sweet man. everything seems to be going damn smoothly! looking forward to seeing the tent!
Me too bro! lol
Now I am little nervous about the way we water the plants because I have read other sites saying that it's optimal to obtain a 30% run-off. I don't water each one of them THAT much but when they do seem dry I probably spritz water in each peat pot about 10 - 15 times.

that's only referring to when you have proper plants in proper big pots! not the peat pots. they'll be fine with a little bit of runoff.

I hardly remember that feeling after a decade. I do remember it faintly. i haven got excited about dope in a while. until i started to get into breeding (shortly before i joined riu)... thats the first true excitement in probably 3 years

annnd im going to obtain some xoi... mmmmm, had it yesterday to. im not going to the breakfast cafe anymore because i ditched the girl who works there. shes into weird sex (she wants it up the ass, i dont do that. ever). im not into sexualy deviant behavior (or at least thats how i view assfucking), so i told her not to call me again. after she asked for that a few times, it was over. and theres a really beautiful vietnamese woman who works at the vietnamese resteraunt. Shes 16 years older than me but thats never stopped me in the past. my mentor is 22 years older than me and i used to enjoy a intamite relationship with her on occasion. all of my buddies thought i was learning from her to get close and get sex. that deffinitly wasnt my intention, but i studied under her for 4 years and we lived together for another 4. Im a big drinker, amd she liked wine on hollidays so it just went down that road. plus we sharred a tiny one bedroom appartment in vancouver (cost of living is high), so we were always in close Proximity.

I always figure its better to be into older girls than younger ones. I never like having sex with girls younger than me. they have no idea what they are doing, and i dont like thier attitudes.older girls know all the tricks that feel really good.

Very informative Kushhound, lol.

In other news, I purchased a pH reader along with a humidity reader. They are both digital readers and don't work. I have to return them to Home Depot tomorrow. They stay stuck at their default readings and don't change. Moisture was at 0.0 and pH was at 7.0. That is not the real readings, I wonder if it has issues with my soil?

Lol i like to talk alot on this thing. cant help myself.

On grow related topics, lose the humidity dome. Those are seedling killers. strait up.

the runoff buisness, thats really who you ask. i give the pots what they need and and flush them every few waterings. but i grow organic. this is not recomended with chemmies.

If you are growing in a tent you will have to regularly check temps and humidity. if you fuck around with that you can kill your whole batch.

lol the digital shit is crap. Buy ph papers and analog shit. i dont use digital scales, digital anything cause it all blows balls.


sorry to jack your thread with sextalk and shit. lol ill keep it on topic...

wish i could help you there. i've not been able to afford either of the two. just been playing it by sight. and did the fizzle test for the soil. i'll definitely be investing in them when i finally have my own grow tent... i'm so glad that i haven't run into many problems. just remember not to worry about things too much , after all, weed is a weed! they grow pretty well as long as you get the basics right!

Also, look what arrived!!!

GrowTent.jpg

I'm still using the temporary light set up until I get my other lights from Amazon. One of the seedlings started to sprout but after I moistened the soil it blended in with the raised crack so I couldn't get a good pic. I have to wait until she is coming out a bit more.

Now I have more questions, lol. Should I keep the tent zipped up at this phase or should I wait until they are potted? I noticed that the temperature dropped 3 degrees Celsius so I did zip it up.

When do I need ventilation? Does the environment now change because they are enclosed inside a tent? I'm just a bit nervous and anxious... although I must be doing something right if the seedling is spouting!!!

Ur tent should be closed unless its in a environment not disrupted by people dogs etc. u want those babies dancin from air circulation ( fans). Do you have a instrument to measure your room vitals (temp,Co2 ppm,humidity)etc.?

They are on order and the tent is open for now, the temp is a perfect 22 degrees Celcius. When I get my hygrometer I will be able to measure humidity. The plants are in the basement with little to no movement around them. She is growing fast!!!!

As for circulation, I can put a window fan at one end of the room and aim it toward the tent?
