My 2000W all Organic 5 Strain Medical Grow

northstate · Jan 2, 2011

Hey L2grow I have used smart pots for about two years and I love em. Heard the airpots are good too but have not seen or tried them myself. A milk crate or something to set shorties on will help with light making it more even. The smarties need to be watered more than those 5gal buckets you have but growth with make that it all worth while. Water them in two stages, first to wet the soil and let it soak and second to saturate. The fabric is porous so if you dumped a gallon on one it would run down the sides quickly. Not much different watering though just my two pennies. They are worth it and just turn them inside out and wash on gentle cycle warm in the machine, done.
Zendo is on it with the #5 shades. MH gives off uv that is pretty harmful and its very damaging over time for your eyes. Sunglasses do something but arent really rated the same for protection as welding specs. Some have flip up style shop goggles so you can see real color to evaluate for a second. Your eyes are worth the price of a smart pot.

p.s. set the smarties in a plant tray/saucer or flat to prevent runoff. GoodGrowing NS

Zendo- Thanks, im going to have to get me a pair or 2 of those! I already have bad eyes no need to make them worse!

Northstate- Thanks, im gonna pick me up some for the next round. I seen them at the gardening store last time i was there..I think it will really help my plants because my mix is a little on the heavy side..

Also I think I might see balls forming on the bagseed plants which means their hermie..i didnt have my scope on me to check it out but to the naked eye it looked like balls..ill give them more time

The skunk#1 are developing buds very fast. Much faster then all my other plants. Hairs everywhere..and they are hardly stretching at all. pics to come soon

Heres the Cheese. Shes big and getting a lot biggger! At least 2 1/2 ft tall by 2 ft wide, very very bushy

These 4 are the little buds coming up everywhere on my skunk #1

Had to throw out 2 hermies tonight..good thing they were only bagseed. Never playing with bagseeds again what a waste of time! Make you so happy growing all pretty and stuff, then they turn out male.

Other then that they are all pretty healthy..Even the lemon skunk that wasnt doing so well might be turning around and getting better. but still to soon to tell..Im gonna order a 4x4 tent tonight so I can finally go full perpetual. In the past ive cloned and vegged in a <2x3 space in a closet and its not enough space to keep as many plants as i need to happy for long enough. I had to let them get rootbound so they would slow growth for a while. Now i can keep them growing while the others finish flowering and hopefully the flower room never has to change off 12/12

plants look good you should try some azatrol this is real good stuff it will nock down the mites and will controll them. Good product to use every 7 day continous. it is an organtic product.

Nice bushy cheese plant. How long did u veg that lady?

love2gro · Jan 17, 2011

thanks for droppin in guys..

medkind thanks I will keep that in mind for if the bastards come back. I havent seen them since i added some no pest strips, but i do appreciate the advice ( Im sure they willl be back some day)

dgt420 im not sure the exact veg time, but probably somewhere around 1 1/2 months. She was pretty underfed for a week or 2 though as i didnt have much veg space and had to keep her smaller until bloom room finished

the skunk #1 is starting to smell like a sweet SWEET wine.very different and unique smell.love it
the lemon skunk, i guess smells lemony lol. hard to explain it. all i can say is it makes jerk your head away from the plant and make face like you just bit right into a lemon it is just such an intense overwelming sweet odor..in a good way!
the white widow is hard to explain. its a musky earthy smell. my gf says it smells like a christmas tree, but not a fresh cut one.( she dont smoke tho and always thinks it smells wierd)
the cheese,mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm, i cant explain this one right now but its beautful..ill get back to it tomorrow after i take a big wiff. i loaded a bowl of the skunk #1 when i started typing this and each one got harder and harder to explain
