You must be psyched to see how they've grown since you've been gone! Congrats on the bachelors btw You ROCK!!

^^^^yeah what she said........congrats on your BA/BS? degree....

So I feel better with my degree, sorry its been a long month, So after vacation I came home ad found root aphids, they damaged a good majority of the crop and dropped a good amount of fan leaves, I chopped one plant and got about a half off of it, cus it had no fan leaves, I got some neem oil but it doesnt seem to be doing the trick. I have one plant doing extremely well I will be posting pictures soon for you all to see the damage, this is why you can never trust anyone watching your crop while you are gone. Im not quite sure how i got root aphids this quick but it happened, futere i will be baking my soil in the oven to sterelize it.
Im not sure how much longer they have before i have to shop, im thinkin maybe two weeks, and that would be chopped early, but i will leave the one that is doing good go. Im squeezuing it super tight because i move in three weeks, so I can throw a trash bag over the one plant when i take it to my new house, it wouldnt be that suspicious with one, it would be if i was doing six. lol but the stuff i chopped is super heady and i dried for three dyas jarred for one and then actually microwaved some buds to smoke ( i know i know) but hey it wasnt harsh and was super smooth so im happy, Buyt there is always next grow wich will start as soon as i move in to my new place. I nopw have my 2foot 4 bulb for veg and my 2'foot 8bulb for flower

Hey bro.......sorry about the aphids/ yeah nuking the soil is a great preventative, DE also helps..........On to the grow/will tag along...........peace/happy growing

so its been awhile i know, been super busy had to cut down most of my stuff except two i just couldnt move them all, i did a shit trim job but the shit is still dank, the high report is an A- only reason is because its a creeper hihg, I got a total of 53 grams of kush off 3 plants and the thai haze skunk is still goin at it lookin like 2 good sized quarter ounce colas

^^^^^^nicely done .............for the situation at hand......

Sounds like you have been very busy my friend....lol!
What the hell are root aphids? I'm going to be looking into that. I have had a very similar experience, seems like we have all had some significant things happen to us these past few weeks! The site has been f'd up again too I see.....Geesh! Hey....I betcha what you've got is way better than anything I can buy up here...lol! I bet your excited to start your next batch

It makes me happy to see we still check in even when life throws us a curve

Without any ventilation an 8 bulb 2' in a tent could reach 96 max

Just popped 4. Ogre99 x skunk seeds maybe a fifth am starting a new thread , these seeds are bred by my boy and popped after 32 hours in a paper towel so they should be winners

YAY!!! Winners.....lol

So My thread got deleted along with thousand others , here's a quick "get up to date" with my grow which started Germination on 2/18/12

Light up for this one

Keep in mind this is a stealth apartment grow. Smell, Temp, and Noise are a big factor!

Grow Style:

* Currently all plants have been topped once, or twice.
* All plants will be LST'd
* After transplant I will continue to veg using more LST and SCROG

Lights:

* Hydrofarm @' 8 Bulb T5
* 6 - 6500k
* 4 - 3000k
* 2 - 2700k
* 1 - Coral Sun Actinic 420nm
* 1 - Flora Sun
* Along with plenty of CFL coverage if needed

Tent:

* Earth Woth 32" x 32" x 63"

Medium:

* Top Soil (contains Peat Moss w/ consistent texture, Perilite, and Vermiculite mix

NUTES:

* Alaska Fish Emulsion - 4 spoonfuls per gallon ( Wont give nute burn)
* Alaska Big Bloom - 2 spoonfuls per gallon
* Superthrive ( only for transplanting)
* Blackstap molasses

Pots:

* Good ole party cups
* 12 - 6" for seedlings
* 4 - 3.5 gal bathroom trashcans ( only reason is because they are taller and not wide. Height is not an issue for me, width is.
* 2 - 5 Gal Buckets

Seeds:

* 3 - Kush
* 8 - Thai Haze x Skunk #1
* 1 - Mystery Kush

Temps & Humidity:

* Tent Temps -
Lights on - 79-86
Lights off - 74-80
* My Room temp stays around 72
* Humidity stays around 34% - 42%

Ventilation:

* 1 - 4" Inline 240 cfm Fan
* 1 - Carbon Scrubber
* 1 - 120mm 56 cfm Fan
* 3 - 120mm 56 cfm Fans Blowing over canopy right under Lights
* 1 - Tower Fan hung in Tent set on High
* All 4" hosing

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

So all in all the seeds sprouted within 36 hours of the paper towel method and popped from soil within 24 hours after that.
The light Schedule was using 7 - 6500k Bulbs and the Coral Sun 24/24 and that was for 23 days.
I switched to all 2700k and 300k bulbs along with the Flora sun and Coral sun and going 12/12 since March 15, 2012
After sex shows I will transplant and switch back to veg for a 3 more weeks or longer until I see they are ready.
And this is where I'm at now.

And now for some pictures.
