Aight here are some pics :) Buku veg day 24 and the two tss seedlings which I'm having quite fun with cutting them everytime they grow a new head lol. Each one will soon have 16 heads in the next coming days. The BUKU is turning around. The top two branches have stretched above the fat leaves and now are on top :clap:. I have water sitting out for the morning, I'm giving her just a half gl of water and I'm gonna take 4 individual pellets of sunbird guano and put 'em in the soil for a really light light light does of 10-10-.02 the recomended dose is 3 tablespoons a gallon of water which is way more tha 4-5 pellets. But I figure since she is recovering and this crappy soil :( has added nutrients in it (not much like .25-.20-.10) I don't wanna over do anything again and have to veg for longer..... Well here are the pics again sorry for the crappy quality don't have a camera, not looking to get one here till about christmas time sorry guys. Later on I'll switch the light for a couple minutes and get pics but not much happening here so I don't feel like doing a power spike.

Well well well. It looks as if the BUKU was just in dyer need of some nutrients. When I opened the tent this morning to check on her, her new growth had doubled in size. I have no burn spots and the leaves that were starting to yellow have stopped. I'm planning on doing a final transplant some time next week. I would really like to transplant into either FFOF, or my normal Roots Organics. I kinda want to try the FFOF, but I don't have the money to be mixing the FFLW with the FFOF thats just a bit to much for my budget this grow and it will bring more questions as to what I'm using the soil for if someone sees not one bag of soil but two big bags of soil and I haven't added anything new to my outside garden lol. Oh well I'll figure something out. I think I'm just gonna stick with the Roots Organics it hasn't done me wrong yet so I'll stick it out. Anyways I'm out I'll upload some pics on sunday.

Just got back from running some errands. Went to walmart and picked up a 12" pot for the transplant next week. It looks about 5-7 gallons. I know it has to be bigger than 5 gallons but I don't think its quite 7 gallons. I've made up my mind I'm just gonna splash out on some more Roots Organics, gonna go pick it up tuesday during the day and transplant wednesday morning when I get up making it a week since last watering. Anyways :blsmoke:

Yeah she looks like she could do with a feed GFK.
When you water her make sure it's a good one. with a nice bit of run-off.
12" pot should be fine, your not gonna grow her too big are ya?

Ya she needed the feeding pretty bad. I had put some of the guano in the soil already a couple days before the watering to get it into soil and get started breaking down. I added a couple pellets to my water let it sit for a bit to start breaking down shook water around till pellets were dust and then watered. I hope I don't grow her to big I'm thinking once I get her into the bigger pot and on flat ground I'll be ok. I just messed around and took the rubbermaid contianer out and the pot in. The pot stands just as high as the rubbermaid, I have the grow bag right now set on top of the rubber maid so I'm thinkin another two weeks veg and a lot of LST and I'll be good. I want the undergrowth to get a bit bigger before flipping the lights also its just to small for my likings at the momment to be flipped. And btw I got rid of both of the TSS plants..... I kept spilling the bitches and getting soil everywhere and got real fed up with the shit so I just chucked 'em.

You know... :o

I have to give you guys Props...:clap:

You guys in soil are like the Wizards of growing...:-P

It's just so amazing to me that you can look at a plant and see exactly what's going on...:clap:

Deficiencies, under/over nutes, diseases, pests... :-(

WOW!

You guys just look and know...:o

I am soooo far out of that league...

I dread having a problem... I would never be able to troubleshoot like you guys do...

I've killed HUNDREDS of plants...:-( probably more than most people will grow in a lifetime...:wall:

But you guys...:clap: I gotta hand it to you...

YOU are the legit growers...

As a Hydro dude.. I am merely a system operator... following a SET list of instructions...

..

Well... much RESPECT from the Gypster... and sorry about the hijack...:razz:

Ya know gypsy that really mean alot to me I mean really.. I was just telling my g/f how much that meant to me. I take pride in growing (even legal plants after all this is what I want to do with my life) last harvest off of my chili plants I got 95 peppers!!!!!!!! Of course I saved every seed I could get out of those nicely grown fruits to save them for sale for next years planting season (I Plan on starting my own chili pepper seed company) so I can sell them to the public. I love growing anything and everyting you should have seen my house and the garden when I first moved in and what it looks like now. I am going to school for this and want to make it a career. One day I hope to have my own hydro store that stocks multiple brands of growing equipment and also have the knowledge to give people advice. I know I'm only 22 and I have a BUNCH more to learn but thats why I'm on here getting advice from the pros like you bro...... Thanks for the compliments and lifting my spirits even more bro......

Dude... I am not a pro... did you miss the part about killing hundreds of plants????:eyesmoke: I wasn't exaggerating...:lol:

Since I have been growing for a year now... I've decided to upgrade from NEWB to BEGINNER...

But I am FAR FAR AWAY from being a pro...:lol:

Ha, I've killed many a plant in my time too.
It's called learning by your mistakes, and they are the best lessons.
The thing with growing MJ is all you need to do is get the basics right and keep it that way.
This is why a 'self confessed' 'newb', like Gypsy gets great results lol :lol:

Once you got the basic down the rest is tweak'n the shit ;)

GFK... for future reference it would have been better to get that girl into her final destination ASAP.
Too many transplants will slow them down. :peace:

Ok well after thinking about this I would say I say your a pro and other do cause of the set up, the space that you can use and those very nice TREES/bad ass SOG garden. I've killed a couple plants as well first starting, I would say hundreds but ya know..... :) Well that makes me a beginner now then since I've been growing indoors for a year aswell.

Ya gotcha thats what I figured. Its too late now though as its sat. night. I'll go monday morning on the way out to the beach :) and do it when I get home that night. I was mainly worried about watering her again so early. I don't want to have her overwatered again. I guess I'll just stretch it a bit more after I transplant. I would like to start the training as well so monday it is. :):blsmoke::joint:

You must always give them a good water when you transplant GFK.
In saying that...
If your transplanting a moisture stressed plant you can just dampen the new soil before you put her in it and don't water after transplanting.
You be the judge though depending on moisture level of soil when you pull her out of the bag she's in.

Ya watering when transplanting is a must it helps the soil settle down around the old pot mold to say ya know? I'm sure by monday the bottom of the bag will be fairly dry. When I watered last I only gave her a half gl of water for 3 gl's of soil. I'm sure everything will go nicely, and that I'm just overthinking everything but hey atleast I'll have my bases covered so to say.

Ok well I went ahead and took the rubbermaid prop out and flipped her future pot upside down and put a couple books on top. She is now right at 15" away. I left my hand over top of her for a good minute and it never got too hot so I'm thinking/hoping I'll be good. I'll have transplant pictures and everything tommorrow. I might even flip 12/12 sometime this week who knows.....
