LOL....I had someone tell me PH isn't important...as its killing one of my plants. I have a few paitents that i help with getting started...There finally giving up on there CFLs...I was just looking at his room....It needs more light....I talked him into a 400 HPS conversion bulb...Now im gonna work on getting him to upgrade to a 600 HPS... He's gonna order when I order soon.

How often do you water? I only have to water every 5 to 7 days..

Being on a budget is bull shit....We just need a few thousand apiece that we can spend on the rooms and well be straight...A couple more months :hump:

some people are stupid... it just doesnt surprise me anymore when i read shit.. people STILL think there is THC in the stem and thats why they hang them upside down.. fuckin unreal..

i started out with the floros i have.. they worked great.. and if it wasnt for the fact it would cost 4000 for enough of them to cover the flower room the way i want i would prolly get them.. i wish they would come out with a 1000w HO floro ballast.. i would GLADLY spend the money on them.. i garuntee a 1000w HO floro would stomp a 1000w HPS.. damn.. that would be a badass comparison.. i'd like to compare a 400w mh/hps to one of my floros.. just to see.. would be a cool comparison...

i water my girls about every 2 to 3 days. .sometimes i can get away with 4 days.. but remember i have multiple plants in each pot.. so they use water up a lot faster...

budgets do suck bad.. real bad... in order for me to expand they way i want it will cost 4 grand about.. me and my partner will split that.. so itll be 2 grand a piece.. but i need about 2 grand to make some payments and shit.. so i need to hit that 2 pound mark to make sure i can cover my half... even if we falls short i plant on purchasing 2 more of the floros i have... that will give me an almost solid light canopy in the veg room... if have to run one more harvest where i veg and flower on the same side of my room, at least ill have another 88000 lumens to add in...

I love those flouros....Id like to see a comparison also. LOL...How big would the bulbs for 1000watt HO flouro be..

Im glad not to have the pressure of having to hit a certain mark...I just need to cover my smoke and Pick up another light. I should get there no problem.

I love having two rooms to grow in....I need a bigger light in there...Then im gonna strip the walls down....I built too small because it used to be my laundry room. I decided to support the laundry service down the street and make more room for the Ladies :hump:

yo sampson, you say no TCH in the stems? cause i have a x100 Microscope and my stems are coverd in resin...along with every leaf on my plant(obviously not as much as my nuggggss)...and obviously the resin on the stems dosent drip into the nuggs when upsidedown.... not trying to sound like a jerk but just wondering what your talking about, and i would be interested in the HPS vs Floros:peace::joint:

i dont think the bulbs would get bigger.. just either more per ballast or stronger bulbs.. each ballast right now holds 4 bulbs.. and they are only about as thick as a sharpie maybe...

you'll definatly get enough to get a new light and some personals.. i should put the pressure on myself to hit a certain mark.. just is my goal mark.. no matter what i get some new shit and some fire smoke right??

i think i might be turning my bedroom, or half of it at least, into a drying room... need a place for that and havent figured it out yet...

i guess i will modify my statement about the THC... there is little to no thc in the stems... most of the resin glands are found in and around the flowers, which are what the resin is made to protect... the stems have a trace amount since the resin is the defense of the plant.. but not enough to write home about be any means.. basically the whole point of the statement was that there are people out there who still think that you have to hang your plant upside down because there is THC in the stems that will run down into your buds.. which is NOT true at all.. but you are right.. there is a tiny amount of resin that covers the stems, and the closer to the flower the more that leaves are covered by resin..

I think I am going to take a closet and make a drying room....

I topped my seedling known as S-1 and cloned the top...It finally has taken. Im glad to see it took...I have never had trouble with cloning.

I hope this smoke tastes half as good as it smells...

Wow looking good. You are blessed not to have any pests as it appears to me. Are you still brewing your tea as in the beginning???

I have been very lucky not to have any pests...I had mites to start. I am surprised not to have any others though.

Yes I am still running organic tea. I really like them, I should do an experiment with it. I have seen all kinds of fertilizer challenges etc...never a handmade. I got rid of the air stones when I was brewing...I think the beneficials love the bigger air bubbles.

I am going to give them one more feeding today...I cant decide if I should let them go and start flushing now...Or If I should give a light feeding...I kinda need to decide in the next couple hours.

The main problem I have with the organic tea is preparing it 24 hours in advance.

I think Im gonna gradually work my way into using a "super soil", and just use plain water...maybe work on a drip system and a pump, with a timer...see what im thinking. I figure I could whip up a veg tea to handle deffciencies. I left a couple dark pics...Hopefuly they finish up soon. Thanks for stopping in Slippery:peace:
