that soil you're using, would it happen to be this:

i was wondering because that's what i'm using (obviously) and was told on another forum that it would kill my plants, but it def doesn't seem to be doing that to yours

[r00tdoctor]

Yes thats the soil im using , "Expert Gardener Perfect Mix" i find it to be good soil. It does have trace amounts of fertilizer in it 0.10%-0.08%-0.06% , but that dosent seem ta harm little plants one bit. If your worried about your seedlings getting to much fert to early you could put them in jiffy cubes or use some other substrate until there roots grow a little. Even with those trace amounts of fert you will still need to use regular grow/bloom ferts or you plants will suffer I would suggest starting using half strength fertilizer once the plant reaches the 4th node. I like the soil because its got the dolamite lime/perlite in it and its got a nice texture along with the great price ($2.50 a bag in the usa at my favorite store walmart)

Those people who said that soil would kill your plants probally havent even used it before , or just ran into some bad luck.

Expert Gardener also makes good cheap fertilizers. There Expert Gardener 24-8-16 All purpose water soluble plant food is what Im using during vegg.
/me huggs (((walmart))) lol.

aw good. i was in panic mode for my little happy plants. coincidentally, that's the exact same fertilizer i'm using too. also, there was supposed to be a comment in there somewhere on yours, lookin good man, lookin very good. And kudos on pulling them back from the brink, that's talent

Ok ive snapped a few photos of my plants in there new grow area I have right now 156 watts of cfl and a 48 inch floro tube. I plan on adding more lights as the weeks progress (when I start flowering).

These plants are probably gonna stay in veggative stage another week or so.
I plan on taking clones off the 2 plants in the left hand side of the photos below. One is My best Indica female , the Other is my Sativa bush.

The area is in the back of a walk-in closet in a space above my stairs, in a area that was used for storage. The area is quite large 4.5'L X 3'W X 4.5'H I only plan on using 3'Lx3'Wx4.5'H and using a tarp to tarp of the rest when the plants flower. I painted the area flat white and made sure everything was nice and disinfected , I still got my other grow box for vegg/clones and seedlings soon I should be able to harvest every 2 months. :smokin:

First here are a couple of all the plants together, The two plants on the right hand side are the 2 plants I am probally gonna kill the smaller indica one in the back it is so small becase I keep it in a smaller container because I think its a male even though he hasnt shown any "pairs" of balls yet. The other three plants are female.The plant in the lower right hand side is my "finicky bitch" plant she dosent seem to like living.

Here is some pics of my sativa female.

[r00tdoctor]

Here are a couple pics of my favorite Indica female.

[r00tdoctor]

Here is a pic of the plant I think is a male,im not 100% positive yet is the reason why "he" hasnt got chopped down. Its also why his container size hasnt been raised.

Here is my pitiful "finicky" bitch indica female. she grows BUT her leaves curl under , she gets spots , Her leaves even curl at the sides making here look like a sativa plant. I think she gots plant AIDS or something. I am prolly still gonna flower this pitiful plant maybe ill get a couple grams off her ,lol. But ill never ever clone this pitiful specimen.

Another picture of my sativa female plant (a side view) and a picture of all the plants with the circulating fan on them (I noticed there was a huge dust build up on the fan as you can see in the picture , from years of use lol, so I shop vac'ed it off.)
