Quick update : I transplanted my cotton candy to a 3 gallon air pot on 4/6/12.. When I went to the hydro shop to buy 3 new air pots.. The guy ended up sellin me something called "sea minerals" from bloom advanced floriculture .. So instead of leaving with 3 new air pots, I left with one new air pot & sea minerals smh.. But anyway the plants have all grown. The glp & the ww are 6 inches, & the cotton candy is about 13-14 inches tall.. I also did something that went against the advice of some of the growers on this thread.. I took more clones.. I know I should wait until two months from seed but the renovations on my house are coming along and my flower room will be ready probably in a week or so, in which time I will begin flowering so I felt I had to take clones now .. I took 1 ww clone & two cc clones... The 1st batch of clones I took look pretty damn good btw, can't tell if they rooted cuz their in jiffy cups tho (new grower mistake) so now I have to wait extra long just to make sure they rooted. So this is the reason on this second batch of clones I just took I used clear party cups for the cotton candy & for the white widow I used a big plastic container that the Chineese people give you the free iced tea in when u order Chineese food, I'm not sure if it's a quart or a pint tho I suck when it comes to all that metric system crap (then again, I'm not even sure if it's the metric system we use in the USA., I should prob take my azz back to school) but I digress... I also began feeding again , I resumed all the previous nutrients I was using (big bloom, grow big, cal-mag) but this time I also used the sea minerals that I bought & a tiny drop of superthrive.. My plants loved it !!! (atleast i think they did) Idk if they are just bigger now & can handle nutes.. But no more yellowing leaves! So I'm happy with the sea minerals bcuz I think it worked.. But I did check the ph of my soil after feeding . The cc was 5.4 glp 6.2 & ww 5.8.. Very low I know!! But I have no water ph tester (too expensive, i will get one but when I have the $, don't want a cheap one) should I get ph up?? But how much to use ??? Especially with no water ph tester.. Should I get litmus paper?? Idk, as long plants look good I guess, & I checked them again today .. Two days after feeding and all soil ph jumped back to between 6.5 & 6.8.. So I guess that's a good sign... Pics coming Soon, tonight or tomorrow

Oh, & also my friend that I convinced to get some beans.. They are still sittin in the isc.. It's Been 10 days .. I think only 6 or 7 business days but he still didn't get em & now were both gettin paranoid .. They been sittin in the isc since thursdary. I know yesterday was Easter but still... This is my 4th order (well this one technically isnt mine, feels like it though, plus I would feel extra bad if it didn't come after convincing my boy who was extremely hesitant) but I thought I would still b more calm about this by now.. Guess not.. Lol, when does this get easier??? Lol

Another thing... Yesterday it said stranger next to my name & now it says learning how to roll a blunt.. I appreciate the recognition but who is in charge of saying how advanced I am.. I'm not sure I get exactly how this works... Did someone give me rep, because I did see I somehow have 10 rep points all of the sudden, or is everyone started with 10 rep points??? Any help on this would also be appreciated .. And 4 the record... I been knew how to roll a blunt, I'm from da hood.. We learn that right after potty training Lol, I'm just learning to grow my own.. Now that's more accurate!!! Just bustin balls out here (love when white ppl say that lol)

1 more thing.. This is completely irrelevant but while I'm thinking bout it I'll ask, who has the best videos/grow updates on YouTube.. Not people who just have a slideshow of pics, but people who talk & explain their grow methods, techniques & strains .. Basically people who are informative and people I can learn from .. I already have a few favorites.. Northweststunner.. (idky but he's straight to the point and my fav) .. Urbanretard is cool (has great stuff & massive grows but a little annoying at times) 123kookush is good (he a hood dude) always good to see that, I like misstechnics (something bout a lady grower that is sexy to me) kocfkocf (crazy name I kno.. But this kid is the funniest kid ever!! He said his weed smelled like "fruity pebbles & Jesus.. & said his other bud smelled like rumplesteelskins a**hole lol..gotta see it for yourself) herbanlegendz is cool & I also found a new dude today named chikipollo he's aight.. If any of you have suggestions on people your subscribed to on YouTube let me know.. & also if you have your own grow updates let me know.

Hey Sims i had to check back in your grow is looking good man your gonna be smoking that bomb white people fire in no time. Those plants you topped its best to wait a few weeks and let them grow to atleast 6 inches and recover before you put them into flower or it will be a dissapointing branch that wont produce much and hurt your harvest but your clones are looking good so your set man i will keep checking in see how your doing im getting ready for the outdoor grow up North here got my greenhouse set up just gotta go out finish it up and leave a hygrometer in there overnight to see what them temps get down to at night keep it up tho man good work
