lovely ladies!

[Clever Swine]

well it seems like you could help me a lot with my plans. How much more bud you reckon your gonna yield then? How long have you been perfecting this method?

[justaseed]

i use the same feeding program when i grow from seed, i just don't start feeding till week 2 or so. i start in 16oz keg cups to 5 1/2 square pots to 1 gal grow bags to 3 gal grow bags to 5 gal grow bags or buckets. remember that feeding schedule isn't written in stone. i adjust it as necessary depending on what the plants are "telling me" you gotta listen to your ladies all the time or they get really bitchy, trust me!

i am hoping to eventually pull a lb from my 400hps. 12-14oz is what i am hoping for currently. scrog is really easy! when i say you have to learn how a strain will react to the screen i'm talking 2-3 grows with that strain and should have it down. it's the rest of the growing process that takes years to perfect. i have been growing for almost a year and scroggin' since my 2nd grow. i have 1 veg and 3 flower chambers so i get 3 harvests every 2 months!

S,

GREAT! I am completely speechless. Your grow is kickin ass! I will reply to your message on my thread in a sec, but i wanted to stop by and see how things were going first. I AM AMAZED! Hope all goes well during the last few weeks. Do you have a set date you will chop, or do you just watch and take it day by day?

thanks guys! i think harvest should be around march 7 but, as you said ss, i'll will watch them closely and keep checking the trichs with the magnifyer daily to make the final decision.

oh yeah i just replaced the old bulb with a new one it is the same bulb eyehortilux 400hps. only $55 and they shipped it pretty quick, here is the place. i've ordered from them a few times.

i get a prepayed credit card at cvs for internet orders.
the last bulb was really old(over a year) and it seemed to be getting hotter. i could be wrong but it just seemed that i couldn't get it as close to the tops the last 2 grows, especially the last month. anyone else ever notice this?

So with the cloner, do you have the stems in the water, or above?

[SittinStoney420]

Also whats your soil mix for the clones, and then the pots right after cloning?

[justaseed]

it really doesn't matter if the stems are in the water or not. they root either way in about the same time.

i use promix mixed with 1/3 perlite and 1 1/2 tbsp dolimitic lime per gallon of soilmix. the lime is absolutely necessary! promix is peat based so the ph is way to low for mj without the lime. that is the same soilmix i use all the way through flowering. make sure you get dolimitic(dolimite) lime, they also sell hydrated lime which is much stronger and easy to overdose!

Thanks man, just took a trip to the toy store.

I got the FoxFarm Triple Set, Big bloom, tiger bloom, and grow big.
And instead of liquid karma, or thrive alive red, i got Super Thrive.
As you said, im not going to completely mimic you, just use your grow as a basic foundation, and add a few of my own ideas. What do you think for the nutes? Would it still be a good idea to grab Liquid Karma?

I also got a humidity dome, peat pellots, and Rootone powder for cloning.

Decided to try that instead of the bubbler.

the liquid karma is like a catalyst that "jumpstarts" the organic ferts, at least that is a very simplified way of saying it.

alot of people use super thrive so it must be pretty good.

i can tell you 1 prob your gonna have with the ferts already, well not really a problem. i bought the ff three pack as well on my 1st grow. the thing is the grow big and tiger bloom are not totally organic so it doesn't take much. the big bloom on the other hand is 100% organic so the proper dose is much bigger. you will run out of big bloom well before the others. i had to go back to the store 3/4 of the way through the grow and buy the 1 gal jug of big bloom. not a big worry, just givin' you the heads up. i have since bought gal jugs of all the ferts.
