We're hangin. Hoping for prettier days though... Tell me, The rain water ph differs by the change in climate? Forgive me for my noon-ness but I buy spring and distilled water so I know nothing of rain water.

Hey everyone, starting my first grow in 321 (indoors) since leaving the Navy. Hoping 2014 will bring some better results for Florida or I will be leaving the state (maybe for Illinois).
Any who, I run a 400W HPS and just got two 6500k 15W CFLs for supplement. I have two synthetic-fed plants about 3-4 weeks into bloom and five others in veg (all 12/12 thou).
Strains I'm running: The Doctor & Pakistan Valley (flowering); Super Lemon Haze, Royal Flush, Underdawg OG, & Cotton Candy (veg)
All my veg plants are together in a large 19gal Rubbermaid bin being fed organic teas. I also have a batch of Subcool's Super Soil cooking minus the azomite & humic acid (not in my budget).
What do all the outdoor growers use for pest/insect control? I don't have any bug issues, just want some input verse what the west coast guys use before I plan my first outdoor grow.

Best of luck..I had Cotton Candy and loved her for the "daytime" sat dom effect..CAUTION: DON'T TOP or everything leaf she has will go yellow..

Ya I plan on growin her straight up. She is the slowest grower of all my seedlings, with Super Lemon Haze being the fastest (over a foot less than 2 weeks from seed).

I suggest you seperate the plants. Ive seen a similar set up and they fought for dominance til only one plant (the stronges one) lived....

I might remove one of the plants, but I'm tryin to maximize yield in small, perpetual garden. Everything I have is going 12/12 from seed, until i have time/space/money to have a seperate veg room. I thought about one plant dominating the rest, but hopefully they have enough romm to grow downward and out some before the start to flower; then I shouldn't have to worry about anything but to much coverage blocking the light to other plants.
But I appreciate the advice, I only have about 3 x 3 space and those 2 rubbermaid bins fit perfectly under my light. Trust me I have blueprints for a bunch of diff size grow rooms, just lack in the resource department. I have helped out on a few grow design/builds: PC case, several cabinets and closets. I need to find a financer to drop some $$$ for me to really get a big grow op INDUSTRIAL SIZE. lol
Yeah, I was gonna mention she's tough to germ and being waaaaaaay sat dom, gonna go looooooong 11-12 weeks in flower..wait for her though don't rush..i loved her effect but some friends say she was too speedy/sat dom for them.. definately not for relaxation.
I place a slow growing plant on cardboard box to even up the canopy

She germinated perfectly like all the others but just a slow grower. I got 2 other 11 week sativas going, but they growin much faster and healthier
The Cotton Candy I have is from Delicious Seeds. That is her on the left with the 400W on the side..she ended up being 5 feet tall.
she'll catch upView attachment 2762317

Craig just take two liter soda bottles and remove the top and bottom. Then cut it directly down the side until it opens like a piece of paper. Then wrap the 2 liter "paper" around each plant. That way they cant choke each other.. Why lets 5 plant kill each other until one remains, when you can have 5 plants in the end... You did say you wanted yield correct ?

I took your advice and seperated the plants. I used some thick sheet plastic I had lying around and cut them to fit and dug them in. My Underdawg OG had to be replanted due to her vicinity to the others, but she is the least important as she was a freebie. I'm really only interested in the Royal Flush and Super Lemon Haze plants,; the others are just for some additional herb to smoke.

Thank you. I'm about 3-4 weeks out from harvesting my 2 girls in flower. Got some bubble bags on order to make some nice full melt bubble!!!
I checked on my super soil yesterday and it has a nice white webbing starting to form on the top; sp it'll be good and ready when next grow bin opens up.
Not sure if I'm going with 3 or 4 plants in it. Def puttin in Skywalker OG & Critical Kush seeds; got a few others i could put along with it.
