On another note:

My seeds from Dr. Chronic came yesterday.....which was only 6 days from the night i ordered them including the weeking...he sent shipping conf. on Friday so they took 3 days to get here....Some where in the US....

Awesome progress! Nice to see the ladies in new homes, they will DEFNITELY appreciate more space.

Congrats on the arrival of a 'named' strain. I am hoping this ONE Bubba Kush seed one of my buds had will be fem. Beyond that I will not be purchasing any named seeds until this Venture goes well. Meaning, I am harvesting.

Looking good though dude. Keep it Growing!

Well i woke up this morning and looked at the babies they all seem to be liking their new homes......they are still a little saggy but i think the soil is the way to go......i only feed them 4 oz of water yesterday which i dont think was enough we will see.....I also misted the soil as i mixed it to make sure it was moist..(only 5-6 sprays per container).....

On another note....the reason i think the soil and ph is going to work......The plants i place outside i drenched in the remaining water.....Almost flushing the plants once again....I just looked at those plants....And wow....They almost look perfect....I hope the ones indoor start to perk up like the ones outdoors....The outdoor plants almost look better than the indoor ones., which was the complete opposite yesterday before the transpant and the flush of the plants in the 1 gal pots....

I think i will water tommorrow, i plan on checking soil before i water just to make sure its dry first...

See You soon

PS.....All the plants seem to be getting their 3rd node at this time some are on node number 2 but all the plants seem to be growing more leaves between the nodes which i guess means their not dying

Well its been 2 weeks...im watering them again today before work 4oz was just not enough water.....tried 5 oz today got a good amount of runoff.....tested it 6.8....good

After work...went to the hydro store.....wow they have expanded....and most of the prices are close to ebay if not cheaper in some cases.....and they had everything...from grow tents...verticle cool tubes...every single thing ive been looking for the last 3 weeks....im not going to waste my time anymore at hd or loews.....straight to the hydro store from now on....thank god i left my wallet in the car.....could of easily walked out of there 3 grands poorer...But back to the log..

While i was at work i did a lot of reasearch on lst'ing so i thought i give it a try when i got home from work.....i know its early...but ive read you can start as early as the 3rd leaf set which most of mine have 5 at this time....

Here are the pics

Pic1: All the babies in their new homes...getting bigger
Pic2: Nice top shot of the growth
Pic3: This plant will now be refered to as "droopy" but not for long

Here are the two problem plants i have:

Pic1: "droopy" - But if you notice droopy from its pic on May 12...it has completely doubled in size in 4 days....Nice..

Pic2: Here is the plant i will call "the one are bandit" The result of bad newbie ph leveles or something.....i think it will pull threw.

Well i decided im going to try to lst the plants tonight......most seem big enough one might be too small but i will just LST it too, for uniformity....

Here are some pics on my first LST'ing attempt.

[killa12345]

Here are some pics after the LST'ing last night.....wow they really respond fast.....last night a lot of leaves were touching the soil after LST'ing.....this morning almost none are touching the soil....

PS i used metal hangers cut into piece for the LST'ing...I plan on trying to wrap it around the pot.

Enjoy the pics

Nice work with the altered hanger. Don't you love it when a plan comes together? I hope this LST'ing goes well for you. And 'Droopy' is hanging in there. Stems on the Droopster are showing signs of some type of trama/stress, other than that the Droopster is keeping it moving.

Good job killa12345!:thumbsup:
