Im usin rockwool for the seedling once i germ her, so is running the pump 24/7 a good idea?? also, should i get an airstone for the rez??

The rock will be good for a day at a time till the roots start to come out of it. From there I haven't grown in only Hydroton, but I think you run it in long intervals with short breaks.

As for the air stone the most defiantly.

I don't think the hydroton holds much water, so you have to run the pumps for longer periods of time. Thats y it just the drip coming out, so it doesn't over water them. Is it getting any water in the middle of the pot, that would be my main worry, that the seedling might not get enough water until the roots get bigger.

I got me a new cardboard box K1ng... not as nice as yours... but it's mine... all mine... my precious...

Good shit K1ng. I've been lurking around for awhile and have to say thanks for getting me into bondage! I was updating my grow regularly until poking around here led me to believe I had a male...

I was super depressed and had faith... and it turns out that a lot of people have no idea what they are talking about. It's a girl! I love my new HPS... you will resent wasting all your time with cfls, I do.

I started LSTing my girl and it is a bush. I like it so much I might start tying up the gf! (J/K... But seriously...) That plus the HPS has made it super good looking. I will actually update again soon...

Just wanted to say good job and good luck!

Back to lurking...

Hey k1, I got my supplies. Going to wait til monday to build my box, but I have everything. My seeds are almost done germing. Going to plant tommorrow, and just start them out of the box. Got a shitload of stuff though, so i'm going to start my grow journal in a few minutes, even though its a little early. Check it out, should be in my sig soon.

X2! looking great! + rep

ill check u out spida, post that link up soon!!

N not shit gypsie, just twiddlin my fuckin thumbs waitin for my lights, lol thats all im waitin on n then i can start germin - its fuckin mind numbing.

N btw, i decided im gonna do 4 strains this grow - probably 8 plants, but maybe 10, depends on how froggy im feelin.

Gonna do White Berry, Northern Soul in my hydro setup cuz its a sativa n im curious to see how itll do it some dro, n my Twilight n Blue Cheese. I got in on the free offer over at attitude, n im glad i waited. They changed up the free seeds from Thai Super SKunk to Power Skunk, so now ill have 5 seeds of both that im keepin in a baggie fulla banana peels for a couple months, to see if they feminize. paid about 12 bucks - seeds were free, 12 bucks for shipping. I called n ordered over the phone cuz i was kinda put off by the website bein changed. PLayed it safe n called up, n didnt opt for the tshirt this time, but the dude told me the stealth would be cool, n he garunteed the delivery. Nice guy too, lol.

N Dank, thanks for the props man, be sure to keep your eyes peeled. I might just start my new grow in this journal, but i might make another one n keep this one goin too, since i got two plants still flowering from this grow. Im gettin impatient now though, lol everyday my buds are filling in more n more, n it sucks that i kept them so small, cuz now its lookin like i might get like a 1/4 to a 1/2 oz per plant.

I know that aint TOO bad, but i want fuckin YIELDS man - i guess i cant ask for more than just success in general for a first grow though, eh?


Anyways, ill take some more pics in a day or two, im on the hunt. Makin sure that im not forgetting anything - got me a ph-moisture-temp meter for soil (just the metal rod with the green box on top), and im bidding on a truncheon in ebay, so hopefully ill get that shit for the cheap. Other than that, im pretty sure i got everything i need to do the damn thing.

wish me luck,

-K1.

Well, it should be in my sig, but if anyone can help me to edit the signature to make the link right, please PM me. Thanks. Here it is just incase.

Ok so King your talkin about wanting yields, and I know I mentioned the SCROG thread, earlier but I never posted the link. 10.5 oz dry sold me on the technique, and I know you like bondage. https://www.rollitup.org/indoor-growing/90011-4x4-600w-scrog-3rd-wk.html might be a great way to maximize you yield, set up a net part way up you tent, it would also help prevent them from getting to tall for you tent. Didn't you way that your tent was 2x4x5, I don't think I would try to cram 10 plant, 8 would give you 1 per sq ft, which is always a good number to go by. If you Scroged it, I'd say do 4 plants, save some of your good seeds(you can always clone later) and prolly get a huge yield!!!!

lol, im also gonna blow the brains outa my original growbox, and spring for the extra cash to buy me another ballast so i can run my MH in one box n a HPS in another. I already got a cooltube, and the lights that are on the way come with a batwing. The reason im gonna do this is because i can run the MH in the small box for a couple weeks, and then put another HPs bulb in there, and lollipop all my clones. N yeh, im probably gonna do more like 9 plants - im gonna do 1 Northern Soul in my hydro setup(my only sativa dominant strain), n then im gonna set up the other strains in dirt. ill be growin each strain i have that im not savin for my big grow, except for my freebies cuz their not feminized(even though ive had the Super SKunk seeds in banana peels for the last week, im not gonna grow them out yet.) . Gonna do 2 White Berry, 3 Twilight, n 3 Bluecheese in soil. I already did the measurements, and im pretty sure ill be alright.


