Hello RIU community. my name is thom and this is my first ever grow journal..so bare with me.

let me start off with a little bit about myself and why I am growing.

My goal through this grow and future grows is to be able to make myself and my grandfather enough medicine so we can live as normal and pain free life as we can giving our circumstances. I was buying from a streat ddealer and was paying nearly 1000 a month for me and my pop. I was buying from an old classmate who was charging me 500 an oz..I couldnt pay that anymore as it was breaking me and since we are so against prescription pain pills i decided to look up into growing my own medicine. so for the past 2 months ive devoted alot of my down time into skimming this forum and reading cannabis grow bible. so here we go.

I bought 3 clones about 2 months ago. I put two outside and kept on inside under a 42 watt cfl until about a month ago when i purchased all of my equipment from htgsupply in mass. since then i ordered about 40 seeds from attitude and was not very pleased with the turn outs from germinating them seeing as how i only have about 9 left of the 40. I had a digital ph pen i was using and it was very inacurate so it led to extreme fluxuations in my ph and i lost alot of them except the 9 spartan like seedlings that survived. so I have the 3 clones, 9 plants originaly from seed, and 9 clones that i just took off of a good friend of mines plant that i just transplanted into party cups on 9/1/12..

I have 2 4x8 agromax grow tents from htg along with 2 600 watt dimmable ballasts although i only have one tent going since i have no need for the other tent yet,( I will be taking clones soon I will show you which plants i will be cloning once i upload pictures...as soon as i figure out how).

all plants are in either ocean forest, happy frog, or a mixture of the two with perlite added for taste :hump:


nutrients i am currently using is fox farm grow big, but i have dynagro grow and bloom, along with protekt and neem oil that i would like to switch too but im not quite sure if its suitable for soil growing seeing as how i didnt see too many people who use this product in straight soil grow. so without any further wait i will upload the pictures and give a detailed description of what each plant is.

thank you and hopefully i get some people following me on my journey!

and ive been feeding all plants but the clones at .50 tsp/gal of grow big, do you think i should up the dose, im not sure if they are just still yellow from the ph problems i had or if there actualy experiencing a def. I read its alot easier to over feed then under, so thats why im so keen on feeding more. any input anyone has is welcome, positive or negative id love to hear it

ok looks like you have a lockout check the runoff when you water (ph)
#2 overwatering that where the droops coming from
#3 make sure you dont put fresh rooted clones in FF oceanforest it too hot for them
and for further growing switch your soil try ROOTS ORGANIC much better soil all the way around
check your new growth that will tell you if ther back to normal other than that your looking good keep it up im here if you need me
i was a first timer and this is a nice starting place

I had a nutrient problem due to a crappy ph pen I had. I recently purchased a blue lab ph pen its been working great so far! And maybe the ocean forest is what's making my clone show the problems they are. I'll let then go for two more waterings because the new growth looks healthy and take it from there. Glad to have you aboard though, are you a fellow dirt lover?
