Once they start to report income and sales tax all the other states will soon follow suit. Sit tight and wait boys its all downhill from here (in a good way)

So guys just wanted to show you what I've been up to today. All my smart pots and everything came in today. So excited! Well here's some pics of my 2 girls. They are at 2 weeks today.



Here is the pics I grabbed of the root balls before the transplant.

hey giggles imo id wait till those roots fill up those lil containers a little more ,and little more air to rootzone also.but nice setup.gotta love those smartpots.

Thanks bro. It was my first time growing in something that small and the soil that I had them seemed to be burning them. Pretty sure it was due to the large amount of bark in it. So I decided since my smart pots showed up and they were looking a lil sad so I just gave them there new home lol.

They look amazing since the transplant. I'll have to grab a pic in the morning when the lights come on. Girls are sleeping

Thanks everyone for your help in here! I've been growing for awhile but have learned so much on here that has improved my techniques before. My very first grow was a hermie plant that ended up with 4gs lol.

im glad some states made pot legal but if you grow your own how is the state making any money besides sales tax from us and money from power/water usage not trying to hate because i love MJ but it is not what is will all seem once it is legal as you can grow you whole feild if you want to and sell it mad cheap....i dunno im stoned and rambling

also the girls are looking nice i will have to post a pic tomorrow or the next day if i get a chance they are sleeping now

So I woke up this morning to my amazement my girl got really fat over night lol. Just a daily bud porn shot for all you guys.



Enjoy happy smoking and growing my fellow 250ers!

*Edit-She is 20 days in here.

No man. Don't vent the hot air back into your room. If anything get an infline fan and cool tube/hood and have it sucking air out from inside the closet instead of pushing air across your light.

You never want to just exhaust all of that hot stale air back into your grow room.

Just think if you were a plant would you like it if someone blew a bunch of hot stuffy air onto you?

You want to be able to exchange the air in the room at least once every 5 min at a very minimum.

If you have any other questions feel free to ask bro. Were always here to help.

good afternoon everyone! Quick question...i currently have a 250HPS and have 2 seedlings that sprouted a few days ago. i am rather scared of burning or stretching (they already are a bit tall for how old they are) the little ones this early, so i was curious if im better off just vegging them under a good chunk of CFLs in order to prevent stretching. Currently i just turned off the HPS (about 3 feet above the CFLs) and have 8 27w CFLs around 2 inches from the seedlings. Is this a good idea to keep the HPS on along with the CFLs or should i just use the HPS for flowering?

thanks in advance

IMHO You are doing the right thing, I veg all of my plants under CFL and my mothers live under CFL. It does take a little longer, but I have time and space (astronut..lol).

Edit: Part 2 of your question: Keep the HPS off for now, seedlings do not need all of that light. If you want to add it after the "seedlings" become "plants" it wouldn't hurt them.

So today I ordered a waterfarm . Let my journey into the world of hydroponics begin.

Anyone have any advice on a waterfarm or anything? This will be my first go at it.

How many plants Giggles?

I'm thinking 1 with a SCROG. I'm just trying to up my yield and I was really wanting to try hydro and it seemed like the waterfarm was a pretty good setup.

coolguy how close is the light to the tops?

the lights are like 12 inches i plan on the growth to be no more than another 6 inches as they are almost 2 weeks into flowering i hear by the end of third week they stop getting tall and an inch a day growth is possible so 7 days= 7 inchs. so plants should level off around a foot tall i hope if not they have another 6 in to grow until the cool tube and i bet they could grow into the tube without dying as the cooltube is not hot at all

New Pics..



NL 7 weeks (pics don't show it well but there is a lot of amber.. final flushing for harvest.



Found these at Lowes


MM 5 weeks


MM 3 weeks (pH burnt.. never assume your meter is calibrated )
