nice, that oughta pay off in the long run if he starts commercial growing lol. id say "i get 10% cause i helped you get here".
haha, well the thing is also when he started he was very low on money. So i said id put half in on it. I got him 2 power strips, 6 adapters with y-splits, 10 23k 6500k, 10 23k 2700k, 2 desk fans, 2 rolls of gorilla tape and two 1 gallon self watering buckets. My pal said he would help with the soil since i still to this day suck at anything medium related lol. So i guess he feels he owes me lol.

I would be careful with that Miracle Grow Perlite and babies. It does have nutes build in, I prefer to have any plant that little in a seedling soil mix, avoid any issues with nute burns early, when the burn can be fatal.

well your advice didnt go unheard i put soil all around the root area [wanted to see how far the root has gone] but just a little so the roots have some base nutes to work with cus your right i dont wanna add nutes this early it was just barely cracked when i put her in yesterday now shes got a 1/8 tail so things going fine so far.

damn, quite an investment there. i wouldnt dare to do that with one of my friends though, they'd kill any plant theyd touch probably.
and im with frosty, mg can burn the hell out of seedlings, watch out for the slow release nutes and add perlite if you can.

010412-0205.jpg/////////////////////////////010412-0206.jpgseed popped out of the only perlite. theres a tad bit of soil around the roots to help it start but like 98% perlite

nice, i rooted a clone like that a few years back after a few buds told me it couldnt be done on here. worked out very well the transplant didnt stress it too bad either. you might have to water more often with these though, much like coco coir. just always check the bottom holes, perlite crushes very easily with moisture as well so this could be a good test.

good idea, ive also been using the "lift" method because the perlite is super lite weight you can tell when its watered.

030412-0203.jpg okay so end of official day 1 for Perlite kush and as you can see shes growing fast!!! it was like 6 hours ago she was coming out of her seed and still forming and not even kidding i come in 6 hours later shes fully opened, she actually grew crooked because i didnt expect her to form so quick so i left the light kinda not exactly over her. But now i moved the light directly over her and i will keep updating. Thoughts comments chuck em at me :)

im growing outside right now and had a bit of a pest problem a few weeks ago, i then planted a marigold next to my plants and added the marigold flowers to my foliar feed, along with some diced garlic. zero problems now, she looks happy everyday even after a heavy water or rain. try it, neem oil and all that fancy shit rarely works for me and arent always good for the plant.

040412-0639(001)(1).jpg040412-0640.jpg040412-0640(001).jpg okay heres a update. The bagseed is still lagging along, getting a lil bit taller at least. Perlite kush is just a little bit smaller even though its 2 days behind the bagseed and shes looking very healthy. The hours have been swaying around a bit but i'm keeping a base 12-12 for these girls still. Questions, Comments, Suggestions...anything shoot lol

I transplanted the bagseed i think that medium i made once again was junk. I'm using sphagnum moss [since ive seen lots of successful grows with it], compost, perlite and egg shell. Its been a hour since i transplanted her and shes not wilting or shriveling up so i think it was a successful transplant

if your drainage is bad a good way to add perlite would be to poke holes and fill them with it, great for root aeration as well. also make more holes on the bottoms of your pots if you have any watering problems, should help the moisture wick out faster.

yes good point, i think the mix is like 30% perlite i just felt i needed to replace the medium because i have the proper lighting, been watering 3-4 days, got airflow, temps are 77-78, no nutes yet. The roots didnt look very expanded they looked deep but not with tons of roots coming out kinda like 3 main ones which means the last soil must of been smothering the roots with water eh? i poked holes down as you suggested so idk i think i just blew it on that last batch
