Hello and welcome to my 600w tent!

Hello Gerty, and all

Might I suggest some trays under your planting pots?

Otherwise the girls look nice

Good luck

WHAB, there will definitely be drainage plates. The pictures were taken about 10 minutes after the arrival of my daughters. Today I hope to transplant one or two into nicely sized buckets with homemade compost containing peat moss, and Black Gold soil. I've never had any problems with this mixture. Very good compost too. Horse manure, peat moss, some ash from burnt wood, fruit leftovers, an entire watermelon that sprouted up in it last year, meaning seedless watermelons can sometimes give you seeds. But it is a very good mix of all the things a growing plant needs!

Also using one or two allows me to see how the plants react to the soil; Too hot, too much drainage, not enough drainage, etc. I also usually put a layer of medium sized gravel at the bottom of the pots to promote drainage.

Thanks for keeping track guys!

I put one clone in soil with compost to test how hot the rot was. One leaf curled just a little and the rest are doing just fine. The growing tips also flared up since transplanting. I'm thinking this strain likes some nice dirty rot. I love the smell, the feel, everything about a nice loamy mixture.
Here are some pictures of said plant. Please excuse the quality:




These little devils will work perfectly. They're very vigorous, becoming rootbound about 4 days after being taken off the tide-table cloner. Fun times ahead! Tent is really heating the room up. Need a small fan to blow air around inside tent. Ceiling fan and open window dispersing the ambient heat quite well, especially at night.
So everything is going great! I'll also start posting about my upcoming poppy crop that I'm tilling the clay for.

I don't want to introduce any negativity to the thread, but have you checked them carefully for insect pests, specifically spidermites?
I only mention it because a couple of the top photos have the look of mite damaged plants (difficult to tell, partly beacuse of the colour)

Glad the little buggers are doing well! :tup

are you talking about the chorosis between the veins in a speckled pattern?

There are no spider mites. I should've mentioned this as they do look like they have spider mites, but I assure you they do not. If this guy's garden did have spider mites, it would impact his business severely as he grows a substantial amount of greenery for the surrounding area and would be losing crops left and right.

well does look like mites from spotted leaf's.
so just for shit's and giggles pull off a leaf and
take a close look at it with some magnification.
if so it's better to kill them now then to have them
in bud. good luck and they look good. clones will
be faster than seeds and you know there female.

[GertrudeGreenbottom]

I do not mean to sound meanspirited or holier than thou, but I can assure each and every one of you that this is far from my first rodeo and I do know what mites are, look like, and how to check for them. In my initial post I said the clones were healthy and fine. By saying this I really meant: The clones are healthy and fine.

Again, apologies, but I've been having people giving me advice on things as if I'm ten years old all day long.
You can all rest assured that I know precisely what I am doing, even if certain aspects to the project are new.

[Lrus007]

no problem just looked like it in photo's.
i am sure you can grow just fine. i will
quit being like a mother hen. thanks for
doing a grow thread here. not many of
them. i wish you the best of luck on your
grow. also hope the strain is good for your pain.

I thought you were just getting started too, my apologies.
Just don't over water.LOL
