I'm confused yet excited

well as far as the Jobes organic sticks go i havent had problems with them yet.... but like i said yet. i use them up until a month untill flowering then i leech the soil 2 times before i put it into blooming. The horse manuer was fresh when i got it but then i let it set for about 4 days then i broke it up and mixed it into my soil. there was still hay clinging to it when i got it from my friends horse farm. As far as hunting i do but not this year. plus i love the way camoflauge looks now before when you were talking about greenfeild.. like Greenfeild NH?

oh another thing too.. my plant is almost 2 feet tall right now and im going to put it into flowering when its about 3 1/2ft to 4ft. well with my space i have my cultivation in, i was wondering will my 120W MH bulb (HID is the way to go... but i have a tight budget) will i produce good sized buds off my female? i know before i put it into flowering im going to transplant from my 3 gallon pot to a 5 gallon pot. so dont know if i should let it get bigger then 4 ft to get bigger buds.. but i need the pros for this one.:jointsmile:

i also removed my Jobs Organic Sticks.. just to tkae your advice.. but question.. that i just noticed my soil is already dry and i watered it yester day morning at 7 am and its dry already. i use a about a half gallon to a gallon of water everytime i water and i water every 4 days so that way it has a day to up the resin in the leaves for when its time to havest i can make cannabutter for my breakfast lunch and dinner and a couple of scobbie snacks for my Great Dane... he loves it just as much as i do.. if he dont smoke or eat my leaves, then he get's all mad at me.. ahahahah. so much for my hunting dog. ahahaha

Bad idea. Letting him eat the leaves can physically cause, at the least, an irritated stomach. (the hairs on the leaves are not digestable) And teaching him it's ok to eat the crop you've spent months pampering, isn't very smart in the first place. Also...getting him high is truly frowned uopn, and some even consider it animal abuse. At least you don't put him in a paper bag first...or do you...? :wtf:

About the watering...The larger the plant gets, the more water it uptakes and respirates. Living in the high desert I can water each plant up to a quart and a half daily during late-stage flowering. (3 gallon pots - summertime)

ll he does it on his own.. when i cut my leaves off he eats them on his own.. he doesnt throw up or get sick.. he gets more playful. he knows not to eat my plants but when i trim my buds and stuff he sits and whines and whines so i give him like 2 leaves (perferbly the smaller ones) and i dont get my dog high.. but its kinda hard when he sits on my bed and has his nose up to the bong. i try to stop him.. but he won't. and i give him a leaf or 2 every 4 months or so. and the scobbie snacks are for me

plus moving a 200 pound dog off your bed isnt easy either

Yeah tell me about it, my bulldog is only 65 pounds and she's STILL a moose. I had problems with my old bully/boxer cross thinking it was okay to eat plants and had to keep her well away from my crops. I even considered hot pepper wax meant to keep deer away, haha!
Nah there's a farm supply in Greenfield MA that's good.
Horse manure is going to be problematic. There's 3 problems:
1- seeds. You may well find grass growing in your pots, lol!
2- pests.
3- Nitrogen too 'available'- fresh manure can easily burn plants. It shoudl be composted very well before use. Sitting in a compost heap that's watered, turned, and even inoculated with compost bacteria for at least a winter is ideal. Then you turn it onto a big BLACK tarp, fold it into a packet, and let it BAKE in hot sun for a couple weeks to kill bugs and pests. For indoor use, the bagged composts are a less troublesome product. Watch your plants for signs of N overdose as the roots reach the manure in those pots and be prepared to flush them really well.

farmer friends have always told me horse manure is the 'hottest' of manures, not used for crops ... :smokin:

thanks guys.. well the other part of my question that hasn't gotten answered yet. for my grow space for my flowering which is 17" L x 24" wide x 48" H (modified my grow room a bit) will my 120w MH blub be good enough on my female?

[stinkyattic]

You've got about the right watts for that space but the wrong type of light. You want a HPS for flowering to optimize bud mass and density.
