don't get down on yourself LSY. think about when you first started growing. you've come along way. outdoors, you didn't have as many variables; indoors you do. don't fret though, i know ya've got it in your bones you ol' bonai growing SOB!
you've got the genetics. TAKE CLONES! worry about getting some good dirt. it doesn't have to be expensive, just quality. MG will work fine, or shutlz or any other brand you can find locally.
then just keep adding pieces to your grow. you will get there. don't worry about the HPS for now. do your thing with the CFLs. like i said, i should be getting a new t-5 rig soon for veg, so i will have a franken-light for CFLs sitting around with no use. (hint, hint!) also, i have recently switched nutes. i happen to have some fox farm stuff that i probably won't be using anymore. it's mostly just the soluble powders, which can be used as standalones. you should be able to pick up the liquids for not that much if you decided to/can. whadya think? BTW, i'm not sending soil, that shit is way too heavy to ship!!!
keep ya chin up.

Yeah Shake you are right, I jumped in without being ready. Most of my issue's were due this mistake. I can try and collect materials this summer for next go around. Also, need to make a grow box. I need to take care of them and not rely on someone else to do what i say. They really don't understand and the plants pay for it. I gotta say though that the fert added soil is doing me ok, not that i would use it again. But if a person just doesnt add nutes to it and for the most part, keep em dry, its been ok:thumbsup:. But watering to much activates the nutes added, then ya have a Ph problem. Not that iv checked the Ph, but no real signs; tell tail issues for me to think there was any Ph problems. But as next year comes, i hope to get what i need before gemming any beans. Lesson learned:thumbsup:. When 2 people who started at about the same time, have basically the same sort of set up and are curing now and looks like i have a month or so to go can be discouraging. But, i do have confidence for outdoor methods. You, irydyum, Italiano, psych and so many others gave me the basics to understand how the plant grows outside:) I thought i could take this indoors, but like you said, there are different variables to deal with indoors. But, with the lesson learned, i believe with the supplies needed and a place where i can get to, i would be good to go next go-around:thumbsup:Quote:

Not a lot of them, at least on this site, but there are a few. Thats why i stay here and can count on finding information and if i cant, there is almost always someone out there who will help and you have been a constant, which i appreciate:thumbsup:
Oh and yeah, im not afraid of using left-over goods for sure. I have seen what they have done for you, so using equipment you've used would be like a confident kick:thumbsup: Also, id like to say its very kind of you Shake:thumbsup: iv always said your a good dude but this is just overwhelming to think of the monsters you got with that equipment. LOL ,No excuses then, geez i would feel like the expectation's would be way high:jointsmile: OH and i found that funny; can ya see the mail dude tryin to get a bail of soil in my box, lol yeah i know that wouldnt happen, but when i read your post, it was the first thing that came to mind. My step-dad has made his own soil for over 20 years. I have great soil here, so i thought about baking some up and start a compost pile. Just as a base, then add to it. This land was never farmed, it only ever had cattle on it. Makes for great outdoor grows:thumbsup:
Thanks Shake:hippy:
:rasta:
Well till i get better pics, this is whats going on so far:thumbsup:
I think these are the Skunk, or Haze plants, i know the 2nd is because the pot is to small, which made the leaves really small at about the middle of the plant. Reminds me of how a bonsai is created, with the leaves growing to the size of the pot. If any, i think the buds will be very small, but hoping dense and good shit:hippy: Just noticed that 1st is Edna:thumbsup:
Sorry about quality of the pics, iv been told that il get better ones in the next couple of days:rasta:
looking really good LSY!

well as long as you give em the right lumens then they will be fu*king huge..
plant that big HAS to have big buds.. IMO

Last pic and 2nd plant Edna, i didn't brake root ball up, but just a tad to plant. Plant in same pic on left is Skunk 1/Haze 5.
First is Edna i broke up root ball and put into pot. See the difference. The bigger one i didn't brake up the root ball.
Middle is Edna top.
I did this on purpose, for experiment and wow, big difference:thumbsup:
:rasta:
Here are the genetics for Edna :hippy:
Edna male(Durban, Afghani, Skunk & an unknown Sativa) pollenated a
BR1947= Blueberry x White Rhino and Peak19 x AK-47. The BR1947 was a cross of Blueberry male & White Rhino female which pollenated the
Peak19xAK47 female. I really want to try this in the ground for sure, the two were planted 2 weeks after the others, but out growing them all.
But with issues its not easy to say whats better, because i think the genetics of each seed is different, so one could have a better survival mode in the genetics of the seed?
Also, i thing that i have Haze #5, only because of the smell. It could be the cross, but my money is on the Haze #5. I guess we will find out in a year or so, when their done :cool:
:rasta:
Well there is 4 23w 27k lights added, so this puts watts at 278. From a thread i read this puts the lumens at 19,432.2 @69.9 lumens per watt if im correct here:hippy:
So with crappy pics again, sorry, this is whats going on:thumbsup:

They look very healthy and appetizing. You should be able to get at least a couple ozs. This time just don't be so generous.
