We get a lot of cats in our back garden, they seem to pray on us, i'm thinking of setting up an air rifle to a motion sensor or something.

I really dislike cats, they don't have any purpose other than to scrounge the only reason they stick to you is because they think they will get easy food if that stops then they are off to the next sucker.

Have you ever seen a cat with no fur on its face, they look like pure evil.

yeah, my dog is awesome. He's only 9 months old, and scared to go down my basement steps, keeping my grow area safe.

asiankatie you are doing an awesome job. and im not saying that just because your hot lol. you seem to really have things setup well. i am also of asian heritage and my sisters name is katie, so that is what brought me to your thread. i was like damn my sister is growing? about the cat thing, for some reason my cats dont touch my shit but my 9 month old puppy stands over my shoulder while i work on my grow. occasionally he tries to nibble on the leaves but i think he is more interested on eating my socks. keep up the good work.:peace::joint::peace::joint::peace:

So here's the update:

Due to the "cat incident". I germinated 4 more seeds. so in all i was germinating 5 because i left the one from the last round that didn't germinate in there too. So, of the 5 that were in there 3 of them germinated. and 2 are left in there. of course Im not sure if the "dud" from the first round was one of the germinators (haha) because, of course i didn't label them. uhg. Is that bad? 2 of the 9 so far, not germinating?

Anyway, trying this again, last night i went ahead and planted the 3 "newbies", all of them had long roots, no sprouts, just the seed still attached. So i planted all 3, with the "survivor" from round 1 in the middle. As of today 2 of the 3 have sprouted out of their seeds, and one still remains but looks to be shedding it very soon. Our Survivor has since given us some nice roots though.

Here are some pictures..

Here we have all 4 ladies, (we'll call them ladies in a hopeful way to try and coax them into being female.. ^_-) our survivor, and the 3 new additions..



Here's a closer picture of our survivor, on the new leaves theres a small hole in one of them? is that normal? er...


AND here is a survivor's roots: YAY


Question though, at what point do i add nutes? I was told about 2 weeks but since the middle on will be about a week ahead of the other 3.... any thoughts?

add nutes now if you haven't already, in hydro you need nutes because its not like soil. Soil has microorganism that break down shit and provide nutes to the roots, but in hydro its just water and secondary nute which is cal,mag,iron ect from your tap water.

yes hydro needs nutes to survive, im guessing you don't have a tds meter so 1/4 dosage so very very light nute mix should be 300-400ppm

even though, three of the plants were just planted yesterday?

well by the 3rd week, they will be more than ready to handle full nutes. so if you do it by the 4th week of the survivor (3rd week for the new ladies), everything should work out just fine.

don't worry, by that time you'll have a pretty good feeling of what to do, beside the plant will be pretty big.

AHHH thank you. as far as electricity goes.. 20-30 dollars. thats what my bill is ANYWAY. you don't think it's gonna look suspicious having it double?! that's crazy. I don't know, we'll see... for now ill leave them like that. but in a week or so, i'll make a more educated decision.

Well, i wanted to keep my MH, and just get a conversion bulb which will actually put it at 150 hps i think. :\ i dunno, GYP said it would prob be enough. well see how they start looking as they get bigger and make the call then. i just don't really want to be spending a whole lot more money just yet. Im super poor and barely afforded what i have @ the moment. I DO have 2 of the same MH lights though, if that's any difference. i just dont know that i could hang both of them in there, theyre pretty heavy and the closet rod thinger isnt the most sturdy thing ever. But like i said, we'll try and just play it by ear for the time being.

The water is doing just that. its about an inch from the bottom of the nets, so with the bubbles as you can see in that picture, it spashes the rocks as you can see the dots of water on the empty container. it doesnt even touch the rocks though, it just splashes them. it's perfect. the one that sprouted first, that is pictured... has a single root coming down. 25 hours! and already. they grow so fast. it's like everyday there's something new.

I think i kinda get what your saying about the digi. but im so deliriously tired right now ill read it in the morning and mess with it. thanks for that <3

I have read several places that you need a period of darkness(18/6) because that is when the photosynthesis happens.

photosynthesis is the conversion of light energy and nutes into sugars. The key word is LIGHT. The only reasons for a dark period is because a plant can only take in so much light per day. It also helps regulate the plants biological functions but that doesn't come into play until you flower.

whether you use 18/6 or 24/0 really comes down to personal preference. there really isn't a whole lot of evidence to suggest either one is better.

really i read 24/0 is best... im certainly not doing it because i like wasting energy...

OHHH so i got some nutes. FoxFarm Grow Big. ^_________^

It says on the bottle:

Recirculating systems: 2 tsp per Gallon

Aggressive Strength: 3 Tsp per gallon

Foliar Feeding: 1/2 tsp per gallon. Use a pump sprayer and apply to both sides of leaves early in morning best.

I'm guessing since 3 are only 2 days old.

and 1 is.. like a week.

use like 1/4 tsp per gallon?
