wow, keep up the good work. Next time you going to invest in fox farm 3 part package? the tiger bloom seems to doing it's job.
Also you balance your pH or do you use filtered/distiled water?

I use Big Bloom/Tiger bloom every other feeding.

I just fill a gallon jug with tap water and let it sit between each feeding. This allows the chlorine to evaporate ( can cause nute lock if not done for those who don't do this).
I also keep my PH between 6.3-6.5 the plants seem to like it like this. I always check the PH after I add the tiger bloom and before I add the Big Bloom. Tiger bloom drops the PH way down and Big Bloom doesn't change it at all.

The hairs are growing like crazy and since the pictures she has stretched another 3 inches. My closet is filling up. :)

More pictures soon!!

This is my second grow. Welcome to my flowering journal!!!!!! Details below

Closet is 4x3
Mylar On all walls including door
I actually vegged this plant outside on my balcony not thinking the plant would grow. I then started topping it as an experiment because I didn't think it would be female anyways. Because of abnormal weather it has been raining through June and the plant showed its sex.

I'M A WINNER!!!

It has been 2 months since it was planted and I decided to go 12/12 6 days ago when it hit 15 inches.

In the top pic you can see my starting set up. currently I have

3x 65 watt 2700k
6x 42 watt 2700/6xxxk

Fox Farms some kind of soil
TigerBloom Nutes

1st pic is from 6/9/10

I'm curious how strong are you mixing the big bloom and tiger bloom? I'm mixing 1 tablespoon per gallon of b/b right now and plan on picking up the tiger bloom. Also when did you start using the tiger bloom? Thanks.

The Girls are looking mighty fine btw!!
