I've made a lot of previous threads trying to get this room together, many of you helped! I'm using a walk-in closet in my attic, first seedlings were Jack the Ripper and Vortex (bought April 25, barely rooted). My cat knocked over my vortex and it died, Jack the Ripper is now a month and 10 days old. The grand-daddy purps in the black pots are 1 month and 3 days old. Exodus Cheese/Super Bud/White Widow/Emerald Jack will be 1 month old from seed on the 8th. The Chocolope is 3 weeks old from seed and is a little stunted because the peat pellet it was rooting in dried out for a couple hours.

Finally updating this thread!

IMG_20110613_123105.jpgIMG_20110613_123620.jpgIMG_20110613_123118.jpg

x2 GDP are in 2 gallon pots, 6 wks old, about 20 inches tall,
x1 JTR is in a 1.6 gallon pot, 7 wks old, about 28 inches tall.
I want to keep these in veg for a while so I have a nice yield, is it time for a transplant?

The following are from seed and are roughly 1 month old from sprout:

x1 Emerald Jack
x1 White Widow
x1 SuperBud
x1 Exodus Cheese
x1 Chocolope

Emerald Jack is more sativa dominant than the 60/40 white widow but the white widow is growing much bigger. The exodus cheese has a thinner trunk then i'd like it to, seems a little more 'stunted' than the white widow, maybe because it's an indica? The Superbud is definitely stunted, I don't know why, the Chocolope is stunted because I let the peat pellet dry out for an hour while it was germing with an 82 degree room. Question is, can the Superbud and Chocolope EVER be good mothers? or are they bad-gened for life? The exodus cheese is my only successful indica apparently since SB and Chocolope are stunted.

Emerald Jack/White Widow/Exodus Cheese are the ones that I'm counting on.
Hopefully the Superbud and Chocolope will give me good bud. Jack the Ripper was a clone, and I'm about to take cuttings so I can continue it, I might take them from the side as long as they aren't too weak looking.

Both the GDP and JTR are receiving full strength Technaflora nutes at about 900ppm every third watering.

I use the following nutes:

per 1 gallon of water (3.8l)
15ml b.c boost
7.5ml b.c grow
2.5ml thrive alive B-1 Red
10ml SugarDaddy (sweetener)

For flowering I I've got B.C Boost as my base nute, I'm thinking to switch to the GH Line and use FloraNova. I might even add Subculture-M for stronger roots. This is the nutrient schedule I'm thinking to follow, note I vegged in Technaflora nutes.. please help me make sure these nutrients are right for flowering

Base Nutrient:
Flora Nova Bloom: Start with 2.5ml/gal then move onto 5ml after they bloom

Additives:
Floralicious Bloom: 5ml/gal as soon as I change to 12/12
Floralicious Plus: 1ml/gal all throughout
Liquid Koolbloom: Start with 1.5ml/gal then move onto 2.5ml after they bloom
FloraNectar: 10ml/gal all throughout, or just bloom? (I think this is the Sugardaddy substitute, if so it's meant to be used all throughout, can I continue SugarDaddy?)
Are there any additives I am missing? Do I have the correct ratios? Do I feed with these nutes everyday? Or must I flush? Also, when using the GH website, is soil a 'drain to waste' system or a 'recirculating' system?

Is there a better nutrient schedule more oriented for organic growing? Suggest anything that will improve my results.

Also is 1month from seed too early to remove branches? Some were growing a thick canopy and I had to remove lowest branches to promote an even canopy. Is that okay?

And how do some companies say a Vitamin B supplement is necessary and some companies completely ignore it. What is the important of this Thrive Alive B-1 I've been using and what will discontinuing its use in flower do?

Please give me advice, help, any input is welcome :) This is my first grow!

I'm getting dark green edges on the lower leaves of only the indica dominant GDP, none of this on my JTR so I don't think it's a nute overdose although I'm using full strength nutes. I think this is because of lack of light and maybe high temps in my room? (83 max)


Also to add onto many many of my questions so far, is there any kind of product I can get to use around the Outside of my grow room to keep away all aphids,spidermites,pests, flying gnats, etc?? A harsh product from home depot might work if it's designed for season-long control. Anyone know specific products?

Here are my clones, the jtr is 7 weeks into veg, gdp is 6. The rest of my plants are all from seed, these were clones.
