Week 4 of 12/12 lighting.

Later this day I moved the Super Silver Haze plants to my 1000 watt room because they were growing faster then the pineapple express and with a 400 watt light i needed it closer to the smaller plants.

Here is a picture of the haze plants after i moved them into the 1k watt room.

Week 5 of 12/12 lighting.

Here is a few pics of the 2 haze plants i moved to the 1k watt room.

I will post more pics as the plants grow.

Any questions or advice is welcome.
I made this thread to learn and help fellow growers that are on a budget like me.

The #1 thing I hope people see from my thread is,I am out of smoke and it's still worth the wait to let these girls grow after this much time invested.

I added Hi-Brix molasses on my last water and the crystal growth is crazy!!!
A buddy and research tells me I could buy it cheaper but with my caregiver discount and only 1 1/2 tbs a gallon of water I will buy the stuff from the hydro store.

Nice plants, and getting bigger. Nice setup, I couldn't wait for smoke, that's why I got hash bags to do the leaf. That way I stay out of the fresh bud...rw

Thanks roofwayne,
I am pretty happy this round after last times dreaded spider mite

I saved the plant using a mixture of wetting agent and captain jacks dead bug but i still hate spraying anything on my leaves that might screw things up and them damn spider mites like to show up out of no where during flowering.
Then when you kill them you have to time your next spray after the eggs hatch and that depends on your room temp and humididty.
This time I know the signs of those eight legged freaks and keep a fan on 24/7 and monitor humidity and temp levels better.
This weed I am smoking is making me type tooo much so peace out :joint:

I didn't think about bugs much till I got them from soil I bought, you right it sucks. We won't hope for those. I live at 5000ft and it surround by desert, so mostly it dry. later..rw
