Davecoulier: Thats exactly whats happening, maybe to much vermiculite. But I only did add 1 cups of verm compared to 3 perl 2 peat 1 wrmcasting and 1 tblspn Garden lime (Btw, I had to lace the garden lime on top of the soil, I completely forgot to add it to the mix!!!!11!!, will this be a problem?

Alright guys I mixed: 3 part perlite 1 part verm 2 part peat 1 part wormcasting 1 tblspoon Garden lime Problem: The water tends to sit around when I pour it into the soil. Slow it will be alright and drains very well..extremely well actually. I have her on 24 hours and the next day she needs...

Yea a cup would be 2 much. When I say part im talking about like a 3:1 ratio perlite/vermiculite. Then the rest etc. We dont have the BEST nurseries where I am, and most of the soil already has perlite, and bark which I dont like. Im hoping the perlite will counteract with the vermiculite at...

I do too it cause to pest to run around, with what I use now its okay I dont see pest (as often, if I do they are removed quickly with the spray I use). Heres what I will go with because I already have these items, except one: 3 part perlite 1 part Vermiculite 2 part peatmoss 1 cup garden lime...

Some of that TLC soil alread has peat moss, think I might just try to add some perlite/wormcasting to it and see what happens.

Like mentioned before, TLC has a pretty good soil mix that doesnt contain any vermiculite or nutes, just average shit. What I might do is purchase that soil and add perlite (if it doesnt already have it, cant remember) wormcastings. SO many different way?!!?!?!?!!!!!

Thats the problem, soil around here isnt so great. There are a couple places, for instances TLC, they make there own soil with no nutes but has peat moss/barks and etc. As said before I keep hearing about a 50/50 perlite.verm mix, but never tried it. I think on the next girl ill reduce...

I was thinking about going that route, and a different mix (like the one mentioned before yours) just to test and see what happens. So far my girl is LOVING the 2700k/5600 mix on 12/12, I veg'd her for only a week, and shes blowin up everyday. Im usin over 400 watts of cfl for just one...

No idea, I still have studying to do :bigjoint:. But I know one of these guys will tell ya. Man they sure are beautiful!

Yea you can see stress on there, but they are still looking really good. Nice girls

Thanks that was alot of help. I have heard of 50/50 verm/perlite mix being very popular but have never tried it. One experiment at a time for me ;). I knew I was missing something (garden lime, is that at your local nursery/lowes/homedepot?) bongsmilie Edit: So would be kind of safe to say...

I did my own soil mix which included: Perlite Peatmoss Vermiculite Worm Casting I basically combined an even ratio of those 4, and mixed it (Lets just say, 1 cup for each), was that wrong? Should there be more perlite? Vermiculite seems to sit around at the top when watering for just a...

Yea that helped out definately. Right now theres only 350watts (cfl) for one girl, im bout to plant the others and see what happens. Maybe ill just keep that at a distance. Thanks and nice nugs ^^

subscribed, great job man. They are looking great. Im about to switch over to 14/10 to 12/12, at first I thought it would possibly shock my seeds (that I have also collected as well) so I wanted to veg for a little bit, but not give it to many hours of light..kind of stay close to the 12/12...

nice work turned out alright, I like that box haha pretty fancy. I have a PC fans all over the place. Im doing a 14/10 veg cycle to see what happens, then switching over to 12/12 soon. I wanted to start a 12/12, since I saved 2 seeds I think I just might. Do you suggest putting more lights? Even...

It has been some odd weeks, maybe 1 1/2 not that long, i been using a 150cfl and 2 100watt cfl (different kelvin), ill snap some pics and keep ya guys updated

14 hours of light, 10 dark. Reading the bible for a while Its telling me less hours of light will increase chances of a female plant (random seeds im using). So Im giving it a shot; 14 hours of light makes sense in nature because thats about all the sunlight I get around here, then it gets dark...

Honestly no, but it was always checked. It stayed neutral (maybe around 6.8-7.0, it was a cheap reader), this time I will in fact be setting it, since I know how now. Thanks for the heads up it didnt even cross my mind...been a while :fire:

Looking really good. Hows the 12/12 cycle treating you? I have very low space as far as height so Ill be using LST again (which worked freakin awesome on the last girl that was on just regular 18/6 cycle to 12/12). Cant wait to see more. Good luck

:peace: old post but if anyone is reading this, the above post is A++ always worked, seeds popped quick. You dont need a freakin 6 mixture Sphagnum Peatmoss, perlite, verm, wormcasting (maybe little less worm casting not 1/3, but think about dudes who mix HUGE gallons of soil. Just have to...
