I second that to the fullest. This is the regimen I use. But I grow coco so I use AN Monkey Juice as a base instead of sensi. But the big bud and overdrive are great products IMO. I also like the bud blood for the first week. Gets my girls shooting out pistils a lot sooner.

Nice to see you got the seeds doog. I am especially keen on seeing the durban poison.

Hi guys!

Thanks for your interest

I have 4 cracked seeds that will be going in small (2 1/2") starter pots of soil under CFLs tomorrow

Mrs doogleef had a hand in the decision to germ the DP. She named her Mallory.

This has already been fun. Just collecting up what pieces I do have of my op. The bug has me now. I am a grower for life.

******* supplies

PH test kit and bottle of PH down. $11 Petsmart. (I know I need a real meter but poverty is a bitch)
Another 6" pot (black so I can tell the DP from WB) $0.62 Garden Center

u have any pics of the setup alltogether yet?

Nothing really new to show in pics at the moment. I will be putting the seedlings in dirt tonight.

I will take pics of that.

C U soon...

100% germ rate. All 4 ladies are now in dirt

All 4 had nice tap roots going. They are still on the heatmat under weak light for the first day until they pop then they got to the tent under the 6500k CFLs until they get some real leaves.

Will get a real camera by the time good pics are important ... promise.



EDIT: Thought I would explain the Higromite. It was put in the bottom of the "pots" for drainage. That stuff is pretty cool. It holds an impressive amount of air when flooded. It sounds like rice crispies! The odd shapes will help roots hold on, It will make a great hydro medium

Hey man... I've got my white berry that actually just turned 1wk old today! Workin on her second set of leaves strong! I can't wait to see how yours are doing with an update!

Another person with power skunk yet again, lol. I hope you grow those guys soon, theyre awesome!

Mallory (Durban Poison) is up and looking for light. I see 1-2 of the 3 White berries getting ready to come up.

Gonna be a long few months till I'm smokin my own

They go in the tent tonight. Pics later ....

Pics as promised. 2 above soil 1 more about to pop

HI downthedrains,

Thanks for stopping by. I will probably do the power skunk outside in the spring. I have the perfect place in mind ...

Hello RIU! Over 1000 views.... Thanks for taking the time to read

Day 4 (Sat) from germ:

Lights - 4 x 46W 6500K CFL
Medium - Soil + Higromite in small starter cups
Watered daily with Ph'd, 75PPM tap water that has set out with a bubble bar in it.
temp 70F lights off -80F lights on
22% humidity.

3 0f 4 putting on 1st leaves. 4th yet to break surface. I can see it -- it just has not stood up yet.


Got 1st nutes today.

FF Grow big.

Going to Home Depot and Lowe's tomorrow. DIY grower's paradise. I will be getting an inline fan and ducting for the cooltube, hopefully. Also need another tub for the lettuce and kitchen herbs. They will be deepwater on the kitchen counter I plan on feeding them with mom runoff. Recycling in fun and saves me $$$


Supplies ***********

1 QT. GrowBig (FoxFarm) - $17 - Dro store ( free veggie seeds for Mrs. )
Ebb/flow Fittings - $6 set - Dro store

what kinda soil are you using? Sorry if you posted that already, I might have missed it

With a lot of soils you dont need to give it nutes for 3-4 weeks. I didnt give my most recent one any nutes till I started to flower. Its one less time you need to flush anyway

Hi Stoney,

I'm using FoxFarm Ocean Forest soil. I do not plan on feeding them for at least a few more weeks.

My plan is to keep moms and SOG clones so I will go through this Grow Big eventually.

Heyya doogleaf

very nice, I havent used it but from what I hear FFOF soil works great. Good luck with everything

does f.f have a soilesss mix? without any nutes or fertalizer?