N i do wanna do the ScrOG, but i dont know how well a sativa would fare with a screen over her, yaknow? Does anyone have experience doin a Screen Of Green with sativas??

Seems to me that all you would have to do is train her, like you have yours. Maybe top it a couple more times, to keep the height down, and keep bending down the branches to keep it under the screen. Top it 2-3 times early so it starts out smaller, and bushier. I don't know, just seems it should learn a thing or two from getting tied up lol.

yeah, dont get me wrong, im more than happy with the way shit is developing right now with my girls, but i wanna try somethin different for the next one. I guess my only complaint is that the plant is maybe TOO small, yaknow? if ida let them go without tying them up so MUCH, maybe ida gotta a bigger yield outta them. Ill definitely top them all at least one time, but that might be it. This is all me experimenting for now, trying to find my way for when i get serious with this shit. I want to have them grow to be a couple feet tall even WITH them tied down, so maybe there will be more budsites for the plant to develop. With the plants i have now, they have plenty of sites, but i think that my girls might be a little ass bit underdeveloped. The ones ill have in the tent im gonna grow out, but their clones are gonna get lollipopped, so they all grow short as shit, but with one beefy cola. N next grow im probably gonna try somethin different, until i find the way that works best for me.

Its just interesting to see all the different ways that you can force a plant to form. Tying it down is gonna be something i always do, to make the plants bush out more than just grow vertically, but i need to find some type of happy medium where i can get both height and bushiness.

Hey k1 where did you get your seeds? it seems like you have just one here of this strain, then 2 of such and such strain, etc. Did you order from a site that you could just pick and choose down to the single seed?

grow them bigger K1

lol thanks mane, hehe im gonna bro.

N yeah, i got my seeds from attitude - but when i get my seeds i get 5 seed breeders packs, but every now n then i grab a couple of pick n mix. Ive spent alotta cash in the last month n a half on seeds cuz im stockpiling. I cant decide what i wanna grow, so i just said fuckit im gonna grow 4 different strains, lol. I get a 5 pack rather than doin 1 or 2 of the pick n mix, that way i can grow 2 seeds, n keep clonin them for a couple grows, and if i like them, but wanna grow somethin else for a while, ill have 3 more seeds i can grow a year or two down the road. You never know when this whole gettin seeds from over the pond shit will get shut down man, i say get them while u can. N if it becomes easier, more power to us, but i would rather be safe with 100 different strains of dank, if seedbanks get shutdown and everyone is stuck with growin schwag from mexico or some shit, lol.

The only seeds i didnt order from the Tude was just at the beginning of this week. I ordered a tenpack of some Chemdawg D from BCBudDepot.com . its the only site where i could find anything close to the original Chemdawg, so i picked that shit up while i could afford to. N when the original Chemdawg comes out (which from what i heard Greenhouse seeds is gonna have the strain before xmas), then ill have the OG chemdawg, Plus ill have the remix. Chemdawg D is basically OG Kush xd with NYC Diesel. Chemdawg is OG Kush's mamma, n NYC Diesel was the actual Chemdawg strain, given to some growers in NYC, who renamed it, and fucked with the breeding to make it a little different. So both strains came from Chemdawg, they just recrossed them, and i guess so far its the closest thing to the original because it holds most of the original phenotypes from the OG Chemdawg.

i just checked out that thread a few minutes ago. I cant fuckin believe that was from one plant man. this really makes me think about shit alot harder, lol. But i gotta decide what the fuck to do though man. I cant keep on changin my mind, cuz i got all my equipment bought already, n all i need to do is wait for my lights and its on. So i dont know, maybe ill get the screen eventually, and once they hit like the 2 foot mark ill throw a screen at 3feet and let them poke through like that. I dont fuckin know mannnnnnn, lol. this shit is frustrating. Too many options.

N my seedling looks like shit so far. I peeled the membrane off of the top, cuz the seed was still on the top of the sprout once it busted through the soil, but it was just hangin there so i gently took it off, but the membrane from the inside of the seed was still wrapped around the top of it, it looked like a really big pinhead. The milk leaves were still wrapped up in it, in fetal position. So i did what i thought was best, i took really small tweezers, and a pin, n i gently took the membrane off, and let the milk leaves spread, and green up. But they didnt really green up. They are still white, but the tips are brown n sickly lookin. Kinda worried about that shit. I hope i didnt just waste a seed by fuckin with it too much...

Hey k1, there are 10 free seeds offer without purchase on attitude that I just saw. Forgot the strain already, but its from G13 labs. They look beautiful too!

yeah its 5 free power skunk no purchase necessary. and not to be a downer or anything but i have not heard good things about bc bud depot...
