first timer--anyone have feedback?

Ok watered again today, 5 days since the last watering. The plants were light when I lifted them and the soil was dry 3-4" down. They lapped up the gallon of water each even more quickly than last time! I think I am going to have to start watering every 4 days now.

This time I added 1 drop of superthrive, 30ml of hydrogen pyroxide, and 10ml (or just over 1/2 tablespoon) of FoxFarm Grow Big, per gallon.

I think the plants will be 20-24" tall by the time I enter flowering on Feb 10th. I plant on using from 350-600 watts of 2700k CFLs as supplemental lighting for my 600 watt HPS. I want to maximize my yield and since my plants will be that big going into flowering I think I will need a lot of light, especially to supplement the HPS to get some lumans to the budsites below the canopy! :leaf:

Thoughts?

I've been looking into the fox farm line. I just got 32oz of the flora line last week so it'l prob be a little while, but I think when I run out or as I start a new grow around the time I run out I'm gonna go with FF next time.

Yeah I feel like my nutrient system is pretty well balanced right now. The h2o2 adds to the effectivness of the organic FF products and the superthrive makes its mark as well.

I also foliar feed once a week! I am getting around 1/2 inch of growth per day with cfl's so I am happy!

i've heard the opposite on the h202, not to be used with organics , and kills good bacteria

Hate to burst your bubble Jesse but you are asking for trouble...

H2O2 is NOT compatible with organics...

It is used to KILL EVERY MICRO ORGANISM... including your beneficial bacteria...

If you are going to use Hydrogen Peroxide... switch to synthetic nutes...

You are correct...:o

My bubble is still quite intact...

I have only dosed them twice with h202, no noticeable problems yet...

So just stop using it and I will be fine?

Another update...

Plant 1 20"
Plant 2 22"
Plant 3 17"

So I am starting to wonder if my plants are autoflowering.

I have HUGE amounts of pistils sticking out of every top. Looks like some pics I have seen of people's plants on here in early flowering.

If I could email my pics to someone, could you post them for me?

Need someone REALLY trustworthy! Let me know cause you guys gotta see my babies!!!

....trust me man, i know what i mean.

i am accessing the internet via a TMobile G1. it can synch your email so you can just email pics.

however, whereas YOU can actually upload your pics in the advanced portion of a post, for me it says UPLOADS DISABLED. its because of the phone. i have contacted tmobile about it, they are aware of this and are tryin to address the problem with an update.

make sense ?
