Something i've been putting together, this is the second half of my first attempt. Im all mixed up on Nutes, some Technaflora(free sample kit full line), some foxfarm(just started week 7 of 12.12, and 2 part pro formula Botanicare, black strap the whole flower period. I had problems with gnats still fighting them, they are the only thing keeping me from getting to my goal 21oz(gr/watt)... kidding but thats the ultimate goal. These got huge quick then gnats slowed em fast, they are great quality tho. i think the the last pictured plant will give me almost a zip per cola(2) that would be nice. Oh and im using fox fram ocean mix soil 3 gal containers. any comments or feed back would be great im pretty new to this though, i've helped alot of people this is my first(clones pictured are me second run these were taken today)Photo on 2010-12-24 at 23.36 #2.jpgPhoto on 2010-12-24 at 23.34 #2.jpgPhoto on 2010-12-24 at 23.35.jpgPhoto on 2010-12-24 at 23.33 #2.jpgPhoto on 2010-12-24 at 23.34.jpgPhoto on 2010-12-24 at 23.37.jpgPhoto on 2010-12-24 at 23.38.jpgPhoto on 2010-12-24 at 23.33.jpgPhoto on 2010-12-24 at 23.36.jpg

i doubt you would get a zip wet weight off those kolas even untrimmed but i do LOVE the enthusasuim, couple questions if you dont mind, how old are your girls there (veg age)??? quite obvious that some are flowering but are they the same ones, just at diffrent ages??? pleae keep posting through harvest i wouls very much like to know how much you pulled :) either way impressive and i hope you grow with great success. stay medicated.

well we will see those colas are about as big as a 2 soda cans stacked up and like a super dense so I'm sure in the next 3 weeks it'll dry to atlesst 20 something grams each. Time will tell. Next time will be much better tho I've learned so much.

def not needed, if you are using those other two, i use full line of fox farm and i wouldnt advise mixing any of their end bloomers (beastieze and cha ching) could only lead to bad things, but if you are planning on SWITCHIN to cha ching then i would stop using EVERYTHING else for more then one reason 1. if your going to go eat steak at a 4 star reastraunt...why fill up on bread before your meal arrives??????? 2. nobody likes ver fert...and ps....DONT FORGET TO FLUSH FOR A WEEK

How do you like the fox farm line up. I'm torn between that and humbolts organic line. I wouldn't use both as I've heard now they run hot and to be careful. I always flush 10 days to 5 gals/gal of soil then last flush is blackstrap only finish with just that. Have you tried the line from humbolt? Or has anyone I want to know before I drop the big load:)

i have not, i have used botinacare and fox farms and fox farm is way way easier and it doesnt smell if you dump a couple gallons of it (stupid botanicare) but have heard Humboldt nutes pack a punch, but i know fox farm doesnt let me down so...kinda whatever you are feeling, although i wouldnt really want to switch it up this late into it. good luck and stay medicated.

Repotting day! Most hated day in my opp, 5.5" square pots for my veg, got my 400w out now that hortilux eye blue mh is off the charts they love that. More LST and hopes that they get big enough in 3 weeks once my others are done so I can flip the lights to 12/12 and start my new line up of nutes (fox farm bloom line with humbolt organic as the base) post pictures today of the progress but my phone sucks and that's my camera for now so...

Trasplanting went long mixed my own soil combo up then 50 babies into 5.5" square pots. Last night I built a2x2 by 4' tall grow box from plywood and scraps. Trying to do a under 100$ 250w scrog purple grow(purple diesel, purp ak, an lavender(urkle)) trying to see what I can get out if it. I will be using a different nute lineup as a demo a humbolt/fox mix. Will put pictures up of the final job. 3 weeks of veg and I'll have it going. I need fans tho and is nor cal winter no one has any!! Pics up after I get off work

Yep I'll post pictures when i pull them all apart to pretrim and to chop them. Those will be the better pictures. I just wish I had a camera. Also anyone know how I can fliptge pictures. They are fine on my computer. They always flip landscape when uploaded. Oh and I put 120 gallons through them last night then 10 gal of molasses water. Took me 5 hours with a pond pump and a 5gal bucket. Flushed my lavender train week with 15 gallons alone. Mmmm shell be good to go in 10-14 days.

Maybe someone can explain it better, or another post. You kinda soak it in Luke warm water for a week I thunk. Changing water everyday. It takes all the toxins and foliar feed stuff off and I guess you lose alot of weight but it's way better, so if I like it I'm gonna do it for personal. I don't know. I read about it on this site. I'll keep updated pics of that too. I guess it drys quicker once it cones out of the jar
