Hey guys, just a photo update. I am at watering every 2 days with full strength nutes still. I'll wait for the plants to tell me no before I lower them. I am still on 24/0 light, think I will till I flowers. Here are some new pics, nothing much happening....

Thanks Doc.

OK, well, I decided to transplant my guys into their permanent buckets. I cut the bottom of the cups off and set them gently into some moist Hempy Buckets, close to 3 gallons. I will veg for about 3 weeks starting now. If they get to 12 inches I will turn to flowering.
I have to oder a conversion bulb for my HPS so I can shine MH spectrum. My CFL's, although 105 W each, just don't have the spread to cover all the plants prperly. Tomorrow I am gonna set up my HPS and get it going. I'll veg for a bit with it until my conversion bulb gets here.
Nutes are cut in half now due to the transplant, don't want to stress the little guys out. Water remains the same, and no signs of trouble yet. Some tiny yellow dots on one guy, but nothing major, I'll keep an eye on it, but it really isn't affecting anything.
Temp gets pretty cold with the heater off. I unplugged everything while I was transplanting, and it dropped a good 10 degrees in no time. When the lights go out I'll have to crank the heater to prevent any cold from setting in.
I am playing a bit with this one, instead of perilite and vermiculite the whole way through, I decided to put some Hydrotron clay balls at the bottom about 0.5 inches above the resevoir level. I was just thinking, hydrotron is super porous, I might be able to get some great O2 levels at the roots, we shall see.
Any comments on me doing thiss. Think it may effect me negatively? I think it is gonna helps pretty good...

Here is some pics. I couldn't fit all 8 of my gals (hopefully) in buckets, so I am gonna flower 2 of my little guys after I get my HPS up. I will remove the 2 from the closet and put them under a CFL. During lights out, I am just gonna throw a box over top of them. I really don't mind losing these little ones, but I will see how they turn out....

Just a quick update. I checked on them this am. I only gave them a light water after the transplant to try and get them to force their roots down to the resevoir. They looked pretty good this am, very little signs of stress. I watered them really well this am and got some good return from the resevoir hole at the bottom of the buckets. I can't wait to see them shoot up, just a matter of time for them to find the resevoir!
I'll keep everone posted!

Hey guys, well, I put the HPS up, and wow, CFL's are going in the trash. Within 5 minuts of the light going up the plants stiffened up and sort said, HELLO, to the light. I mean, this isn't even the right spectrum of light yet, but you can tell, much better and brighter!
Some stress from the trrasplant, but I am sure everything will come along fine. I am going to drop to 20/4 soon, probably on the weekewnd.
Temps with the light on are a nice warm 80-82, humidity staying at about 55-65, for veggin theat is great. Once I flower I will just put a dish of drying agent in the room every week to make sure I stay at 40-50%.
I am having a great time with this grow, and can't wait to reep the benfits. All of my product is personal use, I would never sell anything. I just want to get away fdrom supporting the dealers, I like to know where my money is going...
I am hoping for 3-4 females, 2oz dry weight each plant... at least, so that should give me 6-8 oz being gracious, but hopeful to break 10. That will give me a good year or 2 supply...

Hey mannurse.

Don't trash the CFLs. They are much kinder to seedlings and clones than HID. And you can use them for sidelights so you get nice bushy side branches.

I have a new mom developing. She's about 7 inches high right now, in a 1 quart hempy. I'll be putting her in a 5 gallon in a week or so. I've always gone 100% perlite, but I have a bag of vermiculite so I'm going to go with the classic hempy mix. I expect it to hold slightly more water than straight perlite. After I finish up the current 6 plants, which are about 4 weeks apart, I won't be doing anything except making this mom as big as I can. I have 5 other clones which will veg all summer and flower in the fall. They should be truly huge by then (well, they won't get more than 40", that's the strain). I'll take more clones from the mom and flower her as well.

I can't have a social life at home until flowering is over. The only time I can't smell the reek of bud right now is when I'm cooking.



You would be surprised at how fast you can blow through a harvest when you aren't paying cash money for it! "2 year supply" lol.

Yeah, I was just being sarcastic about trashing the lights. I am gonna use them still. If the room gets tight for light, I have them to add.... Thanks man

Listen to SHNKRMN, It sounds like he knows what he is talking about. I agree with him and I consulted the bible for guidance and it also confirms his suggestions. It says in bold NO NUTES FOR YOUNG CLONES OR SEEDLINGS, Especially full strength. I believe they get what they need from whats available in the soil and photosynthisis for the first couple of weeks or until you get 2-3 set of true leaves. I only gave my seedlings B-1 and sweet for weeks 1-2 in light amounts and with each watering. At the end of week 3 I gave them their first nutes and a medium dosage. Here is a link to my grow.

Thankls for the comments. Yeah I'm listening to the Jedi warrior, I am just a young skywalker....
I am gonna cut the nutes in half, and switch to distilled water. I mean, best to avoid any type of problems if you can right?
I'll stop by the grocery store to pick up 2 large things of water. They should last me quite some time. Once I empty one, I'll go back to the store, so I will always have 1 full one at home..
One thing, should I premix my nutes in the water jug, or do it just before watering? I see people do it both ways....
Anyway, I'll take some picks tonight and give another quick update. Cheers guys!

Your caution will repay you.

What do you mean by large things of water? I have two 5 gallon jugs I take to the store to refill. Pre-bottled water will cost you 3 times as much as if you fill it from the bulk dispenser. If things go well for you, in about a month you will need about 1/2 gallon per plant every few days.

I hate mixing one gallon at a time. I think larger scale leads to greater accuracy in dosing and pHing, so I mix up 5 gallons at a time now. Of course, I use all of that when I water for three plants, so I don't have any leftovers to store. If you want to store solution put a lid on it and store it in a dark cool place. Maybe even the fridge, but then again you don't want to give your girls a cold. . . . I have a couple gallons for my small clones, since they are still just sipping. I have it in a 5 gallon bucket covered under the table the clones are sitting on. You just don't want to start growing algae in it. . . .
