just re-read the 1st post and saw ur using a 400 watt HPS.. soo that answers my lightin question. cant wait to start using it!!!!!!!!!

DAY 92 of 12/12:

yesterday I harvested the other Soma:




I still have the 3rd one in the flowering room along with the Sage'n'Sour and girls from my new grow:




I also get 3 Master Kush clones yesterdat and they're doing great in the vegging room:

@ tlsdrm73, I just have the output plastic tube scotch-taped to the back of my circulation fan.

@chb, thanks for the rep and positivity!

1) I use a blue spectrum horticultural 150w CFL for veg and a 400w HPS for flower.
2) It's from the Big Book of Buds by Ed Rosenthal. They're up to volume 4 now though I much prefer Jason King's Cannabible books. The reviews are way more honest. Ed's sound like ads for the seeds company, but they still give you a good idea about the strain.

any idea on the yireld from any of the plantsd. im gonna be getitn sum Ice seeds in a week or 2.

The ice never made it they were infested with spider-mites and never got that big.

Definitely better suited for a SOG/SCROG style of growing.

any numbers on your harvest yet? how tall did the plants actually get? and how much did you have to purchase refills for the co2 bucket? and how much did you think it helped over all.

also, i just wanna say that this is the best looking plants for what they are...the colas are perfectly shaped and dense all the way through. the fact that your trimming per plant probably took less than half an hour due to barely any leaves reaching the outsides of the buds. this is the only grow that ive followed closely like this. so all in all...great work...i hope to be the grower you are...efficient.

which brings me to this...i don't have access or knowledge to use ALL of the elements you use in your operation. im having trouble grasping how organic soils work. is there any way you can give me just a basic summary of what i really should be doing while growing? i've spent hours upon hours reading information on the internet but i just can't get a good hold on whats goin on. cuz my grow did NOT turn out like expected. maybe its pH issues idk...but any and all help would be great...

kinda embarrased to be askin all this but...ya kno...had to try

stay warm over there!!

update or smoke report on S.S?
