"Haven't started nutes yet. The potting soil I am using has heat released nutes that are supposed to last 9 months. The analysis of the potting soil is 10-8-6. One of my friends gave me some Plant food spikes that run 6-12-6. I plan on using the spikes when I start flowering them. Hopefully, that will be enough for some good healthy bud. I don't have the funds to buy all that fancy Fox Farm nutes or the like."
Try this stuff.

I was reading and found that one can make growth hormone soup from willow twigs. This is very intriguing to me. I had been wondering where they get that stuff.
After reading about Willow Twig Growth Hormone (WTGH) I thought, "What if someone watered their plants with WTGH water the whole veg cycle". Logic would seem to dictate that if there is a lot of growth hormone in the willow twigs, the willow was using it to help grow. Perhaps the WTGH running through the cannabis veins, this would help it grow too. But then again, maybe not. Some times logic runs counterintuitive.

12" huh. So when a plant gets to 12" tall that is like a minimum to start flowering? I was going kind of arbitrary when picking a time to start that. I recon waiting till they are a minimum height would be better.
What is the shortest plant any of you have put to flower? I have one that is 4.5" tall, and growing very slowly. I think it was water shocked early on. I had a hard time getting used to that darn moisture control potting soil. I'll never use that again. Anyway, I have been thinking of reducing its light to 12/12 just for the heck of it, just to see what happens.

Maybe it would be a good idea for new growers to sprout a lot of seeds and put them through abuse. Then the new grower can see first hand the results of things like over watering, nute burn and other things. Then forever they will know from experience what to look for in the future.

The new setup looks good, mon, tho the others are right that it is a leeeeetle early to tell whether it's a Sativa or Indica, tho I would opine it looks indica-y... Are you working on a new 'label' for it yet? ;)
If you want a rough rule-o-thumb calculation as to whether or not you have 'enough' light, 7,000 to 10,000 lumens per square foot is apparently what 'pro' growers aim for. If you're growing in a 2 square foot area, you should still be ok, just keep 'em tight to the lights (as close as you can without burning 'em--should be like 1.5" to 3" max.
As far as nutrients go, I am currently using Dutch Nutrient Formula (ironically made here in Mississauga, Ontario) as my base nutes, which is one of the really good deals out there (imho). A two-bottle set of either their Gro or Bloom nutes runs about 20bux Canadian, tho my bud @ Grown Hydro in downtown TO usually charges me like 18 :) I am nearly through my first grow, and have only used about 1/6 bottle of the Gro set...
[now, if the bottle of Kushie Kush I have on order would just get here...! Mehupe!]
Three days growth difference in the "indica maybe" plant.
Haven't come up with one yet, except the name "Dank Bastard". I have to wait though. Even though I know it is a bastard, I don't know if it is dank. :DQuote:

Seems the true ATF has been breed into obscurity, but yet people will claim their product to be that. :wtf3:
Also people seem to be complaining around about hybrids that are really not. Also people calling everything under the sun Kush, when they have no idea if it originated in the Kush mountains.
I think some people pick names because they think the name sounds "cool". Others pick a name thinking they know the genetic heritage. Then others pick a name to be deceptive. :gunfighter2:
I have yet to come up with a standard when it comes to naming. With the current state of things, that may be a very hard thing to do, if not imposable. :(
It would be good to have a naming standard that would faithfully represent the origin and genetics of the product. If this would happen, consumers would have a better idea of what they are really getting, and if it would be of use for their condition. :thumbsup:
Maybe a new thread should be started to discuss this topic.
...that I'm allowed to call my girls whatever the hell I want ;)
I agree with you about some of (lots of!) the 'false hype'... like calling some nasty piece of ditchweed that you may have decently grown "______ Kush" [fill in the blank with your own appelation]...
I plan on naming all of my main mother plants according to their characteristics, but of course keeping some part of their label/lineage... "Purple Kush grown by (c)C"... and if I get any 'new' crosses between my lovely (TRUE!) PK ladies and the Widow/Mr.Freeze/Rainbow I'm growing, or the other strains I'm going to try in a bit*, I /will/ probably try to name them with an appropriate hybrid-name.
But if I git somethin' unique, it will get its own 'outta the blue' name...
I love gardening with this particular plant... :)

* For those interested, I have acquired exactly three Nirvana WhiteWidow seeds, one Jack's Haze (CanadianSeedBank), one White Rhino (DutchPassion, iirc), and three Kali Mist (can't remember bank, but is a reputable one)... gonna git'em /all/ to sprout, and all girls too. Hoping to have some of /all/ of these in my next, or next-next garden... ;)
Here's an idea.
