Let's Attempt A 1lb Grow!

i get mine from local veterinary and farm supply places. there are a number. they're cheap.

edit : you're gonna want a couple different sizes. i find 20ml and 50ml to be useful in smaller grows. you can get them as large as 100ml.

Thanks bro unless I decide to go with five gallon buckets to keep my water in just a simple teaspoon 5 ml will work. Which eventually I will have 5 gallon buckets I'm trying to get them from work I got to clean up glaze out of it from the donuts. That way I'll be able to put a AirStone in it so to keep it oxygenated. But for now it's going to be 1 gallon jug which is simple one teaspoon is 5 ml which equals gram.

I water from the top down along the outside edges so it doesn't touch the stem, until water comes out of the bottom. Never drowned a seedling or had one damp off yet.

I tip the cup as I water to make sure it stays along the edge.

You know it's a very good idea for young seedlings and that's how I'm going to do them tonight when I get home before I put my tent up and that way they can sit there and do what they do then when I put that up and fill the 2 gallon pots up I can set them on top and let them sit on top of the two gallon pots with dirt where their final resting spots going to be. I might be able to crank that light I'm going to set it about 16 in from them
 
I just got to find some way to make like a air filter put around my intake so I don't like the dust that builds up on it and goes in and settles on some of my leaves sometimes. I don't like that shit it's kind of like a plant will just be laying there and dust all over it fuck that. That was a problem I had last time that damn intake got caked with dust and I had to clean it. And it kept blowing it in on my plants I don't like that shit I'm a clean freak. And when I put my tent up I'm wiping it down with hydrogen peroxide.

a furnace filter against the tent intake is a cheap solution. you want the cheapest filter.
 
I hope everybody's day went well! I know my day did plus today's my Friday I ain't got to work tomorrow thank God.

But anyways here you go their new home!! Big sturdy 2x4.

We going to see how well they adapt I know they're going to explode with growth especially when I grab those nutes..

I went ahead and gave them some little bit of that Epsom salt in their water just a tad bit anything helps right now I guess but they got some Fox farm on top of them. When I first sowed the seeds the only dirt I had on hand was some playground sand fresh out of the bag peat moss and some really good rich topsoil and I mixed it all together.

When I transplant in the pots you see them sitting on top of that is Fox farm Happy frog!!!

Right now they are sitting under 110 w at 16 in.
Also this is how much illumination I'm giving them at 16in.

Plus I have no clue why the words went black!

Nice new setup!

Don't just feed them whatever you have on hand. Skip the Epsom salts! ;)
 
You know I just realized something I tried to calculate in grams my last harvest I'm figuring two grams a watt and I was actually a little over I had a 220 Watt Enjoyeild and received 7 1/2 oz! Thanx Shed!!

Too late for the salts good morning by the way it was just a little slight smudge of it barely enough to even do anything
 
I imagine what's in the next week those roots are going to be so busting in those cups which is a good thing cuz now they get their 24-hour light!!

I am so sorry Shed I really just didn't want to say anything to you but you're a good man and I know you're only helping me but for like three or four days they had 18/6 light schedule. But now I promise you they're 24/7!

You have to understand bro I just couldn't take no chances because the first day I let the lights stay on and I went to work all I did was worry and I couldn't stay focused at work you got to do what you got to do right.

Again I know it ain't your grow and it's mine I can choose whatever to put the light on but I'm taking your advice on this one I want to see this 24/7... Then I can look in all them anytime I want even if I roll out of my bed in mid sleep. Haha
 
Lots of folks run 18/6 so that's fine. So is 20/4! The downside to 24/0 is really the electric bill more than anything. Whatever you do though, pick a number and run it until flip. It's no good to run 24/0 and then in a month move it to 20/4 or 18/6. If you want to save some coin on the electric bill, go with a dark period and stick there until 12/12.

Appreciate your advice bro but I'll probably keep it 24/7. Because 110 w or even the 220 Watt ain't really going to make a difference that much in the electric bill so I think I'll be okay on that one I think it'll be like an extra $10 a month I'd say 20 at the most
 
I think even when I get to Mars 3000 I don't think it would run it up that much either. Cuz 300 watts ain't that much either hell I'll run more than that with my little space heater that I use down in the basement when I'm down here watching Netflix it's 1500 watt
 
Who knows my friend either way it goes they going to be some beautiful plants but I'll probably run this one 24/7 I'll take one clone off each plant I have it in that little box that I started these in. Or if I'm still in veg I'll just leave them in the damn tent because they'll be in a Solo cup with a solo cup on top
 
I'd be surprised if you get that 300 watt light turned all the way up in a 2x4.

Let me ask you this on these two gallon pots you think I'm going to be okay all the way to harvest time with them?
