Thanks guys, Have a question tho, the moisture in the soil is staying pretty wet for awhile, i watered saturday, but before that i watered tuesday, seems like thats a hella long time to wait to water the plants, is there anything that can potentially cause an issue with that? I know how to fix it next time, but for now, just wondering if there is anything i should worry about?

hehe ya, the box tends to get warm if i mess with it at all, it went back down to 84 which is still hot, but it seems to not be effecting the plants in a negative way yet.

I was just commenting on the pic and giving my thoughts.I have used both tiger and big I will never waste money on big bloom
I use the same equipment same pots to the tee start them in square and the on to round ones are those 3 gal pots? look like the pots I get from hydro farm even have the same fan mine is old and dirty tho

Big BLoom is a nice organic fert that won't burn and is extremely mild. Works great for young plants to encourage root growth. My 2 cents.

Soooo, last night i fell asleep hehe, didn't give the update obviously, but I'll get that going tonight. I'll give ya the heads up on whats going on this week though. End of Week 8. Still feeding with Grow Big and Big Bloom every other feeding and Thrive Alive B1 with every watering. Plants are starting to sport some hairs so thats hella exciting, all of em have shown signs of sex now. (Pics to follow after the lights come on tonight). I've added an oscillating fan in the closet to help with some air movement and get the temps down a bit for the HPS to go in here in about a week. Going to get my mother plant box going this week too. Going to get a 2' HO T5 4 lamp light tomorrow and plumb in an exhaust and filter with my 4" 170 CFM fan exhausting the air. I also bought a fan for the box too, mo money mo money hehe. Sucks cuz i don't really have too much money to spend, but It'll work out.
anyways I'll get the pics going here soon, Plants are roughly 10-12 inches now and ready to start flowering next week

I know right Buddy? hehe, getting all antsy and shit, can't WAIT to stink up the whole neighborhood lol.
Anyways, I forgot to mention that I'm going to put some rocks on the top of the soil to stop the soil from getting annihilated when i water. Washed them with soap and water of course but ya, haven't finished yet, should get to it by the weekend hehe. Anyways heres the pics:
Notice the Hairs? oh ya! Baby got bush!
So ya, like i said, next week is flower time, should have mother box done by then. soooo ya, Cya all next week hehe!

So had a problem, wish i woulda took pics, but came in yesterday about 6pm when the lights go out and she was all droopy and almost wilted, scared the eff out of me, checked the soil and it was bone dry so i figured I'd water it and by the time the lights where on at midnight, she was perky and beautiful looking again. Kinda weird too that only that plant was as dry as it was. But ya, she didn't like it lol. Anyways ...
... question is how much stress does something like that cause?

It causes stress no doubt, but it will be ok as you can see. Its amazing how fast they recover. White Widow seems to drink twice as much water as the other strains I do and it CHOWS food. I'm doing one right now with 3 other Pure Power Plants and its eating more food and guzzling water BAD. A good thing!

I don't know if this would be right or not? flip it to 8 hours the last 2 weeks of flowering? I'll do more research on this but that just seems weird
Hmmm, didn't know that, but you are right, these plants are needing water more and more every week, kinda annoying lol. But ya, I'm at full strength feedings now and ready to flower. Gonna flip it to HPS and flowering schedule tomorrow so ya!
