    1st Grow 4 weeks flower

    Here are pics of my NL and Blue Mystic. My first attempt at this. Growing in FFOF with 33% perlite under a 150W HPS supplemented with a couple of 150W CFL's. I needed to keep it small so I started flowering at 3 weeks. Other than repot twice I haven't done a whole lot other than water and adjust...

    1st grow, 3 weeks flower

    I'm growing 3 girls. 2 Blue Mystic and a NL. This is a photo of what has turned into the healthiest plant. The other 2 seem to be okay, just showing some signs of what I believe is nute burn. I'm growing in FFOF under a small 150 HPS that I've supplemented with a couple of 150w CFL's. The NL...

    25 years

    I left the whole weed culture about 25 ears or so ago. Random drug testing entered my life and it just seemed a wise decision as I didn't care to give up my career. That was when I was in my mid 30's. I did manage to aqiuire some at one point. It wasn't very potent and I had to be careful about...

    Hanna phep

    I didn't know where to post this and since I'm a first time grower I'm posting it here. Does anyone else have any experience with Hanna Instruments PHEP? It's the orange ph tester that runs about $50.00. The first one I bought quit after about a week. The guy at the hydro store exchanged it for...

    1st time grower problem

    I was confused about your question, "what are you using for ph adjustment"? I was using a ph down solution that I purchased at a hydro store. And I didn't need but a drop or two, if that. I fill a 5 gal. bucket and let it sit outside for a couple of days. The ph seems about right without doing...

    1st time grower problem

    I haven't used anything. Should I? The product claimed to be ph adjusted to, as I recall, a number suitable for weed. I have read that it's potent soil but I've also read numerous posts here and on other forums of folks having success with it. I mixed it with about 33% perlite so it's pretty...

    1st time grower problem

    Northern Lights started in solo cups and repotted twice to larger pots. Using Fox Farms Ocean Forest. Indoors under 150w HPS. I don't have space nor the need for some huge plant so I vegged for 3 1/2 weeks under 18/6 and have been flowering for 2 weeks 12/12. I also have a Blue Mystic. I have...

    are jiffy pallets bad to grow seeds?

    I did try to germinate a previous batch of seeds following the instructions on the Jiffy Pot container. Not a good move. I only resorted to the above as I didn't think the seed was going to germinate, I had to leave it for a couple of days and I thought, WTf, either it works or it doesn't.

    are jiffy pallets bad to grow seeds?

    I'm new to this but this is my recent experience with Jiffy Pots. I germinated 4 seeds, 2 NL's and 2 Blue Mystics, by paper towel method. 3 germinated after 2 days one did not, a Blue Mystic. As I had to leave for a couple of days I planted the 3 germinated seeds into my soil mix and put the...

    PH out

    Actually I did try earlier in the year but my grow space was too cold. Here's a photo (I hope) of one of the plants after 3 1/2 weeks in the soil. I started in Solo cups and transplanted after 2 weeks into these paint buckets that I cut some drainage holes in. I mixed the FFOF with 33% perlite...

    PH out

    I have managed to figure one thing out and that's not to screw around with them to much. I watered them last Friday the 5th raised the lights a bit and had to leave them till today. When I checked in on them they were doing just fine although the soil was getting dry.

    PH out

    I suppose because I was concerned about what might be in our town water and I don't have a filter. Being my first grow I didn't want to screw them up with something. I recall reading suggestions to use RO water. Do you think tap is okay? I realize all our other plants do fine with it. Thank you...

    PH out

    This is my first post and I'm on my first grow. I have 2 Northern Lights and 2 blue Mystic's from Nirvana 3 1/2 weeks vegging and doing very well. I have them in Fox Farms Ocean Forest. I'm growing them under 150w CFL's in a well ventilated crawl space. I'm watering with store bought water which...
