Normally, there's an unwritten rule in here that you don't give people grow advice unless they ask for it. I am always looking to improve my techniques, so that rule won't apply here. Any constructive criticism, comments and questions are welcome.
As the title suggests, not one of my supplies came from a hydro store. I use bone meal, garden manure and Plant-Tone as my primary ferts, all of which are made by Espoma and available at home improvement stores. I try to stay away from salt ferts. I use a silicon supplement and some Kelp extract, also.
My tapwater has tons of calcium hardness, so I use a mix of tap and distilled water with a pinch of Epsom salt.
I read an article about how aspirin(salicylic acid) is great for plants, so I've been pHing with that. It seems to be working pretty well. Half of a tab of aspirin per gallon brings my pH into the perfect range.
My veg setup is a ghetto mix of fluoros, cfls and a small (150 watt) hps.
I will be flowering under a 1 kw hps.
My soil is a mix of Pro-Mix potting soil with sea-based compost and mycorise, peat moss, perlite and some vermiculite.
Well enough of that bullshit, on with the pics. Strains are: ISS from Fed, Indian Haze from Seedsman and Chunky Cheese from Cannacopia
Everything-red is IH plant 1, green is ISS, yellow(between green and red,hard to see) is CC, blue is IH plant 2 and the black arrow points to where I have 2 CCs and 2 IHs. And yes, not only do I grow dope, I am a notorious milk crate thief as well.
IH plant 1
IH plant 2
Plant 3
Plant 4 Unsexed IH and potential pollen source
ISS, she's a little scorched from the light, pretty lousy pic, but it was the best of the bunch.
Unsexed Chunky Cheese, also a little scorched. If he shows balls, he's getting the chop.
