Have lived here all my life.Except 2 months,I was born in South Carolina.Just got back in from flats fishing and had a hell of a morning.

:cry::cry::cry::cry::cry::cry::cry::cry::cry::cry::cry::cry::cry::cry::cry::cry::cry::cry::cry::cry::cry::cry::cry::cry::cry::cry::cry::cry::cry::cry::cry::cry::cry::cry:

I've been in the Tampa area for 5 years and still have only gone fishing down here three times. I have $2000 in fishing gear deep and shallow water that I used to use every weekend in N. Florida and since I came down here and became a 'professional man' I've only wet a line three times and all three were from bridges. I haven't caught anything except a few colds since moving to Tampa... I'm SOOOOOO jealous!

Ok rant off. I guess I'll just inseminate the wife tonight and then bongsmilie!

How would you guys go about fixing a K deficiency if the plants were just watered yesterday. Could you use molasses even though the soils still wet? or would you run the risk of over watering?

i'd say whatever you do wait till the soil is dry, you could over water...

That seems like sound advice. Any recommended nutes for K besides molasses? or should molasses do the trick? Sry I'm hounding you guys but it seems like people get better answers in here than in the "general population" lol :joint::joint::joint:

Hey guys I am having a problem with my seedlings.... they seem to be shriveling up in the sun... How long should I be leaving them out in the sun especially today like 90 outside. They are about 4 days from seed. Havent really sprouted b/c i keep throwing little bits of soil to keep sun or is that bad. And should i water them more than once a day? i give them about 10 oz water aday about 1/2 bottle water walmart

And also I have only been giving my plants about two bottles of water each every other day... does that sound about right? For 4 plants?

Ok damnit I've been procrastinating this for 6 months now and it's about time for me to start a grow ...

I'm opting for a closet grow which I'm naming Satans grow. It will have 6 in clone, 6 in veg, and 6 in flower making it a 666 grow. I have a 200 watt CFL reflector and bulb for seedlings/clone, a 2' 8 light T5-HO florescent fixture for veg, and a 1000W HPS in a sun systems 6" air cooled reflector for flower. This is all going in a 8'X3'X9' closet that will be lined with Panda Film and ventilated with a 440CFM fan through a 2'X6" carbon filter so I'll be venting 200% of the air out every minute (mythbusters, if it's doing it's worth over doing.)

room air ----> Carbon Filter ---> ducting ---> light ----> fan ---> attic
216 CF of room (- plants and gear of course) and a 440CFM canister fan should be more than enough ventilation.

If I do it right I should be able to grow enough for myself and friends. I'm taking an approach to venting I haven't seen here, but have been assured it will work. The path of the air will go from the room to the carbon filter, through the air cooled light, and into the attic, where it's running 95 - 120 F degrees during the day anyway so that should avoid any FLIR issues.

I will be using Canna Coco Coir with Canna Nutes and schedule for the grow in an Ebb and Flow System. I'll start with CoCo plugs for seedlings in RO water only and transplant into 6' square pots in a rubbermaid ebb and flow system for veg with recommended Canna nute levels. Then in flower I intend to use 5 gal black pails in an Ebb&Gro type setup, except home made. I'm thinking that a 35 gal res should be enough for the ebb and flow in flower with water/nute changes weekly at full tilt that would leave 5 gal in the res constantly for the pump to keep working.

I'm also considering using UvB lights to increase potency but I'm not sure of effectiveness or stregnth to use, I'll worry about that later.

Hows it sound so far?
