This is my 1st attempt at a soil grow, my other grows have been Aero-Ponic setups and I've become reasonably successful with that technique. Soil seems a bit simpler (HaHa) so I thought I'd give it a go. So here's the info and the issue...........

Strain: Super Silver Haze - 2 Plants In Veg for a little over 30 days.

Indoor grow using a grow tent which is 3x3x7 - Light: Procyon 100 LED.

Soil: 50/50 Mix of Fox Farms Ocean and Light Warrior

Pot Size: Approx 3 Gallons

I've been watering every 5 to 6 days with Ph Balanced Water. There are currently 0 visible pests.

Additional Nutrients have'nt been added yet as the nutes in the soil more than likely have not yet depleted. When the time comes I plan on using the GH trio. Of course, since I have 0 experience with soil, this could very well be a deficiency of some type ;>

Temp of Room: 64-82 degrees Fahrenheit.

One of the plants has developed spots and one of the leaves is getting all crispy as you can see in the photos.......

Thanks in Advance,

W!CK ;)

I was sitting with a bud and we were discussing a grow setup and it was brought up that he wanted to use mirrors and aluminum foil for the light reflective property's of this grow. So me a big user of 420mag have come across over and over respectable growers saying that mirrors are bad at reflecting light. So I try to tell my bud that mirrors are not that great for growing and he looked at me like I was a dumbass. Unfortunately I was not able to tell him why this is so. So can anybody tell me why this is? I am now quite curious myself as to why mirrors are not good at reflecting light. Any good answers??:yummy:

I did keep taking pics for my own use, though, and since I think I'm going to get a proper camera after the 1st of the month, what I've got so far may be of interest to some people.

Those who might be interested are those who are about to do a first grow (like I am), those who are interested in how the RainForest system works, and those who are interested in any of the 3 strains I'm growing (and I hope I can get them to harvest...).

My objectives with the grow were:
1) Learn how things go and how things look in a real-life grow, rather than pics of other people's experiences.
2) Figure out nutes. So many different brands, regimens, dosages, etc. to decide on. I decided to go with the GH nutes that came with the RainForest, and go way easy on the dosages (thinking that it's a lot easier to add more than it is to remove stuff from the res...).
3) How to control temp, humidity, and air circulation.
4) Best lighting schedules and heights.
5) When to switch from veg to bloom, and when to harvest.
6) Characteristics of the 3 strains.

So far, no big problems. But I'll start at the beginning... ]]> Journals in Progress Bolivar http://www.420magazine.com/forums/journals-progress/106628-1st-grow-rainforest-318-400w-hid-chronic-haze-yumbolt47-california-dream.html http://www.420magazine.com/forums/california/106627-los-angeles-court-support-needed-nov-23-a.html Sat, 21 Nov 2009 14:46:35 GMT Craig X Rubin faces years in prison and another trial at the taxpayers expense, as cannabis is something most Californians think should be legal.

Craig X Rubin faces years in prison and another trial at the taxpayers expense, as cannabis is something most Californians think should be legal. Recent polls show that 74 percent of residents in California favor taxing and regulating the herb, as opposed to prosecuting offenders. Most Americans know Craig from his stint on Showtime's "Weeds," or one of the many films he's been in, from Super High Me to Totally Baked; but they might soon know him by his prisoner number, as he is facing five years in prison in just a few days.

Rubin is a proponent of pot, having contributed to the final wording of Proposition 215; this real life pastor and college teacher is a graduate of UCLA. He is a full-time pastor at the Family Church in Pasadena and teaches a course to students at the Union Bible College called, The Jewish History of the New Testament, where he emphasizes the fact that the New Testament writers and Jesus himself were all Jewish.

Rubin is more than upset about the arrest, having spent seven days in jail where he dropped 16 pounds, claiming that he didn't eat for seven days. Rubin is not claiming he wasn't fed, but saying the food wasn't consumable. Rubin has a lot of complaints saying, "This prosecution is completely political retribution because of my outspoken stance in favor of cannabis against city officials who waste taxpayers money."

Rubin has named DEA agents by name as being petty thieves when his Temple 420 was raided three years ago and has the video to back up his statements; he has named the officer who testified against him as a perjurer and again has video evidence (that was not allowed in court); he is an outspoken critic of LAPD Narcotics Division, who Rubin alleges have stolen millions of dollars from people they arrest, pointing out that drugs are a cash business and the temptation is great.

Recently he and another pastor did an investigation of Building and Safety officers in Los Angeles and uncovered what appeared to be the taking of bribes as well as death threats from city employees writing on public web sites about shooting their city managers and fellow co-workers; pointing out when this goes down who is going to say, there were red flags. "The city doesn't look into any of this stuff, but goes after the person uncovering it," claims Rubin.

Rubin claims he was given permission by the probation department and Judge Drew Edwards on May 15, 2008, in the court where he was convicted of possessing and selling marijuana, to own and operate a marijuana facility (club). Trutanich has proposed a law that would affect only Rubin as it is already illegal to own and operate a medical pot club while on probation without judges' and probation's permission; but a new proposed ordinance would now make it law. The only person of the 1,400 clubs in Los Angeles this changes things for is Rubin.

