okay, where to start. on 3/1 i started 36 hours of darkness. well i forgot to start the lights again and didn't check on the ladies until 3/8! the tops were dead so i chopped them all off. the plants did survive though! so i nursed them back to health.

i must say that molasses is amazing! everytime i hit them with it they flourish and get tons of new growth! i'm gonna experiment with it some, but i have a feeling that it will work in veg too!

sorry for the tangent, back to what's at hand here.

once they got healthy, ~3/11 i started 36 hours of darkness again. yesterday i transplanted a few that were rootbound. i need to pick up some square pots. i'm currently using homemade 2-liter bottle pots. i mean they work fine, i just think the shape will work better for my space requirements.

i'll get a few pics up in a bit.

i still have plans on getting the fox farm trio for hydro (with a bottle of the soil one too). also the soluble tri-pack as well. but we had some fradulent charges on our bank account and then friday was my wifes birthday (and she got a $300 stand mixer!). so once the money is right i will be ordering them.

and the big box in my corner is gonna be put into service soon. it is 45.4" x 21" x 24". this will be the flower box. i am gonna go with a sea of green, perpetual harvest. i hope to yield 1/2 LB every two weeks by pulling 8 plants at 30 g's per. i think this is very doable, and i should probably get more once everything is dialed in. i want to go with a dro system . it's time to get my roots wet! i was thinking of using two of those underbed storage boxes. one in the box as a flood tray and one underneath as a res. sound feasible? i'm open to suggestions. i'll probably slowly start getting it ready for use while this current crop is finishing. just take me time with it.

i also have a box that is 18" x 18" x 23 1/4" for a clone/mother setup. i'll be using a bubble cloner and probably, eventually (with more experience and better genetics) some bonsai moms.

i think that pretty much sums everything up for now. i'm glad to be back. thanks for everyone staying with me during my hiatus!
