Forgot my favorite Day 59 pic:

Day 59: buds budding, also started putting the survivors of the first two clone experiments outside and first time shot of the third round of clones And this catches up on the project to today's date, huzzah!

Ok cool beans bro... i kind of gave up on the nutes for now? every time i add something to the water, one or more of the plants gives me a thumbs down and gets wilty burnt or hooks, sometimes all three. dunno, maybe all of the plants are weird anexorics

Day 56: another day of celebrating lots of small buds popping up everywhere. I put just a taste of the Big Bloom stuff in the water. Bought a better water meter, also has a ph meter built it. Soil readings are around 6.5 to 6.8. My water comes in right around 7.0 most weeks (I only test it...

Hey, thanks for this! By the numbers: Temp: I started using CO^2 augmentation by mixing breadmakers' yeast with a heaping tablespoon of brown sugar, a heaping tablespoon of wheat flour, and about 2 cups of warm water, then hanging two of these in plastic bags with vent holes at the top. Kicked...

Will look into the domes, thanks for the tip I did start with the lights a bit farther away, but that got me lots of stretch it seems--maybe just this strain?--so I brought the lights closer... then later on it looked like the plants started scorching a bit, so I backed them off until the...

March 21, Day 53: Everyone gets bushier, the remaining clones are holding steady (although not really thriving--except that last Burpee fiasco clone, who's having a party over there with the peppers--what a freaky sister, I love it! party on, little clone) I think that first pic looks a...

For veg it was usually 14 to 16 inches, and for flower I moved it to about 20 inches--I think when flower first started, I bumped the wattage from the 130 setting to the 190 watt setting. Which basically just turned 2/3rds of the lights being lit to 100% of the lights being lit. I also noticed...

Cloning attempts: 1) Topped the biggest three plants, put the clones in cardboard paper pots. Used the 75%FFOF/25%perlite mix. Had to cover with a wet paper towel, otherwise they would wilt within 2-3 hours of being uncovered. Two of the three have survived, one croaked. All three had mold on...

Skipping to Day 48: everyone is bushy, down to two of the cardboard pot clones and just one remaining Burpee seed tray clones. I planted green pepper seeds in the remaining unused seed tray pods, don't want it to go to waste and fresh veggies yum Skipping to Day 51, March 19: somewhere...

Day 41, March 9: as you can see, I had to chuck some of the clones--they died and the soil was a little moldy. I'm also seeing some downward curling on the big plants, uh oh... pointy hook tips too. Day 42: Down some more clones, one is doing ok though. Big plants are getting bushy fast...

Day 35, March 3: this is the last set of pix from my old phone, a galaxy nexus. upgrading to a galaxy note 3 for the next batch. the seed tray is made by Burpee, something I picked up for $11, hoping to do better than the mold-prone cardboard pots. i should have done more research on cloning...

Day 33 continued, so I don't like to give up, and having done a terrible thing with the first 3 clones, I decide to really go crazy and do some more mad scientist experimenting. oh those poor bastards, i feel so sorry for them now... Day 34, yup I overwatered! Also notice one of the...

Skipping to Day 33 (Mar 1): Everyone is doing fine, so I have to fuck with things of course -- added a bit more of the FF Grow Big to the water, I think 1 teaspoon per gallon for 4 gallons. Got a water meter, analog, with a detachable probe. Read everywhere that noobs usually over water so...

Day 29 (no 28 pix), the tops/clones were getting dried out and wilting, so I put some soaking wet shop towels over them. Had to wet them down every 3-4 hours during light, else the towels would dry out. Went from feeling like king kong to herp derp about this time. Also notice the twins' pots...

Hi Krush, say those are some fine looking plants :) and thank you for your service, from a fellow vet -- Army, two tours active duty then reserve

Day 24 (skipped Day 23 oops): after much consideration, I moved the two smaller "big sister" plants to 18 gallon bins with about 14 gallons of 75%FFOF and 25%perlite mix. My friend recommended 5 gallon buckets, and I was right on the verge of doing that... but I'm thinking I can use the bigger...

You know, it's kind of weird, but I had to explain to him about feminizing seeds and all that. He's rather old fashioned and a straight shooter--there's males, there's females, and there's weirdos who don't fit the classic mold, ya know? He thinks I'm a nut for using LEDs instead of...

Day 20, Feb 16, things are zipping right along for the four big sisters, and even Tinkerbell the tiny twin has sprouted some true beginner leaves: Day 21, time to celebrate the twins' coming of age by giving them big pots like their sisters: Day 22, seems weird to see such a wide...

Thanks for the advice, I don't know what media wise is but will certainly look into this product. I've seen Tiger Bloom advertised in the local papers and on the shelf pretty much everywhere here (hey it *is* Humboldt, this stuff is even in the little co-op grocery stores). What's GH?
