1st Grow... Working with what I got!

Sooo... More than 12 hours after transplant, and she is looking good!!! I'm thinking she LOVES the FFOF (at least compared to the MG). So wilting or color change thus far... hoping she stays healthy. Thanks Barbie and KronDon!! KronDon- Iraq war vet? My hubby is too... 8 years.

As ex-military, how do you view my avatar? I used my WWII grandfather's flag that was displayed at the cemetary on Veteran's Day. I TRULY believe he would agree that we are in a severe state of distress right now. God Bless!

Me Personally I like it it puts your point of view into perspective. Your showing how you feel the nation is right now in a respectful way, putting the flag upside down is not a sign of disrespect and like you said it was actually used in history as a sign of distress

Good to hear KD. It was in NO way my intent to disrespect anyone. I figured most military personnel would understand, but since I've never been in the military I couldn't be sure.

My hubby said thanks... and also that he would probably run it upside down right now too...

UPDATE: We are down to my 1 plant in a sloppy pot... The other sprouts that grew up look like they are some random weed (the kind we don't like LOL) but I will let them stay in their 6 inch pots and soak up a little light... Keep my baby company. She is getting her second set of leaves!!!

LOL, I had no idea... I think that's cool! I have a strange Q for you... I noticed the law is for sativa l. ... so if I can prove it's indica in court, would I get away with it? Not saying I have ever had to deal with that, just when I read the laws it made me wonder. LOL

That I don't know. Weed was just weed. There was good weed and bad weed, but it was just all classified as marijuana.

LOL... thats what I figured, but me being the smart ass I am, I would try and find some loop hole! LOL

LOL nothing wrong with loop holes I'm sure a decent lawyer could pounce on that technicality if it ever came down to it

Lawyers are a pain in the ass until you need one to represent you. I see absolutely nothing wrong with exploiting a loop hole in the law. That's usually why they're there.

I was watching "Wild Justice" last week and I heard one of the game wardens open a bag of weed, smell it, and say "Wow, that's DANK!". I thought to myself, "Hmmm self, have you ever heard a non-smoker use that term?"

LOL, I'm sure that he was at least an ex-smoker... but IMO, once a smoker, always (even if secretly) a smoker!!! LOL

As far as the lawyer thing, I am hoping to never find myself in a situation that requires that advice... LOL

My plant absolutely loves the FFOF and my sloppy pot (bucket- whatever)... the new leaves have doubled in size since this morning (about 12 hours).

I got some reg seeds from my best friends little brother... pretty green stuff so I think I am going to experiment with them.

That is great, I will have to steal that Idea for my next grow!

Please do!!! Thats why the threads are here right! LOL

Ok, so I took 4 solo cups and poked some holes... filled with FFOF and a tiny layer of perlite in the bottom. Took the 4 bag seed from my friend and popped them in there. I will keep you updated on their progress... Just want to see how I do without the paper towel. LOL - They are chillin with my sloppy pot. The second set of leaves doubled today (so cool!) and thats about it for now. Oh, got some little ph test strips... my water was like 6.0 the whole time...

OH NO!!! My stem is yellowing up and the cotyledon have shriveled up and fallen off... THEN I SAW A TINY LITTLE BUG CRAWLING UP THE STEM!!! I'm assuming it is thrips... which makes me think that the FFOF i got was not sterilized (or other crap in the store wasn't)... So as soon as I can I am going to by this eco-smart organic garden pest spray crap to get rid of these little bastards right away. ARG!!! Of course this would happen to me... LOL, but live and learn right.
