yeah i pick the shirt option and ordered last sat. with a credit card i was just curious on how long it takes.your girls look killer what kind of nuits are you planing on feeding the when you flower cause i used some rose food (18-24-24) on some bag seeds i grew last summer in a bucket of horse shit and it only got about 3 feet tall and i got like 7oz after the deer that bedded down beside of it ate what it wanted
You should be getting the beans shortly, they pride themselves on speedy delivery times.I was leary the whole first order.Paranoid mental hallucinations.I'm realizing now that they dont really give a fuck...potheads are harmless folk. As far as the nute regimen, I stay basic...still learning the basics of nute control, and GH Flora seems to be the most user-friendly for me.30 mils per gallon-15mils grow-10 mils micro-5 mils bloom, during veg.And 15 mils bloom/ 10 mils micro/ 5 mils grow.Week 3 of bloom I use 2.5 mils of Open Sesame per gal of R.O. water+ the GH Nutes.It's just a very high phosphorous fertilizer-45 on the P.And thats it, very basic-run-o-the mill beginer stuff.And I cant confirm this...but I have a demented hill-billy, well...I guess we're all hillbillies here, friend that swears that bars of soap, he uses Ivory, hung near the plants, will repel deer...man smell I guess.I dunno...sounds like bullshit to me.But I think the first thing you'll appreciate about growing indoors is the lack of predators.

Lookin good man, like the multiple projects going on and thanks for listing wattages and CFM, makes it easy for me.

Is the glass of your cool tube cold warm or hot to the touch and how many afgani plants did u get that 8 oz from?

Good luck man, glad you got a female,whoop!
thanks bro, the tube is warm, very warm actually, but not to the point where you'd have to yank your hand away.I got 2 OZ per plant from a total of 4-2 gallon hempy buckets, under the cool-tubed 400w hps.I think 400w is a respectable wattage to start with.I've seen folks pull 13-14 OZ from a CO2 enriched 400w hps grow.Heat is not too bad at all to deal with.And AMEN to the pre-flowers, on both gals!!, they we're fem seeds...but seeds none the less.And with the clones, 35 total, I'll have plenty to play with.Too much really.We may need a bigger tent here.

this should probably change the title of this thread: upgraded from 250 mh to 400 mh.So the main flowering chamber is 800 watts now.

and getting even further from the threads title, I'll be adding a 150w hps on the MH side during flower to "boost" the red spectrum over there

so I guess we can deduce that the Church is an easy cloner...you can see that my cloning technique, if you wanna call it that, is about as bare bones as can be.

and the clones are showing roots-so I had to pick up some better bubbling equiptment: so 2 big double airstones+a heavy duty pump.In a day or so the plugs will all have enough roots for me to pick which 8 are going in.The dimensions on the bubbler are 20"x 16"x 22" high.If 8 is too much(if they bush out before they hit the screen I picked up) I'll have to set up another area to flower them(I've got 2-250w CFL's now) decided to go with a 95 CFM exhaust attached to the 150's vented hood.That CFL can be put to better use.All I need for a little ghetto-scrog is a big-ass cardboard box/ a roll of mylar, and a stand for the lights.2-250w cfl's over a scrog should yield a little something...I'm just going to have to get really creative with my other clones.Maybe a cheap ufo to keep them alive.

I was messin around and made this 2x2x 28 inch high sog/scrog cab.Just threw together a bunch of shit I had laying around.I'm going to flower as many of these clones as I can.This scrapped old homebox is, obviously, missing some height.Originally 4 ft tall- I cannibalized the legs for another project- it was all tore up, and I didnt think I'd use it again.Cut her down, over-lapping the split tent, and doing some seamstress work with zip-ties.LOL the freakin fan sitting on top of the thing...ghe-toe

Nice ladies. I've got 2 churches going right now along with Pot of Gold and Big Buddha Cheesus from the attitude. They are about 3 weeks in and looking good. One of the churches has some wierd traits, the leaves on the third nodes are in an alternating pattern. Never seen that before. Interested to see how the buds turn out, hopefully dank. WIll be checking in to see your progress.
