    Rate my soil recipe

    I'm working on a new, organic-ish soil recipe - first it will be used in my container vegetable garden, then if it works well, I'll use it for future cannabis grows. Right now, it's 3x bag local topsoil (1 cubic foot each) 1x bag organic composted humus and manure (1 cubic foot) 1x solo cup...

    Supplemental/Side lighting?

    I have a bunch of these growlights (in 2' and 4' sizes) that I use for starting seedlings for my vegetable and flower garden. I know they're not sufficient alone, but I was wondering if mounting them to the sides of a 4x4 tent as supplemental lighting would be worthwhile. I've used them a bit...

    My First Grow - Sunset Sherbet

    Minor updates: She's looking quite nice in the undercarriage, and is filling out well after the last defoliation. She needs water every other day now, and honestly every 18 hours would probably make her quite happy. Watering recipe 4l filtered tap water 1 ml Silica Blast 4 ml Grow Big 10 ml...

    My First Grow - Sunset Sherbet

    Forgot to add that I changed up the water recipe today. If she's going to veg longer, then I won't start cutting out N. I tried 2ml of the FF Grow Big (6-4-4) and cut back the Fish and Kelp Emulsion to 10 ml. I also decided to try 1 ml of Silica, and the usual 5ml of 50% sulphured molasses...

    My First Grow - Sunset Sherbet

    What a difference four days makes! She's due for a watering here, which is why she looks a bit droopy, but you can see how much she's really filled in since I defoliated. Freshly defoliated: 4 days later: I was originally going to flip her to flower yesterday, but I have an upcoming...

    How to time flowering around vacation

    I'm going away for 8 days in 10 weeks. I have a Sunset Sherbet that's just passed 6 weeks veg, and I was going to flip it this weekend. However, I'm realizing that if I go for it right now, there's a chance that the plant will be finishing up while I'm away. I have someone to water and monitor...

    Perlite in soil

    I used a 4:1 ratio for FFOF to Perlite, and so far everything is fantastic.

    NO HOARDING GAS!

    Reminds me of the week after Superstorm Sandy here on LI. It took a fucking miserable week for them to institute even/odd days for gas and once they did - POOF! it quelled the panic, and no more lines.

    NO HOARDING GAS!

    Don't worry, it's cool if you double bag it.

    My First Grow - Sunset Sherbet

    Long time lurker, first time grower. I'm an avid gardener, and I've been researching growing cannabis for years, so I was ready to go. You should see what I did to my apple trees. I've been a little obsessed with espalier and other types of plant sculpting forever, so I when I came across...

    GS Plant Foods Fish and Kelp Blend

    I have a ton of this stuff (listed as 2-3-1)on hand for my regular garden, and I started using it on my plant. I have the FF trio, but after reading about the residual salts I'm not sure I want to use them, especially if I plan on recycling the soil. Right now I'm giving about 10ml (2 tsp) per...

    My First Grow - Sunset Sherbet

    No, not really. This plant is kept far away from my other plants, though, and I try to be extra diligent about cross contamination.

    My First Grow - Sunset Sherbet

    Moved her into the new flowering tent - 4x4 with 2x SF-2000s. This will be her final home. Defoliated today with the anticipation of flipping to flower on Saturday May 15, 6 full weeks of veg. Before defoliation: And after:

    My First Grow - Sunset Sherbet

    May 9th, 5w1d veg. Started adding 2.5ml molasses and 10 ml fish and kelp emulsion to each watering (Roughly 3 liters per watering). Also mixed 10g of dolomite lime into the top soil after getting a low ph (5.8 in the runoff and doing some more reading into FFOF.

    My First Grow - Sunset Sherbet

    May 1st, 4 weeks veg, 11 days after starting the manifold, and I did the final topping. This is the final form, so to speak, she just has to grow into it. e

    My First Grow - Sunset Sherbet

    Thanks! I topped at the 3rd node. I am thrilled with how well she took the abuse I threw at her. I used floral wire and binder clips for training.

    My First Grow - Sunset Sherbet

    Here she is at 3 weeks veg, growing into the manifold. It felt very slow when watching on a daily basis, but going back through now it's amazing to see how fast she actually grew. This is 5 days after I started the pruning for the manifold.

    My First Grow - Sunset Sherbet

    When I up-potted her to the 3 gallon, I switched to Fox Farms Ocean Forest. It resulted in a bit of nitrogen toxicity, with dark green leaves and some mild clawing on the leaf tips, but nothing terrible. Nine days after starting the manifold pruning, I transplanted her to her final home, a 5...
