back from vacation with 5 600hps and some pretty weeds
Hi guys. It's been awhile since I had a good grow going but I started this latest baby up in May and it seems to be going pretty well so I thought I'd share.
 I've got 5 600hps sunmaster bulbs in there, air cooled. There are 35 lovely Strawberry Diesel and Sour Queen ladies growing healthy and happy right now. My medium is promix, and this time around I am giving Fox Farm a run, using their whole line including micronutes. I had been using Botanicare on my previous grows but I started to develop some kind of funky skin reaction. Yich. Anyhoo, on to the pictures. Sorry they're not better, I'm no photographer! One more thing to learn on this wild journey.  Last edited by AtomicBetty; 06-27-2009 at 05:08 PM.. Reason: hooking up my pictures |

Very nice setup Betty. Always nice to see women growing. When my wife and I split up for a while she wanted to grow on her own so I taught her how and she did great. Now we are back together and we do much of it together which never happened when we were together before unless I needed her to hold something for me.
You look like you have it going on there. And Fox Farm ROCKS! Give the Tiger Bloom a try. The results will freak you out. Grow on girl!! |

Hey guys, thanks for the welcome.
I popped down last night to find some mites on the underside of some big mama jammas and I am all bummed! I even did a trifecta of bombs in the first 1.5 weeks of flower to just kick those little bastids asses, but alas, they're totally my worst room-enemy. I know I'm not the only one..  Hopefully I can stave them off with crushing and maybe water spray -- I'm just too late to hit up the einstein oil. Boo. *squish squish squish* I'm expecting to see some little ambering hairs this week. As soon as I spot them I'll up with the pictures! |

Sorry to hear about the mites Betty. I fought with those bastards for 2 grows a few years ago, and it wasn't much fun. Finally had to kill off the garden and start over fresh.

The best thing I have ever used for spidermites has been Safers Insecticidal soap. It is no toxic to humans but kills the hell out of those little bastards. I spent 8 hours in a greenhouse with 50 plants and probably that times a million mites and after spraying the top and bottom of every leaf they were never seen again. I swear by that stuff!! |

Changed my bulbs today, I know it's weird in the middle of the cycle, but you know, smoke if you got em, and I got em today, so woot!
Everything is going great really, I am keeping the critters at bay to some degree -- I am gonna check out that Safer soap, too, thanks for the tip!! Here, though, is what I am really here for. The pix!  :ab.

looking good.
How's that CO2 working out for you? You know if you want to kill those bugs just pump up your CO2 for a few hours and it will choke those bastards.. there is some more info on that on here somewhere.
