Yeah man, you don't need much more than a few ounces to last till next harvest if it's a dank strain. You just can't sell as much. And that's some great looking stuff btw.
Question: how do you feel about leaving them in the darkness? Do you think it was worth it or do you think it did more harm than help? They look kind of beat up, but I guess that's the point. How long where they in dankness for? ...oops I mean darkness

Thanx cozy.I really dont know if the darkness helped. It's hard to tell really. As for the beat up look, I let them dry out a little to much.hehe Next time they get theyre own pots. I think that hindered the other ones. The big girl probably grew way more roots than the others. Well see in a few months.

Just started my flower lab again. I mixed up 12 qts of fox farm happy frog with 8 qts perlite and about 3 qts of fox farm ocean forest. I was going to go all ocean forest but all the hydro store had was small bags of happy frog. My plants havent been treated the best the last month here so they dont look the best. But I think theyll pull around.

Hey djbenzo, after I took the drawers out, i attached the old fronts of the drawers to a piece of plywood. After that I started working on my ventilation. It took a few tries but in the end I have a really nice ventilation setup that has a can 9000 attached to a vortex 4" with a speed controller. The fans i ordered off of the internet. When I ordered them I also ordered 12volt molex connectors. This connected me from the fan to a cigarette lighter plug-in. I think the total for 2 nice fans and the connectors with shipping was like $15-20. Any other questions feel free to ask.
WOW WOW. fen nice.

labtec, your grow looks awesome in a dresser, dank a*s buds, I was wondering how hot your light gets in that small of an area, my friend just went and picked up the same light u have and he is going to be growing in a closet about 3 times the area im in, I have 6 CFL's with a total of 17,000 lumens +...and im running around 83 when it is all shutdown during the day, but when i crack it open and leave the window open in my bedroom it keeps the temp below 80, around 78 usually! And also, what kind of nutes are u using if u dont mind me askin? Is the red leaves from the heat? and whats ur lowest temp u get too!

So if my buddy just picked up Grow Big, Big Bloom, and Tiger Bloom, does that mean he doesnt have the full line of Fox Farm Nutes, is the Open Sesame, Beastie Bloomz, and Cha Ching something needed? Do u recommend it or will he be alright with the Grow big, Big bloom and Tiger?

The trio pack of FF works just fine. I used just the 3 for my first 3 grows. I then got the rest of the pack. They do seem to help a little with weight, but I would recommend first investing in a 100% perfect setup. If the setup isn't 100% perfect, it doesn't matter what you feed them, the buds won't be as nice. Usually problems stem from too high of temperatures which slows growth and increases fluffy-ness.
Labtec:
Very healthy looking girls. I think you said somewhere above that you were going to do a little thinning out? I would definitely recommend it because right now with all those fan leaves in there blocking light will make lower bud sites airy. Otherwise things look great! Keep doing what you're doing...

Thx Barnt, I just need to know for my friend, hes trying to grow with the best results with the cheaper-decent priced nutes!! Im using Canna Products, these:
And I thought I would throw in this pic of Purple Kush becuz it was only grown with the Terra Flores (in this pic), and some Beastie Bloomz, only two nutes, not even the same brand!! It worked alright but I think i will get better results using this!!! Instead of Canna's Boost, im going to be getting House & Gardens, Bud XL instead to save about 50 dollars!
