This is my 1st grow, some stats: Bag seed, 2 months old, 1 foot tall, 2 23 watt day CFL, 2 100 watt CFL soft. Currently Flowering, Miracle Grow Perilite and filtered water with a bubbler, no nutes. Pics are posted below in succession of age. Should I add nutes? Or is there enough in the perelite? I don't want to burn it. Constructive criticism is always welcome bongsmilie

My root system is quite large it seems (Pics above), should I switch to a larger pail? I am currently using one that holds 2.5 gallons of water. And if I do go larger, say 5 gallons should I get another bubbler?

Thanks man, I'll check it out. I don't know what I'm doing I'm just stumbling through this high and this plant took off. Four others died during seedling stage, this one is strong though. I burnt it with the bulb twice and almost let the roots get dry. Another time the bubbler went off for 8 hours and I thought it drowned. I hope its a girl.

Yea they look real white, you can kind of tell in that picture but its low cam phone quality. They actually picked up the bubbler from the bottom of the pail and are holding it! I don't want to mess with it:joint:

Do you think you'll need a new bubbler under the root mass. also what are your temps I've been having rot issues. the higher temps worked great for clones but only about 5 or 6 days then slime set in.

Well to be honest I have no idea what my temp is. I keep my house temp between 80-82 F. I live in a very dry climate so mold is not an issue around here. I think I will get another bubbler it wont hurt when I switch it to a 5 gallon bucket. Do you think I have enough light on her?

I don't have much good to say about low watt cfl's. It looks like it's doing ok. I use 1 100w and 1-80w for veg and hps for flower. I would use mh for veg and hps for flower if I had a 600w hps. Just can't beat that combo for lighting. In the pic It looks like you could get your lights a bit closer to the plant. luck to you.

Okay I lied I just got hell of paranoid after some sweeps in my town targeting closet growers near campus. At any rate here is the rest of the pics. I harvested a little over 3 oz of dried bud that hit heavy. IMG00682.jpgIMG00670.jpgIMG00674.jpgIMG00685.jpgIMG00671.jpgIMG00676.jpgIMG00680.jpgIMG00673.jpgIMG00679.jpgIMG00380.jpgIMG00692.jpg
