[Heads Up]

Thanx Dez! I think it might be too low too. Do you know what ph I should aim for with Sunshine mix 4?
I was using the ph strip thing b4, now I have it set with a meter to 6.0
The strips ar not accurate, but told me 6-6.5

In my opinion, in soil you should be fine with a ph anywhere between six and seven, even a touch above seven.

I am a little hesitant to chop tho...she keeps busting out fresh calyxs on the top of the nuggs....the rest of the buds look done for sure...looked at trichs before the lights kicked on with the 60-100x scope and she was all cloudy with probably 25% amber...giving her a little more than a week to go

Amber trichs are a sign that they are past their peak and are starting to degrade into cbn if I remember correctly. Amber will promote a couch lock high.

Whew....I spaced them out between pics and I fixed it....she was germed in the first weeks of Nov....and flipped to 12/12 probably around the 2nd or 3rd of Jan.....so tomorrow should be around the start of week 9...I think....It's late!!!LOL

Endls, some strains will keep throwing out pistils, try cutting your lights on time back an hour or two. Your plant looks great, great job.

You can get a cheapo combo meter at home depot, it gives you ph, moisture and light levels. You just have to let it sit in the dirt for a couple of minutes to get an accurate reading.

I think you've gone too far with the new avatar. I can't stop staring and it's driving me a bit mad, lol. I think the wifey will be in trouble later, hehe.

I couldn't agree more, that is exactly my tastes in bodies. Wish I had a wife or even a good friend to get into trouble with, that is hot.

Outdoor, I have grown in everything from a complete grow in a party cup to half gallon grow bags, one gallon grow bags and smart pots. Two gallon smart pots and three gallon trash cans. Now I'm using three gallon smart pots for this grow. I transplant twice before they finally go into the three gallon pots and then I veg them for about two to three weeks more in the three gallon pots to make sure they establish a good root system before I finally flip them. I find three gallon containers to be ideal for indoor for me. I don't want monster plants but I also don't want midgets. With three gallon pots the plants won't get huge yet you still get good yields. I generally like to veg my plants five to six weeks but these may only get four and a half weeks.

Thanx ii is Sunshine mix #4

Sunshine Mix #4 / LA4

Mix #4 is recommended where high air capacity and fast drainage are needed: during winter months, with water and salt sensitive crops, or where frequent leaching is required.

Available Sizes

Available in 110 cu ft; loosefill totes; 55 cu ft; 3.8 cu ft; 2.8 cu ft loosefill.

Ingredients
Formulated with Canadian Sphagnum peat moss, coarse perlite, starter nutrient charge (with Gypsum) and dolomitic limestone.
Applications

This mix is highly recommended for nursery stock, perennials, cutting propagation, hanging baskets and interior-sca


So does this mean a PH of 5.8? I have no idea! The company wont even give me a straight answer.

May I comment. Do away with all of that expensive crap. Get ya' some scott's premium potting mix for containers and add a good bag or two of perlite to it. I also add worm castings, extra spaghnum peat moss and mycorrhizae. You can get the peat moss and the soil and perlite for under twenty five dollars and it makes a lot of soil if you get the, it's either the 1.5 or 2 cubic foot bags. Under ten bucks a piece. I used to buy foxfarm soil but truthfully, I see no difference in the mix I make and foxfarm and it's a helluva' lot cheaper and more convienient. Home depot or Lowes.

Gonna try your mix there on the next grow....I'm done with FoxFarm Soil.....I've grown in MG organic before and have not seen any advantage to buying FF other than the pretty bag!!! What brand of myco do you use???

 

[Heads Up]

Endls, I'll get back to you in a second with the answer...never mind, it's plant success. When I have it there is also a form to sprinkle into your soil before you pot your plants but I find the stuff that dissolves in water to be the best. I can give them a new dose of mycorrhizae any time I feel like it. I also use rhizotonic for the first few waterings and once a week maxicrop.

For a mix of two cubic feet I add two bags of perlite. I try for a ratio of about sixty percent soil, forty percent peat moss. To that mix I add two bags of perlite and a couple/five pounds of worm castings. I have been using that mix for the past two or three grows with no problems. It's not so loose water just runs through it but it drains well and using smart pots I water pretty much every other day. Two gallons for seven plants.

Little update
worked on mom box a bit, got the scrubber installed


on another note! does anyone save pollen? I could use a nice strain to cross with

Took clones for possible mothers/fathers

hi ValleGrown, thanks for stopping by and we would love to have you here at the 600.

Ok, I am not in a tent, but I have plenty of work with 600's...also being European I am kind of just trying to work out your diameters as I type. Okay, if possible go for the bigger one, you will need it, the 600 seems to make you want to cram as much weed under it as possible.

Running a 4ft by 4ft cabinet myself, with 1 600 I would suggest for the tent size at least the equivalent of a ruck125 (5inch fan) I would also recommend to get a cool hood or cool tube, that will help you loads.

I am running 3 lights in my 4ft x 4 ft space, but have a bug fan puling air through them. With one 600, get one fan and vent it and temps will never be an issue.

Let us know if you have any more questions.

Peace, DST

Hey ValleGrown, I've got the Secret Jardin DR 80 w/ an air cooled 600 watter that goes filter>hood>exhaust. It's just under a true 3x3, and I love it. I had a 2x4 before (plastic lined so I scrapped it), and it was pretty good, to as far as dimensions go. With the 3x3 you get a little more space, so I'd go w/ that if you can. Good luck!

Oh, and here's a shot from today's 12/12 update. Check out my journal if you want to see more about my setup.

im likeing that.....

Picked up my new camera today, a Samsung PL200, cost $100 at CompUSA. This thing is awesome for the price, great pics and great 720p video, Im very surprised and happy with it, I will get a video up when I can, probabl tomorrow because I didn't figure out the macro setting for the video until after my light went off so you know how that goes. Here is some pictues, quality and color varies due to figuring out along the way, you can see in what pictures I had gotten it figured out. I love the custom white balance setting on this camera where you put a piece of white paper in front of the lense to adjust it, works great and damn near eliminates the yellow or orange from an HPS. Pics now, no more talking...

 

[ENDLSCYCLE]

^^^packed full!!!!^^^

Damn'it.....I took too long...LOL....sorry Gen


I fkt up.....those aren't G's.....those are Bobotranks......sorry bro!!!!!

 

[Outdoorindica]

Wow those pics took a beating on the downsizing, much worse than my last camera, its 14.2 megapixel so its a huge drop. Oh well you get the idea.

 

[whodatnation]

now its popin 6 yes indeed.

 

[whodatnation]

They look great ODI!

 

[Bobotrank]

im likeing that.....

Thanks guys! They're growing like motherfawkers

Outdoorindica, your garden is looking out of control! Damn, son! +rep

 

[Outdoorindica]

Thanks Whodat, the one you see handing there by the green garden tape, and the 3 colas behind it come down in about 2 weeks or so. Its Galaxy from Pyramid Seeds, I have tried a sample of her and she tastes great and the sample was decently potent for how early she was.

 

[bassman999]

Great looking girls there Outdoor! That camera is gonna get you some great pix esp after you figure it out.

I've noticed the conversion that's done on super large images uses a mid-range jpeg compression.
A cool & easy program for Windows users is "JPEG Resizer" located *here*

It's super easy to use and really quick.
It is an older program, and doesn't come with an installer, just a small executable that you can make a shortcut to after you've unzipped the download.
It gives a convenient way to control the size & quality before uploading pics or e-mailing them.
