    MAZARI fems, DWC & CFL's :-)

    Hey Mature Smoker! I saw that the NL thread was dying down. Mine are just two weeks old and I started a thread concerning them and also the other stuff I have on the vine. Im building organic soil of late and hoping my mix will do me two NL well. When Im ready to pot up and go into flower...

    Today I am testing soil ph and NPK values. I started some compost last June and wanted to use it as an additive to my purchased soil so as to make my own supersoil of sorts. So, bought a test kit and it turns out it is medium on N, High P and high K....which is what I wanted for flower...

    new cfl need help

    I dunno if I agree. More wattage gets better penetration than your little 23 or 42 watters and you can still keep it close, like two inches, provided you run a fan or an open space to dissipate the heat. Yes, you can run a fuck load of 23 watters adjust all the little fuckers every couple days...

    strain for my first CFL grow...?

    Were it my first grow, I would just germ some bag seed and see whats up and if have the green thumb so to speak. A very big investment in seed and start up costs might really turn you off until you get your sea legs. I dont have much experience but I am doing my sixth grow just now. My first...

    :weed: Since weekly updates on seedlings can get boring until you have some real growth and or changes figured i would share the other Schwagg I have on the vine. Currently I have two ready to pot up and put into flower hours. This was a small purchase from August, made with a friend to hold us...

    12/12 from seed 5 weeks into flowering schwag bagseed

    Looking good dude! I been growing bag seed for one year this month! All my shit was better than the bags I had purchased and got the seed from. I am not knocking good genetics one bit, but most stuff we get locally was probably better weed but poorly harvested and cured. I threw what I knew to...

The other two are perking along but I did let em dry out a bit to much once and the lower leaves yellowed. No big deal. So now i have two NL that will...

A nice filler grow between types. Havent been out of pot since July! Its a deisel hermi I am sure but it tastes great compared to...

    Tutorial to Growing with Cfl's

    You can add worm casting until hell freezes over and the plant will be fine. Next to the last week I use water and molasses only. Fish ferts full strength feeding and unflushed will screw up the taste. With organic nutes, flushing is an option, not a necessity depending on what you are using...

    Tutorial to Growing with Cfl's

    Your seedlings are fine, this is a weed you know. Following the instructions is always a good idea with one caveat, most nute additives should be cut in half. I have no experience with anything but organic soil mixes and amendments. However, most seedlings need nothing but water for 30 days...

    Amount of Guano to use per Gallon of soil?

    As lonely smoka said, but wear gloves and a mask. This shit will give you a nasty infection in a cut or even lung crud. I had a hang nail and it infected the shit out my hand. Went up my arm past my wrist causing redness and an itch that wouldnt quit not tomention a sore pussie finger. I nhow...

    Tutorial to Growing with Cfl's

    Try using the small fans on top as exhaust. That way you push from the inside lower fan across the light and all the heat out of the top. So reverse em and check your temps after a few hours. This way all the heat stays at the top and the lower fan will keep the girls cool and moving. Good...

    harvesting a pound using cfls

    I have my doubts. My best effort with 4ea 42 watt cfl yielded 1/4 oz dry per plant.

    harvesting a pound using cfls

    Here is one honest answer. If you stuff a 400HPS into a small space you may have to much light/ heat and possibly not be able to get rid of it with ventilation unless you have a hurricane style fans. To much wind in your box means watering more often and can cause stress also. If you have...

    Uh a quick change here. The top on the rack weighed 21g not 22...and as of today it is 10.3g dry and the stem snapped crisply. Into the jar she goes for aging!
