I've got a bit of a problem, I'm going away in about 3-4 weeks. I'll be gone for 3 weeks. Not sure what to do. I reckon the lowryders are gonna be done around then. Should I flower the widows before I leave also? Probably, if they grow for 3-4 without me messing them up and they'll be fairly...

Hah, wow. That twin towers one was really tall. Looks cool.

Thanks mate. Things are finally starting to fall into place with the plants and with my head. Getting a better idea on how to do things. Widows are from dr chronic, same as the lowryders. Seedsman.com, I think it's the same site. I'd tell you how to make it darken up, but looking at my track...

Day 57... I measured the pH of the runoff water today. I balanced the water to 7.0 then collected the first drops that came out the bottom. Readings: Healthy female: 6.08 Female #2: 6.09 Largest white widow: 5.79 Unhealthy seedling: 5.95 Retarded looking one: 6.31 Retard #2: 6.69 Oregano: 6.15...

I measured my runoff from pots today using water I balanced to 7.0 ph. The runoff from most where about 6.0-6.3, one was 5.79. Is this the value of my soil ph? These numbers are not near 6.5-7.0, so I added about a teaspoon of dolomite lime just under the top soil. Is this the right thing to...

Grinder, yeah that's what I need. A ph meter I can justify buying, a grinder, maybe not :-) Maybe I'll drill 50 holes and use a file. Ghetto approach. LEDs....I reckon I'll try a panel out again considering I have them already. Maybe I'll grow some legal herbs as a test. I would get my money...

Thanks mate, I'll do something like that soon. I have to figure out how to cut a hole in the wall of the metal shed first.

Comparison pics from 4 days ago. It's amazing how much they have improved... It could be like a fat loss ad.

Day 55... They are looking real nice with the lowryders now. They are green and lush, and the growth is perfect. Such a change from what they were. It is probably the new nutes, not sure how much the new CFL is doing to them. Oh well, when things are good there's not much need to play around...

I got another soil ph test kit in the mail today. Did a few tests...it pissed me off so bad that I went researching on the net for a digital one. Went for a drive and bought one for $80. After some screwing around calibrating it I have it figured out. Redid to the tests from before, now I know...

Oh man a bunch of retards like mine :-) I made so many mistakes at the beginning and they suffered. I think I'm back on track now though. Looks like you watered way too much. I agree try doing a proper experiment and only misting half of them and leave the other ones alone. You see if it works...

Your plants look really light green like my seedlings. Maybe it's just the flash. Mine are growing so slow as seedlings, I think it may be a ph issue in the soil though. I repotted them yesterday into different soil. I broke many roots doing this but I think it will be worth it if they start...

My males showed before the females also. Regarding repotting, just put your hand over the soil with the stem between your fingers then turn it upside down and remove the pot to check the roots. If you slide it carefully you won't cause any damage, if you go berserk and throw it against a wall...

Looking nice and healthy. I think you should top runt though, just snip the top of it just above a node. The branches under where you snip will grow nice and bushy. It shouldn't cause too much stress. For example when a bonsai is replanted it's branches are normally trimmed quite a bit at the...

Damn, that's so much easier. I'll do that then.

Ordered a 120mm computer fan for some exhaust. It's not that bad at the moment, but things are pretty sealed up in the shed. I bought some random transformer from ebay that outputs 12V which I'll cut up the lead to attach. Have to make something to stop light coming out of fan vent. Maybe a...

Umm, 1 bad thing I just thought off. What if those LEDs weren't the problem! Doh. Another experiment later maybe....

Wow, I just compared the pics. They have improved so much. I may have solved the problem I had before which I think was pH issues when using that particular seaweed fertilizer I had before. I'm guessing it was locking out Nitrogen from the plants. The leaves are so much greener and the growth...

Day 53... Good news, they're actually starting to grow. More good news, replacement CFLs came so I turned it on yesterday aswell. Taking the male out of there before those pollen sacks pop. New 125W CFL. Temps have gone up a bit to about 25-26C. Switched the bigger reflector to the HPS...

Tent setup looks great.
