alright its like this.
Today I got my mylar, FINALLY. Its hung ready to go, check the pics.
Also, Ive got some organics. Seabird Guano
High Nitrogen, All natural, organic fertilizer. 11-13-3.
Instructions say for small young plants, a tablespoon per gallon, my plants are almost three weeks old, so Im going to start with a tablespoon per gall, and then slowly increase maybe per week??
Whats the deal with organics.. do you need to flush?
Can someone help me a little bit, and give me comments on my room now..
thanks..

Looks pretty good, it's always a good idea to flush your soil every couple weeks,whether you're using organix or chems. This just ensurres that any nasty buildup gets removed. Are you planning on repotting? Those lil 1 gal pots are nice for a while, but pretty soon your plants will get top heavy and need to be supported. Plus they inhibit root growth after a while. I'd reccomed getting a coupld 5 gal pots or even 10 gal buckets. If you decide to go this route, get some worm castings and mix them in with the soil, that'll help soften the transition and help feed your plant during flowering, when you should use minimal ferts, except a bloom fert that is.

Peas out

Ok.. yeah I do plan to repot, not exactly sure when though, Im thinking after about a month..? Pots are going to be either 5 gallon pots, or these white large, I think 5 gallon buckets I have laying around, need to gather three though. as for that should I drill holes in the bottom of them?? Im thinking yes. But I may just get some regular large pots from the store and place them in the buckets, where they basically hang there, like that growalot dude did.. that makes sense. so you dont have to worry about water going all over the place..
and about water, Ive been watering until it runs out of bottom, is that how you go about it? Just curious, because the water still dries almost clear up within two days..

Im just plain fucking anxious. I dont know why but I have nothing better to do than post pictures and questions all the time.. heres another, couple days, maybe one, cant remember though.. after cropping.
Looking ok?

Sharing some information here. Considering a room has different temperatures at different times, would'nt that cause a plant to think it needs to protect its leaves, therfore, producing a coat of resin on the surface of its leaves?
I've heard that by "tricking" a plant into thinking it needs to coat them, helps your growth. makes sense right? the temperature is pretty hot at sometimes, but not enough to kill your plants, just enough to trick the plant... this is what Ive read.

Next week sometime I'm ordering a 125w compact floro. measures about 21" by 14.5" by 9". Comes like a HID lamp, only smaller.. HEHE.
The output in lumens is roughly 6800. I'm going to set up another area so I can move those plants out of there for maybe a couple weeks, I want the light to be closer than that.. it cant be right now, the ro0m is small, so the heat just stays right under the hood. (Its like foot 1/2 above them now!) After the plants get at least 12 to maybe 24" Ill move them back to HID, I think its to much for them.
The heat will be greatly reduced because the lamp will be higher. More air can flow UNDER the light, and the fan will do its job a lot better.
