Ya, DelSol, it's a bit airy but a nice smoke, it's a little different than anything i've had guess you'll see once cured!

LCJ, that is the same "company" I purchased my setup off of...right off ebay baby. I've done 5 going on 6 as of right now for total grows with them. I enjoy them as they are efficient and very affordable. Grow success....you bet!

So this journal hasn't had too many views or posts so basically i'm doing this for my own sake now but will continue to update. Seems to me that the plants are all doing well as I had a bad fungus gnat infestation taken care of by "nematodes" which are by far the best fucking method I have come across to date, they're awesome! Anyways, it's been over a month now (1m8d) and all have begun flowering rapidly as well as general growth showing more and more shoots on those branches. It's about the second or third week of flowering as I have begun using tiger blossom along with big bloom and grow big. I plan to stop use of the grow big for a few weeks after a flush within the next few days to rid of any build up I may have and continue with just the bloom nutes for the next few weeks. One plant (Afghan Kush Ryder/PICTURE 9) seems to be a little over heated or was too dry as the leaves were curling upward for the past few days or so. Soil could have been watered more so maybe it was that or the fan being directly on them? So, I turned the fan near and not "on" them as it tends to dry them out somewhat. I will see if watering to a point where the soil is never too dry along with a flush and a moved fan will do the trick. Plants are being fed @ about 8-10 ml of each fox farm nutrient and seems to be working well at that dosage. CHECK THE PICTURES BELOW AND LET ME KNOW WHAT YOU THINK!!

What's up riu,


So today marks 3 weeks old, turning one month come july 14th. So far plants look somewhat healthy and have had no problems with PH, heat, N, or anything, until about a week ago..

I came home to all of the plants nearly infested with fungus gnats. I had seen a few recently but thought nothing of it...big mistake. The fungus gnats soon started laying eggs and multiplying by the second it seemed so I grabbed what I could quickly and set up sticky traps under and around the plants while using some Neem Oil Extract until my shipment of "nematodes" arrived. Well, today the nematodes made it to my doorstep and I immediately mixed them in within the soil and watered with my fox farm nutrients as scheduled. Now I get to play the waiting game to see if the nematodes can live up to their hype as I am a first time user. Other than that all seems well other than the height. I feel as though they are somewhat small but I may just be so used to growing larger plants rather than autos. As of this moment, the plants height stand at this:

AFGHAN KUSH RYDER: 5 INCHES
AFGHAN KUSH RYDER: 10 INCHES
TRANS SIBERIAN: 12 INCHES
TRANS SIBERIAN: 7 INCHES
TRANS SIBERIAN: 10 INCHES
TRANS SIBERIAN: 14 INCHES




I plan to LST soon as I assume they all are just about tall enough to do so, but I do have a a couple questions with this update..


A) When should I switch from MH to HPS since they are now starting to put out pistols and they will be a month old next week?

B) Is it okay to start to LST on at least some of the plants? Guessing you wait until at least 3 nodes?

C) Do you use all 3 of the fox farm trio (grow big, big bloom, tiger blossom) at time of flower or should I stick with my plan and continue grow big and big bloom until a week into flowering then switch to only tiger blossom?
