oh kool! happy growing to you CASEY

today is day 62 and things are going good, buds are budding and looking great, the smell is unreal when the lights go off, but i love it, LoL. day 10 and i put the clones in the soil today. i took a knife and made slits in the mesh like covering on the peat pellets and set them in the soil and gave them some water. lets hope they make it.

haha, well quite frankly your getting some HUGE nuggs compared to when i used CFLs. deffinatly doing a good job on them =]
but yea forrsure man, tht pink would be crazy tempting haha

ah finally!
got my big crop a rolln =]
pics r from last nigh, all the clones are really perky, text-book relaxed leaves
but now the painful wait begins... lol




and the new reflector! only $65

I know this has prob already been mentioned a couple times but I can't seem to find it.
Anyone got a ghetto soil mix that I could use for my next grow? I'm look for stuff that I could just go to a local super store (i.e. home depot, lowes, etc) and buy, seeing as I live in a small town with no hydro store and I don't want to pay $50 bucks to ship some FF or promix out to my house every grow.
Anyone got any ideas or maybe a formula I could use. Right now I use just plain store bought peat moss, perilite, and vermiculite mix, but it seems like on every grow I get some type of def going on and the only thing I can think of is my soil.....

Haha these are all awesome! I once had a ghetto grow inside, but I moved everything outside. However, where I have them now is pretty ghetto, so I guess some things never change!

rob, ive been using this for a couple grows now and it seems to work fine. walgreens has it, 2 bags for $3, it has no nutes in it, just black soil, some peat/bark, and some perlite. my girls like it.

Nice thats what I'm talking about man.
I've been trying to find some perilite with no nutes in it now. They don't seem to have any at home depot.....

In the past 10 days the plants have fattened up nicely and the smaller of the two is almost out growing the bigger one in buds. I'm still having a problem with the bigger ones leaves browning with speckles..
Sorry.. Cell phone pics.

I dunno, they look pretty crisp and clear to me, so don't apologize! Ha. Also, your plants are looking great!

Also, while I'm here. In my impatience to have more than just the one plant growing I germinated and planted five seeds into little solo cups. A little experiment with 12/12 from seed, while my other plant is continuing to flower. haha.

dam, those girls look great kira!!

nice concord, those buds are looking good so far.

yeah kira, theyre coming along nicely. glad you re-potted them. brown specs.. could be bugs maybe?

I don't think it's bugs because it's only on the one plant and both of them sit against each other. I'm not sure what the hell it is..
