Im not going to do anything fancy with it just add nutes when needed and change res out every week i ONLY add straight water when res is low between res changes and i never add water from the top if you do you tend to get root rot that and if you dont get your nutes dissolved all the way or spill some on the roots. Some other simple things it really dont take much ta do dro just got to have the basics and stick to them. I might even change every few days with this small of a res.

Its a yogurt container flexes less:-) Thanks my man i have two of the coffee containers for easy res changes makes things run a lot smoother just be slow when moving around the roots and your fine. I might even put another pump in the box get even more air into it but well see the one im running is kinda weak. We'll see if she takes but this is what i did before when doing hydro just took them from soil just have to be careful when placing in the clay balls trick to most hydro maintenance is just take your time.

Thanks buddy thats was achieved by LSTing the top so the side branches could catch up then releasing it also i pull my branches down away from the center of the plant and cut all fan leafs that point toward the center to give the middle of my plant more light i have like over 20 tops from doing this but about 10 main tops. thanks fort he kind words my man!

So im thinking the dro took check out the newest growth and how much the roots dropped also im am now NOT a fam of fem seeds they grow hella slow the one in the top middle is a triploid thats the DNA sour cream i played hell with getting out of her shell. I had to crack it myself due to the fact the tap root grew into the shell then buldging out so the tip was still in the shell but at the base of the tap root was bulging out removed shell fixed tap root and replaced the shell planting her half inch under soil. I just about always help my seeds but most of the time its only poking the shell off or slicing a end of the seed open this was a bit of extreme doctoring but she's alive and wouldn't be if i didn't step in and help her.IMG_2080.jpgIMG_2079.jpgIMG_2081.jpg

Hahhaah for sure

So 2 GHS WW cuttings taken last night seem to be doing good cross your fingers they root:-) If they do i will veg them for about a week or until i see fit but im going to try to achieve single cola plants in either one gallon pots or 2 liter pop bottles. Also i transplanted 2 of my seedlings into FF OF a day or so ago they seem to have taken but i didn't check this morning yet been messing around in my veg cab. I splashed some of my light superthrive mix in the dro yesterday when the res ran low and today the tap thickened over night and dropped another few inches yeah buddy. Soon i will start my nutrients at a extremely low dosage and go from there. I cleared out my front year of anything that was infetted with PM and im going out here tonight to spray the fuck out of everything with azamax everything is going good on the inside garden;-)

im a new grower, can i use normal cfl bulbs to grow 2 plants?
Yes you can ,

use the 6500k for veg and the 2700k for flower ,

You can go to lowes and get like a 6 pk of the 6500k for about 8 bucks my man


Slim

If i can smell it you know those teenagers that live beside you can smell it ,

Transplanted the following into 1 gallon pots and Fox Farm Ocean Forest Soil.
TH SEEDS BURMESE KUSH
DNA SOUR CREAM
And I transplanted my Dinafem Critical + a day or two ago into a gallon pot with FF OF as well.
Still waiting on my Dinafem Original Amnesia to grow a little bit more then into a 1 gallon pot with FF OF.
I also transplanted 2 of my bagseed into 2 liter pop bottles with FF OF soil so i have 2 bagseed just waiting to go into 2 litters.
Changed my hydro res to a larger folgers container the larger red ones and i fed her with light nutrients also ive been topping of my res with a light superthrive mix when it runs low.
My Clones i took of the WW seem to be doing fine they are a few days old now and still perky so they might just root/take

Other then that not much is going on besides the WW i think is done with its stretch and is starting to build heads on her tops and throwing more pistils hope to see buds forming in the next week or so.

Hope everyone is staying green and thanks for stopping by I'll do a pic update in like a week to show progress PM me if you need any help you know me im always willing to share knowledge.
