So after taking a hard look at my finances I decided that my smoke related expenditures were getting way out of hand. I made an investment of about $500 to get started with the following items:
10 White Lady seeds - $38 shipped
From: drchronic.com
Closet Grow Kit - $398 shipped
Reflector hood
400watt ballast
HPS bulb
MH conversion bulb
18 one gallon grow bags
9 two gallon grow bags
2.5 cubic ft. Sunleaves brand Coco Coir
Monkey Juice A & B Grow and Bloom
Overdrive Flower booster
Seed starter system
50' mylar
From: HGTSupply.com
I started germinating on 04/08 and planted all 10 seeds on 04/11. I used the CFLs for the first five days and then switched to MH. I highly recommend the domes I got at Walmart to anyone using CFLs. They're only $5 each in the tools section. The seed starter system is great for any newb. It is just a styrofoam slab with holes in it which the starter plugs sit in. The slab floats on water and the plugs always stay perfectly moist. I had tap roots hanging three inches into the water two days after planting. I transplanted into the coco and switched on the MH on 04/16. However, there was one sprout which kept it's shell on for a while and was several days behind the others so it remained in the tray. Since coco provides no nutrients whatsoever it is recommended to start with very small doses about a week after sprouting. My liquid measurement skills left something to be desired and I ended up burning the first leaves pretty bad but after a flushing they are looking much better. The only other mishap involved one of my dogs eating a plant so I am now down to nine. Here's some pics of my grow so far. I would love to hear from anyone who has ever come across the White Lady strain before. I got them because they were cheap and this is my first time.
User, great to have you here. I can't upload pics right now because the Sprint network is down but I have a question. As you know, I was killing my babies with 5 mL/L (~18 mL/gal) doses of the A & B. The ones that burned the worst I've been giving straight water. The ones that weren't too bad have been getting just a taste (4 A & B eyedrops per liter). It seems like the ones that have been getting straight water continue to burn though. I guess my question is how long will the residual effects of the burn continue and do you think I should continue with plain water or give light doses? Thanks.
should be interesting to see how you do in that Monkey Juice....If it works out for you then at least I know I have some extra nutes hanging around in the closet.

I actually read on another forum that the reason for Monkey Juice's bad rep is not that it doesn't work but that after a while it starts to smell really bad. This I can believe because I cracked the seals less than two weeks ago and the Part A is already starting to stink. I'm going to be setting up some pretty crucial odor neutralizing systems soon for my plants so it shouldn't be a big problem I hope. I'm going to be using ONA which I hear is pretty powerful stuff. Peep this link for exactly what I'm doing odor removing machine
You should definitely check this out if your worried about the smell, bk.

Aw man, I was wrong about the burn in the first place. Who knows if I would steer you right this time? Lets see.......muahahah.
The thing with nute burn is that the leaves affected are uberfucked. The plant won't function efficiently unless it has other foliage to pick up the slack. Plants that young may take a couple of weeks to hit their stride because they don't have many leaves yet. Maybe just flush them a lot. Have you tried that yet?
