Also I forgot to add... In speaking of "depending on the size of the space". If you are in a smaller space (like myself). The 23w will also give off less heat. Granted they don't give off that much heat to begin with (compared to MH or HPS lamps) but as I doubled my number of 23watt lights my...

You can stick with the 23w CFL's if you can't afford the 42watt bulbs. The 42 watt bulbs give you about 1000 or so lumens more. Honestly, it depends on the size of your space. Most important thing to remember is LUMENS are more important than WATTAGE. 23w = 1600 (or 1750) Lumens. I say OR 1750...

Hey Loto... Right at the moment I don't have the space to grow like that or use a lamp of that high output... I'm using CFL's. I'm down to 3 plants now. Unfortunately the gnat infestation took 2 of my young O.C.'s. Just yesterday I replanted my last 3 in 5 gallon paint buckets, flushed...

What kind of soil are you using? Some soils come with time release ferts that feed them for 3 months... You maybe overfertilizing?? I recently found that out myself...

We did our second application of Spray and Grow. We are doing it every Saturday... I'm going to wait until tomorrow to put up before and after pics so everyone can see the results. The plants really soak up this stuff it's amazing. By the time I'm spraying the 3rd plant the first one is dry...

These are the last two Orange Crush. The whiteflies stunted their growth a bit. I'm hoping I get rid of the gnats within a week and they will recover... The Stem... This is the runt lol

Here's the pics of our Orange Crush... The first one is our best so far. She is 3 inches tall and 7.5 inches across! Her stem is THICK. Check it out.

Well once again I bought a gallon of Distilled water from Wal Mart and it tests just around 5.0. I don't think my tester is wrong... I test rain water and it's around 7.0. The tap water is just under 7.0. I've even tested the bottled water we drink and that's around neutral. I don't know if...

I wasn't aware of all that Cee... I didn't know that they made stuff specifically for Marijuana plants... Guess I still need to do some research. Guess that's what makes me a "newbie". I appreciate all your input. I'm going to stick with the MG Organic then. Don't want to transplant if I don't...

Thanks Cee... I wasn't aware that MG Organic has tons of nutes... The N-P-K on the back lists it as 0.20% (as an example, I can't remember the exact percentages off hand.) however it doesn't say it like 2.0 instead it says 0.20. I assumed this meant that the N-P-K was in tenths of percentages in...

Cool. Saved the link to that tester for future purchase. I just took some pics of the plants. Going to put them on here within the next few mins.

My plants are in veg right now. About a month old. It's one Sativa/Indica mix and 4 Orange Crush. I was aware about the cutting out the Nitrogen in Flowering stage and up the Phosphorous. Thanks for that. I want 2 Try Bat Guano later... This stuff is 9-12-12. Should I wait a week and use it when...

Great links. Thanks. I'm going to get some Distilled Water from another store, test it and see... Also going to get a PH meter. I'll get some pics up soon for sure.

Hey Guys, I have a question about fertilizer... My soil is Miracle Grow Organic. At this point I know it's lacking some SERIOUS N-P-K. So, we bought this fertilizer. It's made by Pennington and called "Tomato & Vegetable Plant Food". It's a 9-12-12 fert. I've read in lots of places that...

OH! I also forgot! Ladybugs are the BEST way to naturally control the gnats. I'm going to see if I can get like 5 of em and put them in the room with them. Ladybugs rock and will not harm your plants whatsoever! They eat ALL plant pests...

I'm pretty sure I got them from the Organic MG and overwatering. Organic decomposition is a big cause of Whiteflies and Fungus Gnats. I checked them about an hour ago and there was ONE fly in there and I killed it. Running out now to get the sand. You should try the 80% Distilled water with 20%...

I'm absolutely certain that my soil and water ph have been the cause of my problems. Minor or Major, whatever they may be, they are doing well. It really is a hardy plant! Thank god for that.

Thanks for the link Tetra. I read it and I'm not sure what's going on with my PH. I'm going to try and buy it at another store and test. The PH kit is a General Hydroponic Manual test kit. I've been doing it properly, at least I'm pretty positive I am. I fill the vial halfway with the...

I'm not sure why it's so low either. I get it from Wal-Mart. It's their generic "Great Value" brand. I'll try buying it from another place and see if there's a difference. Thanks for your input!

Hey Loto, Thanks for the info on Orange Crush! We can't find much on it. Just that it's a medical hybrid. I'm going to the 18/6 in a week. Your Veg/Flower schedule sounds great. My guesses were around that time. I envy your light set up lol I had to use CFL's because of where we are at...
