A good friend of mine brought over a very nice piece of equipment, a florescent lighting hood. Not sure what the bulb type is, going to bring the current ones with me when I go to home depot to buy new ones, if needed. Anyone have any person insight on which tubes work best? Previous 3 tubes...

I already regret not having more lights, but this weekend I'm making a DIY hood to intensify the light and penetrate deeper into the lower branches, too much light is being wasted. I went ahead and trimmed two fan leaves from each plant. I cut the leaves that were connected to the Y of the...

That's awesome, thanks bro, will definitely try that soon. Should I be trimming the larger fan leaves to let the lower branches get more light and grow fuller? I feel like I should but are they a little to young? 26 days old today, about 8" tall, but bushy as hell.

07/13/11: Garlic huh? Thanks for the tip, I'll definitely check that solution out. Has anyone had any personal luck with that trick? Perlite is now marked for use in the next transplant, I haven't watered them in the last two days, going to wait another 2 / 3 before watering them again, but it...

Yea I can see what you mean about the bugs.. However, I just spent the last two hours hunting down every last bug in my grow closet. There is no longer an infestation. Screw pesticides, just need some good old fashion patience and to be bloodthirsty for those fuckers. Anyhow, the baking is a...

7/11/11 cont: Fucking bugs. I found a beetle crawling through my soil. I quickly killed it, there's also a few bugs flying around, going to get a fly strip and hang it over the plants. If it comes down to it, anyone know any good pesticides?

7/11/11: Today I went to a local nursery and bought a soil test kit, it turns out the pH of the soil isn't that bad, its somewhere between 6.5 and 7.0. I can't imagine these leaves dying because of that little of a variance, could it be a symptom of the same cause from the reddening? I decided...

Currently at walmart, was at home-depot, and I can't find any dyna-gro products... Any alternatives that would work just as well? Edit: Got pH strips for testing water, my water supply is sitting between 6.8 / 7.2, which is good, its the soil that's fucked and the local nursery is closed, going...

07/09/11 + 07/10/11: Yesterday, 07/09/11, I attempted to flush my plants, it seems to be working to combat the nut lockout. I will definitely go and get dyna-gro pro-tekt asap, probably after work. I really do have to check the pH level, and have yet to check the ppm of the local water supply...

07/08/11: Today was pretty productive, I upgraded the light setup and transplanted my plants to 8" pots. Here's a new picture of the setup: It's insanely bright. Hurts your eyes if you look for too long.. The additions are 4x Ecosmart 1750 lumens 5000k 23W, perfect for the veg stage and a...

I added the 24-8-16 plant food to the water last night and watered them, but the purple in the stems, leaves, veins in the leaves, and the main stem is getting a lot darker and more abundant. Any thoughts?

I will definitely look into the Y-Splitters you were talking about, that could really help bush these plants out. A local hardware store is having a 50% off all in-stock lighting, going to go check it out tomorrow. Water quality is something I can't really improve. I hope leaving the water...

https://www.rollitup.org/grow-journals/445323-first-grow-7-plants-cfls.html My first grow journal. Would greatly appreciate any and all help.

Here's my first grow journal. I previously had a 5 plant grow, one of which reached over 6 feet tall, the rest were 2 feet. All males... Sad day. But I learned a lot from it and now I'm hoping this next batch reveals a nice female that I can then clone. I plan on only updating this single post...
