I've been using the roottech gel, I like it. Its been working pretty good. I just put about 10 more clones into soil, and under my floro light. I gotta do something with my sativa clones, they are getting big.
Cardboard grow box my ass lol your setup is looking sweet! I have a feminized church seedling right now that I got from greenhouse seeds. It is growing awfully slow, do you have any tips for this strain?OK, so heres some pics finally of some more progress on things. Obviously, things havent been exactly up to par as far as my expectations go, but im slowly dialing in this houses preferences for growing, and i think that by the time this grow is done, ill be ready to undertake something more serious, and be able to do it with 100% success, and to my own personal satisfaction. Youll see what i meant here when i say that theyre small still. I dont know if i said it in here, or inanother thread, but im flowering the soil plants right now, and theyre all showing sex, but even the biggest one is still small, so i might either throw them all back into veg in 2 weeks once they finish stretching, so i can bush them out n up a little more before i do final flower, or ill just take my durban, northern, and sputnik and put them back into veg to get some age and bulk to them Im not sure yet, but im gonna definitely have to figure somethin out, unless i wanna sacrifice alotta yield this time around for convenience, lol.
So heres some pics for you guys. Well start out with The Church. Shes actually doin ok for 1 week into flowerr. Hopefully shell get another foot or two taller before she goes into full out budding, n if she doesnt shell go back into veg for another couple weeks to make sure she gets the weight that i want her to get. We'll see though..:
Next is Strawberry Blue. Shes still really kinda tiny n lanky. If i were to let her go, shed end up with two pretty decent sized top buds, almost lookin like the Widows i had last time around. Which isnt really a bad thing, that bud was fuckin killer, and it yielded decent. But i wanna see if i can get ALOT more out of her. Once again though, its up in the air on what im gonna do :
SPUTNIK #1 -- I think shes way too small to let flower out. But i have a bunch more seeds, so i dunno yet. maybe 3/4 oz is enough for a tester, lol. :
DURBAN POISON - Same deal :
NORTHERN LIGHTS - Same deal, lol :
SOUR P - I think this plant is gonna get flowered straight up. Shes fuckin huge right now, n in 2 weeks shell probably end up bein 3ft tall or so. i love the way this girl turned out. Shes fuckin bushy as hell man. :
Red DIESEL - Once again, fuckin beautiful plant. hope she stretches out alot more too. :
N heres my barebones tray setup for right now. Once again, i need to wait until the landlord gets his fuckin lazy ass up in here before i can start construction of my room, and give this setup what it truly deserves, but for now i built a pvc frame for it which is kinda sturdy LOL, but im replacing it with lumber soon enough. N im building a 10x12 room, and will be doing a set of 3x3 trays on two of the walls, and the other side of the room will have the veg chamber and cloning chamber. Itll all be contained in one big room, so i dont have to run back n forth like i do right now, checking from crop to crop. Its fuckin frustrating living in my own house and not being able to finish the damn setup the way i want it to be, and thats why everything is suffering. But once i have everything built n dialed in, ill be able to control everything in my grow, and the plants will be alot happier. Ill be venting the air throughout the heating ducts in the house, and bringing in fresh air from my dryer duct. Everything will be run on one 480 cfm blower and one 500 cfm blower, with hard ducting running into the room and out of the room, and flexi ducting running through the rafters. Ill have a drop ceiling put in eventually, but until then i think im gonna just scrub them bitches down with hygrozyme and an industrial brush, to get rid of the cobwebs, spiderwebs, and any other insects or beasties crawlin around up there. After that, its drywall, lumber, n panda film everywhere, and a big fuckin smile on my face, lol
But no matter how stressful this shit can be at times, the first thing i learned when i started this hobby is that everybody has to start from meager beginnings, and you work your way up from there, as you learn more n more. I may be taking my lumps as far as setbacks right now, but itll pay off in the long run man. The more time i have to think about what i wanna do when i finally have the freedom to run around crazy n do whatever i want, the more detailed my setup becomes in my head. It can all be done proffessionally with the lighting i have currently, nothing else needs to be bought. i have the materials i need to get goin, and the only thing ill need to pick up is more rockwool, and probably a few more pots once i go perpetual officially. For now though, its slow goin, and im not gonna hurry anything else along other than my soil plants. the hydro im gonnna take my time with n make sure i learn from it n get it right, and when its ready to flower out, ill flower it out and then get goin on the serious shit. Ill be updating more regularly now that i actually have something to show, lol, so stay tuned guys, itll get more interesting i swear, LOL.
peace,

i feel you there man. its bad enough when everything is 'under control'... being a farmer would really suck -- with no control over the weather. but, then, i guess most american farmers are backed by crop insurance....cuz i dont wanna lose 2 oz of some AK Yumboldt to some dumbass problem that i didnt forsee, or couldnt diagnose. fuckin stupid plant problems....they should make a strain thats impervious to human error, lol.
