Picture 092.jpgPicture 090.jpgPicture 091.jpgPicture 093.jpgjust finished feeding & noticed im getting little bud starts so things are looking up its time to start adding some molassis to things & back off the cal-mag my next grow will be 6 plants instead of 4 plants #1 &#3 are my favorites with #4 being in there as well #2 will be eliminated in the future im also gonna start feeding more perhaps every 3-4 days im thinking growing this from clone is gonna give improved performance:idea::leaf:

this is great watching you raise these girls, i couldn't ask for a better preview of what my next grow is going to be like, thanks for your time sharing herk. so so far in your grow i see your girls are tall but with indica shape leaves and branchy as hell....so would you say they are light/med/heavy feeders?

hey james so far they have been medium feeders although i fed them aggressive grow 1 feeding & it didnt kill them they just got sluggish after i flushed & lightened up a bit my growth pattern returned youve got to remember most of my grows have been hydro im still learning this soil stuff im not gonna increase the strength of my nutes just the frequency of my feedings to about every 4 days instead of 7 because of only growing in the 3 gal pots & what youre seeing just about on the money indica leaves especialy early growth & sativa stretch later on truly a hybrid

Nice journal I plan to use the Skywalker Og for my next project
I have done side by side comparisons with the smart pots vs regular pots and it is amazing how much better the smart pots grow
Keep it up, can't wait to see the end result

i too have become a fan of the smart pot i used the ones im using now for my coco/hydro grows one change im considering is going over to 4 gal smart pots instead of the 3 gal ones for a little more root capacity

all i need is a lil nudge and i'm on the smart pot train....are they any different than the air pots? herk why the switch to soil? im a dirt bagger for life but im curious why you switched.

hey james i switched to soil because ive tried 2 og strains prior to this [holy grail & og kush] my method of hydro failed to produce the funky,fuely og flavor these strains are known for so this time its back to basics & hopefully success also my taste in my grows has shifted to quality first i dont want the most just the best i can produce i started out doing rockwool blocks & slabs then coco & smart pots & now soil & headed in the direction of organics im also considering down sizing to a 250-400 w. switchable galaxie ballast at 1 point i ran 2 rooms but i only care to do this on a purely hobby level these days as growing really brings me a lot of enjoyment & im somewhat of a strain junkie always wanting to try new ideas & strains but im really looking for the quality soil produces

i'm with you about the love of growing and the satisfaction you get from it.......i could easy be a strain junkie, never heard it put that way....i read strain reviews and reports about all these varieties till my eyes cross..

I promised I would cut off the small stuff from the bottom this time, but when I went to do it I just couldn't bring myself to cut off more than one. I really will try again Friday..
