Haha just sent my girl to the "hyrdo store" for like her 5th time haha! They haven't seen me in there once! No one's gonna think twice if they're watching a pretty little blonde driving a Lexus pull up and leave....
But a black dude w/ dreads....Yeah, we have enough trouble with profiling as it is SMH.
Picking up another bag of Fox Farm Ocean Forest, some Rooters Mycorrhizae, some Azomite, and some Alfalfa meal. Time to start my next soil mix baby!
I plan on finishing my 12/12's in 1 gal pots more than likely.
Read about about mycorrhizae that was both good and bad, and figured it wouldn't hurt to try it. I saw a few side by sides of the same plant treated with it vs. one that wasn't and it was enough to sell me on buying some.
I'm going with Azomite this time as a rock dust instead of gia green glacial rock dust, just so I didn't have to order it again. But the glacial rock dust is working out well for me!
And some alfalfa meal...Read a lot about it and cannabis, so I figured I'd introduce the two
Ps...It's straight CRAZY how much the plant grew just last night.....the 2nd night of 12/12....Like theres and OBVIOUS overnight difference and it shocked the shit outta me!
*edit* They were out of Alfalfa, but we she got everything else!

JMHO but 1g pots will greatly effect your Yield.I switched to using Smart pots 5g for my soil plants.
I start in 2g then a week or two before Flower i transplant to the 5g with my Bloom soil,This allows
time for transplant shock.Which i rarely get but it does happen sometimes!
I hope this doesnt fall on death ears,and You atleast go to 3g pots.
oh you mean 12/12 from seed?

Oh no lol! Thanks for looking out captain. Just got BIG ASS bag of FFOF, some Azomite, and Mycorrihzae...About to start the next soil!Tht should be fine,Sry thought you meant the bigens and i was about toafter doing such a good job with the Vegging.
Beech
What do you know about adding mycos to plants that are already established? I.e the bigens? I'll treat the roots of the seedslings during transplant
Aprreciate ya

How much was it......1.5cubic ft.The FFOF? My damn hydro store moved now i gotta find somewhere else.
Dont know about the mycos,I use FFOF,EWC,and Fill bottom about 1/4 with BG for my flower soil.
Im really impressed with the Smart pots and will never buy anything else,Something I suggest you look into,for your next grow.

$22 after tax for the FFOF. They have Happy Frog and Roots Organic for the same price.
Almost when with Roots Organic, but figured I'd build of of what I know.
I read a few places already that's its good to add during flower as they'll help with freeing up P for the ladies! I'm lookin for a few more yes's and maybe some no' as to if I should do it or not...at this point it's a def. yes tho.
And what is BG?
And thanks for the response regarding smart pots. I'll look into the the next go around. I've got a few grow bags left over to use for now! I poked all the holes you see to try and similiate a fabric pot effects...IDK if it's really doing anything tho lol..Oh well

Soil mixed up for the next run!
I used:
-1.5cubic feet Fox Farm Ocean Forest
-38cups Wiggle Worms Earthworm Casting (1-0-0)
-10cups Perlite(may add more eventually)
-11tsp Rooters Mycorrhizae
*Soil Base
__________________________
-1.5cups Indonesian Hi-P Bat Guano (.5-13-.2)
-1.5cups Algamin Kelp Meal (1-0-2)
-1.5cups Espoma Tomato Tone (3-4-6)
*Nutritional Amendments
__________________________
-1.5cups Azomite(used as a rock dust)
-0.5cup Espoma Green sand
-1.25cups Hi-Cal Lime
*Mineral Amendments
__________________________
To finish it all up, I watered it with a gallon of water! Now to let it sit for a good 3 weeks to a month!
This mix is a little heavier amended(more in total nutritional amendment) than my current mix, and I used Azomite instead of rock dust, so that I wouldn't have to order it!
I also added mycos to this mix. I didn't treat the soil that my current girls are growing in with mycos, so the Azomite and the mycos are the variables this time around, as well as more food..About a 1.5cup more in total!
*edit..Also tested my soil PH at 6.5 fresh outta bag, not yet amended.

