Just a few questions from a new grower...
(1) I got bloodmeal to mix into my soil when I transplant right before flowering, but how can I use it before hand as a fertilizer? Tea? If so how? And I bought Miracle Grow Bloom Booster (10-52-10). How should I use this, and should I even use this?
I don't have much experience with Bloodmeal, but I would assume it would have been better to start them off in it, although I could be wrong. Another thing I would be careful of is when you transplant. You should transplant and then wait at least a week before triggering. This gives the roots time to establish themselves. Some people say this doesn't matter but I learned through experience that it does, at least with the strains that I have grown. Many people don't like Miracle Grow, but I have found it to be okay for budding. Veg is a different story. I prefer PH ballanced nutes that contain all your micro nutrients also. For bud though it should be fine.
(2) As to lights, I am currently vegging with a 65K 85w CFL bulb, and plan on adding 160w of 30K fluorescent tubes vertically when flowering begins. Is this adequate, and what kinda yield will it give me (assuming I get only 1 female)?
I am not a flourecent lover, but some people do okay with them. I would definitely add the extra lighting as soon as possible. I think you would do much better with a 250 watt HPS. The prices are good, but I understand when in school money is tight. Add the extra lights and you should be fine. Just don't veg too long as the light will not reach the bottoms and the size will just add extra time. If you only get one female you should be able to pull off an OZ. With a 250 watt you would most likely get double that. Okay, I know, I will stop pushing the HPS. I just know it would make you much happier, but enoughs enough.
(3) I am growing sensi-skunk from sensiseed bank. I have searched like every forum (here, yahooka, icmag, etc. etc.), and it seems like no one grows this strain? Does anyone know of anything I should do/watch for in this particular strain?
Sensi Skunk is a very forgiving plant. You will likely do very good with this strain as any skunk strain can take abuse (not to say you will abuse it). The only thing that might cause a problem is they can get quite tall, so you should clip the top shoots at about the second or third node. This will keep them short and bushy to an extent. Yeild is usually very good.
Well, I hope this helps a bit. If you have any other questions don't hesitate to ask. Good luck and chow for now!
