Hmm, thats weird.. doesnt say how to mix into how much water.. I guess i would take the longer side as the pots 'diameter'. So if it were 6 inches long, I would put 2tsp in how ever much water it takes to get some runoff
Not sure if I want to re-nute now since I've been giving hot loads for the past week!!! Think I am gonna go with my gut feeling & let it chill... Then re-nute in a couple days then follow the schedule!?
Ya that sounds good, I was just givin a possible way to feed, not necessarily to use now.
Just watch her, she'll let ya know when she needs somethin :thumbsup:
Thanks bro:
Again, just from my knowledge of growing vegetables outdoors & putting them on a nute schedule I can extrapolate & make a decent guess as to when the time is right. To be honest this grow poses one of my greatest challenges... even greater than university .. but definitely not greater than raising my son or my 2 finicky azz cats.
Guys:
Made some "PH" paper using red cabbage & coffee filters. just to give me an idea as to where I am. They look ok... kinda no change from y'day which is a good thing. Will test later in the day as I'm waiting for the "PH" paper to absorb the juice.
Never heard of that method. If you ever have an extra 20 bucks laying around i would highly recommend the Milwaukee ph 600. It will take all the guess work out of it. pH 600 Milwaukee Digital pH600 Meter/Tester/Pocket/Pen | eBayQuote:

Total for the items 61.60...Free Ship. Ya think that I should cave & stop guessing about my soil. This will be an on going dillyo so give me the ok & i'll go for it. Ahhhh,,, 1 more thingy. Your were talking about a "MH" light... correct.... which one did you recommend? Don't wanna search through all of the threads. Thanks bro!
"HPS" 400W?
your doing 4 ww so its 100w per plant so i think 400w should be ok but for hps get bigger grow room mate
I think the FF trio is great. Are you gonna go hydro next grow? If thats a misprint i would get the FF SOIL nutes if youre planning on staying in dirt.Quote:

BTW if you get a hps or mh be sure to order an extra bulb. :thumbsup:
K:
Found them.... So you know the size of my closet. Will the 400W MH or HPS do the trick? Hear good things about both systems. Also, the FF nutes are apparently tried & tested & yea... Soil... You mean
"Grow Big" correct?
400 mh for veg and hps for flower. Two different bulbs. If you can only afford one id go with the hps. Hps is not the best color spectrum for veg but itll work good. It will work great for that area but you have to keep in mind that they put out alot of heat so youre gonna have to figure out a way to keep the temps under control. Whether it be to run ducting and an inline fan or something to that nature. HPS runs cooler temps vs MH but they both still generate alot of heat. Alot of things to consider when upgrading.Quote:

Grow cheap, get cheap bud. Get a PH meter man, its the only instrument I use, plus you can use it in hydro if you ever chose to :thumbsup:
-I like the red Hannah meter.
Yes, Make sure to get 'soil' specific nutes.
--Not even close.Quote:

FF Trio = Grow big, Tiger Bloom, Big Bloom
-Yes you will need to look into ventilation and fans with an HPS.
You'd be good with a 250w Hps = 29,000 LumensQuote:

A ton to consider. Need to sleep on it. Thanx gents
Hey guys:
Couldn't post in the last few days. Issues with the forum!!! Problems uploaded pics today as well. Who knows. I did in fact order the "Fox Farm" Trio.... plus the "PH" Meter.... Should arrive by Friday. In the meantime my babies appear pretty healthy after the flush.... Been EXTREMELY cautious & only fed once since the burn. Any expertise to shell out.
Cheers

Bro:
I have some new pics & they are probably 50% bushier!! Gonna wait for Smoke/Pushit to give me a heads up. No disrespect but judging from some recent advice I will remain cautious. I would post the pics but there is a problem with the server & it will not allow me to post my jpeg's!! Btw... like 7 nodes....
Cheers
Bro:
Up to like 6-7 nodes. They got REAL BUSHY since my last post. Unfortunately the site was acting bizzaro for a few days & wouldn't allow me access to the site? So. since my last post the babies are young adults & up to like 6-7 nodes. Again this frigg'n site will not allow me to post pics soooooo... Will try to post later today so maybe you will have an idea as to where I stand. One more thingy.... ordered the Fox Farm trio pack & "PH" tester that you recommended . Should receive by Friday/Sat. so at least I'm using tried/true nutes
if you look in the lighting section it will still tell you every grow site will say this take advice or not dont bother me just stating what has been said for many years by every grower new or old.
try uploading the picture to a image hoster as this site will not be fixed for a few more weeks due to bad coding.
im just looking in anyway hope your buds will grow right
appreciated
Guys:
The pic server is down.... matter of fact the whole sys is in bad shape so I just used
"Dropbox to export. So tell me if they appear ok? Thanx again. Oh, btw.... My pepper crop was frigg'n ENORMOUS... I'm thinking about concocting a hot sauce. This is just 1 bag...Have like 2 more bags!! Had to give a bunch away to the neighbors. If they only knew. lmao

Boards are down again...
Great to hear they're better Este!
-ONCE AGAIN, DONT LISTEN TO whitetop
Truly:
Why is HE trying to sabotage my grow?
Bro:
I see that a name appears but again I'm outside of the states but with that said is there any way to delete this..... I looked but find it kinda impossible?
Because of posts like these:Quote:

Thanks

-Tons of Advanced/Experienced growers, who actually give correct advice
--beware tho, ppl like whitetop(ppl who dont know what they're talkin bout) will get called out way worse than what I did :thumbsup:
K:
Gonna ask u again & I know that I'm being a tad redundant but with all of the info/disinformation please tell me that I can feed today. There are approx. 7-9 nodes depending on which plant! They were given H20 y'day & fed 1/4 strength maybe 2.5 days prior & took to the feed very well! Again I know that you went over all of this & I sound frigg'n ridiculous BUT please tell me (sans pics) that I can feed today? Thanx. Btw... They are kinda dry!
Actually found your post concerning the feed schedule. Did feed 'em but kinda light. Didn't want to make the same mistake. Just waiting on the "FF" so I can feed properly & get halfway decent results.
All is Good
Transplanted the better lookin plant. Hows your girls doin?
[attachment=o278319]
--also, I found whitetop on his 'grail' thc website... lol, He asked the exact same questions he did here.. with the same answers.
what True Grower would seriously ask if the little CFLs need a ballast..
Here's his quote from a few days ago tryn to help a hydro grower........
Woooow:mad:Quote:
... it may work but if you took the plant out of the water hor few hours and let the roots dry and get some air will that get the plant going again as its dyeing but not dead?
Oh well;
Fyi.... Contacted the moderator cuz his comments were a bit inappropriate. Feel for him. Think he's lost his way? Bro.... again, the babies are no longer that. remember I lifted the lights like 1.5 feet? Well, they have reached 'em! Wish I could shoot some jpeg's but this site is a bit slow to fix problems!
Saw the pic... SWEET... My kids are the same height! How didya pull up the jpeg?
hah, it worked?Quote:
