She's 12 also
I was talking to a nice young lady yesterday that was saying girls are starting younger and younger due to food products? Im soooooo scared, I never want my sweet little girl to grow up and all that.... just want to put a time bubble around her sometimes.... its an inner battle, because I do want her to grow up and live a full wonderful perfect life... lol

I remember a girl got hers in my 3rd grade class. The teachers all had a concerned feel to them. I later learned periods that early are a sign of sexual abuse. That had something else make sense. Why she asked me in 4th grade if I wanted to have sex with her. I didn't even know what sex was. Fucking sick that someone messed with that little girl.

Props to you two for raising daughters the right way.

TLD... sounds interesting. You getting ready for something???

While I can't say I got kids, it's interesting to see kids grow up (I have a 7 year old goddaughter). It is fucked up how a human being could do that to a child. My mom is a social worker so I've heard some of the worst stories. So sad.

Jig I'm glad the appt went well. I bet it was a great moment for you and your wife. As for the watering of fabric pots, I've learned the same lesson, slow is better.

Whodat bringin it back. Temps were better because I left the door open. I can do so many things differently now that things aren't hydro. Leaving the door open is one of them. Temps hung around 78f (26c). Only one of the big plants and one of the little one were droopy after about 8 hours in the 1000w. I turned the light off and both returned to normal within the hour. Thanks man.... here's a few pics.

Not that you have to remember or even know what I'm talking about... but I've numbered them. There is Sour D #1, #2, #3 all those are in the big pots. Then there is Chernobyl Pot (C.P. for now), and Chernobyl #1, #2 (in cups). The droopy ones are the Sour D #1 and Chernobyl #2. My best plant is Sour D #2. :)

This one got dunked in a compost tea bath. I put some in my sprayer, added wetting agent, and discovered sprayer don't work no more. So this one got a bath lol. Seems to be happy with it. :)

Yeah its going to take them a little to adjust the the more intense light... Maybe ease them into it. Keep an eye on the dunked one :-) Id like to see what happens.

Stress free is the way to be....aright terribly corny but I think I'm with whodat on this one. I still haven't turned my ballast up to 600 yet (went 300 for 2 or 3 days and today went to 400). I figure give them a couple days at 400 and I'll bump it up again. You'll find the happy zone for them mane. You're a talented grower.

MAn you guys and your fancy adjustable ballasts, I wanna get one of those. I often think 1k might be a little over board when I'm first putting clones in my tray, but they get used to it.

I was starting from scratch and had the extra cash so it was an easy decision. I just like it so I can ease plants into the higher light intensity. Plants tend to adapt well I think.

Oh I completely hear ya man. I can't complain I got my whole light system as a hand me down for free pretty much. I gave the guy that gave me it like a half from my first harvest. Either way I can't complain. Since then I've replaced the bulb and the reflector, the ballast is the only original part. Once I replace that I'll finally have a complete second light for back up... or expansion.

Hey everyone. The one Sour D just doesn't want to not be droopy. Could this be from over watering? That's what I'm getting from the plant... not sure if my plant reading in soil is up to par yet.

If I remember correctly they didnt have a whole whole bunch of roots before you transplanted. my guess would be that the plant is devoting a considerable amount energy to growing roots in order to support whats already there and promote new growth. Also, the plant was originally drawing in a bunch of its moisture through its stomata. has you RH dropped more than 10% in the transplant transition? Has turning on the HPS increased or decreased RH and/or temps? let the soil dry nicely over a bout 4 or 5 days in between watering. My previous comment was more about watering evenly throughout the soil, it usually goes dry on the surface first, so using your finger to see how far down its dry helps.

If you have another pot or container handy put the same amount of dry soil in it and give it a lift. Then lift your other ones, if its easily apparent the plant is heavy then don't water. When I was OCD with my soil in the beginning I actually used a digital scale to weigh the plants and I knew exactly what a dry pot weighed for reference!

Luckily you're in smart pots too, they take away about 50% of overwatering issues that regular plastic pots have :)

My RH is below 10% all day long, lights or no lights. The HPS brings the temps from around 70 to around 82... but I have left it off most of the day and the plants still like that. It's interesting though because it's not flopped over like before when it didn't have enough water. It's kinda just limp with its leaves hanging like a tired man walking home from work. I stuck my finger in the dirt and it seems nice and wet just below the surface.

Low tech ftw. I swear it's noticeably heavier than the other two that look good. I would have drowned them already in plastic pots. :)

Thanks guys. Hope your wednesday is alright.

Wednesday has been good man. I decided to get my journal back up, posted an update today. I don't know if it will be a regular journal really, but I figured I'd post some pics and info occasionally.

How does the plant feel Jig? Are the stems soft, or do they feel firm? Probably just getting itself established. Relax with the h20!:)
