Welcome to my Basement Garden.
I haven't posted too many threads, respond to few.
I spend most my time in the Chatroom, and read threads all day.
It's a lonley life, but someone has to live it.

How ever due to Overwhelming Requests, a relentless bombardment of PMs, asking me to please impart my tips and Special Gnome like Magic Garden Secretes, I have acquiesced and Invite you into Sin's Basement Garden Lab.
So Where to begin?
Some of you know I pretty much live with my garden. Before I got to IC I was at OG for a few weeks. I tried growing a few times in the 80s and 90s but never even got to flowering anything.
My 1st harvest was small runts in fact, grew em that way not by choice. I had germed the seeds and started vegging before I had a HPS. I was using a rubbermaid and CMF. So they where small. Mazar and Silver Pearl, the 1st 2 strains I can say I know I have Smoked and Growen.
That was before IC, now I have an Apollo 11 Clone, BubbleGum Clone, LSD Seeds, G13 x G13 Seeds, ( Deep Chunk and Cal Jax Testers ) in the dirt!
I guess I have something I feel is finely worth sharing with you. If you are new to growing, and new to IC, you might feel like I did at 1st.
Guys Like Texas Kid and Sharp Pain lol and my good friend Sativa Joe! Intimadated me at 1st. Comming from OG ( I Still Fallow a grow or 4 there ) I see TK and He grows Mazar like no ones business. I was Kinda scared to Post. Don't be. Some of the greatest people on earth call IC Home!
When the now infamous Trade Thread started, well lets just say TK and Sativa Joe came to the rescue. Thanks Guys!
I have had 4 shipments not make it to me from 4 different ppl and Seeds Direct. I thought I never would get a Clone, let alone seeds. Things did not go Swimmingly at 1st.
All is very, very good now. Don't worry about skill leavle or lack of money. Just be honest and open and GOOD WILL will flow your way.

Ok,
Well 1st I have 3 Main Plants in Flower along with some Quickie clones to follow shortly after the main Harvest.
I have 1 Mazar and 2 Silver Pearl for the Main Harvest plants this time.

I use a 400 and 600 Watt HPS Lamps in Flower and 4 4' Floros for veg and seeds yada yada. I use a cpl. of Fans for Air Circulation and Heat control, it don't work great but well....
I have a roll up B&W Polly Door to a Makeshift 5 X 5 flower room. I been usin Fox Farm Soiless Mix No3 I think Ocean Forest I guess. I mix a lot of Pearllite in it. How much is a lot? You know, I just wing it.
I add nothing else to the soil. ( At the moment, that can change with out notice! )
Once the Plants are a few days old I add a Layer of worm Castings to the top, Kinda thick too.
That seems to keep em while in Veg for some time. If they are moms I might use Ferts, but i normally add a bit of Blood, Bone Meal or Bat Crap, to the top soil. Just a lil here an there, when needed.
Once in Flower I add More Worm Castings to the top, and for 1st week add Bone, Blood Meal and Bat Dump to the top kinda mixing into the Woem Poo. I water about every 3 days untill mid flower. I might add more Bat Crap at this point. I flush or Flood a lot.
Some times I water from the bottom, just to make sure the entire pot gets water.
I need a PH meter. I think my PH is too high, that would help a lot I think. But my plants look good. If I say so myself. A new doorway would help out on light leaks, think i might be getting a little. Of course a better exaust are on the list.
Im sexing out some Mazar Seed Plants. Once thats done and the males weeded out, I will give them to some one local to clone out. Hope they are good ones.
Thats all I canthink of for now on that.
But comming up!
