My babies are not doing well at all. Two days after the lights fell and basically killed Sexy Mama and Bee, the poor babies got attacked by fungus gnats. =( I ran out of course right away and picked up some Safer's 3 in 1. Followed the directions, but alas...they have taken their toll on my last completely green plant, Kiki. She's no longer all green- I can see she's dying quickly. I'm devastated by all of this- reason why I haven't been around here lately.. but at the end of this week I'm going to order some real seeds and start all over again (the only way my bf could get me to stop being sad bout this was to promise to buy me whatever seeds I wanted and an 8th of weed. LOL)... it makes me really sad that I never got to make it to the end of this grow, but I learned a lot of things and think I have a much better idea of what the babies need. (And what products I want for them) So, today is the final day for this grow, I'm going to dispose of them today.

Lessons learned and things I will do different/ before the next grow.
1. Fuck MG Organic soil, my babies are starting out right away in Black Gold Organic and they will be in bigger cups.
2. The lights will be set up so they can never fall before I even germ seeds.
3. Check the moisture meter before I ever think about watering.
4. I will fog out the room (and prolly the whole house because of my paranoid ass) to make sure bugs are not a problem from the beginning.
5. If growing good strong healthy marijuana plants was easy, everyone would do it. This takes a lot of time and patience. And the ability to forgive yourself when you fuck up royally.

So here's the final tally, how each plant died.
Carlton: The first to go, I think his stunted growth from the beginning was my overwatering early on.
Bee: Devastated when a 42 watt cfl fell right on top of it.
Sexy Mama: Hit by a fallen light also, though not as badly as Bee. It would seem the stem on Sexy Mama was dried out and killed by the lights. As the days went by the other leaves began to droop and die.
Kiki: The fungus gnats I believe..

Anyways, any input is still appreciated as always....this is a sad sad day... anyone who wants to help me pick out a new strain of seeds can give me their opinions here... thanks again everyone for everything- but this grow has ended.. a new one will begin when I acquire new seeds.

Sorry to hear this, I know I'd be devastated if something would happen to my babies :/
Concerning the new strain, go for Jack Herer! Smoked it before and got some growing on now, the bastards grow bushy as heck, yield a lot, taste is heavenly as is the high.

Sorry to hear about your youngsters... =[

Life lessons learned...

Input... About paper towel germ... From what i can tell so far it has no real impact on the overall life if you are careful when planting the stress caused is very minimal... Actually out of the two planted direct soil and PT germed the PT seed is doing better...

I think this is because it stretched more at 1st and is now closer to the light...

If it does not kill YOU it will make you stronger... Goes for ppl and plants too... =]

Good luck with your next grow... Here is what i would like my next grow to be...

Short plants are lovable... yes no... ??
Or was that ppl... =]

Well, I was going threw the motions of throwing the babies away (safely of course) and I just couldn't kill Kiki. (Since she had some green leaves yet) So I transplanted her into a new pot and threw her back under the lights. The roots that lined the cup and were bright white and healthy looking. So I thought maybe her stunted growth and such was more related to being root bound than the bugs. I sprayed down the room and such before putting her back in there. I'm not expecting her to make it, but we will see over the next few days. Eh...it gives me something to do until I get some new seeds. <crosses fingers>

LOL..extort? oh i don't have to extort, he wanted me to pick out seeds for this first batch but I didn't wanna fuck up royally and feel bad about wasting money (thank god, I was right) I have no clue what strain- I mean, I've got a couple in mind, but I haven't made up my mind yet. Something mostly sativa and something you can't normally find grown here in the states. Any suggestions?

Sorry to hear about the disaster, I was getting excited as I was reading through your thread until this, that's a bummer but if Kiki still has green there's a lot of hope for her, please keep us posted on her status and your next attempt, I Love Journals!

no extortion? HA.

crying = blackmail
feminine wiles = cheating

crying + feminine wiles = extortion

i don't know about strains though...i'm more of an indica guy.

b4 u put ur new seeds in clean the whole room with bleach water. if u have a bad problem use a bug bomb like u were saying. but thoroughly cleaning the room with bleach water should do it.

im from the hypnotizea we quick to knock of ya blocka, blastin nothin but choppas nigga we non stoppas, whippin up this cream for me like betty crocker, the guts icy whitein, leather is what im likin, pull up chrome rims and holla she must be dykin, like she done see the colors change colors on my paint job, just like all them colors on my ice and on my wrist watch, pimp star nothin but some conversation bout some dough, slangin these birds out my mouth like im selllin snow, tellin no lies, compromise, on cheesewise. if you cross real killas then you must die.

Grapefruit is supposed to be awesome..I have been trying to get my hand on some seeds, seems most places are sold out. Its around 90% Sativa and it matures early for a sativa (around 8 weeks). Smells like grapefruit from what I gather. mmmmmmm

I'll wash the walls down with bleach water. Thanks for the idea.

Also, I'll look into the Grapefruit strain.

" crying = blackmail
feminine wiles = cheating

crying + feminine wiles = extortion"

Hey, that formula doesn't work for every woman.

Thanks for all the suggestions guys, btw Kiki looks just like she did yesterday- we'll just have to see.
