I came home from work yesterday and my first sprout had poked through. This morning there was a second. Nothing spectacular yet, but we're moving in the right direction for sure. Today, I'm planning on getting a bag of worm castings and a couple other things at the nursery.

Just thought I'd drop you a note. I haven't stepped up to a 250 yet. I'm germinating under a 125w CFL currently. By the time the plants sprout and indicate I'll probably be ready to take that step. My goal is good quality for very little cash. I started a journal too, if you wanna follow along.

So, I repainted the closet. On the last grow I hung aluminum foil. The aluminum foil seemed to work but I can tell a huge difference with the flat white. I hung the new light, which was pretty much a no-brainer. The seeds are in the coco coir in the mini greenhouse. The light is about 6...

This advice was given to me by a doctor a number of years ago. Bare with me here, cuz this works and is basically free. I had kidney damage as a kid. Most physicals, especially military physicals test for stuff like protein in urine. Excess protein in urine means you either have or have had...

The easiest answer I can give is do a bit of reading around on here. You've got lofty goals for the equipment you're listing from the resources you have.

Ok, so here's my first journal. I'm still in the experimental stage before I throw more money at my little hobby. The end result from my last grow was good enough, I'm at least going again. I made some serious mistakes last time around that cost me some yield. I think a bit of keeping note...

Here's a better idea. Move out.

My first harvest continues to improve day by day. Out of the gate it floored my friends. It doesn't have the same effect on me. I guess that's tolerance for you. I'd say at the 4 week mark, I might have some dank on my hands.

I used CFL from start to finish last time. I'll be adding light/lights on my next one. At this stage I'm not sure what I'm buying for sure. I found the CFLs very easy to use as they're lower heat. It depends on how much space you have, growing medium, number of plants, style of grow...

Are all of the plants clones from the same mother? If not, then all bets are off as far as treatment and nutrients go. You would be close, but each individual might want more or less of something than another. My first harvest went purple/blackish on me. In my case I think it was genetics...

This debate becomes really simple when you understand how large corporations operate. Most, not all, but most are profit driven. That being said, they don't give a shit about you or your kids. If they can make a few extra bucks by buying substandard ingredients a lot of them will. As far as...

I used it from the start of flower up until I flushed. Use "Blackstrap" unsulfured molasses. The molasses adds carbs and nutrients to the microbes in the soil. I'd say it makes a difference. I had a plant root bound in a 3 gallon pot with only 170w of CFL lighting. Just tells me I need to...

Here's the deal. You're never going to see a real scientific test saying MG is bad. MG is made by the fertilizer giant Scott's. Companies like Scott's spend quite a bit of money in DC and in Universities to make sure certain testing isn't done or is supressed to the point nobody gets to read...

Very nice. Thanks for posting that.

The light needs to be lots closer. Maybe as close as 8 inches. At that age it should be a stocky little bush. Food for thought, next time you want advice, post pics that are bigger. It's tough to tell anything when the pics are that small.

Hey there. I've considered over and over the light you're using. Small space, 3x3, here. Anyway, my question is more about yield. Do you have a grow journal posted? I ended up with almost an ounce out of 170w of CFL, single plant, bagseed, in soil. Nothing spectacular, in fact, looking for...

Feeding living soil with compost teas is probably best. Fresh brewed compost teas using worm castings and molasses are effective and affordable. Do some reading on aquaponics. There are ways to incorporate the aquarium water, I'm just not sure. As far as compost tea brewers, you can buy one...

Here's my 2 cents. Sub's been growing and breeding 30 years. He's been using Super Soil for 15 and tailoring it along the way. He grows some of the best stuff on the planet. Why over think something that's proven? Mix it up and get growing....

It's in there. I'm pretty sure Azomite contains potassium. But, I could be wrong.

And that's with TONS of errors. The next grow will be much better I can assure you. I used 2 68w CFLs over head and one 42w side fill. FFHF soil and their liquid nute trio. Just pay attention and give them what they need. I know for a fact the mistakes I made cost me yield. This was an...
