(not if they tryed this tho ...lol)
its a really big seller if not the best seller in the dam, home ov the ganj
the white peat in it is some fine shit,
the soil its self is oxygenating,,
both drainage and retention is bang on

I HIGHLY RECOMMEND.................................

cool. did you mail order it?

yea,, from a uk hydro store,,, u can probs get it in shops over there,,deffo

propped up mah plantz, they r happy! my zinnias sprouted from their peat pellets, too

gots me some zinnias too!!!!!!

lovely zinnias, growman3666, I hope you get some nice flowers!

My planties are almost tall enough to take some clones from. Thing is, I really don't want to spend the time and money to set up separate flowering/vegging chambers. I may just put them into flowering as is, and reveg them afterwards if the smoke is good. I've read a few revegging forums, and despite the hatred for reveg setups, those who do it seem pretty happy with their results.

Why is revegging bad?

thanks,
revegging is bad because not only does it take a long time to put a plant back in the veg state after it has had it buds picked but will stress the plant out so that it grows very abnormally if done right can work fine maybe getting a third less bud from each plant then the previous harvest, Some strains can handle this better than others

So how is it going now, love to see afew moe pics, lol

lol sorry I've been gone, I'm studying for a crazy exam and haven't been too active here on RIU. Anyhoo, despite the controversy I've put my plants into 12/12 under 2500K. Mostly I just didn't feel like putting the time and money into a separate flowering area. I'm aware of the drawbacks of flowering and revegging, but really, if I can just get some free-ish bud out of this project, I'll be happy. If my plants bud, harvest, and survive revegging, AND the bud is tasty, I'll take clones and set up a flowering area and make moms etc etc etc.

So here's my plants!


I've been using some clear plastic as splints to keep them upright. They're just rectangles of various lengths with a little "V" cut into the top for the stem to rest on. I've had to use them less and less as the stems get stronger and the plants stay straight up.

I'm keeping the soil moist with a splash of water every other day or so...turns out the mushroom I grew was probably due to overwatering.

They seem fairly happy. The one in the lower right with just cotyledons isn't doing much. Her "true leaves" were just pointy little white pistil thingies that didn't develop, so I don't know what's gonna happen...we'll see!

The biggest plants have single triangle leaves, then a second node with three triangle leaves, and a third node with baby five triangle leaves.

Growth has been rather slow. I'm thinking I'll get a spurt of growth once the roots find the nute rich MG that surrounds the peat pellet. I'm in no real hurry

Thanks for keeping up with me!

Best of luck to all you growers

ah, it has been awhile. The little one died, and one of them turned out to be male. I now have four stinky females, each with a single bud site which grows a bit each day. My main problem has been heat. I've semi-solved it by freezing water in large tupperware containers, and just leaving them near the plants. with careful arranging, I can reduce the heat from 100+ to a more palatable 80. Fairly soon, the closet with the plants will be air conditioned, but hopefully I still get some smokables! As it is, I have a small bowl's worth, if I were to harvest now (no chance of that!)

Pics soon!

fuck dude long time no post, good to hear that you've got some females!!! Hope the closet gets air conditioned soon man, it must take a while to perfectly arrange the tupperware containers each time you move something.

Looking forward to some pics of the ladies

Game plan:
1. Let the plant get to about day 16 post-germination (praying for a lady...)
2. tie down the top so it's nearly horizontal
3. switch to 12/12 lighting[/QUOTE]

What do mean when you say tie down the top. Im a new grower and i am working in a 2x2x3 foot space, so obviously im looking to maximize what lil space i have. Loveing what your doing so far bro this thread is kicking ASS.
