250w HPS Club And Help Guide

Thanks Ace. I use BioBizz, and like I say, very little flush for a 7 litre pot, but I have def found a difference in taste in the short term. I'm sure with some time in the jar, there is no difference, but I usually get through mine pretty quick, and as this is strawberry, I really want to make the most of the taste. This is just a low producing plant, normally quantity isn't much of an issue. It's only for the last week, and as it's not a huge flush, it's more of a case that they are using up any unused nutes in the soil

What's up guys, how is it going?
Just put some cali connection BOSS HOG in the coco .
I donated my berry bomb and just had some Dinafem seeds going.
Critical+ and a Blue Widow, but I keep reading bad reviews about
Dinafem .all saying that they shit is just "okay" (low potency)
So I said f that im gonna pop some more seeds .what do you guys think?
I still got the other plants though. Im not growing in a big tent. One or two
Plants take up my whole grow and I don't want to waste it on some BS

I getting ready to switch out of the ProMix/Coco/"little fly" blend that my girls are in atm and put them in FFOF.

The question is "will 2 gallon smartpots be big enough" as a final container? Or should I get something a bit larger? (I have some 2 gals already) Everything I have now with the promix/coco seems to be mildly infested with those pesky little flies and I don't want to have them in the FFOF or in the room at all. I already have a few of these in 1&2 gallon smartpots and a few are still in 4" containers.

My plan is to take them all out of the room, dunking them in a mildly fert'd bucket to get all or most of the pm/coco off of the roots before I transplant into the FFOF. While they are out of the room I'm going to spray everything down with organic insecticide and give the room a good cleaning. I just need some feedback on whether the 2 Gal smartpots will be good enough.

Interesting Horizontal grow RedEye..How do you keep the soil from falling out?

US gallons or UK? 7 or 9 litres? Either way I would say yes. I've gone to 10-11 litres before now and found a lot of rootless soil, which is a pain in the arse cos it stays soaked and not great for the roots

I've never had luck with Dinafem... I thought it was because I only tried them when it was a freebie... maybe not?

Personal Jesus:
Statistically a greater number of people consume peanuts, then pot. Of that number of people, some are fatally allergic to peanuts, and as far as I know there has never been a case of fatal allergy from MJ. Finally, the more fragile generations such as the elderly and children are more likely to consume peanuts then pot. Hope that answers your question

grazz,depends on how many plants your doing and how big you will let them get.i mostly use 5g containers.my fab pot is 5 g.i use smaller pots too.but the biggest bushes with the most bud are coming on the bigger pots.i was thinking of try a a couple 7g fab pots.i also am about to try a new soil mix.revs 2.1mix tlo.no layering or spikes though.everything has been mixed and has been cooking almost a month.so excited to see what happens.

Thanks CBT, I decided to go with the 5gal grow bags and I'm picking up some Happy Frog soil to mix with the FFOF I already have. I'm in a holding pattern for now, so I'm trying to see if I can get some growth from the plants that were nearly dead (vacation kills!!). Maybe I can get some growth that be cloned .

In any case I don't plan on transplanting anything until I can do it all and get rid of the promix/coco that has the pesky little fly infestation..

Snow in Mid-March!!! Sweet!! Calls for a duvet and J day

Hey Grazz what wrong with the cocomix ?
You don't like it?

what kind of little flys? i have ran into gnats,thrips and recently spidermites. i used a mixture neem,glaric,rosemary,cottonseed,clove oils,and drop of soap sprayd 3 times 3-5 days apart.during spring through fall i release some ladybugs and or praying mantis.

have you tried putting a layer or perlite on top of your soil?

Does this really help with bugs?? I know they often live/breed in the soil, but I always imagined they could just work their way through perlite no problems. How thick a layer are we talking??

They are tiny flies/gnats, less than fruit fly size, I started getting them after the all coco grow I did (hydro ebb&flow). I tried a layer of sand but never completely got rid of them. I switched to a promix/coco mix and it wasn't as bad but not gone. Now I'm thinking it may be the smartpots, could it be that they lay eggs on/in the mix and just hang out on the sides of the smart pots or near the bottom where the pots never really get dry. I do know that having little larvae chomping on the roots can't be good, not to mention the chance of more than a few fly/gnat corpses sticking to my buds..

Since I'm switching mediums I figure it's a good time to get rid of them rather than control them. With all fresh soil I'll be looking and can take immediate action if I see them again..
(btw: I'm going to be using 5 gal poly bags this time just in case it does have something to do with the smartpots..)

Ace, I did like a few things, fast growth for sure, but it's still basically soil-less (hydro without the rez) and I'm ready to try soil. It will be nice for a while to just use water , learn how to make tea's etc.. it's a new challenge and an opportunity to learn.

SO I chopped the most ready looking nugg off of one of my Blu Cheese yesterday, and here it is. Totally solid and packed and dense as hell. Quick dried a little bit overnight and already has that blueberry taste. My plan is that as the weekend arrives and it has dried a bit better, i'll have something to smoke while my Strawberry cough dries (which is getting chopped friday). Also, as this nugg has had no flush, it will give me a better idea of how much i'll flush in the last week, or just give them plain water for the last 10 days. Either way, after weeks of crappy over priced street weed, I will soon be back in the abundance of free(ish) quality budd

It's a girl . One of my Nirvana Bubblicious plants from reg seed showed sex today and looks like she will be a good mother.. germinated at the end of Jan and just 2 weeks under the 250.

Week 6 of flower and I discover a light leak....again!!! Noticed the budds were starting to form new calyx's, and thought that this was due to the light being too close. Raised it up a few inches, but a week later, and no difference. Unzipped the tent a tiny bit this morning and peered through.... a tiny dab of light was coming n through the cable hole/vent at the back, and reflecting off the aluminium ducting. Pulled the ties really tight, and hung a dark blue towel over the back of the tent just to make sure...hopefully I can still harvest in 2 weeks. I think that the light leak only started recently as the sun became bothered to do something, and only added maybe 45 mins to the start of the light cycle, so they don't look too stressed or hermie-like. Fingers crossed they pull through

Harvested 1 og kush from reserva privada, free seed.

first to come down was the big cola, weighed 14 grams dried up.

this is whats left and is dry ready for curing. another 32grams.. so just over 1.5 oz altogether

this was my first time feeding through the soil only with organics and from the start, she was heavily overfed and was overloaded with nitrogen so i just fed plain water to the end pretty much, lesson learned to go easier with that bloodmeal next time

frosty goodness......
