    Put some dead ants in the tent today for the lizard in case he is hungry. Getting a water/yeast/sugar C02 set up going today. If any pests come the lizard will have them. Hopefully he didn't run off already!

    The 12-12 From Seed Thread

    Ok so I'm inspired by Del and this thread at large. Read the first 100 pages then got bored and decided to try it myself. Now over 1 month after first germination I'm basically still at the seedling stage. Must be doing something wrong but having fun trying to fix it. Growing in a tent with...

    12/12 from seed using CFL's. NLxBig Bud and many many others!

    just a quick note that the MB tests at around 6.4 ph and the NLxBB shows at about 6.1 which are both fine. not fine is the NLxBB which still shows up as being in 'hot' soil on my fertometer. Will have to flush it out again I guess unless things get better. The MB is showing green light and the...

    Watered the NLxBB and Moby Dick. Moby dick seems to like nutes while the NLxBB needs less. Did something in preparation for using Co2 which is going to sound a bit nutty. Put a lizard in my tent. They are all over where i live. They eat mosquitoes, moths, ants. Basically insects and pests in...

    Any gin drinkers here?

    Bombay Sapphire and Tanquaray are the Gins for me although I might only have a Gin and Tonic once a month or so these days. The Classic Martini with an Olive. Stirred not shaken of course. Maybe the odd Gibson Martini with a pickled onion instead. There is a reason the above are all classic...

    CO2 via Yeast The Right Way, With Calculations..

    I need to use Co2 in my 2x3x5 tent but if I go the sugar/yeast route it will attract pests. Is there an easy DIY way of having Co2 releasing into my tent another way? It is only a small grow (3 plants) so don't need an industrial solution.

    FCJ has emerged from the soil. NLxBB is not growing as intended. May have to flush it out again. MD is growing and developing slowly. May have to introduce Co2 into the equation. Not sure how to do it right now without attracting pests.

    Hey. Thanks for stopping by. Don't worry. I thought the same thing on my first grow too. My advice would be to stick to the basics. On my first grow I tried too much stuff when I should have been just letting the plants grow. Fertometer shows Moby dick as being ok and NLxBB as being over...

    Fruity Chronic Juice has a taproot and planted in a coco/soil combo mix today.

    12/12 from seed using CFL's. NLxBig Bud and many many others!

    Watered Moby Dick yesterday. My fertometer said it needed ferts so I added some 25/5/5 mixture to the water. Not too much I hope. The NLxBB is not doing well with stuff crawling in the soil so I binned the soil and repotted it into a different mix. The Fruity Chronic juice had still not germed...

    So I have germed another. Fruity chronic Juice. A freebie from attitude by delicious seeds. Have gone back to my tried and trusted method of germing. Damp paper towel in an empty plastic jar with lid loosely on and a little water at the bottom. Cover and put in a warm, dark place. Will see what...

    Oh dear my timer broke while I was away for a few days on holiday. Not sure how long plants were 24/0 lit but turned the timer off a couple of hours late and it is finished. Was a cheap piece of crap anyway. Will buy a decent one today. Lesson learnt. The Moby Dick Continues to flourish...

    12/12 from seed using CFL's. NLxBig Bud and many many others!

    The NLxBB continies to yellow and not grow much. Fertometer says Nutes are ok and the finger test indicates it does not need water. The temps and RH are within tolerance. All I can think of is that the PH could be off and the plant is nute locked. Will let it dry out then give it a good soaking...

    12/12 from seed using CFL's. NLxBig Bud and many many others!

    Watered today. Looks like I'll have to water more often than I expected with this mostly coco mix. My fertometer showed the Moby Dick as needing nutes so I put a very weak solution of 25/5/5 in as that purple stem indicates a lack of N as I recall. The NLxBig Bud is not doing much besides...

    It will be a month before I can post any pics. However not a lot to see at the moment. A couple of notes. The Moby Dick seedling has stretched too much and is almost laying down on the soil. I plan to either use a toothpick and dental floss to hold it up or re bury the rockwool deeper in the...

    Any chance some people could critique my plan please? 2nd Grow plan.... MEDIUM Soil mostly coco with chips lining the base, perlite mixed in with coir and chips and maybe 10% super peat. Soil looks pretty good. FERTS - Have a gadget called the 'fertometer' going to see how it works. Right...

    So this the plan in general.... Soil mostly coco with chips lining the base, perlite mixed in with coir and chips and maybe 10% super peat. Soil looks pretty good. Fertilizer - Have a gadget called the 'fertometer' going to see how it works. Right now it shows one plant as fine and the other...

    Got another seed to pop. 'Moby dick' Casing came off fine and seems pretty healthy. Still both at seedling stage at the moment. Took my Lemon Diesel out of the paper towel and into a shot glass full of water. Out of 5 feminized seeds I've tried so far 3 have germed only 2 successfully...
