So just got back to the hydro store, i've realized I go there more than I go to the grocery store... o.o
anywho, got all my nutes and a PH meter, calibrating liquid, PH Up and PH Down...no PPM meter but I think i'll be alright?
Day 16 for the desert dream!!! shes bulkin up.
Day 11 for the clones, I expect them to double in size in the next four days, i'm predicting lol.
Where would you place my plants on the nute chart alotaball? Growth or aggressive growth? and i just use half the amount they are telling me to use per gallon then add another gallon to the mix correct? and what do I want my PH to be around when I feed? and runoff? :]

I never tried aggressive feeds .. just stuck with the normal.. might step it up a little this go around.. but I would rather have a little less yield then burn the girls .. they never showed deficiencies ... I would start at 1/4 strength and feed once a week .. see how they react.. if you see any burns .. flush em.

Growth or aggressive growth as in on the chart it has different increments depending on the stage of your plant. and i just use half the amount they are telling me to use per gallon then add another gallon to the mix correct? and what do I want my PH to be around when I feed 6.5? , and runoff?

http://forum.grasscity.com/absolute-beginners/218218-updated-beginners-guide-ph-marijuana.html <-----This is a good thread on pH. I know we were talking about it earlier so you have your answer (Hydro=5.2-5.8 & Soil 6.2-6.
. Thought I would post it for anyone else following. Can't wait to see the girls when they are a little older!

Slap that T5 straight down as far as you can. The T5's I am familiar with won't burn your babies. Definitely make sure you get a couple of oscillating or desk fans (those ones with the little clips for cubicles, you can find them @Target or Home Depot/Lowes). If you don't already have one find a temp that you can set with the girls and have a little auxiliary read out to put on the coffee table or something. They have a bunch that will give you humidity and everything. You need to monitor the environment as close as possible. Get your hands on either Ed Rosenthal's Medical Marijuana Handbook or Jorge Cervantes' Medical Marijauna Grower's Bible. Besides all of us on the forums it is really well worth the investment to have a referrence library handy at all times. They are filled with pictures of pests, diseases and how to counteract the problems.
