All strains will be mainlined for 4 heads.

So yeah, feel free to comment or just tag a long for the ride, hopefully this one will work as well as the Sin City grow :)

I'll be flowering out 8 bro. 8 seemed to work well last grow, got some decent buds out of the sin city girls! The P300 seems to be a decent light, perfect for my small grow box. The P450 and P600's I reckon for any larger space. I'm sure you'd kill it indoors bro, just use soil to start with and go from there!!

sounds good man, im like you preferring soil to soiless, theres just a much better buffer against nute deficiencies with soil & a person can be more relaxed about the medium in general

So it looks like I committed the cardinal sin of putting the ona gel in with my flowering plants..I was wondering why I had a chemical flavour in my joints and why it was in all the strains. Turns out it has absorbed into the terps and now I'm left with buds that smell and taste like friggen ona gel :( at least it hasn't affected the high lol. Lesson learnt for next time!

Nice, how long do you veg for? I am doing 4 plants and 1 small straggler in a solo cup (didn't have the heart to kill it, but didn't have the space to repot it) in my 2x2x4 right now. Using a Cheapo LED, Galaxy Hydro 300w. I got carried away on vegging though - it's a THICK canopy.

Ya I have a journal going now, check it out! embarrassed to say I'm not exactly sure what subbing is yet lol

I usually veg for about 4 weeks and then flip, once the girls show their pretty faces I transplant and they usually end up a pretty good size. Lol, it's quite easy to get carried away hey, it's easy just to cut off what you don't want but expect it to get big buds! I'll check out your thread mate. Subbing means 'subscribing' :)
