its called popcorn and as far as i can find out (damn dealers) it supposed to be or has some djs blue moonshine in it...
from all the people ive talked to and what ive read about that strain.... match up to the plants .... smell buds height looks markings and hopefully flowering time.... so if it turns blue it will have more in comin and basically 60% confirm it ( cant ever be sure) but i so hope it is djs genetics are the shit lol

Things seem to be going pretty well, I had a little problem with the leaves truning brown in spots but I think i figured out the issue, I'm pretty sure I had bugs in there I put some vingar and soap in there and some sticky strips, there were some little tiny like hair type bugs and a few fruit like flies. Other than that they seem to be filling out nicely, at what point does one switch to 12/12?

Yo easy on the home depot............come on man you gotta say though for a home depot/lowes grow and with my electric bill only going up 30.00 a month including the cost of the a/c I have added to the room I don't think I can really complain seems like a decent deal so far, hopefully i get some smoke outta this deal
well
it looks pretty good man, i use alot of the same stuff, except i use 2 150 real watt cfls 1 6500* and 1 2700*, i noticed one thing, when your local walmart has the single cfls on one of the end displays get the bright white for veg and the warm white for flower they are the same spectrum you want. you can also minimize the amount of bug stuff you have in your area by using pest out, it has a pretty potent odor which is also omri listed. for your vents you could simply create a set of offset holes with equal airflow that i promise you will block out the light, you may need to add a fan on the opposite side of the other for more performance.

so I added a few extra lights for side lighting, I have been having a problem with gnats I think, I seem to see little worm like bugs on the leaves very small and white, I see them on the sticky strips as well. I have put out sticky strips and vinegar. We'll see what happens.......I did by some ortho insect soap stuff.........we'll see what happens tho

Well I put a layer of sand on the top of the pots, I read in a thread that it is a good way to keep the bugs from laying eggs in the soil and I bought some ortho ecosense insect soap I'm going to give that shit a try it says the only thing not to use it on is ferns and I don't think that's a issue.....I may test on a single plant and see what effect it hashey try this put 2 drops of dish soap in a water bottle then fill the rest with water and spray lighty on the soil and if there on the actual plant spray light , dont do this in the morning hours(by ur light schedule) and spray with clean water the next day to wash the residue off it worked for me

I hope it works I just sprayed 2 4 inch clones with it. I am new so I guess I am asking if I did too much. I am growing in MG soil and each baby has( 1) 30 watt (120watt) warm and a cool light (2 cfls over each plant-240 watts per kid) about 6 inches above them. I am indoors with a vent above ....Please give this guy so guidance. Blueberry/Hog-breath mix. Gonna do 4 Wht widows, 4 silver haze and 5 Himalayan golds out side any suggestions?Well I put a layer of sand on the top of the pots, I read in a thread that it is a good way to keep the bugs from laying eggs in the soil and I bought some ortho ecosense insect soap I'm going to give that shit a try it says the only thing not to use it on is ferns and I don't think that's a issue.....I may test on a single plant and see what effect it has
