Newb Growing for Gold!

Now here is P's plants.

Just wanted to show you where he is at.

His plants are WAY ahead of mine!

He has been doing a soil grow vs. my hydro grow. His sensi star and critical mass are well ahead of mine which is more than likely due to my starving/burning my plants ealry on. I am hoping they will catch up but his are just too far ahead I think.

I am having some issues with either pests or definciecies and I will post those pics in another post. Hopefully I can solve these soon since I am beginning to become worried...

Well everybody it has been a while so I just wanted to update you all on my overall progress.

Over the last few days I decided to make some major upgrades to my veggie room. Since Critical Mass strains are becoming hard to come by and cannot currently be ordered, I have decided to increase the size and usability of my veggy room to be able to support more clones and to house mothers.

Originally I had a 2 X2 tray with a similiar sized CFL array and I decided to get a 2 X 4 tray with two 4' CFL arrays. I did this so that I would be able to adjust to light sources individually (one for moms and one for clones). I went ahead and used the Sun Blaze 44 which runs at 216 watts each. Each array has 4 cool white bulbs.

Here is a tight shot of the critical mass seedlings:

I had to remove one of the critical mass seedlings because it caught some stem root and was falling over. I didin't want to risk as disease spreading so it removed her. I also did an experiment to see how the sensi star clones would react to massive nute burn. I then flushed them and am now practicing bringing them back. I trimed off a lot of the dead foliage and I think that they may be doing better.

You can see them here:

I set aside 3 five gallon buckets to use for mothers. I took the 2 best critical mass seedlins and transplanted them. I will have to sex them later but I think that I am all good. I left the 3rd bucket empty because I am not 100 % sure if I want to have 3 moms of the same breed or not. I was think about germinating a Medicine Man seed and keeping it as a mom but I have yet to make up my mind.

Here are the 2 moms:

I will get you guys flower room pics in the next post.

My flower room has been doing GREAT! Plants in there has been getting huge!!!!

My largest is over 16 inches now. All plants seem to be healthy and growing. My roots have been dropping like crazy but I couldn't get any pics becuase I can't hold up the bucket and use the camera at the same time so for now you will have to take my word on it.

I switched them to their new nutes for flowering and there little if any ill effects.