The Pastor was given permission by the probation department and even has an email from Asha Greenberg dated October 21, 2009 stating," We have no intention to prosecute at this point." Rubin says of the prosecution, "It is unjust, as I would have been closed had it not been for the email from Asha Greenberg the day before saying she wasn't going to prosecute." At court it was testified to that Asha Greenberg, Deputy District Attorney, was the one who initiated the arrest of the pastor less than 24 hours after writing they wouldn't prosecute for zoning violations. The entire investigation is dedicated to the fact that Rubin is unlicensed, when in fact he is licensed, and showed officers that fact on the day of the arrest; so they changed the charges to alleged child abuse -- charges the judge immediately threw out the first day in court saying, "It is obvious to the court that Rubin went out of his way to protect the young man and make (sure) he was never near marijuana."

Rubin, on the day of his arrest, his day off, picked up a young man from his church and took him to buy a suit, shoes and a dress shirt. He then stopped by his wife's T-shirt shop (Tara's, at 2366 Robertson Blvd.) to get the kid a T-shirt. Rubin owns a medical marijuana club next door to his wife's shop. Two police officers entered the shop and asked if the owner of the medical club was in. Rubin, having been there for only five minutes, greeted the men, explained how he ran a church-run cannabis dispensary, invited them to his church in Pasadena and offered to answer any of their Bible questions. After presenting ID showing they were qualified patients to buy medical marijuana, which was verified by Dr. James Eisenberg a licensed Calif. M.D., the police then asked to go next door. Since it was Rubin's day off he did not join them, but stayed with the young man from his church. Within minutes officers entered Rubin's wife's store without a warrant, claiming because Rubin was there it suddenly gave them the right to search the place. That would be akin to searching Macy's because someone on probation was there.

Officers pointed a loaded weapon at the head of an unarmed 11-year child who ran from them and then asked the boy to handle strange pit-bulls that he had never met before. Officers then searched Tara Rubin's business without a warrant and arrested the mayoral candidate on charges of alleged "child abuse." When the preliminary hearing came about, it was obvious the DA couldn't make a case for child abuse and Rubin had all valid permits to be operating his medical marijuana club, which the pastor operates as a church; but it seems that the Constitution doesn't mean anything these days anyway. At Rubin's last trial the judge ruled Rubin could not even mention the U.S. Constitution for fear it "might confuse the jury." In the current case the DA is now claiming that Rubin is not a qualified caregiver and therefore should go to jail for years.

Rubin, a Glenn Beck fan, says "Our Constitution is gone anyway when government agents can get normal law abiding citizens to do acts they are told are legal and then arrest them for it." Rubin had permission from a judge, the probation department, a license from the City of Los Angeles for Selling Medical Marijuana, and he paid his taxes for the medical marijuana he sold on time.

Rubin doesn't understand where the crime is; but the taxpayers of Calif. could be paying to lock him away for up to 12 years starting this Monday if Steven Cooley and Carmen Trutanich get their way. Rubin won't see the last four of his seven children graduate high school. Cooley recently stated, "100 percent of medical marijuana clubs are illegal," and has decided to start with the prosecution of the Pastor and his church once again.

Rubin's wife and children are currently living in a hotel as the city has once again taken all of the money the family had. The pastor is sleeping on the floor of his church as he tries to sell the lease and raise money for his family prior to his incarceration. Says Rubin, "Personally, I think Cooley and Trutanich should spend a week in County Jail. They stole the money my wife worked for over the last six months and the funds were in no way commingled with the church's money. These guys are thieves stealing peoples lives savings without a hearing prior to any conviction."

The DA's office is acting like a criminal organization threatening to jail council woman Jan Perry, going after homeless people, threatening one of the city's best corporate contributors (AEG) and now trying to lock up a pastor with a licensed church, a specialty permit who is only trying to help sick people. At what point does America start to look like the Soviet Union?

The Los Angeles City Council will vote on an ordinance regulating medical cannabis collectives next week, and we need you to help us make it workable. There are some provisions in the draft ordinance that are simply unacceptable. If these are adopted and enforced, many of the city1s collectives will be forced to close.

Can you take a moment today to call your representative on the Los Angeles City Council and ask him or her to make the changes listed below? It does make a difference! City Councilmembers have already responded to community input by making big improvements in the draft ordinance.

You can find your City Council representative by typing your address in the
3My Neighborhood² box at The Official Web Site of The City of Los Angeles - Home or by calling (213) 978-1020.

Don1t live in Los Angeles? No problem! May we recommend you contact City Council President Eric Garcetti at (213)-473-7013?

Tell you representative: 3I am support sensible regulations for medical cannabis in Los Angeles. I want you to adopt the changes recommended by advocates on Friday, November 20. Specifically, I want you toS²

(pick two or three points here that are most important to you)

* Protect patients1 rights by keeping records confidential
* Adopt buffer zones of 500 feet or less between collectives and sensitive uses
* Let collectives share an ally with residential uses
