Amen. Growing is fun, and NL is a great strain. Good luck with your next run. .

Welcome to RIU, Nice looking girl. Yes, sun grown herb beats commercial shit, any day of the week. Looks like you did it up proper. .

Just remember, the clones have been used to alot less light, alot less. So, if you're going to put your well rooted clones under a big ass HPS, make sure you have the light at least 2.5 feet (min) above the plants, to avoid shocking or fying them. . Then ease the light down just a inch or two...

That's the best way to do it. I always, start a couple of feet away, and ease my 400 watt MH down. Hardens them off, without shocking them or frying them. .

Don't chop them, don't trim the new growth, or get to freaked out by the one time lights on all day thing. It's no biggie, trust me. You'd have to leave the lights on for weeks to cause the plants to stop flowering and revert back to straight veg growth. . Or do weird out of sync, light cycles...

BadFrog, Some of the Dankest strains on earth, have come from that one special bag seed. So, give it a go. . I think it's wise to start with seeds you don't have big money invested in. There is always a learning curve. . Also if you want to grow on the cheap, go to the Organics threads and look...

If you want to grow plants under 2 feet, you need to start them in a 12/12 lights on / off cycle from the start, with a rich blue light spectrum. . Kushs will stretch very little as a rule. But the key here is to start the (stretch) that comes with flowering earlier, not later. Also consider...

Germ seeds in a moist paper towel, inside a tupperware container or ziplock bag. Out of the light, where temps are a steady 70 degrees F, but not hotter than 87 degrees F. When you see a tap root, carefully place the seed in the hole (root tip down), of an already hydrated peat pellet. The peat...

Looks great for a first go. What strain is she ? .

Even in older lines, there is going to be some variations. So, it's not suprising to see one or two, that look different from the others. .

It's not the worst, nor is it the best. Happy Frog is a step up, or Sunshine Mix. .

Go to Lowes or Home Depot, buy 5 bags of Composted Cow Manure & Humus ($ 1.50 a bag), and one 3.8 cubic foot bag of peat moss. Mix in kiddie pool or on large tarp. Add 5 pounds of worm castings, 1/4 cup of steamed bone meal, 1/4 cup of blood meal, 1 ounce of epsom salt, & 2 small bags of...

^^^ I totally agree. Human shit is just to full of harmful things, not worth the mess or effort, for such a low grade fert. . Those poor people are just super poor and uneducated. Just because they use it, doesn't mean it's a good thing. . People in those countries die at much younger ages from...

It's pretty varible. Good stuff in, good stuff out. . Provide more vegetable matter, you'll promote worm castings with more bacteria in them. . Provide more carbon (paper, cardboard, saw dust from untreated wood) you'll promote worm castings with more fungi. . I have two bins, and feed each...

The best one out of that line up, is rabbit manure. Been using it for years. .

Eggshells provide calcium, used coffee grounds provide some nitrogen, vegetable scrapes provide trace minerals. . All of these are best composted before use. .

This one is easy. Most soil or potting soil mixes are sterilized before being bagged. Even the big name brands. . The better quality ones like FoxFarm OF add in, micro-life after the soil cools, replacing the micro-life killed during the sterilizatoin. But let it set in cold warehouses or in...

I agree water quality is very important. . These days alot of city water systems are using chloramides, which do not evaporate. These chloramides, kill micro-life and require chemical removal or a RO water filtration system, to be removed. . This is one reason I use rainwater, collected in a 50...

Borage is some great stuff. I plant it in my backyard and mix MasterLow and / or Auto AK-47 (rootbound in 1.5 gallon pots, to keep them small / stealth). Each one will do a 1/2, while staying super stealth. .

I mix mine up in a large rubbermaid also. I drilled a bunch of tiny holes in the lid, with the smallest drill bit I had. To allow some air in & CO2 out, as the soil mix cures. I turn it weekly, for three weeks to a month, & sprinkle in some chlorine free water, if it starts to look a little...
