thanks a lot camaro. btw whats the moisture control for? is there more perlite in it or something?

since its been a couple days.. i have a few pictures i'd like to share with you guys.

i kept these plants in the attic for about 5 days hoping to find a new home for these babies.. but it was getting up in the 110+ in the afternoon so i decided to move them out.. and this is what they look like as of around 1am today

here's erin sept 9



here's kelly sept 9



here's lindsay sept 9



lindsay is growing significantly slower than her sisters. do any of you know how i can help speed up her growth so that she can catch up to her siblings?
thanks in advance

The moisture control has coco peat in it I think. It's one of those things that some people love and others hate. I for one have used MG soil, the "regular" kind, and it worked fine. If that's all you can find it's great, it's not evil like a lot of people make out to be.

However I have noticed much better results when using Fox Farm's Ocean Forrest. The Fox Farm grown plants are growing faster, have tighter node spacing, and are generally more healthy looking.

P.S. Great choice on the Northern Lights. That's my next purchase. NL has been kind of forgotten with all the new fangled brands coming out but it's still around for a reason; it's a damn fine smoke that's easy as hell to grow. It also makes a great base for hybrids.

No, don't flush it before because you want to LIGHTLY flush it after you transplant to make sure there are no dry pockets and all the soil is at the same level of moisture. This will ensure the roots will have no problems transitioning to the new soil.

When you water it you want to use about as much water as your potting container is large. So for a 3 gallon container you would use 3 gallons. Make sure you pour the water over the soil slowly so the water has time to truly permeate the soil and doesn't just run off.

That's how I do it and it's worked well for me. So far I haven't had any transplant shock.

Word to the NL grow. I myself are growing Northern lights in soil starting under cfl's so we should compare note just put them in the water to germinate tonight. check out my grow i already have some plants going.

Mine are NL #5's from British Columbia seed company so we can compare genetics also.

peace & love
