hEy bro, another thing,,, get to know the wieghts of your pots when they're dry and wwhen they're watered. Don't throw them on a scale or anything:lol: but just by picking them up, you'll have an idea. It's all about the feel baby! lol:hump: peace bro:leaf:

This is a great point.

If you know how they feel dry, its a better way to gauge when you should water again than pokin your fingers around and such.

Ok... you guys didn't respond quick enough. So... I didn't mix the root stuff into the soil... and I forgot to put any below the clones when I put them in.

Also, this morning I took them outside and placed in the shade... but while I wasn't paying attention the sun was beating down on the girls... beat them down. The looked like cooked noodles when I finally saw them. Oops.

They still had never been watered at this point, so I figured that would be a good thing. I gave each plant 1 gallon of RO. Forgot to ph adjust... should be ok.

Now.... this is serious.

I think I am in love. In love.... with dirt. I can't be sure yet... need to feel things out a little, but there is something insanely beautiful looking about those little plants in their own pot of beautiful soil. It's just... well.... beautiful.

I can sing to my plants in the closet... but I can dance with my little soil babies. I did a little waltz with one... not sure which one.

I feel closer to you soil guys. Jesse, don, Dr. G, kevin... we are a tiny step closer to God.

It's been a few years since I did something I truly enjoyed more than playing with my dirt.

Glad to have you along tahoe. It's a wonderful gift to be able to notice beauty and extraordinary opportunities. I feel like you have that gift... and it makes all the people you talk to happier.

:mrgreen:

I fotgot to mention... about 10 minutes after watering they perked up and held their fan leaves up... and a few hours on they look just as good as ever.

Haha... off to go mess with my hydro.

Dr. G. might also get the irie vibe because I've rocked to Pato Banton most of my life... Roots Rock Reggae...

I've also read up on Rastafarai... good stuff there. You follow rastafarai?

Everything looks good Jig!

Mix 1 table spoon of the Root Zone on top of the soil. It is water souble and will be better than nothing. Its not essential, just a nice bonus that helps the roots develop faster and more healthy.

I know I LOVE my soil! Jig you gotta come up and sample this Blueberry once its all said and done, its gonna be some 10/10 smoke I think. I am excited for you bro!

Looking good man, I like how you are really digging the soil, it does feel 'right' to be growing Mary in some dirt, the way Nature intended.

You should check out Subcools subforum under organic growing. He's got a super soil recipe that he uses in 7 gallon pots and just uses water with no nutes whatsoever throughout the entire grow. If and when I get the room, that's gonna be my preferred way of growing.

Thanks for the thread. I'll check it out. My buddy thor was telling me one time how to setup a plant for outdoor that you never touch... just get different layers of nutes and bone meal and crap... then just set a dripper hose on it and a timer.... few months later it's done.

I like being a little more hands on, but how awesome would it be to plant it and forget it till harvest. Maybe do that with a plant or two see how it goes.

Not outdoors... they just get to visit them.

At night now things are getting down around 65, but that will only last another month or so... then it's freezing. Lots of snow on the grount. Not the best growing environment.

Here are the plants this morning: (soil... sour grape... casey jones)

Damn Jig those vertical ladies are getting majorly bushy, looking super nice :blsmoke:
And the soil mix looks real good too dude, it is going to provide some major drainage for your ladies and they will love that.
This is really starting to get awesome now, the plants are all going to be growing like weeds now :mrgreen:

Thanks for reading it stewey... glad you are on board.

DG... you told me I'd love soil... I wasn't sure if I beleived you or not... but man were you right. Very zen indeed.

I like having the plants all together. It's crazy seein the growth of the hydro girls right next door.

Tom... the vert girls are getting even bushier, and the soil ladies are startig ever so sligtly to grow. The look so damn pretty.

No pics tonight, sorry guys. Tomorrow.

Anyhow, I'm getting to the point where I need to start pulling stuff off. I figure the no brainer stuff would be the branches growing strait back away from the light. The screens are going to be plenty full, so I'm looking for stuff to pull.

So the branches facing the light... directly growing at it... I know I could tie them sideways, but like I said the screens are going to be plenty full, so I dont need anymore along the sides of the main stalk. That being said, I don't know if I should just rip the branches growing at the light strait off... or should I leave the very bottom budsite... (the one closest to the stalk) so that I can have buds all up the stalk.

We can discuss further trimming as things go on.

Also, should I trim a little each day... spread it out?

:peace:

EDIT: I got unlazy and took pics. First are of what I pulled tonight off the Casey Jones. Then a trip around the room... the sour grape soil, sour grape hydro, casey jones hydro, and finally purple kush soil. Is that a closet or what?
