maybe hygrozyme? I heard someone say they use worms, then pull them out. I just mix the hell out of it and let it sit nice and moist for a little bit. That being said I think you should look further into reusing coco with your growing techniques, I've heard bad things about reusing.

+1 to the water a lot, I tried starting plants in late may early june and it just didn't work. I'd get to one spot late on a hot day and almost all of the seedlings would be dead. I gave up on it.

nice grow. My friend just harvested SW and the trichs didn't really turn amber, he just waited for them to be really cloudy. btw, I bought mylar for my first grow but I've found I prefer "black and white poly" now. just a preference, but its a lot easier to install if you make another room.

cough cough

I put them in boxes in a mini van and move a bunch of other crap as well, like a tv and sofa or something. I moved a couple big plants, it is nerve racking.

I had completely mylar'd off section of my bedroom that I had to cut through everytime I went in. Also had to walk over ducting that hooked up the window a/c unit I rigged up to work inside. I sleep on the couch as well.

+1 for RO water, I do the same, and if you don't have money for the 5 gal jugs you can buy 1 gal jugs at meijer for 30 cents, and their water is 29 cents a gal, not that 8 cents matters :)

I'd try to get a couple florescents in there with the hps. just my 2 cents though. I also have 6 plants in a 4'x4' room and they are crowded, but I think that was almost the right amount.

thanks for your input. I'm growing commercially and might start a strict schedule. Having a steady income is going to be very important to me.

I got a blueberryXnorthern lights from a guy and found out he is a moron. He told me everything he had would be done in 8 weeks. Is this true? also, do I need a bud hardener? and how do I use it? Any advice from someone that has grown or seen someone grow this strain is appreciatted.

If this isn't your friend hooking you up or doing a favor I'd be very cautious. if it is then I'd give him a bunch of my harvest ;) I'd say use bag seeds to grow at first, even if you just get them a foot tall and kill them to put designer genes in. losing $150 worth of seeds because you...

flush, then wait for it to dry out again. 83 degrees isn't horribly hot and I suspect the lack of growth that you've seen is more likely because of the over watering. Newbies over fert a lot of the time, just take it easy on them, they usually don't need much.

its the best MJ book I've read so far, lots of color pics as well

and on the feeding a lot of miracle grow crap has time release nutes in it. That may create a problem.

I was wondering about 10/10 for budding as well. I've never tried it or heard of anyone doing it, and don't know what timers to use for this either. If you try it please post your results :)
