Maybe aim some of your dedication to research :-)
Damn I hate it when people make sarky comments like that!! I appreciate the first bit of the post seemed like you were trying to help as I'm sure You are a valuable member to RIU but please read things properly :) I have done my research and not all that new to growing as some of the guys here know, I'm now having a go at growing in a pc case perpetually so I need to get used to using small pots

Thanks for the info

ok heres some pics :) the bagseed had leant over so ive propped her up with some soil thats why shes at a dodgy angle! she will straighten out soon enough though, white widows looking good and so are the temps still, at the moment its at 86 due to the heating being on all evening.

not much to report whilst they are young like this but thats gonna change soon :) havnt made up my mind yet if i should stick with the biobizz nutes or try something different and go with the canna a+b as i read its excellent stuff even if you dont use the coco but may try that aswell soon, also gonna raise the plant pots tomorrow and get them a bit closer

anyway will let the pictures do the talking ;)

Ok; If your having to water twice a day in soil then you have a problem. Either your plants are root bound or the medium drains water too quick without holding any behind.
Anyway, watering soil Twice daily is bad.

High Time, I'm sure you know your stuff but 'we' as a group of dedicated micro growers have spent a long time working things out and getting dialled in to what we do :-) Micro plants need special dedication and attention. Nothing wrong with 'root bound' btw, we use it to control growth of our plants and so long as its done right it still produces spectacular results, go look at 'SICC' and his Party Cup thread for example, solid rootball, barely anything else left in the cups but just look at those buds! if you treat them right they're just fine. Daily watering is part of this method and its demands. I would say from 12 years growing experience that growing micro style is far more challenging than conventional growing, I'm still learning this , but we have seen the results that speak for themselves from the likes of SICC, V12 & my personal guru DrBudGreengenes. Its almost an art form when its done right :-)

Looking good there caveman.

Hello everyone and great to see you all :) very pleased with the cmh upgrade and after 12 hours of running it went no higher than 83f! That's without a glass screen so could get them to drop even more if I wanted to but I'm happy with that, I read that ths bulb boasts 6400 lumens and is the 3000k version, even the 119w of cfls was hotter then that! That's why I went with the 70w instead of the 100w version because indidnt want any high temp problems and it will be super efficient

I was thinking that with this bulb I could hit the 1 gram per watt. A 2 plant scrog in there with a 2 week veg I reckon it could be done just think i would only need 70grams of bud!! May want to try that in the future ;) but for now perpetual is the game
1 gram per watt is delicious, I love that. What do you think the yield rate is for cfl? half that?

Maturesmoker. Ok, you grow your plants in small pots and control the rootbound issues. I understand that, it's not hard to.

I'm not understanding what your reply is about...

Why not add Perlite and others to the mix so your not always watering??

Well that just sucks, royally! :(

But family first. Just keep the case, maybe you can start a few in it at the end of the winter to put outside. Please stick around though and watch everyone else so we can all still bullshit with each other.

I am saddened for you :(

If you think about it, we are all loyal, willing slaves to our governments. No one will do anything about it. It is a vicious circle. I would rather be forced into slavery.

Enough of that! Buy your family a home brother, y'all will forever love it!

What a load of old shit caveman, I can understand your anger mate. You should post that on the LCA forum for information, that would shock a few people. Whats anti social about growing yourself a bit of weed ffs !!!!!

Shit, weed makes me more social if anything!! I loosen up and can relax around people. My anxiety levels off and I feel like me, not some fake person trying to hide who I really am.
