you are definetly looking good....watch how much they thicken up in the next 2 weeks...its like magic
My little experiment
- Thread starter satman rocks
- Start date
using an envirolight you may not want to veg them nearly that long.

thats a good idea,bfq.I will have to do that,when I have more than 6 females
yeah, at first it isnt a big deal... but right now i have 10 plants in flower, 2 mothers and a butt load of clones going... i harvest 2-4 plants at a time... and three strains going at the moment... it gets chaotic quickly

hey guys im surprised im still awake only 2 horus of sleep last night but neways,lol wha soil shold i by satman for when i am going to transplant from the cup?someone said Scotts Potting Soil is good,and some people told me Miracle Grow potting soil,im a kind of person that only has Home Depot and Walmart! lol just let me know what u think i should use,cause of course u r Satman the beast! lol
because you dont have the lights to handle a big plant... long vegging time makes for bigger plants.
bigger plants sound good except the envirolight doesnt have the penetration... so you will wind up with a big and whispy plant instead of a smaller, tight nugged plant.
i grow mine under a ScrOG and keep my plants small and short and am getting over a half ounce of dry from my plants on average... not a whole lot, but if you keep in mind they are not 8 inches tall and about 12 inches around....
the ones i grew to almost 3 foot (using ALL my vertical space) yielded about 7 grams... keeping em short and wide with my lights sitting RIGHT on them makes a larger yield than growing bigger plants.
from seedling i veg for 16 days. from clone, i dont veg at all.

hey bears,wb,what kind of soil are you using in the 3 gallon?
i think Scott's bought MG out... 6 of 1, half dozen of the other
if you use a soil like that be sure to cut it will plain (no nutes) perlite to prevent burning.
i start all my seedlings in cups like that so they take less space and waste less soil if they get culled... they grow for me in those for about a month... but some growers do them for longer like that and some for less time... watch for root bound conditions.

thanks for the props!
but i gotta disagree, that thread is all you man... i aint much for starting threads and i certainly aint reliable enough to keep it going
the MG and Scott's soil both have nutes in them... you will see a "Guaranteed Analysis" statement on the packaging... more and more manufacturers are sneaking the same kind of crap into what should be inert substances like perlite and vermiculite... adding the two together makes for a toxic level of nutes so you want to make sure your perlite doesnt contain any.
and by cut it, i just mean mix it.. 80% soil/20% perlite.

My soil came from walmart too,but I wouldn't recommend it...I will tell ya why....GNATS....thats the only bugs I have found in 3 months.
If you are gonna try and buy nutes,go with fox farm soil...on a budget,Walmart,well,our choices are kinda limited there...expert gardener,miracle gro,and I think they carry scotts...If they do,scotts would be my choice for what you have in mind....you won't need nutes til flowering,and we can shop around and find something that meets your budget and still gets the job done....don't forget to keep an eye on the daily tips thread,got some great growers stopping by and leaving tips...you will get good info from these guys
