I just started them on Iguana Juice Bloom. Im keeping this all organic and ive heard alot of good things about Iguana Juice so I shall see. Any experience with it?
Yea it was my first soil grow coming from hydro and after much research the Fox Farms Ocean Forrest seemed best. I was able to skip the Iguana Juice Grow because of the sufficient nutrients in the soil.
Run off PH: 6.5
Temp: During the day 79-84
During the night 74-76
Humidity : 40-55 (has been fluctuating)
Soil : fox farms ocean forest but i recently added some vermiculite on top to level it out, whenever I move on the of bags around the soil shifts and the vermiculite mixes in little by little.
I originally wanted to put some perilite and knew I had some but lucky I read the bag before putting in as it was infused with Miracle Grow LOL.

Thats what im talking about man, well I do hope that you follow my grow and let us know when you start. You need to have a journal even if its gonna be just a picture one. I wanna watch considering im going setting something like that up on my next grow. Ive been really interested in seeding one of these autos so I don't have to worry about seeds for some time.
I was thinking about getting this for the next grow. Looks to be the perfect size for what im trying to do!
Perfect sized grow tent and its cheap
I know you can build your own but for that price and already being reflective inside im down.

They are 2 gallon bags but I was only able to fill each up to say 1.5 gallons. I then cut the tops of the bag so that the air can properly flow through and get the seedlings when they were small.

I will def have 2 bags next time even if its just for extra because I would have rather started them in 2 gallons of dirt.
I might actually order some soon since I have two more Ak-47 seeds that I want to plant. Since they are auto's I can pretty much add them as I like and just put them on something to always be closest to the light.
I think im going to take your advice on that toxic issue because I was randomly searching online and came upon a thread that was mentioning how people were having issues with a random type of grow box... ill search on that brand some more. Thank you for that info!
Awesome about you getting a camera and the setup pics, im looking forward.. till then..

Sorry man I only had one bag and it couldn't fill all the bags up. I was able to fill 8 bags with about 1.5 gallons each before running out. I just cut the tops of the bags so it wouldn't be so deep in.
Cheapest I've found online is here for 6.95 for 12 quarts but I have not checked the shipping.

Post a link to your journal as soon as you get it started I love watching grows come along.
I measured all mine and they range from 5 - 9 inches. They are 22 days old today.

I was gone for most the weekend and it was nice to come home to a very bushy set of ladies. The sizes range from 5-9 inches and I would say a few inches change since Friday.
I fed them a total of a gallon of water mixed with 3 teaspoons of Iguana Juice on Thursday so im sure they enjoyed that.
I was thinking about watering them today but figured Id wait another day since I can still feel a cool moistness when I do a finger test. Then I plan to wait another two days then give another feeding of the same as before. If by the end of the week and into the next I find them needing more I will adjust accordingly.
So far everything is looking nice, hopefully it stays that way. I hope all who love pictures enjoy.. I would have gotten more close ups on other plants but I didn't want to remove them from the light so I chose just one. Enjoy! and comments please!!
Thank you all for subscribing I hope to see you guys around the whole time!!
