Humboldt Earth Soil.

Ingredients:
This product is a blend of 20-25% Canadian Sphagnum peat moss, processed softwood bark, coconut coir, perlite, earthworm castings, compost, dolomite lime, fish meal, soybean meal, bat guano, kelp meal and organic wetting agent (Yucca extract).

Actually she has been flowering for the last week. Only about 5-6 inches tall due to rootbound in a small container...transplanted but never shot up = \ but she is alot denser and smells really sweet :P

Much appreciated. Should of seen my first batch... poor little girls Had 5 northern lights, 5 white widow, 6 chem4og...started all outdoors, got eaten by pests, saved what I could brought them in after 2 weeks...only grew 2-3 inchestall with only the second LEAF set growing. Not fan leaves just 1 leaf -_-

But I gave one to my cousin to nurse back to health if he could...it being a month old and 3 inches tall with lots of stress history...better than throwing it away. He just brought it to me after having it for 3 weeks. He was away from home for 2 days and came home to his room SMELLING like someone just smoked in there...sooo he had to give it back. But it has decent amount of nodes with just the cfl's he was using but now with my hps it will stretch and be decent, I believe the one he gave back is Northern Lights (i hope)

I'd prefer to research anything I do before I invest time n money :P


EDIT: not to mention I was OVERWHELMED by how many I had once they got past seedling. went from having about 25 plants to 12 = \ but it happens, just won't be buying single seeds of 1 strain LOL

How come some look like they had all the leaves removed & why have u tied them down when their so small, it looks like u have the room?

just thought I'd ask mate, as you've got a 600w hid, and you did ask for comments so I'd thought I'd help out a bit.
youll get some bud off them mate but if they've been growing for nearly two months you've run into issues.

Im not tryna troll or anything bud, it's just that maybe I can help you a bit, I use a 600w setup so can maybe help u out a bit.

Do u have intake/extraction. If ya need any advice im always up for helping, I'm by no means an expert, but I'd say I'm a good dirt grower, been growing for 15 years, I'm a bit stuck in my ways, but why change if it works.

If ya got ya spaced dialled in that's the most important, environment is key to growing. I've got a 1.2mx1.2x2.0 tent for flowering at mo with a 600w in, my usual veg time is about 1.5 months on a perpetual 4 plant grow, average between 3-6oz per plant, strain dependent which is perfect for me, sometime I do some smaller and have more.
Here's a pic of a green crak s1 from seed, she's a slow grower and 31 days old, I'm using her as the images already pasted from earlier, lol, I've just put her in flower, but a month old plant roughly looks like this (I've had bigger/smaller)



she's only just starting to branch under 12/12 but I've been told she stretches a lot and gave up vegging on her, lol.

plz dont take offence at this post I'm just tryna help, any questions mate, feel free to PM me


Bob.

eit, for size comparison them leaves are 13" wide, lol. That's why i flowered her early, she just made leaves.

No offense taken at all. The Bubblegum was very thick with leaves, but I noticed the leaves underneath were dieing away and just looking extremely ugly...sooo I opened her up and yeah = \

The small ones just never really stretched, but they are all auto's.

EDIT: Also my grateful casey grows 11 leaf fan leaves, and its main stem is as thick as 4-5 pencils.
