Hey Slipon, lookin' real good boss. When are you going to start the Skunk#1? I've been dying to see someone grow that with LEDs. Seedsmans too, good choice Slip.

well I will harvest them LSD in 4-5 weeks time and then I have a new batch going in, but after that, so I will start em in 3-4 weeks time I guess, and veg em under my T5HOs for +8 week`s

yep, I grow in organic soil from my local nursery mixed with 20% coco or perlite ( what ever is at hand) to make it light and some dry Bat Guano mixed in, also add a table spoon or Mearl (Oceanic Lime) to get the PH up from 5,5-6 to 6,2-7

don't really use the blood/bone meal anymore, fresh soil and a few repots doing veg seem`s to be enough, tho I have a small bottle of alge grow (organic veg nuts made on seaweed) if I see signs of a decency (mostly first in the stretch) Ooh yea and I also have a big bag of epsom salt beside the sink, as they love Mg, but yea best results for me have been with the Bat guano I also have some liquid Bat guano tea that is high in N and K to add to the dry that is high in P and trace elements so a few times doing flowering I give em a bit of that, like I finish em on Molasses

and since I still have a bottle of super thrive from I started growing I use it when I repot or have problems, like I also have a bottle of H2O2 in the fridges if I have problems with overwatering (better safe then sorry)

day 34, Bud`s is filling in nicely, have two different Pheno`s agin this time, can´t figure out witch one I like the best

the more Indica like with big hard top`s that finish a week early, or the more sativa dominated one witch take a week longer but also yield 10-20% more, a bit less compact, but as the LSD do grow pretty compact and potent Bud`s they are not flimsy at all and as strong as the Indica dominated one, guess I like em both and cool to have both agin this time, then I get some great early smoke and some good yield a week later, and I can also split up the trimming, win/win :D

Ventilation is one thing I didn't skimp on when making the decision to start indoor growing. I have zero smell in this house, but it costs money!

I don't understand how these guys starting growing stinky plants when they haven't thought through the odor issue. Pot heads!

I guess that's why we hear about them getting busted :eyesmoke:

yea well it can be hard to imagine how much just a small plant or two can stink up the hole place, I must admit I was one of them pothead`s well I knew it might become a "problem" so even tho I got cool neighbors I had to go a buy a filter early on, but way before it become a real problem and more for my own sake as I did`t want to live the the odor and the filter did serve me well for over a year, but with the knowledge's I now have I paid the 20$ more when I had to replace it to get a bigger filter of top quality also to keep the ventilation as smooth as possible

Yeah ventilation is not cheap and I guess if you have never grown cannabis how would you know other than reading and watching videos, and half that stuff isn't right most the time. But until you experience it first hand, whew, it can get really ripe and stinky. My wife has never liked the smell so it was the #1 priority for me, NO SMELL, EVER. When I had the negative pressure issues early this grow, I had her wrath come down on me like a brick. Lol

lol yea I dont have that problem (a wife) but I also had a feeling I at some point had to get the filter in order, I just began to grow like most, with 2 small plants under some fluorescent and did take it from there adding on the stuff I needed as I learned and gained experience and money to trow at it, when I found that even two small Veg plants could make my apartment smell and I found that I did need a big HPS (did`t had money for LEDs at the time) I made my grow room and got it all in order, one thing I did learn early on, is that you cant do this half, you can do it on a small scale, but you need some basic elements to make a grow environment that can grow dank indoors
