Very carefully deconstructed it, wound up all the wire, stored the various pieces, and who knows... maybe someday when I have the space, I'll create a monster veg room outta all 34 of them twisty jewels.

Hi granny bluejeans! I just read your whole journal (for 2 hours) and still have to catch up on the Nuts!
Your grow is really looking god. I did my first 4 grows in my bathtub with good success.

There is a lot of good info on here but if your a soil grower and relatively new, it's a lot easier if you keep it simple.

well water from a community well is usally pretty good without any types of clorine. My well has a ph of 7 exactly.

It's too bad about your seedlings dying, from your description,it sounds like the soil might be too hot for thos seedlings.

I'm a simple guy and don't like to complicate things too much.
For soil I use straight FF Ocean Forrest out of the bag..Or 1ea of 2.5cuft bag of fox Farm Ocean Forrest, Miracle grow organic and a bag about 2 gal of perlite. That's it! For nute I just use the FF trio.

That's the beauty of pot gardening is you can keep it simple and easy or asin depth and complicated as you want to make it. And still end up with some great smoke

First off, NEW STUFF!!! My 600w HPS/MH light arrived with XL wing reflector and cool tube. As you can see, I had my crew carefully inspect the packaging for damages. Everything appeared to be in order. All the CFL's came down and are packed away for some future use. All together, I had amassed 34 bulbs and fixtures of various sizes and colors.



​
And, for anybody still reading at this point, I had a geniune scare tonight. My son's ex-wife decided it was time to shift over into full-blown bitch mode. So after she dropped his daughter off tonight, she called the police and said that my house smelled like weed and she was concerned for the welfare of her daughter. Bitch.

So they came knocking at my door this evening. However, I showed them my doctor's note, explained that my ex DIL was a bitch and that she knew full well that I had a legal recommendation. I told the LEO that I had had to call DHHS on her shiftless ass about a month ago and that this was her retaliation. He was very young (and I'm not) and seemed relieved to find just an old grandma, grandpa, daddy, pregnant girlfriend, toddler, and weird middle-aged single uncle having spaghetti dinner in front of the tube and not some drug-crazed maniacal idiots intent on mischief.

He thanked me for my cooperation and left without ever coming in the house.

Glad to see you got your HPS setup and running. All of your buds are going to be so dense and swollen now. I wish I could get your boxed up CFL setup lol. I am just starting to buy bulbs, ugh. And I know down the road I am going to do the same thing and upgrade to the MH/HPS, but I figure I can always use the CFLs on other projects/stealth-micro grows and cloning, etc.

About the Beeeaahhch, that is why I am in the middle of putting up fencing around property and will be getting nice big doggie. Exactly for that reason, no one will come near my house without an invite/or will have to deal with Rambo biting on their ankle. Sorry you had to deal with that, but at least you have your doctor's note. Us in non-med states have to almost wall off our homes to friends and family and be ultra-stealthy because of growing flowers, zomg. It makes my blood boil just thinking about it.

Good luck with that HPS, cannot wait for a harvest report from those dense nugs :bigjoint:

Evening everybody!!! Sorry I've been out of touch for a couple of days. I turned on my computer one evening, answered a PM from a friend, turned my back on the computer to look at something Mr wanted to show me on TV and when I turned back...blue screen. Took me two days to get it fixed. Grrrr.

Okay, back to Grandma's Grow Room!!!

Once I got everything put right, I put the girls into their new tanning salon.

Here are some shots of the girls in their new light.

These are the Vanilla Kush clones. They are still small, but filling out to be VERY bushy.
And the larger of the Strawberry Kiss clones. The smaller one is looking very sad. She was fine until we moved everything around so Mr and I have decided that either one of us damaged her, or the cats did something because there is no visible reason why she suddenly got so sad. She is from the same plant and in the same soil as the tall healthy one.

Finally, I've decided that my soil mix is not good for seedlings. First the OG Kush shrivelled up and died. The next day, the Pineapple Chunk did the same. I usually let them stay in the rockwool a little longer than I did with these because I was over anxious, I guess. For whatever reason, they are listed among the casualties.

On a brighter note, at the time I got the light, I also got a small set of bubble bags. I didn't have a lot of trim and going forward, I will let it build up more before I have another go at it, but I just had to try it out, and my results were nice!

Awesome blue I am so happy you got your light. Now your going to be able to do some real growing. Watch how much more you harvest weight wise. Your gonna love it.

Yeah, I've discovered that no matter what I've done, if I started with a pot plant, I ended up with smokeable weed. I do think the soil was too hot for the seeds and not because of the mix, but because of the soil I reused. I didn't adjust the mix any for the fact that the reused soil may have still had some residual nutes left over. But lesson learned. The next seeds or clones I start will go in coco with the proper measurement of nutes. That's the way this recipe was designed and so I'm gonna try it that way.

Also, I discovered quite by accident that Poland Spring water is 6.5 pH and 37ppm right out of the bottle. That stuff is EVERYWHERE here. That's about as close to "pure" as I'm gonna get without having to alter it in any way. I may spring for some until I can afford an R/O filter of my own.

Bluejeans. I'm pop seeds all the time in this recipe. They love it. I'm fairly certain it was something else

Oh, I agree. It was either my mismeasurement or it was the soil i started with that was already too hot. I've got my coco now and I'm gonna do it right. Lesson learned. :lol:

That was a roller-coaster of a post! Happy to hear you got the "big" guns now, but also sorry to hear of the loss of your babies. You said before the DIL was a bitch, but it takes some special talent to be as big of a bitch as she sounds. Yes, karma is a good thing :-)

The girls look great Blue, hang in there...depends cost too much, buy more seeds!!

I am so enthralled with my shiny new light. That cool tube is an amazing piece of engineering! I have my HPS only slightly higher than my CFL's were but I'm getting SO much more penetration. My light meter says there is max light all the way to the tub floor.

And OMG... that Vanilla Kush is finally trying to amount to something after all!!! All she wanted was some overpowering light. Suddenly, her buds went from looking like cigarette lighter size to fist size!
