Shiiiiit, maaaaan. That honky muf' be messin' mah old lady... got to be runnin' cold upside down his head, you know?

What? lol I'd say it wouldn't be a good mix.

Alright, no need to get sarcastic, mate. Have you replaced that pH meter yet, or have you simply been formulating that bitter response this whole time? 1) No. 2) Not necessarily 3) I don't think you need epsom salts all that much if you're using scheme water. Depends on your source. Calcium...

Riiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiight..... What was the point of all that then? Why post a thread?

Well, I've got the coco ready to go, so I might as well use it. I was thinking of starting with some fish emulsion and plain water (adjusted to pH of 5.8) and then using the CANNA VEGA A and B nutes ($33 a bottle from Bunnings) later on when their roots have proliferated into the new coco...

I wasn't going to presoak, but I suppose I could. Not sure exactly what the advantage of that would be. I've just broken up the bricks with tap water. I was going to mix my nutes up in my 75L res, which should last 2 and a half days draining to waste. So I can tweek the nute concentration quite...

Yeah, I was fucking ropable! But we'll be fine. I should get something by the end of it all. I'm gonna do an inventory of all my kit today. Tomorrow I'll be bringing home the 600w HPS and a cooltube. I'm so shit at building stuff that I'm a little concerned I might suck at errecting the...

Thanks Greenjumble. The girls are out in the sun today (cool 25C today), so they'll be getting plenty of light. I'll move them in this evening and put them under the CFL (1 cool, 1 warm). I don't think at this early stage when they're so small they'd need more than that. Hopefully I'll have...

UPDATE: So I got home from the vineyard and my suspicions as to the reliability of my housemates was justified. The coco jiffy starters were almost dried out....:-( That said we have cotyledons AND true leaves on 2 of the 3 Skunk seeds that germinated. The one that hasn't DID have one at...

Yeah, that would be disappointing. Thing is, I aint done this before, so I'm happy for whatever I can get. When I've got a few successful grows under my belt and cloning material in abundance then I'll be able to afford to be fussy. Right now I'm not about to look a gift horse in the mouth. :-)

You're right Tricka! I'm checking them every hour whenever I'm home. The thing is I'm down south on the farm this weekend and I've left my housemate to make sure the peat cubes stay moist. Just before I left I saw that 2 of the three were showing! It looked like the tap root had headed...

Hey, yeah, I've got a cool (blue spectrum) 24w CFL from Bunning's on it now. It's amazing how anal I am about these puppies. If I'd planted chilli or tomatoes I wouldn't give a fuck. Unfortunately, I'm scared I'm going to kill these babies with too much love, lol.

Forgive me for suggesting you might be a little naive, or deliberately being semantic on this issue. I mean, come on! No child was actually "witnessed"? Oh that's right, of course, after the grower takes a dump in his living room and pisses in the corner he then drops some meth and regresses...

Hmm, it's weird, 'cause the peat moss (quite acidic) in your grow medium should help to buffer it from crazy alkalinity spikes, and the magnesium in the epsom salts should be able to stop calcium carbonate (lime) forming and increasing alkalinity. No idea why it's rising. Usually the nitrogen in...

Yeah, to a point. If you're going to raise the temp, then you have to raise the humidity too. Stomata don't just close when it's excessively hot, but also when the relative humidity is low. The combination of high heat and low RH will make your plant shut up shop. You also have to make sure...

Hey Jas, thanks for the reply. Nah, I haven't grown pot indoors or outside before, so it's all super new to me. That said, I'm an ag science grad, so I'm hoping I can pick it up quick. :-) My main concern at the moment is the size of pots I plant my girls into. I have 3x 15L buckets that I...

UPDATE: So how about that 3rd seed popped too! I was having an OCD moment this afternoon and thought I'd check the seeds for the 10th time or something today, and lo and behold I noticed a little white nub coming out the side. A noob nub, if you allow me the poor attempt at internet...

Thanks for the support man. I'm just really keen to be finally having a red-hot crack at this! And thanks for the suggestion re. ordering seeds; I might hit them up for next grow. I spoke to seedmadness yesterday and they're gonna resend my Afghan Kush seeds with a T-shirt in the hope that...

Lols Yeh, it would indeed have been awkward if my housemate had suggested that. I imagine tampons would wick-away the water to much anyway. Until they reach their maximum absorption point anyway. Don't think I have enough room for that.... ;-)

So, thus far that's 2 out of three that have popped in less than 48 hours, which I'm tip-top happy about. Will give the other one tonight to pop, and if it doesn't I'll grab the 2 that have and pop in some peat starter pods and get that root zone cranking. Beer o'clock? Indeedy-doody! :-)
