Wish I was your fellow patient
I'm glad I had someone to pass them along to versus just killing. My 8 UV bulbs just arrived. Worst packing job I have ever seen so lets hope they all work. I'll throw half of them in the tent tomorrow and the other half in several weeks. Now I just need to decide if I'm flowering under 600w or 1000.
I got my 2 superstars the same way, a generous individual such as yourself! Pay it forward! Good Karma always comes back to you, bravo Tanker for spreading the love!
With that many girls, you have your hands full anyway, can't wait to see the buds start poppin!
Thanks for the compliments on my 1st grow

Looking very nice!! You will enjoy the Chocolope. I just harvested a little one and about to haverset 2 5' plants. It is a very great flavor followed by a nice buzz. Here is a pick of my little chocco before I killed it. Loved everything about this strain.
Keep up the awsome job you are going to love the outcome.

I'm having a hard time waiting as well. You're grow is going well. Props again.
Thanks. I try
Nice and frosty! I've smoked it before and really enjoyed it. Taste is off the charts and so is the buzz if I remember correctly. Lets pray I don't fuck up the cure.

Curious myself. In the past I've used singe UV bulbs and noticed a difference in resin content so it will be interesting to see what it does for these. I'm really tempted at the moment to purchase a gas chromatography device so that I can test all my bud's THC, CBD, CBN, CBG, heavy metals... Think about the fun I could have - test at different harvest times, with and without UV, indoor vs outdoor... Not to mention charging the local dispensary to test their stash.
That they are. I planted a single tomato plant in each pot - thought it would encourage the weeds to grow even faster. I guess it worked as I haven't seen any tomatoes.

hmmm so u think it helped? how could the root system of the tomato plant have anything to do with the roots of the weed?

Hehe, I'm just joking. I bet it would work though - and if not talk about a huge tomato plant.

Nasty yellow light:
Still haven't purchased a new bulb for either of my ballasts so I decided to go ahead and throw my old 1kW Hortilux in there and see if my 600w Lumatek would run it. Seems to be working fine on super lumen setting. In a few weeks I'll change ballasts and let the 1kW run for a while.
You can't see it in the picture but the 3 different spectrum are super trippy.

It is easier than you would think. If you ever want to give it a go let me know and I'll do my best to help.
So I'm thinking that I want back drops for my tent. I want to be able to sneak in there and travel to another place - perhaps a tropical rain forest.

It's all about maintaining the ideal ratio of N
:K while accounting for time released nutes and immediately available nutes.Here is a chart of roughly my nute schedule:
I aim for a high N with some P to start with, then have the P gradually over take the N around second week of flower, and finally ramp up the K at the end.
On my chart the names of the nutes are just labels - so the second bat guano watering would be in week 3, not week 2, and disburse 5-1-1, the 10-3-1 is there just to remind you of the actual rating on the box.
