Aight guys here is the link to my old journal where this grow started. You can get the skinny on where I'm at right now. I moved up to HID so started a new journal. https://www.rollitup.org/indoor-growing/209392-greenfirekilla420s-dresser-grow-box.html I have new pics of how I've changed things around in the tent. I've sucessfully lowered temps like 13 degrees. Ten degrees was due to me using my intake fan now as an exhaust, taking the glass out of my reflector, moving things around inside, and finally I got an idea to freeze some two liter bottles and put 'em right by the fan that dropped like 2-3 degrees but hey anything to get a couple down right? The BUKU is coming back from the overwatering and I retopped all the TSS plants (still haven't gotten rid of them they are nice to look at hahahaha) Well without further adue here are the pics.

Thanks Gypsy, means alot coming from a pro like you. I'm pretty content with it right now. When the money is available I'm moving up to a 6" inline ditching the stanely fan and getting another one of those black fans and hanging on the opposite side just like the other. LOTS of fans lol but when fall and winter hit I'll be in a good spot. It does get decently cold here. Still no nutrients on the BUKU and haven't watered her since sunday, I'm trying to stretch it till this sunday see if she is fully recovered from the over watering.... Who knows I might go a couple days past just to make sure. I know the signs of when plant needs water and god knows I go in there like once every two hours hahaha. Anyways thanks for for the compliments bro. Stay tuned got a lil over three more weeks of veg then 12/12 after that should make for some pretty hefty colas.

Hey GFK.
Good to hear you've got the temps down to an acceptable level. Good job.
Keep an eye on ya little Buku girl, she'll let you know when she needs more water.
A plant that size in that much soil won't need watering too often until she gets a little bigger.
Make her grow roots to find the moisture, this will make her strong.
It's always better to keep them on the dryer side of things in soil.
All the best for this grow mate, I'm looking forward to it.

Aight so not so much about MJ or anything but I gotta tell someone since I can't tell anyone for a couple weeks. Well here goes...... I'm pretty sure or we are pretty sure that my girl is pregnant. She has done taken 5 tests one every morning for 5 days and the damn lines keep gettin darker every day!!!!!! :wall: :wall: :wall: Each one says positive :wall: is what I meant to say with the positive line gettin darker every day :wall: hmmmmm don't quite know what or how to feel right now just kinda blah. She was pregnant earlier this year and we lost it at about 7 weeks this is the reason I can't tell anyone..... I just don't know what to think until I see the picture on the ultrasound haha. Oh also my girl wants to know from any ladies or anyone who has had a kid if the mom smoked while being pregnant and if it helped or hurt the process. All feedback welcome..... Anyways ummmmm I'm out to go stare at the grow tent hehehehe wish I had some damn bud oh well tommorow is another day I can try and find some lmao. Till then I got good 'ol coors light hmm hmm hmmmm hmmm hm.

Well I'll be puttin in a word to the big guy for ya mate.
Congratulations on the fertilization ;)
All the best for you and ya gal!
Kids are great, after age 4 that is... lol.

My sister smoked all the way through pregnancy.
My wife is a product of a smoking pregnancy.
Mostly it hinders growth a bit. eg. small babies.
That can only be a good thing if birthing natural lol :lol:

Seriously though, it's best to give the liitle one the best chance possible by doing ya best at cuttin back and stopping the cheeba, etc.... during gestation.

Very happy for ya GFK!

Hey Green! Look great! Gonna pull up a seat! We have to work on our temps as well.

I agree with Mammath. The first trimester is very crucial. She shouldn't take or do anything. The only thing she can take is a tylenol and that's IF she really needs it. After 18 weeks, it is a little easier to take medication (if needed) and should be prescribed by a doctor. Even Dr's are skeptical about prescribing medications to a pregnant woman, unless they really need it. Every woman is different, but being that she already has a history, I wouldn't do anything. This is just in the best interest of the baby. And when she does get a little further along, tell her to ask the doc about a glass of wine here and there. It's supposed to be very good for them. Congrats to you both and wish you all the best! PM me if you ever have any questions.

Thanks Mamm, and NYB for the support, she figured she would have to slow down. She has already cut back alot went from smoking with me everytime to about once a day the other day she didn't even smoke. Last time she asked some of her friends who had kids if they smoked and they all said yes. I think her voice on the inside is getting the best of her though and she is gonna cut WAY back or just stop completely. I know she has to stop the last trimester if she tests positive for THC they will take the baby away from us as soon as its birthed. I can't wait for the first doctors app. lol I wanna see this thing not look at a peice of plastic for reassurance haha. Anyways plants are going good I'm still not too found of where my temps are at. Also I have black gnats pesky lil fuckers they are. I spray the soil once a day with organocide to try and counteract 'em but it seems like everyday there is another one in the mix. Hopefully the mix of not watering her for a bit and the organocide will take care of it.

No prob... keep in mind that I believe it has been linked to behavioral problems & neurological defects. And of course, not in everyone, but even a small percentage is enough to scare you! Good luck!

And GNATS!!!! arrggghhh! I had them and they were a pain in the azz!! I am gonna do everything I can this time to avoid those bastids!

Ya the gnats are pesky they seem to be pretty strong against everything I do to them. I'm pretty sure they are here cause the soil was never given proper time to dry out. I thought I picked up a pack of 5 1gl grow bags but it was a pack of 5 3gl grow bags. The BUKU is still a bit small for the 3 gl bag so I gotta hold out on the watering for a bit longer than a week. The soil is still decently wet about 2" down. I sure can tell she is a damn kush plant lol. Growing ever ever so slow. The TSS seedlings I still have are WAY out growing her and they are still in beer pong cups or 16oz solo cups. Anyways thanks for the support.

Hey GFK.
Concerning the gnats you are right about the fact that too moist soil will attract them.
They are hard little f*ckers to get rid of.
I had them last grow for the first time. They love moist coco.
I used hypoaspis, which are a predator mite that eats there eggs.
They were really expensive and didn't totally get rid of them.
I've heard covering the top of your pot with sand with smother the f*ckers and kill them.
Also you can get companion plant called sundews.
Mared Juwan put me onto them. They're carnivorous plants that catch the adult gnats.
Sticky paper thingys work well too.

Hmmmm I haven't heard about the sundews. I knew about the preditors but I don't have the money for those. Now Sand I have hahaha I live in freaking florida like 10 minutes from the beach. Thanks for the tip Mammath next trip to the beach I'll have to get me a couple sandwhich bags of sand for my girl, and yes some sticky traps as well.

Before you kill your plant with sea salt I suggest maybe some river sand hehe.
I've never used sand because it's hard with my set up but I remember reading plenty on RIU about it's effectiveness against gnats.

Lmao Nice save there Mamm hahaha I woulda been pissed if I killed it hahaha. I dunno I might just see how things are when the soil is real dry. I'll pick up some of those sticky traps till then. I'm not watering till about next wednesday maybe next thursday, the soil is still pretty moist in the bottom which makes sense since the roots are only about 5 inches down on this pot by now.

The main thing I see here on RIU is over watering.
It's that killing them with kindness scenario.
It is difficult when they are small and I over water myself every now and again when my plants are starting out.
You'd be surprised how little they need in the early stages.
Good thing your on the ball with knowing the moisture levels of your soil.
Lifting the pot to judge it's weight is another good method to check moisture levels.

Ya the pot lifting method works fairly well although its what I was doing with the BUKU. I've been reading on here about it and the best advice I could find was when you think it needs water give it another day or two.
