Thank you sednal :smile:
I have a Kodak 10 megapixel - works pretty good

i am running a 400w with a NOT air cooled hood in the same size tent check out my grow. I do have solid 65 F intake though

Sweet and clean setup sednal

FYI I have my portable air cond. set at 78 degrees, my interior temps range from 77-80 during the day and 68 @ night. I am sure things will change once I setup my tent and 400 Watt HPS. Just ordered this afternoon!

I'll be keeping an eye on your grow sednal. I can use everyone's grow experience to help me achieve a successful grow. Let say, an ounce is my target

peace bro

Day 47 of 12/12

my zoom is decent - I'm waiting on this cool bionic eye camera toy thing to zoom good on the trics
looks like the trichs are getting cloudy and I see a few ambers here and there
what's the burnt tips from? lights/heat or nutes?
I watered with half dose of Tiger/Big Bloom - Last dose for 1 & 2? or one more half dose? then water/molasses for 10 or so days till they finish?
think I will keep #3 going as is for an extra 10 days then flush.

Looking real nice man, getting real fat

 

[growMEDS]

Thanks Mist & Seismic - New pics coming up in a few minutes
gettin a lil fatter

Day 49 of 12/12
Today was last dose (half dose) of Tiger/Big Bloom for 1 & 2

opinions on molasses? try it or no?

 

[VerdantGreen]

buds are looking fat!

molasses - i dont know, dont use it myself. some people swear by it, others say you can taste it in the buds. maybe give them a couple shots then just plain water for the last week?

good luck

V.

 

[growMEDS]

And I may feed a lil more and keep um goin a lil longer

Mollases seems pretty awesome to me but go with what you feel. Looking spectacular!

 

[growMEDS]

Thanks Tamio and Scrub for stoppin in guys :smile:

Here is what someone else said

I have yet to hear of any reason why.

Molasses is just simple sugar carbohydrates. The plant produces similar simple sugar carbohydrates...so it does not use the molasses itself. In organic growing, most nutrients used are in complex compounds which the plant can not uptake through it's roots. Microbes in the soil break down the complex compounds into simple compounds, which the plant kin then uptake through it's roots. In return fer doing that, plants normally excrete the simple sugar carbohydrates they produce, through the roots, to supply the microbes with the food they need. Its a symbiotic relationship. By using the molasses, you take over the feeding of the microbes, allowing the plant to expend energy doing other things...like grow.

But most ferts we use are already in simple compound form, so there is no need fer the microbes to break anything down...especially at the end of the plant's life when ya want it to start usin up it's stores of food.

If stealth is not a major concern get a grow tent like growMED. Use his experience et. al. to jump right in.

I had to be difficult and build my own to see what it is like, but if you follow this thread and VEGAN you will save time and money in the long run.

 

[Bon.G.Loder]

SICK! Really nice job you've done growMEDS. U may be a 1st timer but you've certainly got a knack for growing!

 

[BorkBorkBork]

Lookin' damn nice!

Can't wait to see the finished product!
