Will do. Like I said I grow outdoors but I start under good ol fashion fluoro tubes then move outside once I think they are big enough to survive. I live with my parents so I can't really have full grown plants in my closet, ya know, haha. My buddy has a 250w hps setup he said he will sell me for $50 since he just upgraded and doesn't need it anymore. Thinking about just saying fuck it and growing a few short autos in the closet. Not sure if my closet will be able to handle a 250w hps though. It is pretty high, about 3 feet, but is only 2 1/2 feet wide and only 20 inches deep. Might run into some heat problems so that why I stick with the fluoros.

I used cfls with my last grow and they work really nice.. I was sceptical about the HPS heat output but I definately do not regret buying my 400watter. I'd jump on that 50 dollar hps and even if you don't use it.. save it for when you are out of your parents place.

Those are looking good for sure!

I am having a rough time with my green-o-matics. Poor germ rate, poor growth. I assume it is somthing I am doing, but not sure. I think I might start one of these sharksbreath and see what happens

bro I started with 10 gom seeds. I have 2 left and 3 that actually sprouted and lived. I think I had them too close to the lights and they dried up super fast. either that or they just plain suck. I have def got my heat situation under control so we will know what's the real deal when I start up these last 2 gom seeds.

The xmas tree one will be a little over 6 weeks from seed this friday.. and the bushy one is a week behind.. the description says they are "commercially ready" in 7 weeks. I really doubt that but we will see next week wont we?! Ill just take it week to week from there and see how they look.

I'm fairly sure they are going to smoke like the white dwarf (which I really enjoyed btw) you can check that whole grow out in my sig.. it's a full journal.

it's probably genetics... Most of these strains are so new, that they haven't really had a chance to stabilize... I think the auto strains are only going to get better............ All in good time.

that's no good... At least you got it in check now, right?

Yep. I was watering everytime the top of the pot looked dry. After some reading that isnt good! So I didnt water at all today and I already see a improvement. I have one more germing so when that one comes out I will apply what I have learned to that one

yeah bro, too much water takes oxygen from roots...I usually will let the soil "DRY OUT" completly< this way the roots get oxygen and searches out for water< which in turn makes the root mass bigger, which = bigger plants!!!!!!!GL

Great thread man, it has given me the confidence to place an order with seedboutique for 5 fems, whihc i am completing right now. Im going to be using the same light and everything. Just wondering, what kind of yield is expected from one of these baby's? Either way im a small percy grower with no time for a full grow, so these will do :weed::weed:
Also, i heard that these were low odor, is that right? I have a carbon scrubber, inline fan, and variable speed controller (i think thats what its called, been a while since i bought it :wall:) but i dont want to crack it out if i dont have to. JWW
Anyway, great grow and keep the bud porn coming, ill be pulling up a chair :leaf:

I ordered from Additude regardless of what anyone else says about them. I have placed 4 orders and all 4 have shown up with my exact order plus the freebies each time. I like them.

As for yield I'm not sure seeing that the only folks Ive seen grow this strain are right here in this thread and I believe I'm the furthest along?

The odor is very minimal I have no odor protection and you cannot smell these ladies out of my grow space. I only have a fan blowing the hot air from around the plants.

what I do is water the soil before you plant the seed. then make a 1/2" hole and pop your germed seed in the hole and cover it up. Then I put it off to the side of the HPS. just off so that it gets light but not intensely. after her head pops out let her sit in the same spot for a day or so and then you can move her closer into the light.

then I let the soil get bone ass dry and the plants look like they wanna croak and water with tap water left out for a few days.
