Both girls are adjusting very well to their new home alot of new growth. Over the past couple of days I have noticed a pale color on both of them...you can see it in the pic. So, I watered today and added a 1/4 dose of BC Boost and BC Magi-Cal. Short and sweet...HMMM that just became their names..Short and Sweet

OK, as I said this is my first time growing in MG. As you read I added a little BC Boost and Magical today and about 1 qt of water too each. I knew the color would not 'green up' right away. But now the leaves are very droopy. I actually think I overwatered. There is not a whole lot of perlite or sphagnum in my soil and it is pretty dense. I thought I had a 3:1:1 mix. But I found out from my roomie that he was running short on the 2 additives when he mixed this batch of soil. They are in plastic pots that are labeled 3 gallon and look to be 3 gallon but it looks kinda tight. I was considering re-potting but my budget is extremely tight and all I have too add now is playground sand. This should help aerrate the soil not? Anyway wondering if the nutes especially the Magical could cause droop in this medium?

I still say MG is not a bad medium and I am sure they will be fine. BUT, I miss my Happy Frog...RIBBET!!!!! master_HDR380.jpg

or, over-fed. that's why I'm anti-MG. well......one of them. i'm anti-super phosphate, too. sand will make them drain faster, for sure, and allow you to go to bigger pots. that's what i would do, personally.

Agreed, checking with some other friends to confirm. Thanks.

Well, I definately won't be killing them. I am sure this will be a successful grow as soon as I can get a couple of things dialed in.

Good Day Doggies


So sorry that I have been unable these past few days to post. I have been really busy with something that I would like to share with you ...

For the past month, a friend of mine (25 years younger than I) had his niece abducted from their home in the middle of the night. At first LEO's were stating that it was a missing child, and for the past two weeks, changed it to, possible foul play. The little girl's name is Ayla, and from Maine. My friend and I are tight, as he always turned to me for guidance when things where going south for him. When I learned of this happening a month ago, I put my hand out, and he grabbed it. I did not want him to be alone on Christmas, so my family invited him over, just so that he could get away from it all, at least for a few hours. We have remained tight throughout, but they have had very little to say, or help out, especially with the media.

Behind the scenes, but with his knowledge, I have been working with NBC and the Today Show. I, as well as many others across this State, Country and even Canada, are doing what we can do bring Ayla home, safe and sound. We have never, nor will we, give up hope that she be safely returned home to her Mom and Dad, even though they are not together any longer (prior to this event). Tonight, at 11:30 PM, despite my usual bedtime of 9:00 pm, I was interviewed by NBC and the Today show, for an update that will air in the morning at 7:30 EST. It was something that I needed to do, for I need to keep Ayla's name in the forefront of all media.

All day long, I reached out to my friend, and he never returned a call nor any of my countless texts. They were in essence, that now was the prime opportunity of placing a cry for help. I take it as they are scared to talk to the media, for they feel that every time they do, it gets twisted around. I repeatedly told him, as well as Ayla's father, that this was not the case, and that if they were uncomfortable to answer a specific question, all they had to say was that they did not want to answer it. Simple enough. They have not been asking for any coverage nationally, but stay local and only with newsprint. (Circulation appx 20,000). Here I am, not even affiliated other than a friend, and I just did an interview that will be reached out to over 8 Million viewers. I know if I was in their shoes, I think I would have grabbed hold and gone with it, despite any fear about myself, but to have my child returned home, safe and sound.

I think I may have lost a friend, whose friendship I cherished and loved. But it is not about a friendship to me. It is about finding a Lost and Missing Child. Period.

I thank you so very much for allowing me the opportunity to share, and also vent my frustration on this matter that has plagued me for over a month. If you wish, you may post here, or PM me. I love all my friends here on Doggie Nuts, for I feel at home, and a part of Community and Friendship with all that enter this great thread.

God Bless ~ And Let's Get Ayla Home

Well, as I suspected the droopage was caused by watering. Short & Sweet are both looking very nice today. And I believe they are getting a bit darker as well. I normally do not take pics 2 days in a row...what's the point right? But, maybe because I am a proud and a bit over-zealous papa this time I did. LOL!
