Dr Dog, thanks man. I think these are much better than the first batch.

High Lowlander, yes I'm glad I found out the problem before I killed a bunch more. I'm sticking to the old way now. Thanks for the comment on the avatar, I was bored the other day.

FarOut, much better now lol.

Sammet, thanks man.

TML16, hasn't really been much to see, but death lol.

Anima, I'm with you on old school. The dip and read is nice with the pen, but hell sometimes less is best.

dkmonk, no prob, thanks goes to Dr. Hook.

Sleepy, I'm going to stick to the old way. I would hate to lose a batch of nice flowering ladies because of technology, how much was that one? I think for the cost of them, they would be more reliable.

FarOut, for the cost of the ph kits and the reliability,,, there is no better way IMO.

Quick update, I've been feeding my lil ones with PBP grow at 1.5ml's per liter. They seem to like it. I've been watering every second day. Temps are a bit high, but nothing they can't handle. I'll be moving this month, so I hope to get them strong enough to survive the trip.

I have two mutants....




Two beauties....





Plans are in the works for the new room. I'm going with an 8x8 room, 3x8 will be veg and 5x8 for flower. I'm hoping to get my 600 digital light next month. I have a 1000, but don't like how much it costs to run. I'll be venting out the old chimney in the new house. Next question is..... should I run a filter before I vent it out or just vent it???

Are all of the OGA getting new grow rooms? If so I'm moving to Canada :D Sounds good mate - about the venting, Is it just going to exhaust out your chimney? I'd say filter it, just because you can never be to stealthy right? I guess it depends on if you live in a city, proximity to neighbours, single/two floor house etc.

hope you have better luck with these...and i agree with Sammet about the venting..better scrub it before you let it out....coz cannabis can have a real srong odeur if carried on wind !

Hey Sammet, yeah lol we're all getting new rooms. We need to step up and show what we can do eh.... I agree about the filter, I'm going to price one tomorrow.

Hey Core... things are looking good so far... I'll probably pop a few more when these get a bit bigger.

Good to see em doin Well :D

You keepin it indoors this year?

Congrats on the new Home n good move with the lights even 2 400w are anutha option that would cover a bigger area :rasta:

Good advice on the ventilation n i don't know how you are thinkin of transporting the girls but a cooler works great when they are smaller :D

Peace :rasta:
 
Hey BR
Man are all you Canna-dians getting bigger rooms??:D
I really liked the idea Farout suggested about transporting u'r little ones..
I'm already envisioning (that even a word??:wink:) you running around with a cooler full o little plants:D
Good Luck on the new space(s)

Anima, yeah that one is crazy I'm not sure about it either... thanks for checking in.

Sleepy, yeah I remember the hydro days... constantly amending the ph, that's what drove me away from that method. OGA stands for Ontario Growers Association, you'll know more late spring. Take care man....

Dr Dog, hey bro, yeah that one is nuts. I went to the grow store today, lets just say I had a huge smile on my face... like a kid in a toy store.

BagseedSamurai, hey man thanks for the kind words. I think it's just moisture from the humidity. I got your pm, I'll answer as soon as I get some time, it's kind of hectic right now.

FarOut, I won't be growing as many as last year. I will however still have a country side grow, small but still. I hope to have a few potted ones at my new house, but really want to rock the indoor. I normally transport them in a box, I have transported a lot in the day so I have a method to it, thanks for the idea.

High Lowlander, lol I've been waiting for the space to have a nice room for 4 years now. When I have nothing going, it's like something is missing.... I'm an addict lol ... man I love the avatar... that is the blind dude isn't it? I have him hanging off my rear view mirror. Take care man.

Well, I checked the babies and they're loving the PBP. I'll update on Sunday... I've been busy as hell so excuse my absence at all your threads, I hate moving, but at least this time it's for a good reason.

Sleepy, thanks man. I'm hoping to do the move over a little time. I still have to paint the whole place, and move in by the end of the month. Should be fun eh lol.

ZeusOGrefugee, hey man, I'm pretty excited to get an actual room setup, take care.

I was at a local shop the other day looking for some PBP bloom and came across another product called nature's nectar which is a certified organic feeding program. The system is a 3 part system which consists of one bottle of nitrogen (5-0-0), ond of phosphorus (0-2-0) and on potassium (0-0-5). The ratio is 2 ml's of N, 3 ml's of P and K, twice a week during flower. This system is listed as OMRI, as a true organic line which is a bonus. The dudes at the shop said a few people were using it with very good results, so I may end up trying it out.

Here's the babies....first up is the mutant.


Here's the other mutant, but looks much better.


The other 2 beauties, one is already lst'd a bit, nice and compact.




Take care all....
