First time growing in 10 years, tell me what you think of my setup

berkman858 said:

My estimation of 2-3 ounces per plant may be way off but you have to remember that the system I am growing in is all about speed and yield. The only reason my girls aren't a foot and a half tall by now is because I burnt the fuck out of them and them the slime came and blew loads all over my roots. Those two things stunted their growth so I am actually way behind where I should be. It's ok because I didn't expect them to make it this long and I will recover any lost time when I add CO2 next weekend.

You are growing in soil and that is not going to give you super crazy speeds or yields but should provide a beautiful taste if you do it right. Remember, it's not appropriate to compare two very dissimilar systems and expect similar yields. Yeah you can pull an ounce off each of your plants, IF you don't fuck it up! JK, but for real don't be so concentrated on per plant yield until you are a more advanced grower. I am really unconcerned with my per plant yield, I was just guessing cuz you asked.

Again, I am happy my girls are still alive. Every time I open the tent and see them alive it makes my balls glow green, is that normal?!?

Cool, I was starting to worry about it. I took some pics but my camera can't white balance against the odd green glow; Adobe Lightroom crashes when I tell it to Auto White Balance.. Stupid expensive camera can't take a decent shot of my nutsack. 8(

Oh, and you you FUCK your plants too? I am glad there isn't a law against it. My dog watches in horror every time I do it.

Just thought I would let everyone know what's in the tea that I am brewing. Here you go:


Earth Worm Castings
Bountea Organic Humus
Plant Success Orca
Growing Solutions Compost Tea Catalyst
Molasses (but I won't be using this anymore since the catalyst is all the food that the bennies need and won't clog my pumps)


Again, all Reps go to Heisenberg since I am just adjusting his recipe.
