They are looking good! As you say bushy and green. Do you plan on doing any training or just letting them grow?
Good luck and Merry Christmas!

grow looks good untill now cobalt...i hope you have a ph meter my friend...you cant grow on luck alone mate...you should't read this post alone...scawer the site my friend...read other post and learn while your at it....goolge 'growguides' and you should be set.....ohw yea and just dont follow 'any' advise....

be a active member and read read read....

 

[cobalt]

a got a ph meter, but dont know if it works, its a ph/moisture tester, do these things run on batteries, this aint got one, a might have to invest in another, o an does giving thewm rain water help with ph

 

[jaypee89]

I think rain water is pretty much neutral in pH yeh? unless you got that acid rain shet in your area.

I use rainwater and my plants are doing fine

 

[cobalt]

dunno what kinda rain a got but ano there is loads, lol

mmmh is it that kind with a iron little bar under?...is't verry reliable but it does the trick for soils ph i guess......oh yea ...and rainwater i pretty much safe....should almost be ph neutral...found that out last grow ...while i woz growing with a broken ph meter....dont give them 2 much distilled water or something...it robs them from there nutes verry fast....

 

[green_grow]

are you using a Woods timer ? they are junk; i went through 2 of them . get an Intermatic for the same price . they actually last more than a few weeks .

 

[cobalt]

a dunno if its a wood one, but its plastic with pegs, getting it set again a cant be botheres learning how to do it its too complicated lookin, a like nice an easy lolol

 

[cobalt]

core itas greeen with 2 bars, about 4in long i presume to stick in the dirt

 

[Core]

yea i know those....its reasonable correct for soils ph but then you can't remove it and stick it back ...otherwise it is't correct anymore...these things are from start 2 end kinda things...always should stay in the pot...and same place

these things dont work for feedings though..better go and buy a ph meter for the waterings..there not supposed 2 be much money in the usa

 

[cobalt]

yo core, a reckon thats how it works thanks for the advice man, the plants are loving it in ma cupboard.
more pics today or tomorrow.
