my porch plants. the stem only plant was previously harvested other one still has not shown its self its about 30 days old from seed. think its a hermi.

my soil was told it was organic soil friends dad uses it for at his nersury, and picked up this bag of perlites



all plants planted in new soil and pots. white widow seeds just enterd soil.


the white widow seeds in there germination box. 2 days popped out of soil.

Also, I see that you have one of those little watering things that water the pants automatically (pic before last)
I don't recommend using that, just water it when its dry

it was not an automatic watering system. it was more so it makes sure that the middle of the pot got enough water. but that plant i gave up on and just waiting for the WW

Yellowing that early just means it hit a hot spot in the soil, no worries. They all germed, so looking good so far. Only 80 something more days to go lol.

hey thanks the box is pretty simple and works well for me. the pc fans are hard wired into a 12v ac-dc converter (old electronic charger). ill help you out the best i can.

went to the local hydro store today for the first time and man its awesome. they have everything i see on here lol, but i went ahead and bought my nuts today. i went with fox farms tiger bloom, big bloom and grow big. ran me $60.


now i just have to figure out how much to give them cause it only says for gallons and my plants are not going to be drinking a gallon at a time. i also got grandmothers unsulpherd molasses, going to start giving the porch plant.

well any advice greatly appreciated
