reservoir 15 gallons with 520 gph pump.
humidifier
oscillating fan
walls are Styrofoam with a Mylar lining

after many adjustments I brought to
temp around 75-85. humidity about 30-35%.
I keep tweaking things such as trays, table, fans.

started with a budget of $250 (yea right) probably could have saved a few $, but figured might as well do it right. beside after I got started I could not stop.


ballast $140
reflector $85
trays,hoses,nutes,timers $80
duct fan $32
humidifier $25
pump $19

I just had to do a intervention to see if I could save it. beside I had the room set up and only a few decent seeds to germ. here are some pics. now hold on to something cause it is scary. damn near abuse. these where taken about jan 25

imho......trash it. considering that this plant has gone through major stress most of its life the odds of this plant being a healthy thriving female are slim to none.

this is the plant above about 5-6 days after i took it from my friend.

i have been giving it rockwool formula one A 5-0-4 and rockwool formula one B 1-5-5. i do not have any idea what i am doing with the nutes. i have just went by what the guy a the hydro store suggested, and whats on the directions.

been hand feeding. i decided to leave the lights on 24/7 for now. i dont know if this is the right thing or not. i ph the water. right now i only

these pic taken feb 1

be back in a little with more pics.

yea I would trash it if I had others going. I figured what's it going to hurt. I will get to the other plants I have going in a min. here are some pic of what that plant looks like today. tell me if you think I should give up, or if maybe I can get a clone or two from it.

come on is it that bad. I tried to take a clone but I think its going to die, by the looks of it. pic next post

I have 5 seeds growing in a tray with a dome. temp is usually about 75-85. humidity at about 65% - 70%.

the bigger one I planted on Jan 25. I have been watering it with r/o water at a ph of 5.5. I used the same nutes as stated before. it was going slow at first. I think I was over watering, or maybe don't need the nutes?

so with the others I germed then planted in rockwool on feb 3. I did not water them like before. I added some rocks in the nets and around the sides. then put this thin table cloth over the dome. I add some H2O r/o ph 5.5 no nutes, to the tray. and sprayed them with 0.15-.05-.03 Dutch master folitech and 0.006-0-0 dm penetrator. this is mixed 1 tsp each to 32oz h2o.

when I came home tonight, they took off. a lot faster then the 1st seeds I used. the first batch 1 out of 4 survived. second 4 out 4. I don't know if it was the dome, cloth over the dome, different feeding method, genetics. what ever I just going to stick with what works.

the last 4 seed received from a friend, he said they were skunk #1. I don't know if that true or not. although he is the guy I get my kind bud from.


any pointers would be appreciated.

pics suck. not familiar with this camera yet.

these are the seeds at 6 days. can anybody tell me if this looks good for day 6? or should i have more growth?

the bigger one is 14 day old.

just ignore that ugly one. it was my first attempt at taking a clone. i used a powder root hormome. it was cheap, and only thing i could find. i am going to try again with clonex gel.
