rarely hits 100 here though but i could do without our humidity.
