Comes a Time, First Grow, Please Step Inside -- 2000 watt Sour Diesel

In my past comment, I meant how does it work out for you for growing your mother, and then cloning? Do you have seperate lights for the clones or that's it? Sorry, forgot to add I'm talking about clones in the last post, I'm stooned.

Looks like you have the clones under the flouros, where is mom?

I have grown out mothers under 6x23 W CFL's, but my 175 MH works better and IMO the T5's are probably the best way to go. As far as your plants looking hungry even when the SunShine is still moist, you may have low humitity in the room, maybe trying to sit a pale of water in there for a few days and see how they act, or try misting them with a spray bottle for about a week and see how they react.
Well, wify is trying to get me to bed, and a happy home is pretty important to me, so Adieu

Thanks BlueBear! Okay here comes a real stupid question folks. I am using SunShine#4 which is hydro, but it looks just like soil. I am hand watering them. I use Supernatural Gro Terra for vegetative nutes. I have a quick question here. On the nutes it says, "For organic soils: Use up to double strength. Apply every 2-3 weeks depending on rate of growth and fertility of soil." Now, I thought the guys at the store told me to only use this every 7-10 days with the SunShine#4, but I am getting the feeling it should be used every time I water, does anyone know? I used about 1/2 the reccomended dose for small plants, just to be sure. But, should I be using the mixture with the Supernatural in it everytime I water? A quick reply would be great as I think I've been doing this wrong.

Answered my own question, just gave a hydro store a call - they said to give the plants the SuperNatural just about everytime they get watered, and to salt leach every other week to prevent nutrient lock out. Thanks gang! More pictures by the weekends completion....

i cloned my mothers to no return. thats why there are none left. check out theese pics though! flouros work!

MJ looses 99% of the water it drinks through its leaves.. TRANSPIRATION

Transpiration accounts for approximately 10% of all evaporating water on planet earth.... AMAZING

2 - 1000 watt bulbs - YUMMY!!!

Yeah, I will try putting some buckets of water in there, we will see how that works. Just makes knowing when they need water a little bit more challenging. I am giving them about a cup over the course of 24 hours, sometimes 1/2 a cup and then 1/2 cup 12 hours later, sometimes a full cup right in the AM. Seems to be working thus far. Have their nutrients up to 320PPM. How long should I wait until they receive the full dose of nutrients? The box of nutes says 700PPM, 350PPM for young plants. I will bring it up to 400 when I water them tomorrow I think.

hey razz just bring up the ppms up just every time you feed them. Using the sunshine #4 mix only can be tricky because you cant geuss on how much to feed them. The next time you transplant Im just saying mix some wormcasting and find some potting soil with a low npk # and you wont have to water or feed as much as you are doing. If you want fast results next time try doing a DWC hydro grow thats what you want to be doing the resulst I get are great.:rasta: :pimp:

Not exactly sure what a DWC hydro grow is... will look into it. My friend uses straight SunShine#4 and is having great results, I was planning to keep it that way, though I am needing to water them quite a bit. I suppose a little bit of potty soil could be mixed in with the SunShine#4 just to make the mix retain water better. The good thing about Sunshine (as I believe, and was also told this by the friend who gets great results) is that it's very hard to give the plant too much water, the sunshine will breathe very nicely. So giving them some extra water on a less frequent basis becomes less of a problem. I will def. consider what you said about putting some potting soil in there, thanks. What is npk by the way?
