    First HID Grow

    5-25-14 Update: It has been a while since I have done an update because I have been very busy. In the last three days all but one plants have started the flowering process. All have came out female just as hoped and today I switched them over to the hps. Now the fun begins of watching them grow...

    First HID Grow

    If anyone could look at this and tell me what is going on here I would greatly appreciate it. She doesn't look good at all and i am worried if the transplant may have hurt her. Any help is appreciated. This is the Seed Hunter's Money Maker. EDIT: Though I would add an enhanced photo as well so...

    Thanks! So much good advice that I will put to use. Should work out well for me. I usually am about ready to leave for work when the lights come on. Happy growing!

    First HID Grow

    5-14-14 Update: Well I have now transplanted all the plants and they are in their home until the end. I transplanted into a mix I made (75% FFOF, 20% CoCo Soil-less,5% Perlite) It seems as if they are all generally pretty happy and cant find anything to complain about at the moment. 5/7 plants...

    Wow! Thanks for all the info Spliffer. Good to hear from someone that uses DG. I actually got my sample pack in today and I think its more than enough for my first and probably second grow. You gave tons of useful information that will help me tremendously. As far as checking for deficiencies...

    Thanks, I figured that just wanted to make sure. I'm thinking wait one day between my 3 day watering schedule, that day being the day after a water.

    First HID Grow

    5-11-14 Update: Everything seems to be going fine. I feel like they are not growing as fast as I had hoped but are still under optimal conditions. Hopefully they hit their stride soon. Only thing I am worried about now is the transplanting process. Hope someone has some tips for me on that. I...

    First HID Grow

    In the one gallon milk jug I used a combo of 4 cups of sugar and 2 tsp of activated yest. Half of that in the 2 liter. Basically dissolved the sugar in luke warm water (90-100 degrees F) and then added the yeast and shook well for about 5 minutes on each one. Drilled a hole in each top and used...

    First HID Grow

    I actually got one of those in yesterday. I found one on ebay that works really well for like 10 bucks. Its only 80X but I believe it will work just fine. Thanks for stopping by. Actually I made a homemade generator one 1gallon milk jug and one 2 liter bottle. It works pretty well my friend let...

    First HID Grow

    5-9-14 Update: Well I recieved the last of my supplies last night and now the waiting game begins. Everything is set up and seems to be running great. With the 600W running at 100% temp inside tent is a nice 78-80 degrees F. Humidity is running between 40-45%. All strains that I am running this...

    Just got 60 Day Lemon genetics..

    Yea man the 1 gallon probably killed the potential of this one. If you would have tripled that size, watch out! Still looks great but could have been great + more quantity. Live and learn. Im ready to see the harvest but I do agree with IMoore. She could use another week or 2 but I understand...

    First HID Grow

    5-7-14 Update: I ran into some issues with the shipping of the tent. The one I originally ordered was on back order but wasn't properly reflected on the website. After two days going by of the tent not shipping I called and asked and they couldn't find one to ship me. Long story short I ended up...

    Just got 60 Day Lemon genetics..

    Still looking good....I wish my plants where just half way to that point lol. Mine just got above soil. Crazy thing is I made a co2 generator and as soon as it started producing I placed inside my grow area. WOW its a huge difference already. The little ones responding amazingly to just that...

    Is my plant to BIG to start a scrog?

    Relating to the OP. What is the best/cheap item to use for a screen? I want to do the same and am brainstorming some items I could use for it. Thanks and happy growing!

    my plant is showing me signs but i don't know what they mean! help please!

    I have said many times. PH meter, PH meter, PH METER!!! A successful grow can be done without one (I myself have done one this way,) but it becomes much harder when things are not going your way. Diagnosing issues without knowing the PH becomes very difficult. You could even figure out the issue...
