<- Check this out regarding a soil mix bro. Here are the recipes to my current soil mix, and my new and improved soil mix. I just use FFOF and get it right for the weed!

And bro...My very first light was a 1000w light haha! BE CAREFUL! If you're having temp issue with CFLs, that thousand watt is gonna make it impossible.
It's gonna bring the temp of your grow space up by like 15 degrees F. Literally. They're WICKED HOT! So DONT use it unless you can adequately cool it.
You'll kill your plants with it if you use it wrong, and itll only take a couple minutes to wreak havoc causing irreversable damage.
Burnt leaves don't fix themselves. They just die!

And everything looks good bro. When your plant come up some, I'm sure ppl will have more to say! Keep it up
didnt see fox farm at home depot is the problem tho

yeah the new closet is about one foot deeper and 1/2 ft wider + im not gonna be in a box anymore but im using the whole closet this time. gonna wrap in emergency blankets from local store, what kinda soil? home depot is pretty much my only source at this point in time at for heat issues with the light, it has a massive air cooled reflector hood and the bathroom is located directally next to the clost so i will have a good exit source for drawing the hot air from the box, was considering using the ac unit to run a cold line into the closet? what do you think?

Look for any organic soil that's not time release...

Looked thru homedepot for a good 5 mins and did see much. But I'm using that tomato tone with good results..
You can't get everyhing from home dpot tho. If I were you, I'd bite the bullet and hit Amazon up. It's worth it in my opinion.
If you skimp on the soil, they plants will let you know how they feel haha

Im telling you how hot the 1000w will be bro!
if you don have good ventilation, the heat it produces with burn and kill your plants.
i killed one with a 1000w hps. Cause irreparable damage in like an hours time...eventually tossed it.
so just keep that in mind!

Spent a year and some change in Holland and Super Silver Haze was top 3 of all I had.
Growing as critical jack right now so I'll feature here in a bit. IDK about the critical but I LOVE Jack Herer, so I'm expecting good things.
I also have a stacked Kush seed which is sleestack and OG Kush so I'll find out about the sleestack eventually.
From what I've read it's known for being a resin producer for sure.
And never had or read about the tga bomb bro
