Mrs. Greenjeans' first ever grow

[Chronic Chrissy]

Hello, I'm still pretty new and about to start my first grow, so I just wanted to tell you that your log has helped me quite a bit. It's nice to be able to see what sorts of problems I might be up against. I bought the Ready Set Grow video from HighTimes, and while it does help it still leaves out quite a bit, especially in the trouble shooting department. Knowing that there is always a chance of aphids or spider mites, suddenly the problem I have with keeping lady bugs out of my house seems like it might actually be to my advantage for once. "Ok girls, you can stay but you better be on constant patrol!" The info you posted on exhaust fans and filters has been most helpful, thank you. I think the hardest part is going to be screwing up my courage to cut the hole in the ceiling and into the attic so I can patch in to the existing duct.

I'll take all your lady bugs!

Im glad your plants are recovering, told you they would pull though but I know how it is when ur babies get colds parents panic. Did you sing to them as I suggested . lol

Hey greenjeans what do you see for your next grow? I think next time we'll get those buds so big you'll have to prop up your plants, I'll help you out with that now that you have the hps

I don't know if this would work for you but what is the PH of melted snow. Here in Vegas we don't have a snow problem, but the water is attrocious. I have a pure water store less than a mile from my house that sells water for 16 cents a gallon. I have a pool, so I have an abundance of empty 5 gallon chlorine buckets. rinsed them out real good and trucked on down to the store. the guy wanted to know if I was going to drink that water, I said no, they were for my aquariums. So, now, every other week I truck on down and fill up the 2 buckets and it lasts for the 2 weeks between changes. I have 4 bubbler stones in my bubbler so the oxygen level is up there. They are growing at an alarming rate. I'll try and post a couple of pics for ya. tomorrow, as it's lights out now.

Hi Mrs. G- So glad you are back, and hope the move is progressing well. It is hard when you have fussy, leafy kids to lug around! :weedpoke:

So...spill. Did you meet up with Stinky and the Yeag (Pinky and the Brain) I'm stoned. That made sense to me.

Thank you for the good vibes. That smiley is one of my faves. I saw some orchids at Home DePOT t'other day, which made me think of you. I nearly bought one, then I changed my mind, cuz I was worried I'd accidentally kill it what with all the moving and such. So, next time.

Hello, I'm still pretty new and about to start my first grow, so I just wanted to tell you that your log has helped me quite a bit. Thank you. That's a really nice thing to say. If nothing else, I can serve as a stunning example of what NOT to do LOL!It's nice to be able to see what sorts of problems I might be up against.

Lady Bugs rock. I actually had the opposite problem one year..I didn't have enough ladybugs. I had to buy them! Crazy eh?

It's only drywall. Cut it! Wo0t! It's easy to fix if you mess it up. I can walk you through it. Go between studs so you don't cut any wires or plumbing. Post a picture of your proposed space, draw my attention to it, and we'll go from there.
