My 1st grow

Black Gold works good too. They even have it here at "Fred Myers". They was a nursery back in Mo. I use to get these huge bags of soil from, it was 15$ I think it was 3 cubic foot bags. It was their house mix for all their tomatoes and pepper starts. I used it to amend my veggie gardens, and I had 10' tomatoes loaded with fruit, peppers, corn, even califlower and bussel sprouts. I always loved to garden. Veggies to weed, don't matter to me. You ever wanna see a clone take off, try tomatoes. They will be rooted and growing in half the time it takes weed. GL with your grow Dude.

Thanks Green I'll look into that as well..
I grew up planting corn, maters, pumkins, peppers and many different things in the backyard. I've never cloned before but I like the idea. I'll have to do more reasearch before I'll attempt it. I am thinking about it though. So all I need is some rooting gel and some pod starters, a mini-greenhouse and a light on them 24 hours a day for about 2 or 3 weeks right? I have heard two different ways two cut the plants though, 1. cut at a 45 degree and 2. cut it on all four sides like a spear that way the roots can forkoff in all directions. When the roots start popping out they are ready for transplanting. I have a 2foot shop light fixed with grow lights as well as 200 watts of cfl's would that be enough light to veg some clones in their own little area? I dont know if it would be enough. Of course this is just a start I plan on getting better cfl's after seeing the wonderful grows and results with them.
 
I know you dont have a hydro store there but since were talking about soil I just wanted to say that I am not a big soil person but I have some extremelly happy plants right now in Ocean forest soil from foxfarm (I beleive). Also "Happy frog" is good stuff I hear too. Its pretty expensive but man these plants just absolutally LOVE this soil! Just LOOOVE it!

Hell yea I 4got about GR bro. Sound great, I 'll have to look into it. Yea I want to grow out doors this spring/summer, but I need to find a spot. I'll have to keep my eyes peeled for that gorilla grow this summer..
 
Sup Green & Tiger,

I'll have to look into it, also to check it out and see how much it is..

Thanks for stopping by guyz!!
 
I'll post some info for you on some good gorilla info that I learned, if you like. There are some nice time release nutes that wil make your grow outdoors alot easier. i use on inparticular. I dont have any at the moment, cause i didnt do the forst thing this year. But trust me my forest will be on. I've already startedto get supplies. Nows the time tostart saving and getting all the stuff, that way it doesnt cost 1k all at once, not that it will.
 
Butch i'd be interested, now's the time to start planning for the spring.
 
Wood! that's just what i was looking for. you rule!
 
Hey fellow statesman, I read your entire journal. Nice job. My first grow attempt was a huge debacle. Now I'm on try 3. The second attempt absolutely zero of 12 seeds germinated.

I'm flowering my first girls right now and I might get a dimebag. LOL

Attempt 3 has another 12 seeds I'm guessing another week until they sprout.
 
Good looking out on that info Wood!!!! I will have to invest in those when I get a chance..


crustedflith: I wish you the best of luck bro, I'll have to take a look at ur journal bro. Sorry to hear about ur misfourtune maybe the 3rd time is the charm!! Who knows.. How did you germinate them? just wondering because I got pretty good results from just using paper towels and water. I always try to keep it simple.. That's my 1st rule..LOL

Thats exactly how I did it. Nothing happened. The first time I got 9 of 9 to germinate. But my plants after 8 weeks of veg have only grown about 8" and have only a single stalk. Its really quite bleak. But its trial and error for me.

Whats really fucked up is my plants only have 3 leaves instead of 5. I hope this next group turns out better.

May I ask what kind of light do you use? That does not sound right at all. My plants are just about 8 weeks and they have alot of growth. About germination put water in a cup and drop ur seeds in and wait 24 hours or so and see what ya get. That works as well. Hope this info can help!! Best of luck bro!!
 
Damn it looks like I might have to put down one of my babies. U-K#4 has what looks like balls and they have been getting bigger day by day. What a shame, but on the up side it looks like my U-K#5 my lst is a female. Baby white pistols started to sprout out of her 2day. So I'm really happy about that. Last but not least is U-K#3, this plant has not shown one sign of which sex it is!! Oh well only time will tell!!!

So far 3 out of 5 is not bad!!

:thankyou: to the Budda Godz for granting me such beautiful ladies.

sorry about the male MI. Don't wait too long to remove daddy. They can pop pollen pretty quickly. 10 days or so, I've read, but I wouldn't take the chance.

I've got 2 floros with alternating full spectrum and cool white bulbs. Plus a 100 watt floro full spectrum. So I'm running 260 watts currently. I've been reading its all about seed genetics so I may have just gotten a bad batch.

I'm amazed at what you guys are doing in such short periods of time.
