Shadowman's Ideal 420 Soil Grow 2014

[shadowman]

Looking nice and tidy man. .

Just wondering which part of the world you're in when you say good morning @ 02:59pm lol. That is GMT by the way so i'm assuming you're across the pond. Anyway, enjoy your sunday.

Yes, I'm in the U.S. You're about 7 hours ahead of me. I'm in CST in the U.S.

I guess, better late than never. Subbed.

In the last pic I can see the soil. Is the 420 soil that light brownish? What would you say the consistency is? Based on the color (and my extreme inexperience) is looks like it may be "grainy", yes?

I just dropped my seeds a few days ago in my hempy set up. I've always been very intimidated by soil because they are a plethora of mixes /combos/opinions. I'm hoping this 420 soil finishes good, because it just may be me next grow attempt.

Chinnubie is correct, I have a couple of inches of play sand on top of the soil. The soil itself is not grainy at all, it is very lite and airy. It's never too late to subscribe to one of my journals. Thanks for stopping in and hope to see you around again.

Your a (cfl) growing machine Shadowman, outstanding job can't wait to see what you do in flower.

Hey 60cal, I wouldn't go so far as to say I'm a growing machine. Thanks for the compliment though.

Shadowman is prolly away smoking the shit outta Medi1. Good news do it every time.... Best CFL grow I've ever seen.

LMAO Tamir, I do stay medicated! Thanks man.

Hey y'all, I took some time off from the magazine. I had some family issues and did some work in the grow room. I lost Medi3, she hermied on me. Medi2 is doing awesome and I'll be posting an update using video as soon as it uploads. "Keep The Green Side Up"

Can my mom call your mom to see if I can come over and play?

Looks great man! I missed what you said about the supplement, what was it? I think I heard correctly that you used it right before switch over, right? And when was the other time?

This 420 soil looks like it would make a good time for my first soil grow.

Hey Colesdad, I watered with Rhizostym. It's a growth stimulant, I used it around 30 days into veg and again about 1 week before flower. Ideal 420 Soil sells it as the only additive if you use any at all.

Here's a trichome development update.

Looking wonderfully sticky!

I looked on their website for the supplement but I couldn't find it. Am I overlooking it, or would I need to contact them directly? My hydro store isn't carrying the soil, yet.....

I would contact them and ask them if it's still available. I have a bottle and a half from my first purchase back in March so I haven't been to the website in awhile.

Yes sir scrogging makes them girls huge.. Man you keeping growing like that and get some big lights you are going to get pounds out of them girls. Outstanding training on them.

 

[shadowman]

Thanks Professor, The buds closest to the lights are getting firmer this go-round and more pistils and trichomes. After this harvest I'm going to tweak the grow room and start looking hard at some LED.

How did this grow turn out?

We would love to be updated with some pictures and info.

How about posting a 420 Strain Review?

If you need any help with posting photos, please read the photo gallery tutorial: Photo Gallery Guide: How to Resize, Upload & Post Photos

I am moving this to Abandoned Journals until we get updates.

Thanks and hope all is well in your world.

Love and respect from all of us here at 420 Magazine.

Hey Colorado High, would you please move this journal back into active status? I've been posting updates and I'm still in flower with this journal. Thankyou for your help.

 

[shadowman]

Thanks for stopping in. Here's some photos of Medi2 6 weeks in flower.

I'll be posting a video update next week. I've got the lights down low and will be doing some thinning and trimming anything that isn't going to amount to decent popcorn. The buds closest to the lights are getting fat and much firmer than last run. As CO Finest pointed out in one of his great videos, I believe some of my success and improved growing is due to better genetics from this seed as opposed to Medi1 last grow. Medi2's buds are looking better at 6 weeks than Medi1 did at 8 weeks. The cooler temps of winter are playing into my hand. The temp and humidity has dropped 10 degrees and 10% and steadier between lights on and lights off. Thanks for stopping by and hope to see you soon. "Keep The Green Side Up"

the more I see, the more impressed I am at this Ideal 420 Soil! I'm seriously considering soil now as apposed to hempy. I considered Doc's mix, but I simply don't have the room to mix large quantities and store them between grows. It is much easier for me to just grab some dirt in a bag. Of course, an obstacle right now is that my hydro store isn't carry it as of last week. Hmmmm decisions, decisions.......

 

[Chinnubie]

Hey dude they look great, LOTS of trichs. Gonna be some good smoke. I had to hobble myself into the computer room to take a look. Just put the LF's into flower Wednesday and rearranged the closet to get the fan to work with the lights keeping the temps nice and even in the closet. I'll talk at ya later.

Hey Colesdad, What's shak'in dude? I'm really liking it, I haven't had any problems out of these plants what-so-ever. The 9 plant package they sell on there website is a good deal in my opinion, you can pot closer to 12 plants.
I know just about everyone has complained about the shipping cost but it's said that total cost of product and shipping is about $20usd per plant and you don't have to add any nutes or additives if you don't want to. I'll shoot you a pm.

Sup Chinnubie, hate you are hurting. As soon as the other clones are ready I'll express them. How'd the chop go? I'll have to pop over and check your update. "Keep The Green Side Up"
