After my first grow went terrible and my 6 plants yielded less than 1/4oz in total, I knew I had to make some changes. First, I looked at my lights and realized that I was using crappy T12 floros, which put out less lumens than a lightning bug. Second, I realized the soil I was using sucked. So, here is the result of those fixes.
I decided to use this wonderful fixture: http://www.htgsupply.com/viewproduct.asp?productID=49346
I have used zero nutrients, and I give them 20hrs light, 4hrs dark. This is a simple closet, with no ventilation except the door being opened.
And I picked the Organic-choice Miracle grow as the mixture. Many people hate MG, but since I couldn't find a local place, or a good place to ship me Fox Farms, I picked this for its organic nature.
Here are the pictures. What do you guys think? Two things of note: 1) The real pathetic plant on the left was potted with generic potting mix, note how much good soil makes a difference. 2) The strange looking plant was actually from my last batch, I cut off all the plant to dry and smoke, except the bottom smallest leaves. Check how she exploded!
