so um yeah..
im planting as we speak. i just bout a huge bag (only size they had dammit) of pearlite. bout a new little bag of soil. my last little round of plants (kept 2 of them goin) i was having probs with the soil staying moist making my girls all droopy. no more will this plague me for i have enough pearlite to fill my garbage can and grow in there if i want. :D i also bought this soil. its for potting cactus indoors. caught my eye because it said great airation. thats the stuff. i bought another clay pot same size as the other bout 8in across and 6 or so deep. got another pot from earlier, bout 5 or so across and 5 or so deep. i also have 2 approx 3in by 3in little tupperware bowls. the 2 pots i spoke of before were filled up on the bottom with pearlite, the big one about 3in and the other around 2 or so. i then mixed in pearlite with the soil, im going for drainage i dont mind having to water often due to that i would rather water than have little droopy sad plants again.:( i have two small plants left from before, im going to leave them be and continue to water when needed till they grow or die. now the new ones... i germinated a bunch of seeds, the idea is to not have to transplant them like before and see how they do. i have a bunch of 100watt (equivelent) cfls, 4 going in the space right now. i need to get some more clamps to add some. anyways, this is my second, really kinda contiuation of my first grow, im trying to learn by experience as well as from reading (wich has been keeping me up at night, im literally on 18-6 like my plants rofl ive been up to turn the light on and off for them myself without timers for bout a week)
the soil says contains organic matter, other than whatever that is (it doesnt specify) i wont give these new plants any nutes at all no food.
be back in a few ill put up some pics im gonna go plant these little girls (<--- be girls dammit!! ):stoned: :dance:
