ya were only like day 9 flowering. doesnt every1 give their babies hgh? its funny i went cheap on nutrients and its working out great. technaflora is pretty cool actually. i bought 1 of the cheap box sets. and a bottle was leaking. i let them kno and within a week they sent me 2 boxs for free. so i mean there a good company in my book. i could spend 1k on advanced nutes like my friend. but i jus dont see the point. but anyway they should slow down a bit in the next 2 weeks. i hope lol.

my computer crashed so this is the first time ive been on in the last few days. measured my jtr on day 14 of flowering. 7 days since the last time i did it. it went from 23 inches to 31 1/2. its such a bad ass looking plant. i recommend jack the ripper to any1 so far. jus to watch it grow. well i dont have anything interesting to talk about so here is some headband my friend grew under a couple 600s in soilless med with house and garden nutes. got an ounce for 150. the price is fair and you got to love that indoor. i live in norcal and still dont want outdoor right now. ive had to much growing up lol. so im enjoying indoor for as long as i can.

i think youll like it if possible i like to start seeds outside in grow bags then once about 2-3 feet i dig a hole put the grow bag in hole cut out the bottom and drop her in delicatly like the bottom 1/3 of 5 gal grow bag goes in hole and that way roots can really spread

to clairify you put the bag in hole lift a bit cut all the way around the like pulling a table cloth you slide the bottom of root ball into hole and leave top of plastic get what im sayin???

jus spent some time picking through my plants. didnt find but 2 or 3 leaves with spider mite damage. cant wait to have a grow with no spider mites! my afgooey is by far the most crystalized. that strains classic. wasnt sure how it would perform so its really impressing me so far. by far the biggest bush too lol. that plants gonna yield heavy. my querkle is way below the canopy. there kinda getting lost in the foliage. kinda extended the width of my room and tilted the light to make more out of what i have. i can definently get some more light out of that 400w. its mainly tilted cause Jack the ripper 1 is 35 inches tall. the next tallest is jtr 2 at 31 1/2 and afgooey 2 at 27.

whats up guys! whoever is still following along anyway. alright i've wanted to make my life easier by adding a flood table for awhile now. so today i went and got a 2x4 table. i spent the last hour building a bench out of wood for the table to sit on its dimensions are 38Lx18Wx24H. i got the plants out raised the light then got it in the room. wasn't as easy as i thought it would be. i wasnt even sure all 10 plants would fit. so i was definently relieved to see it done. oh i also bought a thermometer and hygrometer. sadly my temp raised to about 80 . before i put the table in it was 75 degrees. it is 1 of the hotter days today. but it makes me want to hook up my portable A/C unit. also the humidity was 50%. i

come on people dont leave it all up to mike! let me get some feedback here. negative or positive. jus something lol. comments... concerns it doesnt matter. by the way that upgrade i did today was really cheap. 45 for the table. 3 dollar bucket. free hose and a 2 dollar fitting. the thermometer and hygrometer was 20 dollars. and the new watering system i did a week or 2 ago was cheap also. 50 dollar pump. 3 dollar bucket 10 dollars worth of fitting and hose. then a 5 dollar wand. something like that. now pretty much my life is much easier after those two upgrades. i recommend it for every1 that was in the same boat i was in. im making bigger batches of nutrients. not mixing a gal at a time. watering with a wand. not out of a jug. and i dont have to buy water anymore. cause my well water is only 90 ppm. which is acceptable. over a 100 i wouldnt of used it. now i wont even have to drain the plants individualy. once the bucket gets full ill dump it. i also bought some House and garden nutrients at the hydro store today when i was buying the other shit. i figured ill pick 1 piece of their line up every so often. that way i wont have to fork over 400 dollars all at once. spread it out.

I'll leave you some feedback bud, even though I'm still learning and don't know what I'm doing! Kudos on the plants man those are really prettty girls.. I've heard everything from 8 inches to 2 1/2 ft.. So how much room do you leave between lady and the spotlight? I wish I had access to a hydrostore! The nearest one from me is a couple hours away and with my schedule is a complete bitch to try and work out most of the time!

alright well as long as im not alone. i kno right. i have all kinds of views. jus no1 wants to comment. jus want to read what i say and leave. i wonder if i could get away with getting a inline fan.i saw the 6'' cap inline fan put out like 300 cfm. seems like enough for my room and how far the ventilation would be. or i could fork out the other 100 bucks and get a centrifugal fan which i kno will do the job and keep doing that job if i ask more of it. i want to drop my temps back down to at least 75. that will be my next project i guess. it just never ends

i dont go any closer than 8 inches from the glass on my hood. and i usually dont let it get that close. 12 inches for my 400 is more than enough room. as long as the rooms not to hot u can go really close with a 400.

how many square feet is your room also do you got an intake fan all you should need for up to a 12 by 12 room is two squirell cage fans and an oscialating 12-16" oscialating fan

I might move my gals up during their days while I'm home.. I'm just scared if I put 'em too close they'll get crispy and won't wanna love me anymore..

So this seems like a stupid question but how do you water your plants? I was using a small measuring cup but didn't like the non-evenness of it. I'm OCD or some shit like that. Been using a spray bottle but that definitely doesn't keep them wet enough unless I'm around to monitor them all the time.

Here's a more valid question, how much room do you have from the top of your pots to the bottom of the light?

You've also got 4 different strains which wil all grow different so you'll more than likely need to practice laying down the law and tying down some branches once flowering is in full swing.


All in all I like what your doing.

I wouldn't have grown different strains unless they had similar characteristics, but that's me.

I also feel your pain on not getting any comments. :wall:

Pardon my ignorance but what are squirrel cage fans? And where would I mount these things? Do you have to do construction to your grow room or do they clip onto your hoods and get air away from your light? I'm losing the ventilation battle right now, well actually I'm winning but I have to keep a watchful eye and I know there is more efficient ways to do this besides a lazy box fan in the door.

in the beg of my journal i got a picture of a metal thing sticking to the inside of the door that is the fan were talking about if you google it and hit image it should show you exactly what it is and its easy as hell to mount all u need is a drill a 3 or 4 inch circle saw bit 12 bucks at home depot and some screws cut the hole tape it with duct tape for no leaks mount fan screw in plug in and dont took me like 10 min
