have u checked out the magical $20 150w hps? My light was like $120 on fleabay with the ballast inside the hood, not air cooled or nothin but once I got the thing cooled down enough in my closet it was on! If u can make it happed, i think hps is well worth all the money u put into em. I mean the flowering plants in the pics above produced enough danky to pay for my whole setup. but I aint really into sellin my shit, just smok it for the pleasure ya know. Sit back and burn one.

Got some good news here on day 26 guys, my big one's definately a GIRL. Noticed the pistils showed up today 
I couldn't get any pics of the hairs(sorry guys) but i got one of the big plant and one of the tiny ones which i got on a no water diet for a bit. shitty pics, maybe some better ones later, hopefully.

Well I was just in checking temps for the 50th time today and noticed some stems which look as though they'regetting a bit of a red stripe on them
. I can already tell u guys it's from a lack of potassium in the soil, and the phos. aint so high in levels either. I've had this happen everytime now using the scotts soil, and I've tested the soil and right out of the bag it's super high in N but virtually no P or K. No biggie, I had a batch of grow big made up, so i added in the big bloom as well. It's not time to water yet, but next time

Fed the big one a good dose of grow big and bigbloom, and she's takin it very very well.
Also, I began my first attempt at lst, yesterday, which so far has done exactly what its supposed to- the main top turned right back up towards the light, and the newly exposed sidebranches are already considerably bigger
My other two seedlings... still nothin happenin.

Well, it's a neew year and the plants are comin along sweet! The one big plant in the pics is responding tremendously to my first lst with 10 soon-to-be-main colas, YUM! Also, my other two stragglers have found new life as well and look to be taking off finally. Anyone feel free to comment... ???
Thanks for stoppin by my journal! It definately wasn't N def. I gave her the flowering nutes and no more red. I had the same pro with this soil(scotts) before, but didn't know what it was till later on in flowering. The scotts soil is super high in N but has little to no P and K in it, making it ideal for vegging, but for flowering i gotta nute the shit out of it. Oneof these days, i'll get the cash to go out and get some of the f.f.o.f. soil, but til then, i'll go with scotts.

We'll start with the worst
to ensure a happy ending 
This plant is 33 days old from seed today, it started slow, just like the rest, but then had a root problem in which one of the roots decided it was gonna grow 'up' out of the soil then back down. Naturally the plant nearly stopped growing for a couple weeks. My plan was to let the plant stretch, then cover it up with more soil. 2 weeks later, and no stretch, i cut the bottom leaves off and reburied as planned, since then she's lookin to be taking off, finally!
This one is a couple weeks behind the other two, but is coming along nicely as well. Seems these lrak's have a slow starting tendency in my particulair setup, but then they take off as normal.
Well, here's the big one, tied down in whichever way i deem necessary to create an even canopy of tops, on top lol... so whatcha think guys?

U know what, I found the alaska morebloom at a loca lnursery for like ten bucks for a quart. But then later on, I saw the same shit at HOME DEPOT, only it was like a gallon jug for ten bucks! I used it on my last grow with the mollasses and the shit turned out DANK! I switched to the fox farm stuff this time around just to see what all the hype was about. So far, i can't coplain, but it's during flowering when we'll see if there's any difference. As of now, everythings lush and green, and beautiful

.Well it's day 38, for my oldest girl and the lst is working nicely. It is however developing some brown spots between the veins a few older fan leaves 
. At first i thought it was a pottassium defficiency, after testing the soil for N P K levels i'm beginning to think it may be NUTE BURN! Still not sure on that one yet, but other than that, she sure is lookin perty

My other two ladies, which had some issues in the beginning, have bounced back amazingly and are flowering as well. Oh, and I got a new 400hps from htg, AIR COOLED, DIGITAL BALLAST, should do wonders for the temps considering the heat the old light put off.
