just took these pics of both grows, heres the new girls and everything is going great with these 2 new ones. the kandy kush a.k.a. kushwreck is just a little behind the rocklock which is looking very sexy after getting clipped, LoL. temps are great in the veg box with a high of 84 and down to 73 last night in the dark, just great!! i gave those girls some rain water with a few drops of schultz all purpose 10-15-10, they're loving it. checked the run off water and it was 6.4, perfect, LoL.
venus is looking very happy, i put some more soil in the bucket, i guess her roots arent that big and i need that stick holding up the big bud. i gave her some of the straight r/o water for a drink, she looks very happy, LoL.

Thats not bad at all with straight cfl's in that uhaul CD!! Shit I only picked up a few more grams off the Angry miget but I had that 250hid on them for half there life too..
I bet with these new strains and your experience you will be able to pull an oz + off each plant! Are you doing the side lighting still btw?
Venus is still showing a lot of growth just like my Starburst I think another week maybe 2 haha and they will be fully mature! I think we should both wait since we have bud too
I'm putting up pics in a sec, I'll start with starburst

oh hell yeah bro, im happy as shit with that for what raven was, and its not to bad, i just hit the bowl a couple times on the way out to the track and i got a real good buzz on, still do, LoL. so thats why im thinking 2 weeks and i cut and the little ones will be ready to go into the flower box and i'll dry venus in the veg box and take a couple clones and they'll go in after drying, dam, LoL. did you get all that? LMAO.
ok side lighting, yes, i wanna get at least 2 of those double bulb 24" fixture to try in the flower box to start with, i want 4. the double bulb isnt much more that the single so that will be $53 for 2 of them. and bro, dig the new avatar!! thats cool.
and the really good news!! im ordering the fox farm trio as soon as i get done writing this, LoL. $48.98, shipped from ebay!!

hey no problem jp, im always thinking, LoL. i just need to come up with $50 now, LoL.
on my plants, the little ones ive been watering every other day, i have straight water in the gravity fed jug and i just wet the soil good for like 30 seconds and then the next time, i used a gallon jug i have with like 7 little holes in the cap and hand water them with the schultz mix, again just till i soak the top of the soil, it runs right through pretty quick.
on the big plant, i water, right now im flushing, but when feeding, i would go till the first inch or so is dried up and give her a good soaking like every 3rd day. i guess about a pint or so each time.

you rock! I am so interested in doing a grow in hydro then in soil and see what if any difference there is. I am seriously thinking that the box idea you have come up with is a winner for a soil grow. I have the vanity light i bought and wired and y adapters. that will give me 6 bulbs plus side lighting. and you cant believe how many freaking pc fans i have of all sizes hehe
What did you line your box with? I found emergency blankets to be a pain in the ass to install. you seem to need a few layers

the box is 21" x 24" x 48", that emergency blanket is just right to go aroung the inside of the box. i used push pin type tacks to hold it up, start on the back and then work around to the sides and cut off a piece for the door. then just cut holes where ever you need for fans and intakes and such. mine is a 3 hole light with 8 bulbs atm, i wanna go to 10, LoL. then some chain and you hang it right from the metal bar in the top, works great. its best for a 2 plant grow.

Believe it or not I got all of that lol. It sounds like a hell of a plan, keep those girls going if you can! I would take at least 3 off each "just in case"
The side lighting is just going to help that much more, remember you could always go cfl's with clamps for a cheaper side lighting alternative
Either way I'm sure the girls will love the extra light!!Good stuff on the fox farms, you wont be dissapointed!

thanks jp, its cool. i just hope it helps you out, its a pretty cool setup, stoner thinkin all the way, LoL.
yeah i know should get extra clones, so that kills the party cup deal for now, im glad i didnt start it. as for the side lighting, i looked the other day at those clamp ones, i can get 4 ($2
of those for price of 1 T5 fixture. and a pack 4 bulbs for $8. we'll see how the cash goes as to which i get. i cant wait for the nutes, i copied your feed schedule from the other day to use.

i would not bother with those particular t5's they r not High Output and r not 4 growing and wood b a waste of money . u seem to b over ferting dwn turned brown leaves and sativa/sativa leaning plants in general r not nute hogs.indicas like ur growing now have a peculiar dislike 4 being repotted and wood sugust u go ahead and put them in the pots they'll finish in . wont need to fertat all during veg using ffof soil as it is hot 2 begin with . be careful with the ff trio they r mightily stout and will burn your girls 2 a crisp use at 1/2 strength throughout even if following their fert schedule,less is more and its already in ffof soil . very nice ghetto grow and beautiful bagseed plants the pink is off the hook , hope u have real dank this time round good luck .

also ffof needs bout 25% perlite added , its a somewhat heavy mix with a good amount of worm castings that gets compacted when watered . will b watching
