The quote I pulled from Tetra was on page 7 of this thread... He posted a pic of a nutrient listing. I recognized it because I read that book with every deuce I drop. Handy little book to have by the shitter. Page 262 in case you were wondering:blsmoke:

I wasn't trying to be a dick, I am the new guy to this forum, so I don't want to step on any toes... I admire all the hard work you guys put into your gardens, and once I am free from the bonds of servitude, I hope to join your ranks.bongsmilie:eyesmoke:

Day 15 of FLOWERING
(Day 52 total)

Here is what they look like, i took a couple clones to do a test and see if i can clone in flowering. uhmm added the c02 bucket and i have fed my plants one time with the bloom nutes (just yesterday)... The pics go in order left to right like a book. :joint::joint:

I also redid my clone chamber, i am going to need to work out some sort of light proof ventilation for it or something, because it gets very wet inside there! :eyesmoke:

I planted the remaining clones i have, i lost quite a few to root rot, because when i cloned them i stuck them too far into the grow plugs.... Beginner mistake i do not plan on making again! bongsmilie

Dr.Shaka, I'm really diggin' those pics your throwing up. You are a consistent poster with a very transparent operation, i.e EXTREMELY HELPFUL!!

I do have one question to piggyback, I really don't see the need to post a new thread(there are too many here anyways) and the answers I have found are a little vague. I was just wondering if any of the experienced growers have ever personally worried about energy consumption, and what they did to combat it. Not just in the sense of "OMG the power company is out to get me" but more in the sense of "OMG my power company is out to get my WALLET!" Catch my drift?

I know some folks have their lights come on only at night so that it doesnt take as much to control temps.. ie less power consuption by a/c. but that would be a geographical cure for some. but sad truth is there are no energysaver on any ballast that I know of and that for me is my biggest energy hit!

It was about 130$ after tax, and on low im told it will last like 9 months and on high it last like 3 months, and its strong in my closet so i have it on low and on my lights timer so its only on for 12 hours a day, but i still think it seeps out of the tube while it is off.. just not as fast... a refill is 99$ before tax, really all you buy is a new bucket and use the pump you bought with the first one, its worth it to me! makes my heat issue much less of an issue!!

If only we could find those mushrooms and whatever else they put in there and mix it ourselves. Not cheap, but definatly not a $400 c02 machine. I like how they tack on an extra $30 for the fishtank airpump... oh well, the market is pure shit, what else can we expect.

Nice info bro.

well, technically all you need is yeast and sugar, the way they have it set up theres like a pvc tube that fits the pump and has holes in it and it mixes up the shit in there i think and then lets the air out or some shit, i really dont understand exactly how it works but i think it could be easily recreated... Honestly though i think it was a well spent 130$. i have poor ventilation and some heat issues, and this should solve both of those in one foul swoop!
i think i will be buying these buckets every time, even if my situation is more ideal!

flush that bitch!!!!! Use twice as much water as the pot holds....ie: one gallon pot = two gallons water!!!

Do that and then wait a few days and give her half normal nute solution. . .. . how much and what have you been feeding her?

:peace: BW~TLB
