I'm Ready- Blue OG, White Lavender, OG #18, and Sour Kush.

100 degrees over the next couple days. A/C is running, running, and running.

I think you're right about the explosion of growth Prosperian, they should pick up after the Xplant calms them down I think. Either ways I like the ease of Xplant with the velcro and folding flat of the pot like that. Pretty cool. Peace out.

Yes, the Velcro pots worked out very well. Simple idea, but very nice. I checked on the plants this morning and they are looking good. Leaves have stopped drooping and I have more new growth since the transplant. Think they are happy for the moment and with the transplant of the fresh hot soil, I shouldn't have to feed for a while. I might even make it to my final 5 gal. transplant without additional feedings. Wouldn't that be nice!

Awesome, Thanks. I will probably get some on order before my next transplant. I thought I lost my Strawberry Dream clone this weekend, ended up switching from LED to CFL if you believe and that seemed to pull it back and it is flourishing now.

Checked out your thread. It would be nice to pick up clones at my local dispensary, if I had one.

Yeah was very odd. I had 2x42W CFL and a 90W LED on her and she was looking horrible. I switched off the CFLs thinking maybe heat or too much light for a cutting but just continued to look saggy, droopy and lost a leaf. I then switched off the LED and she perked up within a few hours. I have since switched to MH last night and can see the difference after 8 hours.

I lost a clone on my last grow also, just never seemed to grow at all and I now wander if it was from the LED.

Im thinking coincidence

6 WEEK UPDATE

Haven't added any bottled nutes to this grow. They are living off the potting soil and water. Love it!


Blue OG on the left bag seed on the right. Both were topped at 2nd node. Can really see the spit main stems.


Another pic of the Blue OG. Really likes the hot Roots Organics soil. Green, green, green.


Hope this bag seed is female. She's a fast grower.


Brought in the "Big Boy" floor fan. Moves a lot of air from down below.
Plants look small in the 3-gal containers but they're making good gains in stems and branches.

looking good! i like the look of the bagseed!

Looks great Pros. I can't wait to see how the bagseed turns out. If I were a seed, I'd be bagseed. Great work bro. I have a blue og running too. 5 weeks old. I pooped it on 5/19. Take care bro.

blueberry og/chemdawg..i can only imagine..

Looking real good. I'm currently gathering supplys for my next grow and was thinking about switching to smart pots. Your transplant pics convinced me. Thanks for that. I love your set-up,so neat,so clean. What are the dimensions of that closet?

Pros makes us all look like slobs with his setup The fabric pots are great and the ones with Velcro seem even better. I just ordered some seeds from seaofseads.com and some new geopots with velcro myself.

Cool, here is the link. http://geopot.com/ I buy direct from the manufacturer. They have fast shipping and I've ordered from them a couple of times. I think the pic of my transplant with the container walls laid flat says it all, easy.

My grow closet is 2' X 3' X 10'

Thanks for the complements. I enjoy a clean environment, the plants like it too, maybe? I would like to think so...

I'm an equal opportunity grower. Bag seed, designer seed, bird seed, if it will grow bud... I will give it a try! I sometimes forget these six plants were FREE! Free seeds are the best!

Blue OG: A cross between a Blueberry F3, Blue Moonshine, and a potent Kush/Thai Indica hybrid OG Kush.

I already got on him for making my closet look like shit.

you need a big drain tray for the cloth pots..they are nice though..auto prune too..keeps the plants busy..that is if youre not burning em all day everyday with nutes LOL. i would get trays soon so you can water properly when they take over that new comfy home.

i actually like scotts soil texture a lot, just dont like the high slow release micronutes in it..cal mag sulfur iron burned my blackout kush and thc bomb really stunted thc bomb cause she was hurtin in the strech.


i also got gardeners gold organic soil with sea compost and stuff..not as good texture as scotts. i used espoma, really good but so pricey, fuck that im not payin more than $7 a cu ft for soil. now i use harvest organic potting soil. good texture, low nutes just from chicken litter and i can mix my own soil without stressing em out. its also cheap at lowes

just smoked some of that chemdiesel..fire power man..left 12 weeks from pistil, smooth as butter, but blackout kush is gonna be even better cause im flushing properly. flushing until the sugar leaves turn light. ive seen some crazy colors on peopls plants when they burn them, so many lockouts but yet strong plants

for all you fox farm lovers, this soil is not as hot as that stuff, so you gotta start your own nutes in 3-4 weeks from seed. i bet this shit is made by monsanto lmao, it has the same texture (and some wood chips lolol) like miracle gro but roots like the stuff, i cant deny it! 50:50 compost to peat seems to be better than high peat:compost

http://www.lowes.com/pd_385540-79138-ORGPM32H_0__?productId=3692380&Ntt=potting+soil+prices&pl=1&currentURL=?Ntt=potting+soil+prices&facetInfo=

if not this i suggest scotts premium potting mix, awesome texture, compost, some peat, some perlite and .05 .05 .05 plus micronute slow release, but not fully organic.

btw none of fox farms is organic besides the big bloom. same with general hydro. they use same synthetics as scotts, might as well pay less for scotts. i just got some biobizz stuff to replace stinky fish emulsion for indoors. its molasses and sea kelp based.

Yeah, it wouldn't be a good idea to let water drain into my floor fan. If you look close at this pic you will see shelf arms under the wire shelf.

Those brackets hold my 3ft. drain pans when I water. I move them out after watering for air flow. Adjustable shelf brackets are very flexible and I'm glad I went this direction in design.

You just started with the big fan right? Do you know if having it down there dries out your soil quicker?

I've been using floor fans without plant saucers and air pots for about three weeks now. Yes, the soil dries out faster with the air coming from under and on the sides of the fabric pots. Sometimes, when I'm breaking up clumps or checking moisture in the soil, if any soil falls over the rim, it floats up in the air flow and catches me by surprise.

I've also noticed a 2-3 degree drop in temps with wet air pots. The evaporation is cooling things off for a day or two.

ahh..sweet. its time to soak the pots, then let them dry if youre not already. they are messy though, ive seen my boy water his. he does it in a kiddie pool lol

I just water them like any other pot right on the shelf. Slow steady pour in a spiral until I see just a little coming out of the bottom. I watered 2 days ago and this morning still moist about 2 inches down. Probably go another day or two before next water. I have just over 3 cu. ft. of soil sitting in those containers just in case anyone was wondering. I have another 3 cu. ft. cooking in a plastic container for the final transplant before flower.
