Lady J's 12 / 12 From Seed Perpetual Closet CFL Grow

Sorry, two more questions.

#1 What is the temperature of your apartment set at?

#2 What defeciency is your skunk suffering from?

I have used cheap $5 Walmart soil mixed with 50% perlite, currently I'm using happy frog also mixed 50% with perlite. Ocean forest is pretty hot to begin with and not knowing what exactly the mix you're dealing with coupled with you adding more nutes as well I'd certainly not be adding anything for quite some time.

I'm just full of questions. I am currently deciding on the height of my box. How tall is your skunk grow area, and when did you switch to 12/12 with her. (how tall and how old was she)

I've read where people put seeds straight into ocean forest mixed with happy frog without burn, so hopefully I don't hurt the babies. I wanted them to be bigger before putting them in the mix, but I could tell that they were growing really slow in the seed starting mix. Won't be adding any nutes anytime soon, def feel you on that. I will see how they react and take things slowly from there.

thanks for pics!

I originally had a tomato trellis netting that I grew the plants through...but once I went 12/12, they far surpassed it so I just cut it off. It allowed me to have all those tops now. Then, to help with penetration, I LST'd a few branches here and there.

I keep the AC on 73 but I have ghetto ass AC so it usually feels warmer in here. Sometimes I run it in energy saver mode, but on the real hot days (been having plenty of those), have to run it continuously.

The skunk has a potassium deficiency. Was so concerned with over ferting, that I under ferted hehe

Do you mean the sterilite bins? I think they're 3 feet...don't know where my tape measure is, but they are 35 gallon totes. I switched to 12/12 about a month after vegging...but I use a scrog so I was able to save space and veg longer.

Mmm looking very tasty! Biggest problem you'll have is deciding which strain to smoke first lol!
I can't wait til I have a coupla strains to choose from
Would love to order seeds but too paranoid :P oz laws are getting worse, 10g could get jail time nowadays :/

Grow n toke!

I know others have used FFOF to start out, but in my personal experience it seems to be going well! Just gotta make sure you don't add nutes for a good couple weeks xD.

I know not all people have the ability or experience to do it, but I have found that my own mix of garden compost works like magic for me. About the only thing I do to grow with it is add some pearlite, just for extra drainage. As I tried MG compost for my very first grow and was able to get something and didn't have nute problems, but did get a serious gnat crop.
