I use the miracle grow potting soil. It says it has 3 months of plant food, do I need to use additional plant food? I haven't used any plant foods ever, is the food in the soil sufficient? Umm if I let the water I water the plants with sit too long, like 4 days+ is it bad to use? sometimes the...

I have heard so much great things about fox farm soil, but theres really no way for me to get it, unless its sold at Walmart, Lowes, or Home Depot, I don't have any method of paying for things on the internet, I don't have a credit card, or paypal, etc. It really sucks being limited like this...

Oh yeah, the Miracle Grow bag says it has 2 months of food... maybe it says 3... its 2 or 3... and my plants start really dieing about 3 weeks in, and are pretty much dead a week later... does the plant food in the miracle grow not work or something?

Aight maybe that could be the problem, I haven't fed them at all... I will look into it. I liked Miracle Grow way better than the other soils I have seen, just because of its consistency and it has perlite and stuff, it would be awesome if I got my grow to work with it. I will get Peterson's...

Thanks for the reply. I really have no way to test the pH, is there any pH testing kits available at Walmart or something? The pH of the soil is probably too acidic, miracle grows pH is around 5.5 out of the bag. I haven't done anything with the soil or water to adjust the pH. I am unable to...

Yeah, originally I was planning on just killing 2 of them, I only planted 3 because I had 2 extra germinated seeds, no reason to waste... but then I left them, and now, they are the only decent looking ones... and since its now almost been 20 days, I would feel bad killing 2 of them, when they...

Sorry I have been so lazy with the pictures... I guess its just because my plants are nothing to waste time looking at haha :-?. The cup with 3 sprouts is doing the best outta everything, I really don't want to kill any of them off :cry:... I may just keep all 3, transplant to a really big...

I am an idiot, and didn't listen when people said miracle grow was bad, it was my first grow, and I bought 2-3 bags of miracle grow potting soil [this was a bit before last summer]. I use CFL's as well, theres plenty of light, trust me, light is one thing I am sure is not the issue. The entire...

I still haven't had the chance to get them, just got some pretty decent snow and its real bad out haha. Still got the CFLs, but its looking better... I sealed all the light in from the front, so besides some small cracks its mostly getting out of the back now. Alpha is officially dead, I...

hmm, the three sprouts in one cup are doing very well, better than any of the other plants... makes me really think miracle grow is the problem with the plants doing the droop after about 2-3 weeks. The other sprouts have started to droop and do the same exact thing every single plant I have put...

Awesome, I couldn't find it on the walmart website though, I will check the store next time I go. The one at Home Depot looks pretty nice too though, 6 1/2 in reflector, and it has the chain and everything included, its 4ft long as well, and supports 2 40w tubes. hopefully with this new method...

So the T-12 thing at walmart is only $12? then $4 on bulbs so I am looking at $16, how big is it? I could definitely afford that. My closet is pretty big, about 10ft long (currently like 5ft long since the entire back is packed with junk, and 3-4ft wide, the ceiling has a pretty steep slope...

Haha thanks, I really hope I do grow successful that would be amazing haha. I really want to clean my closet... but its all stuff I cant throw away, and I dont want to go to the basement, and my rooms already packed... so the best I could do is rearrange it somehow to make a lot more room... I...

Yeah I understand that, I was really hesitant to even let anyone know what I was doing... haha my first grow was in my closet for a few months until any of my friends found out about it, and I have a few that are over here every day. but the friend I was talking about I have known wayyy back...

Yeah, I will look into the t-12, that sounds perfect. I probably couldn't drive somewhere like that though... I have never even heard of a hydro store except from people talking about them on here... so I doubt there is one remotely around here, and I pretty much have to be guided by someone...

For the first time in since the first few days of the grow I missed a picture [on purpose, because I didn't feel like taking dead plant pics :P]... so it was yesterdays pics missed, I still didnt show the ones I took the day before, so its been 2 days without pics posted... tonight I will be...

Errr I think Betas going to die soon too... I think the time release nutes and shit is releasing and killing them... fuck it. I will give it one more go... I will buy new bulbs that I am 100% sure are in the blue spectrum or get some tubes or t5s or something... does Lowes sell T5's? I just...

How much does it cost? does the tubes provide a lot more light?

Shit Chi is completely drooping, has been since I first checked yesterday... like every leaf straight down and dead, theres no question that every leaf below its top is dead... but now its few leafs that looked decent completely drooping and dieing... WTF WTF WTF. It was doing fine and I really...

I wouldnt think there would be much leakage with soil in 2 milk jugs hot glued and duct taped together, especially since all it would contain is moist soil, and it would have drainage at the bottom, and would be nicely sized... maybe just 1 milk jug? 1 milk jug and raise it a little so its about...