SO.....Ordered my seeds 10 days ago and they've processed thru about 2 hours away, SO it should be today or tomorrow!
LAST TWO SHIPMENTS WERE 9 DAYS from Attitude and TODAY THEY'RE IN-STATE ON DAY 10! Last couple orders...No stealth.
Call that consistency from Attitude Seedbank...Now just to hope it ain't the customs letter that's getting here so fast haha.
Ps...Ordered Ona on Jan 3rd from Amazon....Still waiting...Had to email the ppl a couple days back to find out where it was...still waiting...WTF
Luckily I'm able to remain calm under the circumstances haha. I heart this medicine

RIU Good deeds and help posts done for the day!
I say if we can all comment helpfully maybe 5x a day....We'll ALL be better of in NO TIME.
Some ppl are just ignorant and will say whatever just for a response and this website is home to some of those alter egos I'd say.
I've had a couple of rants on here to date haha WHO HASN'T! That's fact tho.
I can honestly say that I go out of my way to help the ppl here I feel like deserve it, bcuz I know ppl do the same, and have done the same for me.
I say those that deserve it because not everyone deserves to be helped in my opinion.
You need to show some sort of initiative that you're trying learn on your own, rather then just asking questions to get an answer without truly knowing what that answer means.
If this process was as simple as dropping a seed in the ground and growing trees, this forum wouldn't exist! BUT luckily it ain't and luckily it does!
#KnowledgeIsPower
PS. I do think the good here outweighs the bad in an incomparable ratio and that RIU is hands down the best forum for everything excepts organics in my opinion.
I'd give the organics nod to Grasscity, but there's a lot of good content here too. Just A TON of organic based knowledge @ Grasscity. But for INDOOR/CFLs....Rollitup by a mile and some

As always, just a look around that might inspire some ideas perhaps.
I flipped to 12/12 on Monday and it seems like they're grown a lot in just a couple nights of 12/12.
I beefed up the lighting and now have a total of 30 CFLs and 2 150w HPS Systems.
I have (6)18w 6500kCFLs @ 1170 lumens per = 7,020 lumens
(19)23w 2700kCFLs(5-5000k) @ 1600 lumens per = 30,400 lumens
(3)26w 2700kCFLs @ 1650 lumens per = 4,950 lumens
(2)105w2700k CFLs @ 4700 lumens per = 9,400 lumens
YO
I just calculated........
I'm running 833 CFL watts to produce 51,770 lumens.
I also have the 2 150HPS systems pushing 32,000 lumens(16,000 per)
So in the back bottom corner of my closet I'm pushing around 83,770 lumens!
I've threw together some make shift Mylar reflectors to capture more light.
They're made from Cardboard box and Mylar blankets from Amazon.
So let say due to the fact that I've got poor reflection in some places, I'm losing some light..
But in the places that I do have reflection, I'm gaining light..Between that and the fact that I rotate that plants constantly, I feel alright..
Lets just say I've done all I can to bring my lumens per square foot up! I'm hoping for some very nice buds in about 8-10 weeks! Don't wanna leave ANY bud on the table ha
Trying to have a level canopy of buds via LST
Seedlings growing fast and good. There are 8 CFLS hanging about 2-3inches above them. They're to the left of the photo above
Added some more light between the two plants
Too the right side of the plants are 4 more CFLs used as supplemental side lighting
My soil mix. Emptied the bag in there and went to WORK!
Ground level. Hanging above it DIY reflector
I keep my window open and we wear sweats around the house when it gets too cold haha..We sacrifice the heat as much as we can for the good of the cause. I set the heat off during the day and like 65 at night. This helps keep it nice and cool in the closet. The fans pulling the cool air in from the widow and it's helping TREMENDOUSLY! Glad i had the highdea to move everything to the floor. I might be able to get some purple in at this rate!
But yeahhh, just a look around

So after three orders from Attitude.....It's been 9,9, and 11 days! Hopefully the next time i post it's a pic of some nice beans!
And the sick part is that SOOOOO many ppl here order for those freebies, so it's gonna be a grow party real soon, with a lot of the same types of bu on here!
You can say i'm excited as hell about that!
