Grow Journal: my first grow with 600w MH/HPS

ya i h8 not being able to find the soil i want but i found ones i like that are accessable now im trying to fine tune how i prepare soil for dif cycles o ya and thx for replying to my post it made me more aware of what was going on i think im gunna fertilize the bluberry soon since it has large root system due to that overpotting

Nice setup, I'm using a 600 watt HPS too

Ya I wet through about three dif soil til I just decided to spend the extra money and get fox farms. Definitely worth every penny.

If I had started off with fox farms I'd prob only be a few weeks from harvest right now. Oh well live and learn.


Haha ya I usually try and check my RIU a few times a day.

If you have any other questions or just want to shoot shit definitely post it in this thread. I'm not picky who an what people post in this. I made this just to keep track of my progress and get some help along the way.

have you ever tried coco?? Im goin from fox farm to coco and im learning as i go..... The biggist trick for me is being is finding a perfect time to water..Therre in 3gallons.. Leaves never droop after 5 days of drying or water day after day.. Its like theres no over or under watering ... Any one with advice send it my way.....

Well to be honest I have no experience with coco

it is an aeroponic medium, meaning there is lots of air. I don't think I would go 5 days between watering. That is weird because after 3 or four days my bigguns seem to show the onset of underwaterimg.

I can do a little research for you but it'll be later in the day. To be honest I would water when you think your plants need it.

But as you can see my mix is about half coco. I can put in a half gallon and get drainage( I love good drainage). I have thought about venturing into aeroponic but may go from soil to bubbleponic. Who knows though. Any one have any experience in coco?

for the win

haha nice. dont know why people dont just go for the 600 rather than getting the 400.

Damn Pineapple! Plants are looking amazing since I saw them about a month or so ago... Keep it up!

yup i must agree they looking alright now ehy

are the 2 of you hitched?

Hey Bro looking great!!! what day are your plants at? i would almost stick to the fox farm for this run, try using the coco next time around! try to learn and master one technique before starting another! your plants are looking great in the soil! but either way i got your back and will help you to the best of my knowledge with whatever way you go!

hey monkey. im about to post pictures. i turned 12/12 on the 4th of may and they are prob 12 days into flowering. ( since budding and pistols flaring) had one go male on me but chopped him down before his lil sacs opened up so all good there.

the SLH are very very very slow starters. my big one hadnt really started any bud til yesterday or the day before. they both have pistols and just chilling at that. but once the buds come they kinda take off. thats what the big SLH is telling me haha.

but the Kaya 47, and the two bagseed, one named EPK, one name EPN are budding like crazy and i think i may get good colas outa them from the looks of it. the two SLH are very stretched.

As for the White widow, sigh well when i left she got kinda nute burn. i flushed her a little tonight with straight distilled water. ugh. but none the less has some budding. except one of the colas just didnt quite rise with the rest. but 3 are high and mighty haha.

they have doubled in height since the last pics posted. and all but the small SLH has buds on it.

did i lose all of the followers of this journal?

no man Im still here just chillen, how are the ladies today?

oh they are doing great. haha i just figured everyone was just busy with their grows and blazing lol. while i was gone my WW got kinda nuteburn but she is fine now.

although my little SLH is being really slow to start budding. showing white hairs but not trying to bud at all. but the rest are moving right along. hows your outdoor crop doing? stopped by your journal earlier today. haha those rodents giving you hell still?

I don't know I haven't been out there in a few days, trying to keep my trips to a minimum so I don't make a trail, I follow deer trail in and out too all of my plants but still.

they are looking good!!!!

can i see pics of ur SLH im growing it my self but im only just sprouting it

ya ill throw some up in a sec. one is being a slow starter though.
