78degree daytime temp
70 degree nighttime temp

Medium:
50% Ocean Forest Organic Soil
25% Perlite
25% Botanicare ReadyGro Moisture Mix

Nutrients (Veg):

Watering every other day. If anyone has any pointers, I would GREATLY appreciate it. I'm doing this on my own, and this forum is my guide! Thanks everyone!

Hey sounds good. That's a lot of light 9 600w's? You could probably swing more plants if you'd like!

I had a question for any more experienced growers here. I'm trying to do some things to preventatively keep root rot and fungus gnats at bay. I noticed a few fungus gnats today, and want to take care of it before it becomes too big a problem.

Use 1 part 3% Hydrogen Peroxide to 4 parts water. Water plants with this and it kills off the lava in the soil and will not hurt the plant

Yeah you can't use that stuff with organics dudeski..

Use Hygrozyme and some organic insecticide of some kind from the hydro store or online.

Peace

You should've used a deeper container,but not as wide ass those ones,they look 5 feet wide,to fukin wide man.About your fungus gnats:http://www.google.com/products?q=ye...a=X&oi=product_result_group&resnum=1&ct=title.To keep soil free of pathogens,a few drops of hydrogen peroxide per Liter of water.

OK, here's what the ladies look like tonight (this morning for them). I'm deciding on which methods for the gnats and will be putting something up about it tomorrow. Here's how they look! Comments and suggestions greatly appreciated!

When taking your pics try to get them without the grow light on them, it's hard to tell what the plants really looks like.

Put up some traps for the gnats, and since there were only a few to begin with it managed them effectively. New pics up tomorrow!

Heres an update. Corrected a small micronutrient problem and all is looking good! Added tomato cages to the AK-47 for increased stability as they are growing quickly with lankier branches.

New update.Getting ready to flush tomorrow and start my 12/12 cycle! Anyone feel like a longer dark period before the first 12 hour light cycle is beneficial??

OK, Flush went well! Plants seemed to really enjoy it, I ensured there was about 90 percent run off.

I started the dark period 8am 2-11-09 and will run the dark period to this evening 2-12-09 at 7pm for its first 12 hour light cycle. That would be a total of 35 hours of darkness in between light cycles.

Now going to be using:

Pure Blend Pro Bloom Soil
Liquid Karma
CAL-MAG+

Also, a 1 time shot of AN Bud Blood
