Yesss I smell pot in my closet now, the entire first grow with 2 plants over 2 months old, no smell whatsoever, this one, I dont know which ones smelling probably Beta, but everytime I move my nose over a hole in the setup and sniff I can barely smell a strong pot scent. Temps have been a bit...

The new plants still haven't sprouted, its been about 36 hours, so they should be sprouted tomm, and I still haven't got the floro yet -_-, I will figure something out though. Beta is starting to grow faster, starting the 2nd nodes on both heads. I nuted 1 L of water with 1 drop [box says 7...

Thats exactly correct, you would need the soda water air tight, but there would have to be an opening somewhere for the pump to work, otherwise theres a vacuum, if there was an opening it would go flat... I have a different idea, one tube leading out of the soda water container near the bottom...

Day 33 - 1/21/8 - Beta Day 21 - 1/21/8 - Unnamed smaller plants I watered Beta, and one of the sprouts with slightly nuted water [10-15-10], and the pot with 3 plants in it didnt get fully watered I ran outta water -_-. The first picture is of the 8 new seeds I planted today, 4 in sta green...

I think the probe takes some work to get it to get a reading other than 7... I have finally got it to measure differently at different spots in the soil... I think the problem is my pH is 6.9-7 in all the soil thats been watered, because my water has a pH of 7.0, I don't know, I may just be...

I bought a $5 pH meter at Lowes, a Mosser Lee Standard pH meter, it is not electronic. It is basically just a probe that you stick in the soil, your supposed to clean it, then stick it in the soil and take a reading in 60 seconds. The meter balances at 7.0, which is t he middle, goes down to 3...

Nope, its just a pH meter, 1 metal probe... and I really can't get it to work... I got the gauge to move a little bit, I stuck it in the soil waited a minute and watered it and the pH went from about 7.1 to about 7, not a huge difference but it definitely moved... I am going to add a fair amount...

Inside under the hood about 11... maybe 12, one of the CFLs is a 40w, the others are 26watters. I have made an effort to keep all the light under the hood, so a lot more light is staying inside now, instead of having the back and front both open, but I still do want to redesign it. I really...

I bought new supplies today and Shultz plant food, its 10-15-10, a bottle of it, says 7 drops per qt, so I will try starting with 2. I have a pH meter and I will test the pH of everything... but I am not sure how well the meter will work, it has no batterys, and supposedly you just clean the...

Alright just got back from Lowes, finally found the full gardening center haha... *I got a pH meter, non battery powered - I think I remember saying not to get the ones that don't use batterys but eh its the first pH meter I have EVER seen, I had to get it. I will measure the pH of all the...

Wow Beta actually made progress in the last ehh 7 hours since I checked on it... its definitely doing well, the leafs growing between the nodes near the bottom where old leafs died is great, it will make Beta look a lot better, and thankfully those leafs are growing healthy. Its top leafs are...

Chi has died. That makes 2 out of 3 of the first set of plants gone. Beta looks like its doing well. I transplanted the sprouts that were in 1 cup. Day 32 - 1/20/8 - Beta Day 20 - 1/20/8 - Unnamed smaller plants

I transplanted the 3 sprouts that were in one cup, its now in a pot about the same size as the others, I used miracle grow just because thats what its been in and there hasn't been a problem with those so far. This was one of the better transplants, I used a razor and cut the bottom of the cup...

I really don't like ebay at all, something about buying used things from random people... if a place like HTGS took money orders that would be awesome, do they? The last few days it has been maxing at 81... I measure temperatures right near the lights btw, like a few inches away. They drop to...

Yeah the food is for the plants I already have, 5 are 3 weeks old, and 2 of them are a month old, I am planning on starting 1/4 strength of whatever the package says.

Haha yeah I guess I have come a long way, I think I would be a bit less frustrated if this grow wasn't turning out a hundred times worse than my last, and a hundred times slower. and I cant imagine what I would have done without the help here haha, take a look at my attachments, this was my...

Well, I just watered Beta and Chi, Ch is not looking well at all... soon it will be the second of a long line of dead plants. I think I have a pH problem, MG soil starts off low, and I have done absolutely nothing to adjust it. I read the root stunting and slow growth is caused by a low pH, and...

I have another thing I forgot about I haven't done anything to adjust the pH of the soil, isn't MG's pH about 5.0 out of the bag? I really have no way to test pH, but how could I raise it just slightly? I heard baking soda in the water would set a neutral pH. Should I mix a pinch in with the...

Alright thanks a lot, more information on feeding and a schedule and how much etc would be greatly appreciated, I am gonna do some searching too. I should be going to Lowes this weekend and I will get the Peterson's Plant food. So the plant food is just mixed in with the water? Should I start...

Looks like I was wrong... the one guy at the start posted so much stuff about how impossible it was to grow in miracle grow, and that I was wasting my time. I got some input from others, and looks like I should be fine with MG. Sooo I really dont know what I am doing wrong. I guess I will see...
