Fourth of July Crop

I have heard a few different opinions on when you should use root stimulator...

Do you use it as soon as the seedlings start to shoot up?

[Shovelhandle]

I've used the root stimulator to water in a plant when you transplant into the garden or transplant indoors.

The earliest I've used full strength organic fertilizer is at three weeks.
I usually use a 25-50% application of organic ferts at two weeks.
This time I thought that I'd try Superthrive (vitamins-mineral suppliment) and a light dosage of the root stimulator. Definately an experiment, and I sure hope I don't fuck up. :smokin:

I ordered a new 400W HPS system today. My previous grow logs have used T5HO and T8 flourescents. I figure I'll continue to use the four 4' lamp fixture with T5HO 3000K lamps for supplimental lighting during the flowering stage.

Cool on the larger light. I LOVE more light. :thumbsup:

Yup, more better light, more, better yeild.

I checked the soil PH yesterday and it was slightly acidic at 6.0. Pretty good, yes?

As the temperature with the six flourescent lamps went to 82-84º I started up the fan, which will also strengthen the stems.

I gave the plants their first dose of BC Tech nutes today (Boost, Grow, Red Thrive Alive).

I've got to gather up some medium sized pots. I plan on transplanting twice, first into the medium pots and 1-2 weeks before 12-12 I'll transplant into the large pots (some 3 gal, and some 5 or 6 gal).

I think these plants are looking great for being only into their third week! I fed again today with BC nutes and foliage feed with Thrive Alive Green.

sorry shov......she's such a fireball you have to move quick.

Well.....my diagnosis....alive.....and they to apprear to thrive. Yep.....stuff's working for you Sbov. :thumbsup:

...the plants. Set up a new 400 Watt MH with side lighting from a four lamp 4' T5HO flourescent. I set the MH at two feet over the plants, to start. The dozen pots took up roughly a 4' x 4' area. I set up a fan, thermostat and mylar relector sheets.

The dozen plants were transplanted into 3 gallon pots and watered in with 10-30-10.

Ill get some photos tomorrow, when the plants get a chance to "settle in some".
