wow, fdd. you really made my day. i'm growing for the first time and i found most of the instructions on this site overwhelming, and it's good to know that all i keed is some nitrogen and whatever's in the pink bottle. the only other stuff i have is a timer, one 30 watt (3000 lumen) cfl, and a spraybottle. Other than more cfl's, what else do you think i should get?

OK, for any newb's out there growing hydro. Please don't stop using your nutes. Carboload is essential in hydro', so to many other additives you can buy, as in hydro you need to replicate what the plants will get in soil. I've noticed that cannazym improves the taste of bud, one grown with it tasted lovely, the other grow wasn't up to it on taste. What about superthrive?

fdd... i read all this thread too. i love you also!. i have great news... i went to check my plants yesterday and i see that a few of my plants have purple buds.. look!!
now my question is... since it seems just the white hairs are purple will those change to amber when there ready or do you think there is a chance it will actually stay purple?
also, i have a crappy camera so im going to go right now and try to take better pictures... im sooo excited!

most hairs will turn amber when dry.
i'm confused a little though. "the white hairs are purple"

a "pheno" or phenotype is a plant that expresses slightly different genetic traits than others of the same breading pool. if you were to buy 3 packs of ak47 for instance you would find all the plants can be grouped into 2-3 different looking "phenos" like a tall lanky pheno, a short stumpy one, one that smells different...etc
a homogonized strain like skunk#1 has been bread for so long that it has no real phenos, all the plants look pretty much the same, hence the "homo"(same) in homogenized.
yes even the purple hairs turn brownish orange, the bud itself doesn't like to stay purple as it dries either unless it's very bright, i get a few purple buds every year because of the damn cold here and they usually fade to a dark green/purple as they dry.
yes! finally somone agrees with me! i have been fighting with people for years about this, they think you can somehow screw up growing pot and have it come out as hemp. have you ever grown corn that didn't taste like corn? an apple tree that only put out rotten raisins? plants are breeding machines, thats about it, they have no reason to grow more buds or tomatoes or whatever except that it will help them breed and keep going. there whole life is trying to grow as big as it can and make as many buds as it can. every bit of energy at this stage goes to the buds, hell the plant even eats nutrients out of it's own leaves to feed itself. all we do is give them space to do it, make them happy as possible so they put out the MOST they can, and not the BEST, as that is detirmined by the genetics, not quality of life. even a crappy 8 inch tall plant that has been nitrogen starved for 4 months will put out a gram or two of primo bud,(ive seen it happen) probably about the same potency as the same plant grown big and healthy.

what ratio of soils and perlite do you use?and this....... the evil stuff. MG
what ratio of soils and perlite do you use?
i used 1 part of each soil and 1 part perlite. i had 3 soil types so 25% perlite. hope this helps.

ya it dos! I'm going to mix mine up right now in the dark. then again I'm a little worried though. my organic soil says not to place it in a pot? i'm hoping mixing in the perlite and fox farm fix that? i think i grabbed the same soil as you "mg organic garden"
yep. i bought all that soil, 2 bags of the organic, then i get home and in small print on the back it says not to use in pots. i used it anyway. it didn't seem to hurt anything.
see, more bullshit!!
MIRACLE GROW ROCKS!!!!!!!!!
