S4C, you got me to try a 12/12 grow from seed on my first grow, and so far it is going great, although she's not looking as healthy as I would like and could use some advice.

Thanks for your journal, and if I grow again, I will definitely use this method. I don't have a lot of room to grow, and this seems very efficient in terms of space, light and soil requirements. I recommend it even to people who have a lot of space. Definitely check out the links that S4C posted in the first few pages here.

I have looked through most of your journals and seen quite a bit of your post throughout the forum. You seen to know what your talking about so I was wanting to ask you or anyone else that wants to answer a question.. I want to start a grow but was wondering about this HyGloss Mylar Roll that is advertised for wrapping paper. It comes in silver and is .002mm thick. Was wondering whether or not it would work okay. Could save some money for some people if its okay.

lol what if you used blue mylar christmas paper for veg and red for flower man.

LoL JK i will stick to my ultra shinny real deal mylar- i just got it- and saw the cheaper nock offs and whatnot- its that quality look that i ultimately desire- so i shell out...

But that would prly work very well and be easy to replace and patch when it does wear out early.

i would think www.discount-hydro.com ...

Mylar

Mylar is a metalized plastic sheeting. It will reflect about 98% of the light that hits it. You should put it on the walls around your plants to reflect wasted light back to the plants. It comes in three different roll lengths and two different thickness', 1 mil and 2 mil. From $17.95

I dont know the normal prices...

AND if Iremember right the other crap was .002 mil , this is 2 mil

no but i heard that Carbonated water C02 water from even a soda machine can be used in a foliar spray to increase co2 to the plants...

Kind of a hijack tho...
my apologizes for even answering lol...

I never worried about Co2.

some guy in another thread was saying that he used a co2 meter to measure the amount of co2 indoors vs. the amount of co2 outdoor and he found that the co2 levels indoors were greater than they were outdoors.

since then I threw out all of my sugar-water-yeast bottles, the vinegar and baking soda, but I still use the seltzer water when I spray.

IMO co2 isnt as large of an issue as controlling the temps and having proper ventilation.

Hows it smoke? I don't think you mentioned that, maybe I missed it?
yeah does it taste good i bet it does by looking at the buds haha yummy

ya they were yummy! lol

I fed her molasses 3 days prior to the chop and U could really tell! the flavor was sweet, and the buds were semi-sticky!
the hairs never turned brown, instead they were orange which made the crystals really stand out!

the high is good, it comes in two waves-
the first is a mellow, social buzz, or great for listening to music :-)
the second wave paralyzes U into euphoria, soaring for another 3 hrs until U are in a coma, lying in bed!

no hallucinations or anything but its great for reading, studying, meditating and relaxing after a long day.

only thing was that I let her dry out too long. she lost over 75% of her weight by the time I began to cure and finished ad .9 oz's but she smoked very well, (quality over quantity) it only took 3 bowls to do me right (approx. 2g's).

...I couldnt find anyone brave enough to try it with me so Im probably gonna smoke this harvest up all by myself.
