Dude, looking awesome man. How many grows do you have under your belt? And critical kush, is that a cross between critical mass and a kush? Critical mass is supposed to have, well, the critical mass of buds that the plant can hold, so they are supposed to be bigger. But yours look fine, if...

OK, for all the newbs out there, I have a tip that will drastically increase your knowledge about growing, and will cut down the amount of threads you start/hijack tenfold, if not more. Read the stickies. Every single one of them. There is almost as much general information in the...

Posted this in my journal yesterday, but here's a little experiment I set up while I was asking myself the same question. These four plants were given a full strength concentration of nutes. Notice how the secpnd set of leaves are already working on their next node, and already have all 3...

Yeah, just think of fan leaves as the solar panels. If you want your plant to use the light better, will taking the solar panels off help that? But, it can still sometimes help. I had a buddy with a 20 plant grow (island sweet skunk and purple hash plant). He has loooots of expensive...

Whoops, double post.

So here are some pics from one of my experiments that I was talking about. Here's a picture of The four that have been given nutrients (just one feeding of Buddha grow formula). Notice how the second set of leaves already have all 3 fingers. There's also more of a gap between the cotyledons...

Oh, by the way-- I have 25 new seeds that I started germinating yesterday from a friend who's been growing for years. He said they were some of his best strains, I guess we'll get to test them out. Out of the 25, about 15 have already germinated but half of those were barely cracked so I'm...

Been a minute since I I journaled, so a few quick updates Larry was up and down with being under watered/ over watered. I've gotten him on a more consistent watering schedule instead of just looking for signs before watering. His growth has been slow and steady, but he looks like a healthy...

Cold temps, I'm assuming?

Hmmm.. Looks cool, lol. I have seen plenty of red/purple stems and parts of leaves and whatnot, but that is just a little too pink, and on a plant that's a little too young, it seems to me. These plants can have funky colors, sometimes it means there's a problem but often not. You should...

Jeeez, that's ridiculous!! What are these guys thinking ?! I mean even if you're sending to an area where its legal to grow, a lot of this equipment is expensive and they should at least wrap it in brown paper to avoid theft. Prices online can definitely be awesome, but be careful which...

Reverse osmosis, derrr. Dunno why I didn't think of that. I was just looking at systems online the other day. And MYOB-- just because I'm a hillbilly, that doesn't mean im like 90% of the people who jump on here without doing any research. If you had seen any of my pictures, then you...

And by the way, what does RO water stand for? Regular 'ol water? :grin: Sometimes I have to remind people that I'm a redneck biochem student.

Yeah, I have to admit I've totally been slacking off on my research lately. Between work and school I've barely had time to tend to them, which has helped me as an excited newb from doing anything too detrimental. I learned a lot in a short period of time, but now I'm starting to feel lost...

Cool, yeah I added the perlite to help drainage and so I can flush effectively when necessary. However, my soil mix holds water like crazy; I might have to add a little sand in with the perlite the next time I use this hummus. Its nice and rich, but apparently not too hot to start them out on...

Yeah, ol' Larry's had a bit of a tough life. Suffered from heat stress before I got my temps under control and was over watered as a seedling. He's almost 3 weeks old and definitely not as big as I'd like him to be, but I'm doing my best to keep him healthy. He's my "learning" plant, so I can...

Thanks a bunch guys!! I guess I had just gotten so used to avoiding over watering that I, naturally, wound up letting her get too thirsty. Woke up this morning and walked into my grow room, and I as soon as I got in front of the closet my plants said "UH-TEN, HUT!"

Ahhhh, OK thanks man. I'm using this hummus stuff mixed with perlite right now, but my first plant has a mix of like 60% miracle gro soil (thats sifted with a window screen to get the food balls and mulch out) and then the rest in hummus. I hadn't bought the perlite yet, so it doesn't have it...

Honestly, I haven't really been measuring the amount of water I give them. I have about 13 plants, most of them seedlings and so I fill up a 32 ounce bottle and water those, which are in different stages/sizes and different pots. But I have 2 plants in the 45 ounce butter dish, I probably...

Okay, so I am bad about over watering. I've been getting better, but last night my big plant was wilted and saggy from over watering. I let him dry out, and today he was perked up like a hard on. But then right before my lights went off, I noticed he was saggy again. I haven't watered...
