for some its been a bad year but luckily for me this year has been pretty good. home improvement you say, had a business with my dad for about 4years when the housing went down a couple years ago my builder put the brakes on everything. so that was the end of that. i got a group friends together to place that seed order so we can rack up on the freebies. the light im using now is cfls for veg and that 1000 that i had before. so your saying if i just get the right ballast it will burn both bulbs? that would be awesome. i must look into that, good looking out skeet thanks.

i cut my little ak and two snow auto flowering ones this morning. they stayed really small and i didnt concentrate on them like i should have. but still lots of crystals and great smell, very little nutes so it should smoke clean. i shoot you some pics when trimmed and cured.

Two Blueberry popped yesterday. Today the Sharksbreath #2, the LSD #1 and the Red Dragon popped. The SB root grew up and was curling back down. After a few hours it seemed to struggling so I gently with tweezers got it in the right position. Not sure if it will be ok SO, I put another SB and a LA Confidential x Skunk into germ. I modified my new germ technique. I placed the germ cup in a glass and slowly filled it with water till the water in the glass was equal with the cup totally full. Then set the cup out to drain. It really hydrated the LW and OF. Put in the seeds. Hopefully they will pop quick...Man I hope I don’t end up with TEN plants, LOL

BB 1 & 2


LSD 1

SB 2 the little root was growing ass backerds...

I guess I should not post when Im high...lol The only one that has not shown itself is LSD 2 not SB 2. DUH!

If these last three pop I will have 10 for 10. Cabinet is gonna be CROWDED! lol

The two BBs are stretchin too much. Put my 2' fluro real close and started the fan. Hope this will slowem down and bulk up the stems. My 2' T5 is too intence for them right now. Once they have bigger leaves Ill put the 2' T5 on them. Hopefully by mid next week I can put them under the 4' 8 bulb T5 get this party goin!!!

Oh, and I like your Light Warrior on top Ocean Forest on bottom thing, but you could probably use 1/3 LW and 2/3 OF instead of the other way around. The LW is completely devoid of nutrients, but has the good mycorrhizae and humic acid that helps the seed sprout and the roots grow, so if you sprout into a thin layer of that and let the roots grow down into a thicker bunch of ocean forest with nutrients already available, you probably won't need to fertilize immediately (though a light application of Big Bloom never hurts!).

Doesn't make much difference I guess. Read the directions on the LW carefully though, as they suggest feeding Big Bloom within 5 days or something.

Thanks J. I should have asked you first! lol…I debated on how much OF to add in the bottom. That was my thought on adding the OF so I wouldn’t have to mix up small amounts of diluted nutes just for the seedlings. I thought it might be too much for the seedlings right off the bat. But now that you made me think about it and reading the LW bag again I agree with you. Should have added more OF in the cup. If using LW only the bag says add big bloom within first five days then once germed feed grow big second week.

Thanks for your input. That is what its all about “Fine Tuning the Technique”!!! Having 7 of 8 pop in three days I could not be happier…

What are your thoughts on adding LW to the OF grow pot? What ratio do you think?

Best germ rate I ever had. Rock on LW and my new germ method. Anyone need some rockwool cubes? lol

I am sure having quality fresh beans helps a lot...

Merry Freakin Christmas to me!!! lol...and all my friends on RIU

Again, the LW has mycorrhizae and humic acid, two things ocean forest surprisingly does not, so I think mixing them is good. I just transplanted some clones into a 3-1 mix BioBizz Light Mix to Light Warrior. The BioBizz is just a peat-based grow mix with very little nutrients...I don't like the new South Carolina produced Ocean Forest so I decided to try something new. I love the original cali-based ocean forest though.

So yeah, 3 or 4 parts ocean forest to 1 part light warrior should be good.

Congrats on the perfect germination rate!

I saw your thread on OF. I have a 1/2 bag of the good stuff but need another. Did the bad bag you got have the location of mnfg as SC? Any way to tell from the bag?

The only others my Hydro store carries are: Happyfrog, Readygro, Botanicare Cocogro and I was looking at this one...PRO-MIX 'BX'/MYCORISE™ PRO

Would you use any of these? Shipping on OF from CA is over $50...too much...
