Firstly, I must apologize for being delayed so badly. When I tried previously I was not allowed to the site or my password was not allowed. Anyway, Big Brother is at bay and I am here to report (try to remember;-) ) my final count. I harvested my Classic Cheese (Auto) 090522 - it weighed in WET...

Since last we spoke..... I sense that impatience during flower is due to excitement for results, so... Yes, I accepted another nute into the rotation. I had such great results with Beastie Bloomz beefing up the flower of both the Cheese and the Red Dwarf that I decided to finish off the grow...

Just a quick update..... At this point, classic Cheese is weeks ahead of Red Dwarf so they are being fed differently for the stage which they are at... Both have been getting molasses with their waterings. For the last few weeks, I've given a half dose of Beastie Bloomz every two weeks. I have...

Thx SoOrbudgal! Like everyone else I've done searches, watched endless "experts" on YouTube... studied countless articles. It becomes analysis paralyzes and we jump from one technique and nute to the next, it made me insane 1st time out. Thankfully, my guy at the Hydro shop understood my head...

It's all good! Been feeding 1/2 dose of Gaia Green Bloom soil supplement every other week; while adding 1/4tsp molasses =1/2 gal. water to every other feeding with "Recharge" to feed the soil. During week 8 started a ONCE weekly half dose of Beastie Bloomz 0-50-30. Classic Cheese is @ Day 70 and...

Well, it's kinda soon since the last update [about one week ago] but I wanted to keep you all in the loop. Classic Cheese is Day 57, Red Dwarf Day 54. About 3 to 4 weeks into flower. Been running 24/7 this run w/ approx. 400 to 600watts [depending on who you believe]. It's been relatively smooth...

Classic Cheese Day 46/ Red Dwarf Day 42 Follow on javabob Added another dose of supplemental Gaia Green Power Bloom [every 2 weeks, till close to harvest if things are going well] We are in the middle of a heatwave so trying to manage tent temps to keep below 85 degrees. Working 24/7 so the...

I have been spraying my girls about twice a day. We are out of veg and solidly, healthily in week 5-6 full flower with LST working nicely. I have used distilled water in a spray bottle to coat the plant in moisture since birth. I run 400-600w 24/7 so the tendency to dry/absorb quickly is the...

As of yesterday, I declare we be in FLOWER. Classic Cheese - Day 31; Red Dwarf - Day 28 administered Gaia Green Power Bloom 2-8-4 to the topsoil. Watered in 4 cups each, plain H2O - pH 6.5[ish]. Used half of what was directed - 1/2 teaspoons to each gallon of soil. Using 5-gallon bags, so 2.5...

I waited to start this journal since I wasn't sure if there would be anything for you to take away from the experience. I believe there is so buckle up...I'm retired and just rolled some AK47 from the last go-round. In contrast to the 1st grow, [see @javabob] this time is a piece o' cake. The...

Trying to decide on the size of my next grow bag. What do you prefer, a 3 gallon or a 5 gallon grow bag. What difference does the size matter during the grow?

Starting to plan the next attempt for success. I had a very long grow of autofems! You can look up my name if you need to in order to understand just how screwed up it turned out. Bad soil, fighting pH, what nutes and when....light schedule [when it turns out to be unnecessary] not enough...

IF you've followed me last week I've listened to all opinions, some I liked and some not so much but I have an issue pulling these girls across the finish line....#javabob....I think that will work, maybe. From the beginning, bad soil choices, small lights, and constant battles with pH. Now...

#dilvish, #gbauto I want to thank you both for stepping up, finally #dilvish someone who doesn't give me some soft petaled reply. Straight to it...I've been asking this question for months but you pretty much laid it out:)! Yes, of course, no one has ever taken this long to mature an...

Yes, you saw correctly! More on this after my question. I am still waiting for my flowers to brown up. I have the lights (LED's) on a 12/12 schedule. Also, I have 2 37w Red LED Cans in addition. Last night I left the REDs on thinking that MAYBE it would be helpful it the girls got 24 hours of...
