OOOOOH! Red Dragon! I want some now! Thanks for the pics. I'm drooling so much I need a new t-shirt or a hair dryer!

I'm not a soil grower but don't you think some strains like hot nutes and some it kills? My BF Blue Cheese was a whoose when it came to nutes.

Yeah no definitely I understand where you're coming from on that and do agree different strains do like different things, but every strain I've grown from start in OF has never been too hot.

Nutes being too hot usually becomes a slight problem for me sometimes when I first apply the nutes to the soil (Foxfarm too), if the plant's a finicky one. Other than that no issues with the soil being too hot.

Next grow will probably be hydroponics, I'm gonna try my hand at it and see how it works out.

Looking great Mind, I'll hit you up with a link when I start the journal, or you can start it and send me a link. Either or, just let me know. I'll probably start it tomorrow or so for shits n' giggles.

Also I'm glad your mom is finally at rest. Keep your head up, and props on keeping a level and positive attitude dude :eyesmoke:

i second that this is what i do..

Are CFLs best suited for vegging ? I didn't know, for my first grow I was using my 250w HPS for vegging and it was growing pretty fast.
I might think about it for my future set up.

MH is the best light for veg, but gets hot and is the most expensive.

CFL (Daylight spectrum 6500k) are good for veg too, they don't get as hot as a MH but they still are pretty hot and they're the cheapest. These also work very well for some extra supplemental lighting.

T5 (Daylight spectrum too) is also good for veg, and is the coolest out of the three and the pricing is midway between CFL and MH prices.

From best to worst, it'd be MH, T5, and CFL's.

Also it's not so much the type of bulb/light that's great for veg it's the spectrum.

Veg likes the Blue spectrum mostly and Bloom likes the Red and Orange spectrum mostly.

For a more natural spectrum (Like outdoors) you can use both veg and bloom light spectrums together throughout the whole grow.

There's plenty of options but ultimately the choice is yours, and what your grow setup/funds can support.

Hope this info helps you out :mrgreen:

My future grow will be made with a new aeroponics (I found one to grow 4 plants for $30), so I'll get MH for veg and HPS + CFL for flowering.

Thanks for the info !! :clap:

Good morning all. I check into the site routinely and do a lot of reading, but I figured I'd post for a change.

My 250w grow consists of a 250w HPS, a few lucky bag seeds from a local, and a lot of learning. This isn't my first grow, but each time has been significantly different from the preceeding. This one is the healthiest I've done.

Update-

5 weeks into flowering (34 days to be exact)
