it's funny that you've said that, jakezking. I'm jonesin' to buy this 400 watt metal halide ballast kit.

I already have this 400 Watt M-59 MH bulb.



I had alot of strains that I had purchased 4 or 5 years ago that I guess were improperly stored. their germination rate has greatly declined, which is why I'm having to order new seeds.

here's a quick update. it seems they're starting to grow a little faster now. another one fell over today, this time an AK-48. I fixed it by putting more soil around the stem and compacting it (without using the copper wire this time). I hope to get them all outside in the next few weeks.




my White Skunk seeds will probably arrive Tuesday. I might get more Original Haze x Skunk #1 freebies as it has not been too long since I've last ordered, but who knows. they're looking pretty fine though (they're the 2 in the clay pots). can't guarantee they'll finish outdoors around here, but they were free, so what the heck.

as for ferts, I'm leaning towards trying the new General Hydroponics BioBizz line, specifically Fish-Mix, Bio-Grow, and Bio-Bloom.

another update to come later in the week. :rastasmoke:
