haha. I live near central Illinois. We got really good dirt here. Im not even sure what I would add to this dirt... If Chi-town catches this post, he could prolly tell me. He's put a few ladies in this Illinois soil.

I dont think I'll have to do much, if anything.

{Edit} Come to think about it, I already had a conversation about this in the outdoor thread.

ummm even if your not breeding you should take a couple of clones afterall on of them may be regrow worthy.

as for watering pick the cup up if it feels heavy (usually compared to origional weight but if you cant remember just think of how heaviy you think hey should feelish)

if its heavy just spray the top layer of soil a little with a spray bottle as it will help the top roots avoid drying to much posibly stunting growth. and at the same time allowing your cup/soil to maintain/trgain some air. you cant actually over water them but you can take all the air out of the soil which will cause the plants to suffer. the method of just spraying the topsoil for your own satisfaction is a good way to maintain a good soil consistency and encourage downward root growth)

basically you want your soil to be damp or moist as this is the best growing environment for the roots unless of course in a bubbler or certain hydro setups that is asthe constan supply of water is airated so it doesnt need the air in the soil or the rocks and what not need to be constantly wet... meh you get the idea.

as log as the soil is a nice damp/airy texture your plants will love it. IMHO ive noticed that when growing in soil the plants in a dryer environment living happily genuinly produce better quality medacine. not including some setups of course lol.

They're comin' along. As I said in the PM, I put FoxFarm on the bottom inch or two of the cup, and I think the Power Kush found it. It's growing fast!

I will put up more pics soon.

...And I have answered!

Power Kush!:weed:


Skunk #1!:weed:


Mama Mia!:weed:


Himalayan Gold!:weed:

After these pics were taken, I finally got around to filling the cups the rest of the way up. My original reason for leaving the top open, was to illustrate to new growers that may be looking at the journal, that all I did was pretty much just set the cube in there.

The only note-worthy thing that happened this week, is the Himalayan Gold bent a little too far. I've moved the fan further back, and put the light back a little closer to keep them from stretching as much.

Other than that, they look good!

L8R!

haha looks so much like mine in some of the pics it's scary....I got the same brown carpet with the same dark brown desigs, the same size blue tub a big bag of fox farm soil, perlite and peat moss set on top and my closets in the corner just like that lol. Weird but your actual room is a lot bigger/better than mine. Anyways good luck i'll be watchin I want that a-train

Click to expand...
8 or 9 weeks. If they still look really good at the middle of March, Im gonna' take a couple of clones, let em' heal a little, than flip the photoperiod on em' twords the end of March.

I should be posting pics of hairs by the 1st of April, and should be smoking the Mama Mia by june as it's an 8-9 week harvester.

@ Pipe Dreams: That's cool that we're thinking alike. Haha. Great minds, man... Great minds...

Ufortunately, my inexperience has costed me some ungerminated seed on this grow. The A-Train didn't grow. I've discovered that my germination method was flawed. I used too much water in my ziplock bags. I used good seed from well known breeders, and my germination rate was 50%.

Fortunately for me, another member was cool enough to point this out to me, so I can keep from making the same mistake again.(Thanx again Jester)

My surviving strains are...
Greenhouses Himalayan Gold...
Dinafems Power Kush...
Seedsmans Mama Mia...
Seedsmans Skunk #1.
I got high hopes for that Himalayan Gold. It's supposed to be potent as hell.

@svchop: Thanx' Bratha'! Im already ready to smoke the little bastards! Little too early? Haha.

Bullshit aside, they're doin' it by themselves, man. Im just adding water.

I forgot to add this in my last update of the room... The girls are now listening to a mix CD of Bach, Beethoven, and Kenny G. It's funny. Every time I step into the room, it feels like Im in an elevator, or a waiting room. Haha!

glad to hear you filled the cups up. tbth i didnt even realise lmfao. if you leave gaps like they trap heat and humidity and moisture all of which could cause problems and/or stunt growth.. though indoors this doesn't seem to pose as much problem as outdoors, especially when the plants get bigger.. the light normally has a hard enough time penetrating the canopy in most casses lowering the temps anyway.

still a very good move.

also the mothers stretching isn't always a bad thing if your intending to take cuttings. though im the same and like to make my nodes as close together as i can. umm just keep an eye out for pre-flowers then take your first cuttings as the plant is showing that its reached vegitative maturity and are ready to be flowered once the photo period suits. less stressfull to the cuttings/plants to be. again this isnt necissary but a really good thing to put into practice as its the best for the plants.

{Edit}

I edited this post to upload some pics. I want to show you all how FAST these girls are growing. I just posted pics on the 8th, and look at them after only 5 days!!!

Here's a couple of updated pics of the room. Finally got my cabinet stocked with a couple of the things Im gonna' need in a few weeks...


The Ladies...

The Gold!


Mama Mia!


Power Kush!


Skunk #1!


You should open a second tab, on page five of this forum and compare the pics from five days ago to the pics from today!

These girls are gonna' need to be in 5 gallon buckets by next weekend! It's cool tho. My soil's been composting for a while.
