The God Bud still looks like crap and the Purple Kush is still smaller than most starters you can get so I have to wonder about genetics.
The lime is taking off and the headband seems ok too.
Today I'm off to a local supplier to pick up some fox farm ocean blend and give up on going super cheap with bad results.
well cheap soil ill still work you just need to invest in some perlite to mix in with the soil try putting some in the bottem of the pots to before ya add soil if you cant get perlite you can just put like some pea gavel in the bottem and that will hep with your drainage probs
StickyBuds1987 Reviewed by StickyBuds1987 on . EBG Log for 2010 I've learned a few things as I've been around the block once. Hopefully this year I can prevent some of my problems by following my own rules. I think patience is the biggest asset a grower has. This year I'm growing Lime, 707 Headband, God Bud, and Purple Kush. I started on 6/1 and so far I haven't killed any plants but they do look a little stressed from going from indoor to outdoor. I was seeing some very happy ladies reaching up for light and then put them in the sunlight too long Rating: 5
